There are some days when I think we will not survive another 2 years...especially our elections. I didn't vote for the man in the Oval Office...and I certainly do not deserve him.

"Anyway, no drug, not even alcohol, causes the fundamental ills of society. If we're looking for the source of our troubles, we shouldn't test people for drugs, we should test them for stupidity, ignorance, greed and love of power." - P. J. O'Rourke Prime example was on display yesterday...

Our country has lost its soul...to a man with no moral compass. We are where we are because we, the collective citizenry, have lost our ability...our intentionality...to think independently. Lack of independent thought means stupid choices.

Violence is wrong, no matter the intended target. What is equally wrong is the hypocrisy about which targets deserve the violence rained upon them & those who don't; who gets mourned & who doesn't. Time for self-reflection, especially for those of us who claim, or have claimed, Christianity.

JD Vance is hilarious (and I say that quite sarcastically!). He continues his interesting projections...just because the Republicans have to cheat in order to win elections, doesn't mean the NFL needs to "rig" games for the Chiefs to win. www.kabc.com/2025/08/29/j...

@nbcphiladelphia.com One of your reporters asked a parent, almost in tears because his child was on the Villanova campus, what was going on in his mind. Don't ask such questions amid the situation; it was invasive and seemingly lacked compassion...at least wait until the situation is over.

While it is apparently newsworthy that Trump shared he wants to get to heaven, it seems like bull shit. If there is a heaven, God isn't going to capitulate to Trump...and we know...Trump can't stand not being the one in charge...or the one not being worshiped. www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

dailymail.co.ukTrump makes deeply personal confession about Russia-Ukraine peace dealPresident Donald Trump voiced his interest on Monday in eternal salvation on Tuesday as he discussed his ongoing efforts to negotiate a peace between Russia and Ukraine.

While MAGAworld is hoping Epstein's list will be limited to Democrats and those billionaires who aren't MAGA; it's insane to think that their orange god will emerge unscathed. I mean, it's not like there aren't a lot of photos of him with Epstein having a grand ol' time with seemingly young'ins.

Thinking about the Senate and the House Republicans...I realized that not only do they confuse whining with governing, they also confuse ass-kissing with policy.

@fetterman.senate.gov... Tr&!*p pulled us out of the Iran Nuclear Agreement...and has now decided to bomb Iran...without provocation. Tr&!*p is acting more like a child who didn't get the birthday present he wanted than he is a President. You are on the wrong side of history...

We have failed our country by electing a self-serving, narcissistic man who has sycophants for advisors. An individual who kisses his ass isn't going to look him in the eyes and tell him the truth.

We learned during Obama's administration, Trump's first administration, Biden's administration, and Trump's second administration that Republicans consistently confuse whining with governing.

Musk bought himself the Oval Office...Trump thought he found a well-endowed lackey... Titans of industry? Nah...two little boys whipping out the measuring tape... and now the country is finding out that neither one of them has the goods...

Reading the news...and I have to say... The GOP seems to be comprised of mostly people who do not give a flip about anyone else; it saddens me because they didn't use to be this way. But now? To quote their narcissist in charge ..."at levels never seen before."

"The White House spokesperson, Karoline Leavitt, confirmed on Tuesday that the Trump administration is considering pathways to deport citizens as well. - The Guardian 4/13/2025 One has to ask Congress as to where the bridge too far for THEM actually is. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

theguardian.comTrump’s already skirting due process. Now he’s musing about deporting citizens | Moira DoneganAmid a series of sadistic expulsions, the White House says Trump has reflected kicking Americans out of the country

"They" didn't care... - when they rounded up immigrants and shipped them off without due process. - when Tr*p, M*k, and DOGE took wrecking balls to systems and services that protect us, our health, our kids. ...UNTIL their gods hit their pocketbooks. They are just greedy little whiners.

Trump’s own voters are turning on him.

T*p has proven he has no integrity and seems honoring negotiations or promises is optional. Why would any business, large or small (or the rest of us), bet on him & invest money in building new/refurbishing manufacturing sites in the United States? He thinks most of us are that stupid.

"Gentlemen, he may talk like an idiot and look like an idiot. But don't let that fool you. He really is an idiot." - Firefly (G. Marx), Duck Soup, 1933; banned by Mussolini. Well...if the shoe fits. Frankly, the tariff calcuations & and putting tariffs on islands w/no humans seem to fit.

I am so fed up with white Christian patriarchy...and those cowards in Congress are not only enabling its propagation, they want us to go back to when we groveled to a king. If they spent as much time fight for democracy than they do kissing T's ass, we'd wouldn't be in this place.

They were hired because they were white...and because they are "Yes" people. In reality...they are unqualified imbeciles and f*king morons...just like their white savior.
