Mistletoe killing an oak,
Rats gnawing cables in two,
Moths making holes in a cloak,
How they must love what they do!

People who LOVE the AI image of Pope Trump?

I bet the Venn diagram has yuge overlap with people who FREAKED OUT over drag van Bijlert's "The Feast of the Gods" in Paris, because their Art Ed. is so incomplete that they naïvely thought the queens were mocking da Vinci's "The Last Supper."

If Trump & the GOP REALLY wanted to fight anti-Christian bias in USA, they would immediately repeal any EOs and laws that conflict with the tenets described in the Sermon on the Mount.

Yet they write laws and EOs every day that violate those tenets.

Reject #Newspeak!

US Constitution AMENDMENT XIV Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the State wherein they reside. No State shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any State deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

If at any time in your life, you swore an oath to support and defend the US Constitution, yet you later decided there is "any person" who is not entitled to due process and equal protection inside the jurisdiction of the USA, you are an oath breaker.

All of our Generals and Admirals should start tossing Goldberg MCSAs, DECSs, SCSAs, DPSAs, AEPSs, etc. like Pokémon for publicly exposing the threats to safety, security, and mission effectiveness that SecDef has been creating for them.

If getting rid of waste, fraud, and abuse were genuinely the goal, they would have kept the IGs, and hired a fleet of forensic accountants to find and correct the problems with as little disruption as possible.

It was never the goal.

USA was warned that big changes would be made, and it was going to hurt a lot before it got better.

People voted for Trump anyway.

I never would've guessed so many Americans are closet heavy subs.

They need to find a good dungeon, and stop forcing their kink on people who didn't consent.

There's nothing even vaguely conservative about Trump, Musk, their sycophants, or their MAGA apologists.

Real conservatives would have kept the IGs, and gone on a forensic accountant hiring spree, to find and cut waste, fraud, and abuse with as few errors and little disruption as possible.

Abby Libby - posted 3:18 PM 9/30/23 Conservative women have been fighting feminism, fighting abortion, and fighting for traditional values for years and making real progress only to have Right wing men turn on us in 2023, bitterly blaming *all* women for what's wrong in society. It's such an incredible betrayal.

OK, Serena Joy!

I think I'll try that out as a new shorthand.

It's faster than saying, "yes, I voted for the leopards eating people's faces party, but I didn't think the leopards were going to eat *my* face."

I'm reclaiming my labor. Don't know the ref? Google "Serena Joy".

Is that some sort of encoded instruction that we should all go panning for gold, because Trump is going to piss off so many countries that the dollar will be laughed at?

Oh good, just in time for the DOD to reinstate "MadMen" era hair and makeup policies! Should we assume a long retired Woman Marine will be teaching the classes?

Every time Trump announces some new cockamamie idea he never mentioned during the campaign, ASK REPUBLICAN CONGRESSCRITTERS how much it will cost AND how it helps fulfill campaign promises.

Force them to either BE Conservative, or publicly admit they're slaves to his dictatorial whims.

Is there a grad student somewhere doing a records survey on the % of times Trump announces the latest expensive idea that drifted through his skull, prior to any feasibility study to justify it?

How soon will he blame the bean counters for crushing his #GulfOfAmerica vanity plate dream?

In my First Aid class, I said something vaguely optimistic, and one of my classmates replied "oh you're one of those 'glass half full' people."

I replied "nope, I come from an engineering family; the glass is refillable."

If someone wishes you a Happy, etc. [name holiday you don't observe here], instead of getting mad, tell yourself they're wishing you a great day in their own language. If you know the reply for [named holiday], say it!

A veteran told me he "couldn't vote for that woman. She wants to shut down the VA."

I asked him if he'd read what Project 2025 will do to the VA.

He said he'd never heard of it, all he knows is "she wanted to privatize all of it."

He voted for the guy who actually wants that. 😞

I totally dated myself at OT the other day.

Me: every time he announces a new cabinet pick, it just feels more and more like Dick Tracy's Rogues' Gallery; no, that's wrong. It *FEELS* like he's nominating a bunch of Batman villains, but the line up looks like Dick Tracy's Rogues' Gallery.

VA app: in the last 7 days, have you felt unusually depressed, sad, or hopeless?

Vet: Yes.

Red Herring or not, good goat, the critiques on her past policies and actions are maddening, plus AFPI is downright terrifying. Looks like she is just as bad, just in different ways.

Screenshot of archived web link in post. Archive Today was used to allow users to read the Ten Pillars, yet also prevent driving any traffic to the America First Policy Institute.

What if Gaetz was just a Red Herring, so that moderate Republicans would be relieved by Trump nominating an experienced state AG? Pam Bondi is tied to the AFPI - Christofascist Nationalists.🚩

Fun facts! The US military has long been the VANGUARD of woke in America! • 12 June 1948 - Executive Order integrates women's auxiliaries into the Regular US military. • 26 July 1948 - Executive Order racially desegrates the US military. • 10 June 1963 - Equal Pay Act signed into law • 2 July 1964 - Civil Rights Act signed into law • 22 December 2010 - Don't Ask, Don't Tell Repeal Act signed into law • 29 November 2016 - DOD Directive 1350.2 (Military Equal Opportunity) updated to include transgender service members. • 15 June 2020 - SCOTUS rules LGBT employees are protected by Civil Rights Act of 1964. If you say that the US military was never woke before recent times, either you don't know real US military history, or you are intentionally lying.

Think the US military was never woke until recent years? Either you don't know real US military history, or you have chosen to ignore available facts.

We don't need to get rid of woke Generals. We need to get rid of politicians who refuse to accept real facts.

Cartoon: Wait a minute. Autism-spectrum people are over-represented in research science. But… But that means… My god… AUTISM CAUSES VACCINES.

RFK Jr. would like you to believe the opposite, but that's been debunked for years.

Get your vaxes, and refresh your critical thinking skills to vax your brain against highly inventive science writing.

As my OT told me: trying to use logic to understand people without it will only drive you crazy.

Executive dysfunction is giving way to small bouts of angry cleaning. I wish I could ask the Unwelcome Politicians to lift up their feet, because I need to vacuum.

In good news, I completely emptied the dishwasher less than 12 hours after running it.

I wish that weren't news.
