I agree, much sadder than I could have ever imagined.
The normalization of sexual abuse is apparent, reminds of of a child playing peek a boo, if you do not see it, it does not exist.
This coupled with the acceptance of pedophilia and nary a peep from the religious right who seem to be complicit.

This is what is happening in Portland.. "Love is in the air" by Banksy..

For Trump and his cabal it is and always will be about the $$$$$.
America be damned as they continue to lie, steal, cheat and grift their way through their time in office.. they don't give a rats ass about any of us.

These women bare their souls after discussing the sexual violence perpetrated by Trump. Their comments are dismissed and are labeled opportunists, paid Dem operatives, liars etc.
What is wrong with all those who deny these claims as he has been bragging about his predatory behavior since the 90's??

In cases like this have to wonder how much of that quid pro quo ($$$$) is gonna flow back to Trump and his cabal's coffers...
This administration does not do something unless kickbacks are involved..

The whole attack on ANTIFA by the MAGA world is a Quixotian effort to distract us from things like the Epstein Files etc.
If and when they decide to attack the headquarters of ANTIFA let me know, should be great TV viewing..
Meanwhile the 1k+ folks who stormed the Capitol are running around free.

His standards of truth; "some guy told me" or "I saw it on Fox News"....
Research is not a strong point for Trump..

All of this is by design and conceived in the bowels of the Heritage Foundation..
This will eventually lead to martial law in America and the cancellation of next year's mid term elections..

Unfortunately this will be viewed as a suggestion to the ICE jack booted thugs and they will do as they please..
Remember when the GOP used to herald themselves as the "Party of Law and Order" or the advocates of "States Rights"??
I do it seems like yesterday..

Remember that plane that Qatar "gave" him, this is just more quid pro quo that Trump is famous for..

These MAGA troglodytes care little about our right to assembly and free speech, they try to capitalize on the hysteria they try to create by controlling the narrative...
Soon to come Soros will be paying us to hit the streets next Sunday...

There seems to be some confusion that the Nobel Peace Prize is a popularity contest... never seemed to be that considering all of the winners that we have witnessed over the years..

This is Trump's wet dream..

Have seen his story before, he would be a great choice..
I am 78, can say that folks our age have no business in running this country...

I will be out there with a new sign, wife cannot make it hip surgery, but bringing two friends..
My new sign will look something like this..

The MAGA world thinks you can just trust manufacturing plants and they do not need oversight or inspections..
They will always do what is best, or so they say..

Gene47 @gene47.bsky.social · 2d

Why the fuck would they do that??
Maybe some of that botox is seeping into his brain..

MIT is not exactly a bastion of liberal arts and all of the rash judgements about those courses of study..
Glad they are standing their ground..
