I find it very funny that Christian culture hammers on liberals for our cultural failings, but then they turn around and try to replicate everything we are doing, but through the lens of Christian culture. Look at their music and movies, just to name a few things they try to copy.

Time is relentless. History can be studied in hours, days, or weeks, but it cannot be lived through any other way than one grinding day at a time.

Try to remember that as we live through one of the most intense eras in recent history.

Oh, I wasn't thinking you were. I was thinking you were suggesting it was on some level a sign that the NAZI's were winning. But, I digress. Sorry for the misunderstanding. One thing we must remember though is people just don't like Trump, he isn't that popular and is overplaying his hand bigtime.

Americans have not revolted against armed military in at least 100+ years since Blair Mountain. Not sure if you all got the memo. But fascism/authoritarianism is not implemented with a rifle barrel. You actually need to be somewhat popular. Can't do the circus without peanuts. He is already toast.

It should be noted that due to Trump's immigration/tariff policies that our kitties' food is also now jumping up in price.

Yeah he definitely looks like a little fur baby. The kind of you put pictures of on your throw pillows lol.

Good find buddy. Glad you both found each other. I find cats fascinating not just due to their nature and appearance but that we have so little clue about them still.

We will only be able to do away with domestic terrorism in this country when we make all men answerable to the law. Including the person occupying the White House.

We should remember that our country has a long history of resistance to government overreach, especially when it comes to military intrusion into our civil affairs. This has always left a bad taste in our mouths.

Weren't the victims supposed to produce a list? Do you know what happened with that? I haven't heard anything about it since they announced it during that Presser.

Just curious how you maintain the coat? My cat is short-haired, and I still have trouble keeping her coat completely clean, even though she is brushed daily.

k1da1983 @k1da1983.bsky.social · 1d

This is what happens when you put crooks, grifters, and carnival barkers in charge of a complex entity like the U.S. government.

Well, I'll just pass on the luck for the cubs next year. Spent a summer in Chicago. Wrigley is a great field. I much prefer it over what the W.S had back in the early 2000's when I was there as a kid. So, Chicago is a sort of adopted place for me in a way. I last went about 6 yrs ago before covid.

Well my team the forever shit the bed Pirates are a no good team. So I am just an umpire calling strikes and balls. I do wish you the best of luck. I just tend to always have a wait and see approach to sports.

We lost Diane Keaton yesterday and have seen a bevy of people I admired around that age die in the last couple of years. Yet, this fat piece of shit with his endless cankle skin and KFC barbeque sauce for blood continues to haunt our existence.

Before '69, the team with the better record won a majority of World Series. However, this started to change when the playoffs began in '69, and with the expansion of the playoffs, the team with the best record has not always won the World Series. Since 93 it is a 23 % chance of best record winning.

Oh, they would need a hell of a lot more MAGA trolls to sign up. The fact is that our military was already stretched thin and undermanned before this whole NG everywhere bullshit. Then, something I read was that 77 %of eligible American citizens can't pass a physical for the Army. No bueno friend.

In terms of match ups the Brewers are better against the Dodgers than the Cubs would have been. Just due to their sort of Small-ball 1980s Cardinals style of play. But, it should be noted that it is still the Brewers and they always find a way to lose that shit.

Just a friendly reminder: While Mike Johnson and his pedo protecting buddies are on a fully paid for vacation hard working families are terrified of what tomorrow brings without a pay cheque.

Look, these people are just pieces of shit. Can we say that? As an addict in recovery, I am not keen on the fact that you all keep banging on RFK for being a former heroin user. I used for 15 years but didn't lose my fucking mind or moral compass. He is just a piece of shit. Addict or not.

I thought I saw a bit of Siamese in him. Beautiful cat. I love the different breeds of cats, but they are hard to figure out at times. Not like dogs that have that whole pedigree thing in them that is a huge deal. Cats are way less artificially bred, except maybe a ragamuffin that comes to mind.

k1da1983 @k1da1983.bsky.social · 1d

Yeah, I think my cat may be a domestic short-haired. She was a feral kitty with 2 brothers, who must have been abandoned or their mother died. Cats are just amazing animals. They not only know us better than we know ourselves. They have to adapt to our world, which is not suited for them.

k1da1983 @k1da1983.bsky.social · 1d

Very cute kitty. Do you know what kind of breed that is?

k1da1983 @k1da1983.bsky.social · 1d

My cat tinkerbell is the same breed as daisy and we have always called her our Black Panther. They are actually very athletic agile cats compared to other breeds.

History will most certainly judge us on which side we take and what we do in this moment.

There is no escaping the monumental nature of this moment.

F it just keeps the house out of session until 2026. It is not like they are doing anything anyway besides rubber-stamping Trump and his dumb bullshit. The only thing we need to wait on is Epstein, and it makes it worse the more he doesn't release it. Hell, you got MTG calling for the release.
