Just got blocked by a woman I had admired and followed. My crime, after her direct open post of how misandry is fun and being so openly so is awesome, I called out the blatant hypocrisy of this.

So Maura, you are no better than Trump apparently. @bsky.app why do you let blatant hate speech on here?

If we don’t view, read or talk about the Epstein Files, Trump is going to give you a barrel of crude oil from Venezuela.

We then take that and go to Walmart and negotiate our health insurance costs. Win/win baby.

Trump start to doze off and then jerks awake

When Trump declares war on Venezuela, because our own oligarchs want their oil back; how long after the crying and shame before we can be sarcastic?

Pretty hard for me to disentangle the light touch approach we take to conservative right-wing violence and the makeup of the police force that is allegedly task with squashing that violence.

One thing I’m sure social media has done. It has shown just how mainstream media is vapid, fail basic morality forks in the road and are so arrogantly ignorant.

Media is always two steps behind and easily manipulated. All the while they think they are positive they know more and are 2 steps ahead.

Why does the Middle East have such religious violence throughout the centuries?

It’s the same as this. The feeling of no hope and no control. It incubates the human weakness of having to feel they’re better than others.

I think both sides would have not even bet $1 on this. Doesn’t mean Clinton didn’t partake in Epstein’s sex trafficking elsewhere.
