Proof there is no God.
The best Pope of my lifetime dies, but evil, sociopathic, sadistic fucks like Trump, Vance, and Musk still walk the earth, wreaking havoc on hundreds of millions of innocents, paying no price, ever.

There are only so many ways to say "dumb as fuck", without losing your mind over how many of these people we all have to live with.

Hey new Tesla owners, if we see you driving with temporary plates on your recently purchased car, we must assume that you are a misogynistic, racist, homophobic, transphobic, fascist Nazi. Because nothing else logically makes sense. Enjoy all the scorn you get from decent people in your town.

Elon Musk believes empathy is the "fundamental weakness" of Western civilization In the least surprising news of the day... Elon Musk, the world's richest man, believes "the fundamental weakness of Western civilization is empathy." Yes, Musk actually said that last week on Joe Rog...

Trump, Musk, and virtually all the uber-capitalists are now proudly and loudly sociopathic. Truly horrible human beings.

What a traitorous embarrassment the Republican Party has become, from top to bottom. I'm no fan of Reagan, but he must be rolling over in his grave right now.

So was today the most embarrassing foreign policy / international relations day in the history of the United States?

Putin's orange lap dog never seemed more like a Russian agent than he did today, with JD Vance going along for the ride and assisting him with the boot-licking and ass-kissing.

Trump has issued an executive order requiring that the following songs referring to the "Gulf of Mexico" must be re-recorded:
The Band - Up on Cripple Creek
Pink Houses - John Mellencamp
Grateful Dead - Standing on the Moon
Kid Rock and Ted Nugent will record the new versions

It's time again for a giant F YOU to any of my liberal / lefty / progressive friends who couldn't bring themselves to vote for Kamala because of your opposition to "Genocide Joe" and his policies. We knew this would happen with Trump. EVERYONE knew this would happen with Trump. You are morons.

As every business leader in America cowers in fear to an ignorant, depraved, racist pig.

We are a sickening, cowardly nation.

I'm gonna complain, I moved here 28 years ago and didn't get any of those things!
Although... I did buy a used Subaru a couple months ago. And we do have a 10 1/2 year-old Golden Retriever. And I have a 24 year-old crappy bike in my garage. πŸ˜„

Walking with Maggie the #GoldenRetriever provides desperately needed moments of sanity and joy during the ongoing fascist takeover of America.

Pleased to meet you
Hope you guess my name
But what's puzzlin' you
Is the nature of my game

Just as every cop is a criminal
And all the sinners saints
As heads is tails, just call me Lucifer
'Cause I'm in need of some restraint...

I'd say Putin still beats him as the worst person currently alive. But I don't know anyone else out there who comes close.
