Don't worry, I'm certain there is a system in place that will protect us from this. Perhaps a majority of Republicans voting for what their eyes can plainly see, or a doctor that declared POTUS Biden and POTUS Trump healthy and sane to do their duties. Surely.

JUST NOW: A confused, clearly not-there McConnell votes “AYE” after almost voting NO with Dems but getting *corrected* by handlers around him

I love finding people like this out in the wild, honestly. "LOOK!! It's my ROAD DAWG BRO!! I love this guy! Yeee-AH look at those calves, Yeeee-AH sick gains bro!!!"

I mean... know the interests of your capital investors I guess?? No shock that one of the guys destroying civilization married That. Did she ever get her porn off the ground? How old are the AI girls in it?

So, you could be trying this in good faith, maybe, despite the fact it completely failed under Khamala. You are absolutely going to lose. Chances are, you aren't actually a Democrat. Plenty of Republican Uncle Toms out there ready to role play anything for Boss, even a Dumocrat.

My internet reading obsession number one pick of the past few years is leaving the internet to go IRL along with a few other good friends from that LitRPG genre you've never heard of. When the last 20 years of reading has been MORE obscure than D&D... www.patreon.com/pirateaba/po...

Imagine being complacent with oligarchy and Nazis conquering the world unless you agree with them. -“The funny thing is they’ll have to say, ‘I was offended by what a fictional cartoon cat said.’ I can’t wait for that.”- <sighs> Sounds like you ain't done with the "Culture Wars", brother-in-Christ.

“The funny thing is they’ll have to say, ‘I was offended by what a fictional cartoon cat said.’ I can’t wait for that.” Ricky Gervais reveals what inspired his sweary new Netflix show, Alley Cats, and why he’s done with the culture wars and concentrating on being funny

I mean you've been trying, Trump and Hegeseth have been firing, though. All the black male generals, too.

Army Col. Yolanda Gore was originally scheduled to hand the garrison command to Col. Sunny Keuhl, but those plans were modified Thursday without explanation. It would have been the first time a woman transferred command of Fort Meade to another woman. buff.ly/9WIDVIF

Former butcher here, and we are anything but ordinary, thank-you! Just because we're special snowflakes with a unique and practical set of life skills highly applicable to many action movie situations doesn't make us weird.

A former butcher who dismembered his victim and concealed the body inside a concrete-filled barrel was told that "few ordinary people would have the stomach" to commit such a horrific act.

It took me way to long to see Dungeons and Dragons: Honor Among Thieves. An almost perfect action buddy comedy. Dragon fatter than Terriarch (a timeless trope I used in an OLD D&D campaign), despite the liches and evil magic the BBEG is a mundane human narcissist, top tier chase scene. #WanderingInn

This 1679 “Sabionari” Stradivarius is the only playable guitar by Antonio Stradivari left in this world.🤗 So take just a moment to hear a sound that’s well over 300 years old! @55SweetThing #globalmuseum #music #guitar #Stradivarius

This timeline is like... waiting for a hero with a gun. To save us from illegals, of course. What else could I mean? As the Republican Party tells us every day: "Sometimes violence IS the answer."

New from @stevanzetti.bsky.social: Four years after a mass shooting tore their community apart, this southwest Texas city of 15,000 may soon be represented in the U.S. House by a gunmaker, Second Amendment absolutist, and edgy YouTube personality.

Actually many more than I thought, but when you don’t have to do ten years of paperwork I guess it gets more attractive to take your blood money and run to the land of no taxes… for now. I hear they’re delicious.
