I thought getting 2 likes on here was pisspoor, until I went back on X and started questioning Trump..๐Ÿ˜‚

Iโ€™ve always expected there to be the silent shitheads. But the high volume stupidity on display in these United States is like watching drowning people refuse a life raft because they donโ€™t like the color.

There seems to be a choice right now between :-

- honour

- silence

- acceptance

- lies

Where are YOU ?

Murphy on Bovino: "That was a bone-chilling interview. I was shaking while I was listening to it, in large part bc it takes just an unbelievable amount of gall to lie to the American public. Everybody saw that video ... it should freak the public out that the Trump administration lies this easily"

I need to spend more time here, after 2 weeks of using X.

Too many liars, covering up for Trump, for the murders of his regime.

Covering up his lies.

Too many stand silent, unwilling to upset their friends.

Too many, sucking up to Musk.

I'm sick of the complicity, the untruths, the fakery.

I've bobbed over from Twitter (X, if we absolutely must) and I can't see any racism, religious bigotry, homophobia, transphobia, MAGA supporters, UK Trump appeasers, here.

I may set up camp here. All welcome.

There's clearly something exciting in Nuneaton, that we aren't being told about.

I feel a conspiracy theory coming on.

George Harrison at his home, Friar Park in Henley-on-Thames, England, in 1975. 

He is wrapped in a Hare Krishna shawl which has the mantra "Hare Rama" and the Om symbol printed on it. 

This reflects his long-standing devotion to Hinduism and transcendental meditation.

Bathroom pull light has broken after 20+ years.

Ordered a replacement online and it's now delayed, due to Amazon having transport issues, given the weather.

Currently, evening trips to bathroom involve candles and it's all a bit Bram Stoker.

The difference is that on X, JD Vance gets virtual blowies from his mentally ill disciples.

On Bluesky, he's sent packing.

There's the gap.

After 2 days in the scum-riddled rancid shitpit that is X, arguing with Tommy Robinson etc about the state murder of Renee Nicole Good, I think I need some time on Bluesky to sanitise my brain.

Some may joke about this place, but at least JD Vance isn't here.
