Holy fuck! Showing ZERO fear of retribution from a vengeance-obsessed TRAITOR who attempted to overturn the 2020 presidential election, usurp the constitution, and overthrow the U.S. government, Jack Smith, with ZERO fucks left to give is what a badass American hero looks like.

Do you have any idea how difficult it is to cook a meal when your dominant hand shakes like one of those automatic paint mixers?

Cry harder about ruining an American institution we used to be proud of, you stupid quisling bitch.

There was a lot of bad shit that happened during those two years, but they were really good for me. Although neither an engineer nor scientist, I was ensconced amongst engineers and scientists, working on the space shuttle main engine program. It truly was a dream job. So yeah, I’ll take either one.

It’s hard to believe that one man can cause so much stress, so much fear, so much pain and suffering…a man who took an oath to preserve and protect our Constitution. This man, who is inciting terror across our land, must be removed from office. In a sane world, it would happen immediately.

When a major media outlet openly capitulates to the political agenda of the executive branch, they are no longer part of the fourth estate.
They are state-run media.
Add Bari Weiss and CBS to the list of those who have betrayed our Republic.

My wife isn't on Bluesky, but I want to share her watercolor work now and again. She's very unsure of her ability, but I think she's really talented.

I'm an atheist, former Jew, but I have no doubt I could easily live in harmony with Christians like James Talarico.
James Talarico: The Bible doesn't mention abortion or gay marriage, but it goes on and on about forgiving debt, liberating the poor, and healing the sick. The closest thing we have to the kingdom of heaven is a multiracial, multicultural democracy where power is truly shared among all people

In honor of the solstice. Unfortunately, unlike the first verse winter is only beginning. However, after today, the days will be getting longer. That makes me happy.

Have you ever heard someone go off, and their words are so perfectly chosen, so well said in that moment, that you’re in awe? You think, “There’s nothing to add here,” and you applaud in your head.
That’s exactly this. Pure perfection. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

If evidence has been destroyed, juries are instructed that they can assume that evidence would have shown the defendant's guilt.
The Trump administration releasing only a portion of the Epstein files, and blacking out so much text in the files they did release, is clear evidence of Trump's guilt.
