I hope Stephen Colbert lands somewhere else because we need him. Also, I can’t hear the Rainbow Connection song without tearing up, never have been able to - even a parody version. I love this so ...

It's odd that Republicans can do the mental gymnastics to link Tylenol to autism, but not link gun deaths to guns.

My friend who lives in #Portland said this today about conditions there: "I went to the Saturday market today... the terrorists selling hand made dog bandannas were so scary, and there were people armed and dangerous with several varieties of seasonal fruits and veggies." 🥦 🥕 🥗

The shooter is white, male, and from a reasonably prosperous background, so we're not allowed to associate a group he's part of with his actions. Like all sufficiently affluent white males, he is a unique and precious snowflake, unlike any other, sui generis.

I think non-religious people don't understand the significance of the shooter being from Utah. This Mormon woman who left MAGA explains that she genuinely believed the Constitution was from God, patriotic songs were holy, and Dems were literally--LITERALLY--Satan. www.youtube.com/watch?v=vXQa...

I STILL find it hard to believe that a man…

Credibly accused of child rape.

Who is blocking all evidence around his involvement.

Who now claims it’s a hoax.

Who ordered jets to disrupt a victims press conference.

Who is in hundreds of photos with Epstein.

STILL HAS ANY SUPPORT WHATSOEVER.

Ghislaine was found guilty of perjury twice.

I don’t care what she says I believe the victims

Trump & Epstein savagely raped a 13 YR OLD GIRL! When the child pleaded for mercy, Trump responded by violently striking her in the face. Trump is a sadistic pedo monster who belongs in prison. Shame on the assholes who ignored Trump’s sociopathy & voted for him based on their skin color #Epstein

Whenever you hear some farcical language from right wing ideologues claiming Trump (or Republicans) have a "mandate," to engage in their destruction of the USA's government agencies and programs, remember this: more people voted for someone ELSE in 2024 than voted for Trump.
