Political normie who likes history, animals, old houses, and wine. I change my opinions as facts change, like a normal person. Trying not to be so foul mouthed but it’s hard, y’all. From the south but New England is home.
I have never in my life felt so much hatred and rage towards certain politicians and I don’t quite know how to process that.

JUST IN: Another medical horror story in an affidavit from a USAID employee stationed overseas. Says his pregnant wife was not medevac-ed for emergency health care because of directives from DC. Took intervention of a U.S. senator to reverse — but was too late. s3.documentcloud.org/documents/25...

Sergeant Gonell @sergeantaqgo.bsky.social sent me this picture. This is his call log. Each call is an automated Dept of "Justice" notification saying "The defendant you testified against is being released from the dept of corrections."
Each defendant assaulted him.

Democrats pearl-clutching like we have a normal and honest incoming president—who won’t weaponize the justice system to unfairly target the son of a former president—are part of the problem.

Woodward's book about Biden shows what "liberal media" did not make objectively clear! Biden is a transformational President, a visionary on a mission to improve the public good, with enough respect from former Senate colleagues to pass legislation that rescued working schmucks who voted for Trump!
Bob Woodward is one of America's greatest journalists whose career was born in the bile of nefarious dealings by the White House.
He's as skeptical as a journalist can be because he knows that what the White House hides is monstrous.
Only Joe Biden could make him report THIS:

Currently, Trump shocks us by picking the worst people for government jobs.
Let’s not normalize; let’s not panic either. Senators, please vet them hard and reject the worst ones.

It's no accident that Congress shows up first in our Constitution, ahead of the President. People need to remember that as the Executive Branch plans its dirty work with Project 2025.

I had a dream last night that I was backstage with @hozier.bsky.social and we were talking about our moms and what they said was our first words when we were babies. Also, my cat showed up and Hozier thought she was really cool even though she’s spicy. 😆

Absolutely THIS.
Could not agree with this more. Do not give in to the malignant normality no matter how many others accept it.
Remember this. We are weaker now. “Trump has groomed us.” Try to hold and speak and advocate what you know is right and true. We’ve already moved so far. Don’t change your standards to accommodate their shameless incompetence & cruelty.
