Many octogenarians, even in my own extended family, have outlived my willingness to tolerate their racism, sexism, and homophobia.
“Oh, that’s just their generation” or my favorite “they grew up on a farm,” we say, excusing them.
I can’t do it anymore. Get current or expect my claws and fangs.

Unprepared, unserious, and completely unqualified. By every conceivable measure, team Trump has decimated American leadership on the world stage.
Trump envoy relied on Kremlin interpreter in meetings with Putin to end war in Ukraine
Using the Kremlin’s interpreter was “a very bad idea” that put Witkoff “at a real disadvantage,” Michael McFaul, a former U.S. ambassador to Russia, told NBC News.

“Due Process” is a bargained for exchange between a government and its citizenry: if you submit to our governance, we will guarantee Due Process.
The inverse is also logical and true: if the government will not honor/provide Due Process, the governed should not submit.
RESIST, however you can.

Let me say the quiet part out loud: Due Process is the bargained for exchange between a government and its citizenry: we will treat you fairly if you submit to our authority and do what we say.
No Due Process, no cooperation. No justice, no peace.

Hey, Donny, no Coloradan gives a fuck about your portrait in which you look portly.
You’re using your vanity and narcissism to come for Colorado? We’re tougher and you can’t handle the altitude.

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.
What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

Travel Tip: Don’t come to Colorado if the smell of marijuana offends you.
Let’s get something straight: the People of this beautiful state legalized recreational marijuana 10 years ago for use on own own property. If you don’t like it, don’t come here. Fuck right off . . .
