Trump/GOP/MAGA:
We love children so much! That’s why we force & harm women to give birth against their will, to protect children!

Also Trump/GOP/MAGA:
The children can starve! We want more money! Our greed is waaay more important than giving children the food they need & we’ll fight them for it!

Word of the day: sanguivorous
An adjective, meaning “feeding on blood”.

Have a safe & Happy Halloween!

Although they may seem gruesome, the Vampire Ground-Finch’s taste for blood is actually a clever adaptation to its arid environment.

I couldn’t help but watch this movie through the prism of Trump & all his people who are in every position of importance. Even if our best, brightest & most courageous were in charge, any situation remotely similar to a nuclear attack would be beyond dire. Now? We would all be completely fucked.

Interesting this quote is from Federalist Paper #47.

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive & judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, & whether hereditary, selfappointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
~James Madison

The January 6 domestic terrorist insurrectionists called to action by President Trump injured 174 police officers. Four officers who responded to the attack died by suicide within 7 months and one police officer died of a stroke the day after being assaulted by the rioters. Trump pardoned them all.
