World traveler, liberal-tarian, beet hater. If it harm none, do as thou will. 8647 is greater than 1488. Simple arithmetic. The First Amendment should be on Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs. You are born with liberty. You are not born with security.

False cartoon. T---p would never express interest in anything anyone else did but himself.

The #MontrealCognitiveAssessment has a mobile app. Try it. You'll see just how, um, difficult it is.

That's the exact quotation.

See, he thinks someone is funding a protest because all that side knows is paying people to attend, like at a campaign rally. Every accusation is a confession, chapter 9,843.

I don't trust @washingtonpost.com to run the ad. I'll believe it when I see it.

That's classic cult behavior.

Treasonous shitweasel? Sounds like you've been utilizing your Scottish insult generator.

Me, I prefer Shakespeare's insults. "Thou crusty botch of nature!" (Troilus & Cressida, A5/S1)

This reminds me of the @newyorker.com cartoon in which a parent, watching a #marchingband go by in a #parade, proudly crows, "Look! My son is the only one who's marching in step!"

Those gauche little motifs can always be removed later.

#Europe should know better. I'm disappointed.

I bought this coffee mug on Etsy this week. Not the same artwork, but the same verbiage.

It was either MattGaetz or this? Uff da!

Mike Johnson might as well go back to law school and repeat #ConstitutionalLaw. He's not getting anything out of being submissive to T---p (being T---p's bitch) and lying about everything. He needs to relearn that CONGRESS DOES NOT REPORT TO THE PRESIDENT. Sorry to shout.

#America was meant to be a place where who your ancestors were did not matter. Where anyone could get ahead by honesty and hard work, not by bribing those in power. T*p has never worked a day in his life. Everything he is is because of who his ancestors were and who he paid off to get to the top.

Maybe I'm reading too much into this, but in addition to all his other faults, is @rfk-junior.bsky.social anti-Semitic as well? Wonder how early he thinks "early" #circumcision is, like, as early as eight days?

RFK Jr. said children circumcised early had 'double' rate of autism linked to Tylenol use

The U.S. secretary of health and human services cited a preprint study to back his claim.

I am so glad I binge-watched #BreakingBad last year; otherwise, I would never get this joke.

So, when T---p dies and someone else is in the WH, this will be the way the USA does things? This will be okay forevermore?

I don't know which side you're on, but the USA was founded on the premise of thousands of years of "this is the way we do things" was NOT okay.

"This is not about Democrats or Republicans ... No one wants a government in which officials accept cash bribes for government action. That is the stuff of banana republics or the type of Beltway swamp that Mr. Trump swore to drain."

Is that @drmehmetoz.bsky.social on the left? Does he need to be there in case T---p strokes out?

I'm astonished at the number of people who apparently think the #Nobel Committee makes its decisions the day before it announces the winners. People, it doesn't work that way. They've been deliberating for months.

You may be justified in your feeling, but it will be because the GOP cheats and those who lose will refuse to leave their positions, creating an epidemic of mini-January 6ths all over this country.

Are you still in Europe? You two might want to consider staying there.
