“…like, the 8th time”.

You swear to [double checks note] *eight* times? In your town where you are *very* well known by (at least) LEOs?

Recall MTG’s “I don’t recall” testimony when under oath.

Color me “It’s bullshit!” at after three times…

The Puget Sound region topology is just… magical…

I dunno, God. Your son said something about “loving thine enemy as thine self”. He was no squish, either. Righteous and brave son-of-a-virgin…

And, we still wonder how became so reliant on the fossil fuel industry…

Believe me, I am extremely wary of any pronouncements she now makes. Hell, I’m even more suspect of them as she tries to walk her fraying political tightrope…

You won’t get an argument from me there, amigo. There are humans out there who are more deserving of our moral defense and support.

And, she’ll need to come to terms with her heinous past.

I’d only offer, as an example, the life of Sen. Robert Byrd. F***ing KKK leader turned civil rights champion…

Agreed. She knowingly aided in furthering this truly dark stain in U.S. history. Booo.

Let’s just say I hold out hope that, by offering “loving thine enemy as thyself”, she will see that kindness, compassion, and mercy are strengths.

I am an idealistic fool but, boy howdy- if she changed stripes?!

I can’t, in my conscience, allow the mob to violently dictate another’s actions, regardless of their past.

Feel the same way about Kirk. Awful moral compass. He knew he hurt others. (Was not even a public servant.)

That is the road we are taking, though, if we do not, as a society, say “enough”…

Respectfully, this is not just a bad spell for my beloved country or the world, at large. The damage will take heavy tolls on our kids and our grandkids. The malevolent echoes, administrative rot, and *moral failures* are that deep…

I think we all need to take a step back and recognize the insane amount of scandals and illegalities (since 2015 alone, never mind his pre-2015 private citizen crimes) that have yet to be fully answered and concluded.

It truly is staggering.

“Flood the zone” really was a brilliant (evil) strategy…

Here’s the thing:
1. Given her previous fabrications, do we believe her? And;
2. 99% sure it is FOTUS MAGA goons, if true.

Note: NO public official should be physically/mortally threatened. Full stop. Is MTG a boorish person? Yes, yes she is. But, I will don armor to fight her bullies, regardless…

Howdy, Carla… 🤠

A collaborating songwriter friend of mine turned me onto Sierra. What a voice and personal story…

I’ll never rest easy on this one. My eyes and experience tell me something(s) was never right.

When SS: 1. paused and paused to let him get his shoe(?!) 2. Blood nowhere on his hair, jacket, and shirt. 3. The miracle ear.

Remember the two times SS actually whisked him away? He was scared shitless.

The only moral judgement pass I will ever give to FOTUS is if he gave Bubba a blowy.

If he did, good on him. A consenting adult pleasuring another consenting adult. Carry on, gentleman.

Now, the fact that they were married!?

Oh, man! The press missed a golden opportunity to ask, “Do you think one is dumber than the other and, if so, who and why?” 😂

Salt on the wound…

Worst covering of a real time cover-up so blatantly and obviously being covered with everything they say and do in -did I mention- *real time*. Ever…

Who’s “He”? Because, there are a *lot* of dudes c***blocking this. Shoot, I’m pretty convinced that nation states are also involved…

Sweet Jeebus.

SO many people in positions of top tier power that are tied to this and, yet, somehow NOBODY is coming forward.

My first almost immediate thought is that they simply don’t want to be Epsteined… ☠️

Yacht Rock rules, Jenny.

Have you seen the insanely funny original YouTube series (that kinda started it all for me)?

Swear to the baby Jeebus-

I think the people responsible get off on letters of moral clarity like this. They revel in the declarative cruelty witnessed and typed out. Entreaties to a better humanity like this are treated as scalps to be raised aloft…

[rubs hands in glee]

I mean, sure- he is likely to have croaked by the time they charge him, but it’s still a delicious thought that Biden foresaw FOTUS’ downfall and signed this bill into law for the Epstein horrors.

Also, some kind of revenge eat s*** law to FOTUS for f***ing with Hunter…

That is something that we could only rely upon history to divine an answer. Do you see any parallels with our current political climate and another historical society or nation?

imo, it will worsen. Not one institution is capable of staunching this spurting wound.

SCOTUS. When Vance takes over, watch Alito and Thomas retire. Crazy replaced with craziest.

And, Congress? Neutered. I mean, completely. They have abdicated any of their Powers and oversight functions…

Dear Jesus- just reflecting on this.

Like, from a personally vain and selfish vantage, wouldn’t seeing “your” 🤢 slaves freed by your own hand have been an almost cathartic Enlightenment Age experience? It’s still f***ed up no matter how you slice it, but we are talking the 1800s…

The price of gaslighting is still astronomically expensive…

Right?! HoF is richly deserved, too…
