Citizens gunned down in cold blood? Fascist judges disenfranchising POC? Gas up 50% because DJT circumvented Congress to support Bibi's territorial ambitions? The King of England expressing concern about the state of democracy in the US right before our sesquicentennial? George would not be amused

photographed this in 2023 with the intention of posting it, but my better self won out. I strive to get along with others. I value positive vibes. But the state execution of VA ICU nurse Alex Pretti has rendered the kumbaya in my soul inappropriate at best, if not downright morally suspect.

Basic math (even for Trumpanzees): *Only 1 in 10,000 have serious adverse reactions to the COVID vaccine * The vaccinated are 74% less likely to die from COVID * COVID death rates in beet red counties have been 2-6X the rate of deaths in the bluest counties courtesy of @conormcl2025.bsky.social

"If a brother or sister is poorly clothed and lacking in daily food, and one of you says to them, 'Go in peace, be warmed and filled,' without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that? So also faith by itself, if it does not have works, is dead." -James 2:15-17

Welcome to the United States of the Irony-Impaired, where the staggeringly corrupt a$$hole at the top of this list based his first campaign on the assertion that his opponent was 'crooked' while he was a straight shooter who was too wealthy to be corrupted by The Swamp You can't fix stupid.

Careerist media charlatans (from elite backgrounds) love to paint Dems as 'out of touch' with 'real Americans,' even though Dems are the ONLY party who represents real Americans' interests. The blame for Trump? It's the bigotry & political illiteracy, stupid. www.rawstory.com/donald-trump...

Don't blame Dems for Trump

As soon as it became clear that Donald Trump would win the 2024 election, I braced myself for an onslaught of bad-faith, blame-Democrats-first narratives — from Kamala Harris supporters.Despite the se...

Remember when Combover Caligula told us multiple times that COVID will 'go away by the summer' of 2020 (as the first of 1.4 million Americans were dying from it) and was such a narcissistic fool that he insisted on leading daily briefings about complex scientific subjects he had 0 understanding of?

...and the dopes who take Fox at face value wouldn't blink, even as they sat in front of the idiot box with their church clothes on* See: Sunday--the most hypocritical day of the week for RW evangelicals (*if they actually bothered to maintain the charade that they were 'practicing Christians')
