1/2) Part of me wants this guy to live long enough to face *some* kind of justice, comeuppance, or payback, because he's spent his life as a shameless, grasping, sneering, cheating, swaggering racist and misogynist shmuck.

Releasing the Epstein Files might provide that comeuppance. Maybe. I hope.

I'm 64 years old, walk nine miles a day, and my fitness watch tells me my cardiac health score is "Excellent" so yeah, I'm having a frosted chocolate Pop-Tart for first breakfast.

The kidz are amazing. Mostly we stand back and let them figure things out. We answer questions and interfere if something risky is about to happen. Which is very rare.

My previous dog had an excellent plush fox she doted on. Didn't once tear it up.

Had my first good cry after she died when I packed it away.

Afraid to let my new dog play with it.

I'd be happy if it happened today.

I'd be happier if he hung on just long enough for the Epstein Files to be released and ruin his rep.

He'll never face legal repercussions, but I relish the thought of MAGA shrunk and disillusioned, opportunists flee a sinking ship, ballroom donors reconsider.

A partially open white panel door with three small pale signs taped near the top reading "The", "Oval", and "Office" in gold script. Through the doorway a small bathroom is visible with light blue walls, a window with closed blinds, a double toilet-paper holder mounted beneath the window, and a white toilet seat at the lower right. The door's round dark metal knob is centered in the foreground.

This dumbfuck hot-head blathers about invading another country for prosecuting Christians when his corps of unaccountable bullies is harassing, beating, and imprisoning people in his own country, many if not most of whom are Christians.
Social media post by Donald J. Trump: @realDonald Trump If the Nigerian Government continues to allow the killing of Christians, the U.S.A. will immediately stop all aid and assistance to Nigeria, and may very well go into that now disgraced country, “guns-a-blazing,” to completely wipe out the Islamic Terrorists who are committing these horrible atrocities. | am hereby instructing our Department of War to prepare for possible action. If we attack, it will be fast, vicious, and sweet, just like the terrorist thugs attack our CHERISHED Christians!

Every race, in every election.

Do your homework ahead of time and make a foolproof game plan for election day, and vote ahead of time or by mail if at all possible.

Our country is being led by a monster, thanks to a minority of frightened ninnies and racists, and a sufficient number of lazy assholes who couldn't be bothered to vote.

I hope he dies soon. Of natural causes, preferably in public view.

"How to Be a Good Citizen of a Bad Country"
Opinion by By M. Gessen

Gift link: www.nytimes.com/2025/11/03/o...
When your country pursues abhorrent policies, when the face it turns to the world is the face of a monster, what does that say about you? In my experience, it is strikingly easy to shrug off one’s responsibility for the country where one pays taxes, contributes to the public conversation and, at least nominally, has the right to vote, if that country is the United States. It seems one can just say “Not in my name” and continue to enjoy the wealth and the freedom of movement one’s citizenship confers. But as this country builds more cages for immigrants, deploys military force against civilians in city after city, regularly commits murder in the high seas and systematically destroys its own democratic institutions, that may change. It should change. What does one do then? How can one be a good citizen of a bad state? Dekel was trying to shift some of the responsibility for his own actions — his own resistance, which he felt was insufficient — onto unnamed others, and in doing so he was telling an important truth about resistance in general. Seeing other people act makes it less frightening to join in protest. Even more important is an unspoken principle my conversations with these Israelis reminded me of: To be a good citizen of a bad state, one has to do scary things. It may be writing an op-ed calling for your own country’s isolation, as Sfard did, knowing that it would cost him friendships and get him branded a traitor. It may be using your body to shield someone more vulnerable, as Greenberg does. It may be withdrawing your economic cooperation. It is weighing leaving against staying, moral obligation against fear, flying under the radar against taking a risk — and opting for the risk.
