It's almost as if We The People voted to reject fascism, bigotry, oligarchy, and corruption. I can't imagine why my Republican friends are so upset! #BlueWave #Resist #SkiesOfBlue

You OK? Did you mean to post this from a different account?

In a metaphorical sense, I'm in agreement. Otherwise, it's a no for me.

What Have We Become? One of the songs I learned and sang with gusto at summer camp as a young person was β€˜One Tin Soldier’. I’ll share a link here and would invite the reader to listen to it and read …

Text of the Gettysburg Address

Text of the Gettysburg Address

6 days have passed since a divisive far-right activist and speaker died from a gunshot wound. Since that day it would seem there are those who consider him a martyr whose life was taken for speaking the truth. I, for one, would rather honor someone whose actions and words supported freedom for all.

I'm at a loss for words. Hate begets hate. Discrimination begets discrimination. Violence begets violence. Unless we break these vicious, seemingly self-perpetuating cycles with empathy, compassion, kindness, patience, and understanding, we will continue to reap what we sow.

Ooh! I know! Mitch McConnell, John Roberts ... it's a rather extensive list.

So let me get this straight. The one with the miniscule πŸ† is sending the military into D.C. all because Big πŸ€βšΎβš½πŸ₯Ž got the πŸ’© kicked out of him? Or is this just another attempt to distract from the fact that his name is all over the Nietspe files?

Might have something to do with the Orange One's failure to actually touch the Bible while taking the oath of office this time around. Nothing is coincidental about this man or his administration.

So after what seems to be an inevitable pardon, I'm assuming Ms. Maxwell will pass away and the official cause of de@+h will be inconsistent with the actual means by which she is unalived.

TBH she is a bit of a ghoul. It's a fitting moniker.

The word homosexual never appeared in any translation of the Bible until 1946 How a translational error has cost the lives of millions all over the world

If not for the folly of a single word translated poorly nearly 80 years ago...

It would seem our entire legislative branch, or at least the GOP members of it, have developed the Chicken Flu, similar to the affliction TACO that had plagued POTUS in recent months.

Holy. Fucking. Shit. All this happened while the Felonious Chump and his minions were ranting about rampant voter fraud in favor of the Radical Left.
