Even with conversion therapy, they can’t quit “cowboying.”

My old, white, non-political, Evangelical MIL said yesterday she might go to a protest soon. He’s in trouble.

$172 million on private jets for Kristi Noem? Incredible.
Meanwhile, the Coast Guard is supposed to save lives and protect our coasts, but apparently it’s easier and far more important to fund her personal travel budget. Wasteful doesn’t even begin to cover it.

Months ago I commented on a post that every female I know sees what's happening in America and most males I know don’t see it. Yesterday, some guy replied to that same old post with, “Biased much.” Nope. Observant. The ladies lead fearlessly.

Don't let this story die. These are not little boys. This is not in any way acceptable. All these pathetic losers need to be condemned in the strongest language possible by ALL republicans and prevented from ANY political positions for life.

Words matter, like the adjectives below.

Keep using senile. Liar. Psycho. Conman.

Unwell will be used as a defense later on.

Fred Guttenberg @fredguttenberg.bsky.social · 9d

This senile liar who currently occupies the White House does not remember that he was President on January 6th.

If you voted for this senile liar, and if you enable him today, you clearly are ok with breaking America. The ruins of our once great nation are because of you.

I witnessed a protest by the cotton-top wing of Antifa on Friday! They were outside a local Fox affiliate peacefully exercising their First Amendment rights. Maybe my town will be liberated next.
