Never a fan of Bernie as POTUS, but I’m in love with the idea of Bernie as Senate Dem Leader - if he’d rejoin the party again.

Something I’ve been saying a lot recently: the churches have become “The World” they warned us about - bc now greed & immorality are its virtues & empathy and good & selfless works are now sins.
It’s why 2 Tim 2:15 is a verse to live by - churches & licentious preachers will mess your life up.

I didn’t post it on Zuck’s app, but I just had an aneurysm on my aorta removed.
PSA: if you smoked, binge drank, and/or have family history of aortic aneurysms, go get checked. Better to remove it now than to EMTs can get to you quickly if it bursts. (Mine was elective - not emergency.)

Dunno why conservative and Ammosexuals want to live in a society where that - a Charlie Kirk - could happen to them. Not a single good guy with a gun found the skilled guy with a sniper rifle - including Utah police.

I think my fave thing about Star Trek SNW and Celia Rose Gooding as Uhura is we’re finally getting to see who Uhura was since TOS and the movies never gave Nichelle Nichols’ Uhura a spotlight outside the mission.

The choices were a felon white supremacist promising to destroy everything, or the Black Lady who wasn’t.
White people chose destruction.
Meaning the default stance of white swing voters is pick “harm” unless convinced not to.
Dunno why you’re dissecting her campaign instead of focusing on that

Since he ended up quitting anyway, the options are:
1) He shouldn't have quit.
2) He quit at the right time.
3) He should have quit earlier.
1 is deranged nonsense that only Joe and Jill believe, 2 is arguable (blame Kamala, shoulda run a better campaign), 3 is correct.

Thank you for this - I’m watching the CBC on @plex.tv and wondered if these numbers were total votes counted so far or if each riding had populations under 500 people.
If the CBC shows me one more riding with *literally 11 votes counted* and spends 45-seconds discussing the early returns as showing a possible flip, my head is going to explode.

When you see things like this, and remember how underfunded schools with POC populations are vs how much better-funded non-POC schools are, the truth is America really failed everyone - but especially those who became “conservatives”.

It’s just amazing to me that not a single person in this administration figured that, after his China trade war during the first, China might’ve figured out how to withstand and fight back if he tried it again.
