I have no idea how Zelenskyy didn’t punch Trump and Vance after that humiliating exchange.

When asked if he was going to visit the crash site he said, ‘what site? The water? You want me to go swimming?’ This is one of the last pics of the young skaters who died. He’s a sociopath. Anyone who voted for this monster should be ashamed at best.

In 1659, the the Puritans in Massachusetts enacted a law that declared that Christmas was sacrilege and exchanging of gifts, greetings, and wearing fine clothing on that day was Satanic. Anyone caught celebrating was fined 5 shillings. (About 5 days wages.)

I want to thank Dr. Lynn Carter, Dr. Peter Hotez, and of course @michaelemann.bsky.social
I’ve said it before and I’m sure I’ll say it a thousand times more: We are not a Christian nation. We are a nation where you are free to be a Christian. — Your religion guides you, not all of us. It’s as simple as that.
It will not end well for Trump and MAGA. I don’t know when that will be. But I do know that in history, dictators are always defeated and brought down by the people they seek to dominate.
