I don't wish this job on anyone, but someone should do a history of how Trump's social-media pronouncements get particularly rageful/hateful/insane on holiday weekends. Maybe there's something about being alone while others celebrate, or vague, in-and-out awareness that he's waning and hated, etc.

I hate it when my family argues about politics at Thanksgiving. My Independent Dad is yelling at my Covenanter cousin for allying with the king while my Fifth Monarchist uncle keeps making cryptic pronouncements about the Book of Daniel, and here I am, a Leveller.

Daylight licked me into shape
I must've been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone,
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
You, Soft and lonely
You, Lost and lonely
You, Just like heaven
I must've been asleep for days
And moving lips to breathe her name
I opened up my eyes
And found myself alone,
Alone above a raging sea
That stole the only girl I loved
And drowned her deep inside of me
You, Soft and lonely
You, Lost and lonely
You, Just like heaven
If I leave here tomorrow
Would you still remember me?
For I must be traveling on, now
'Cause there's too many places I've got to see
But if I stay here with you, girl
Things just couldn't be the same
'Cause I'm as free as a bird now
And this bird you cannot change

They should have voted no. They could have abstained. They could have proposed a similar resolution condemning fascism. So many options for a counter narrative and instead they choose to vote yes because they’re spineless dipshits.
BREAKING: The House of Representatives voted 285–98 in favor of a resolution condemning socialism.
Eighty-six Democrats joined Republicans in supporting the measure, including House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries.

If someone I admired was in the files, I easily fix that by no longer admiring them due to that fact. It's not complicated. Separating something good someone did from them being a dogshit human being is actually something I've done many times and it gets easier every time.
I was chuckling at that post saying we should be prepared for people we "admire" to be in the Epstein Files because it's definitely a you problem if you think politicians and money grubbing rich people and Silicon Valley creeps are worthy of admiration in the first place.
