Screenshot of a tweet from Dean Browning, a very white straight man, forgetting to switch to his burner account and saying, "I'm a black gay guy and I can personally say that Obama did nothing for me, my life only changed a little bit and it was for the worse. Everything is so much beer under Trump though. I feel respected - which I never do when democrats are involved."

It wasn't about a dog.
Picture from Frasier of Gunter, a German fencing instructor, holding Niles at foil-point, while Frasier translates (from Spanish), "He says, 'He didn't steal your shoes.'" Frasier had mixed up the Spanish word for 'spouse' with the word for 'shoes' when translating to Spanish, so Marta could translate from Spanish to German, which she learned while working for a German family in Argentina "after the war."

Headline: WATCH: Trump used 'fight' or 'fighting' 20 times in really speech, Dean says From the politics section on February 10, 2021 Excerpt of the article under the headline from the last photo. But Dean said that [Trump's mention of peaceful protest] was a "few seconds" in a nearly 11,000-word speech and that it was the "only time President Trump used the word peaceful or any suggestion of nonviolence." She said that wasn't the overarching message. She said, "President Trump used the word 'fight' or 'fighting' 20 times, including telling the crowd they needed to 'fight like hell.'"

It's the bare minimum, Trump didn't do it, tried to overthrow the government, and MAGA still put him back in charge.

This seems like a ploy to get pictures of dogs.

I am happy to oblige.
