Someone’s toddler at my synagogue (which rents space in a church) was making paper cutouts of the cross because he wanted to make the cool plus sign from synagogue

The crazy thing is this is trump country! Even under “friend enemy” politics or whatever rural fishery owners are the friend! Andy harris reps the eastern shore! And trumps denying disaster aid to western MD. it’s makes no sense, suicidal insanity

“What happened” is an answerable question. “But come on, that can’t be right, what really happened?” isn’t

An example of how Trump is a vehicle for grievances because everyone driven by resentment projects onto him. A leftist like AOC feels America is beautiful and wants to improve it. A crank leftist likes the idea of destroying America, but is totally powerless, therefore they approve of Trump doing it

America is their dad (Obama) and their dad has disappointed them by not fixing everything

Magnifique as they say in German!

Editor: did you make that anti-Semitic cartoon yet?
Artist: sure did boss, real fuckin sexy just like you asked
Editor: what

Obviously this is horrible but “Le Talmud” is so funny plus the biblical tablets incongruously mislabeled Talmud

Trump is clearly a type of guy if you read about Andrew Johnson or the Kaiser but very rare they have the charisma or luck to rise to power

It’s true in a narrow sense that one phone call is more impactful than one post, but most people don’t know their reps and don’t read the news. One post to Facebook maybe means 100 of your friends see news info that otherwise they missed

It’s coming years too late but there will be a point where impeachment flips from “if you impeach, your career is dead and all your neighbors back home will burn your house down“ to “if we kick him out fast enough, everyone will instantly forget he existed and won’t notice us for impeaching”

Purim is cookies, sugar, fruit, syrup. Hanukah is about piping hot food right out of the fire in freezing weather

Sorry, character limits. She has agency- and she’s also weird and racist in her own right. A normal “policy deputy chief of staff” does policy, does not get into a boundary blurring relationship with both his wife and the president’s advisor and have it play out in public

something unique about Trump that’s a separate phenomenon from populism is he attracts *emotionally disturbed* people. Obama’s deputy chief was a foreign service officer. W Bush’s deputy chief did policy for Facebook. Trump’s deputy chief lost his wife to Elon musk

Every Biden official was like an MPA policy staffer. Every trump official can only be described in literary terms like Iago or Dorian gray or Ahab, a pathological insecure person driven by extreme emotions like shame and rage who destroys themselves and everyone around them

there is simply something uncanny and pathetic about the Trump era bsky.app/profile/gold...

Turning k2so to a rebel by training him on Mon mothma speeches

They’re full of hate! All those 90s PSAs and Harry Potter and Star Wars etc were simply correct, hate is bad, hate makes you stupid and evil. “Cancel TPS for all afghans and haitians” isnt a policy, it’s hatred written down on paper. Policy has rhyme and reason to it
