Geologist, crafter, episcopalian, beer/mead/wine enthusiast, & perpetually single weirdo. Sorry, I've stopped responding to DM's, since I was getting too many scammers

Though, it does happen, but it's usually by other white men (i.e., Ireland & England, Jews & the Inquisitions, Poland & the rest of Europe, etc.) Bigotry isn't just about skin color, it's ignorance, greed, & insecurity, too.

But consuming entitlement.

"Highway to Hell" might be more fitting.

I think that is the only requirement these days.

Though "Star-Spangled Banner" started out life as a drinking song.

Personally speaking, that happens just seeing a picture of him.

The bird or the priest? Because this could work for both.

Hadn't thought about that. It's probably also how they wound up as conservatives.

The rainbow birthday train could be fun & impressive. They could be dressed up as the engine, & then have toy trucks or other rolling toys made to look like carriages or presents trailing behind them on a rope.

Oh, absolutely. I doubt anyone's liked him, much less respected him, in his entire life.

Cassy Nickle (she/her) @cassynickle.bsky.social · 2d

Yep. With second breakfasts, elevensies, & afternoon teas thrown in.

Needs a comma or semicolon after the first line, but otherwise, flawless!

I doubt that last part. They'll try to take over his grifts & his cult, which means they'll keep acting like he's the greatest man to ever live.

Cassy Nickle (she/her) @cassynickle.bsky.social · 3d

Kinky.

The only reason I don't believe the Russians on this is that I don't think Trump would have been able to keep it a secret. He would have been bragging about it by now. That's the *only* reason I don't believe it.

if someone tells you founding era judges didn’t have a role in adjudicating military affairs, what they’re actually telling you is they don’t know anything about the 18th century

"If President Trump were, in other words, trying to instigate some kind of national divorce, it is hard to imagine what he would be doing differently than this."

Statement from Illinois Governor JB Pritzker

This evening, President Trump is ordering 400 members of the Texas National Guard for deployments to Illinois, Oregon, and other locations within the United States. No officials from the federal government called me directly to discuss or coordinate.
We must now start calling this what it is: Trump's Invasion. It started with federal agents, it will soon include deploying federalized members of the Illinois National Guard against our wishes, and it will now involve sending in another state's military troops.
I call on Governor Abbott to immediately withdraw any support for this decision and refuse to coordinate. There is no reason a President should send military troops into a sovereign state without their knowledge, consent, or cooperation.
The brave men and women who serve in our national guards must not be used as political props. This is a moment where every American must speak up and help stop this madness.
