I'll eventually learn to like snow -- won't I?

They're not really "centrists": they're right-wing Democrats who are beholden to corporate interests and maintaining the status quo.

There is no mainstream center, let alone left-wing party in the U.S. The U.S. Democratic Party is equivalent to a conservative party in Europe.

"Goddamnit, Justin Trudeau -- if you're and your state are not going to submit to my Divine Will, then the USA will invade your state and we'll make someone ELSE Governor of Canada! IS THAT WHAT YOU WANT, JUSTIN?"

- Donold Trump, President of the United States and Almighty Ruler of the Universe

Doesn't Gaetz look like an evangelical Protestant televangelist?

And he has the MORALS of an evangelical Protestant televangelist, to boot!

Like Genesis 19:30-38.

"Righteous" Lot wasn't so "righteous", after all...

I ❤️ this!!!

I’m putting our outdoor crèche in a barbed wire cage this year as a protest to Trump’s deportation policies.

Thank you for posting this. Summer is my favorite season of the year.

Dear God:

America asked for Barabbas, so you gave us Barabbas.

Since the election, I’ve stopped praying. I don’t go to Communion. I have given up on humanity.

i get the feeling You have washed Your hands of us and You are leaving us all to fend for ourselves.

Is this the case?

I don’t like talking on the phone, anyway. It makes me cough. (That happens with IPF.)

Because Nothing Connotes The Joy of Christmas Morning Like A Shirt Which Basically Says, "F*ck Your Snowflake Feelings, Liberal Loser."

Yours for only $100/shirt. Get 'em while supplies last, and Own The Lib In YOUR Family!

Grifters. Gotta. Grift.

I cannot even STAND to look at Trump's face!

Correction: Democrats, liberals, progressives and socialists, as well as rational people should not drink raw milk.

"Q"-balls, Republiqans, Christian Nationalists and Trump supporters -- DRINK YOUR FILL OF RAW MILK.

Trump won the election by the smallest amount of votes since Bush vs. Gore. Republiqans hold the U.S. House of Representatives by the smallest of majorities. This is not a "mandate", dear: Republiqans have shown us time and time again that YOU CANNOT GOVERN.

To me, it feels like God has given up on us, washed His hands of us, and is leaving us to our own devices.

I am (or perhaps *was*) a person of faith. Since the election I have not prayed; I have stopped attending services. I'm not celebrating Christmas this year. Seriously: what's to celebrate?

I have stopped praying. I have stopped attending services. I'm not celebrating Advent or Christmas this year -- and I may not do so for the next four years.

It’s rather soul-satisfying to watch, isn’t it?!

The Dems put ZERO $ into funding Kamala Harris in my state (Indiana). They did not back any of the Dem candidates for state offices. In very close elections, Dems did not request recounts. Guess what? Christian Nationalists have taken all the state offices. The Dems are weak as water.

I ended a 50-year friendship this week over Donald Trump. I LOATHE Trump. My (ex) friend stated I had “Trump Derangement Syndrome”, and like it or not Trump was the President, and to get used to it. Unfriended and blocked.

We get it, Charlie Kirk. Whenever a Democrat wins ANY election, from President all the way down to precinct clerk or dogcatcher -- Democrats MUST have cheated because that's the ONLY way a Democrat can win an election, EVER.

BTW I loved reading your commentary when I was on the now-appropriately-named "X". You were almost always spot-on. Glad I can read it again! ☺️

I'm done with the DNC. I will maintain my voter registration and continue to vote, but in LOCAL AND COUNTY ELECTIONS ONLY. The DNC didn't invest so much as ONE DOLLAR in my state, and the Democratic candidates who did run were all self-funded. I saw exactly ONE Harris commercial in three months.

Don't forget that it was Republicans who crucified Bill Clinton's health care plan for Americans back in 1993 - the same health care plan that Obama came up with WHICH REPUBLICANS INITIALLY PROPOSED.

Republicans are for something -- until they're AGAINST it because someone else used their idea.

I've been here three days and already had a vastly more positive experience than I did on the appropriately-named "X".

I'll bet a million billion trillion bazillion brillion gazillion grillion jillion killion stillion tillion villion zillion googolplex infinity people are going to attend your inauguration, the MOST EVER in the history of the WHOLE UNIVERSE!

Donold Trump has sent me an email offering FREE INAUGURATION TICKETS, so long as I'm willing to make *A $3000 CONTRIBUTION* to his inauguration.

Gosh, Donold -- thank you from the bottom of my heart. It means so much that you're thinking of me. 🤬

After the limitless puke of "X", it's so refreshing to see all the actual SCIENCE and ASTRONOMY on Bluesky!

I remember that feeling from my organic chemistry exams.

I could concentrate on practicing the piano after passing an organic chemistry exam. (I was a music major working towards a Performer's Certificate, which meant I played a full recital each semester. I took Organic Chemistry as an elective.)

New to Bluesky.

I'm sure hoping this is an improvement over FaceBook, which is quickly becoming un-usable.

Anyone into tornadoes?
