That 747 was a gift, right?

How's that "America First" sloganeering tasting these days, MAGA?

Black-and-white historical photo of a Ku Klux Klan parade with members dressed in white robes and pointed hoods, marching in formation. A banner at the front reads “AMERICA FIRST – ONE GOD – ONE COUNTRY – ONE FLAG,” flanked by two large crosses. Spectators line the street in the background. Below the photo is an inset of two KKK tokens: the left reads “AMERICA FIRST – KU KLUX KLAN – PRESERVE RACIAL PURITY” with a cross and U.S. flag, and the right shows a hooded rider on horseback with the words “THE INVISIBLE EMPIRE.”

Headline of a news article reads: “New Trump Golf Course, $5.5 Billion Beachside Project Announced for Qatar.” Below, it shows the article was published on April 30, 2025, at 7:26 PM EDT and updated on May 12, 2025, at 12:06 PM EDT.

A digitally altered image shows a man in traditional Middle Eastern attire holding a gold airplane pendant on a chain in front of another man in a suit and red tie. The suited man has exaggerated spiral eyes, giving a hypnotized expression.

Screenshot of a social media post by briantylercohen. The post reads: “Trump in 2017: ‘Qatar has been a funder of terrorism at a very high level.’ Trump administration in 2025: We are building a Qatari Air Force facility in the United States.” Below the text is an image of former President Donald Trump standing at a podium with the presidential seal, speaking into a microphone with his eyes down. A CNN news banner reads: “BREAKING NEWS – [TRU]MP’S FIRST NEWS CONFERENCE SINCE COMEY TESTIMONY.” The background shows a window and part of a flag.

Not in Mountain Home. Very little there.

LackingPatienceinSpades @patiencespade.bsky.social · 10h

They’ve gotta figure this nonsense out.

Not happy with this as a neighboring state.

My parents best friends when I was growing up was the commander at Mountain Home. They would be livid.

That’s their district, man. Better open it up.

There goes all the effort getting people back in the office.

Downtown employers are going to have the most protests over heading in to Seattle.

But then we’re just being like those assholes.

Which we actually need more of. So… carry on fellas.

Now, if he had a colostomy bag, you could have gone Scott’s route and made the punny that he’s a shitbag.

He hasn’t always been, has he?

Shows you how much I pay attention to these assholes.

LackingPatienceinSpades @patiencespade.bsky.social · 13h

Saying this in my most maternal voice possible… “that’s a mean pun, Scott.”

LackingPatienceinSpades @patiencespade.bsky.social · 13h

Gish. He is in a wheelchair. Had he always been? That’s new-ish, right?

Greg Abbott?

LackingPatienceinSpades @patiencespade.bsky.social · 13h

Yes. Interesting. 🧐 🤔

LackingPatienceinSpades @patiencespade.bsky.social · 13h

You bet!

Plus I would love to have that coat off her back! What a fabulous coat!

All news should say: “Council Speaker Adams exclaimed [or other verb] today… while wearing a … [insert designer] jacket.”

I think he is. That’s what is wrong with him. He believes all the 🫏 🕳️ 💩 he says. He’s a total prick.

Irony is all the grand old pedos are anti 🇺🇸

They think they are pro, but couldn’t be farther from.

Stop bullying and sitting in the sun getting skin cancer.

Kind of ridiculous she won it, then.

But history of Nobel ☮️ prize hasn’t always been the most virtuous, ethical, or moral.

You’d think that work would go together.

LackingPatienceinSpades @patiencespade.bsky.social · 13h

I was hoping it was sarcastic.

High hopes these days.

And the “gardening” gloves were for finding “cut resistant” 🧤
Referencing “harbor freight” work 🧤

💡was not mentioning heat resistance in re: 🪏 🧤so in the future, follow the discussion 🫏 🕳️

And yes, there are frequent situations you may want to avoid cuts or abrasions while protesting.

If they are so inclined, the products are out there for high heat but there’s no guarantee they will protect in that scenario. So don’t handle them is the best advice.

Protective🧤should be used in cleanup of protests as well. There may be residual substance that can still irritate.

But always stay safe.

Unfortunately, the effects of tear gas can spread & I’ve had it gust into my home windows bc they were open when we didn’t know Seattle pd was tear gassing in 2020.

All the 🫏 🕳️ aside, if you want to protect people, advise them NOT to handle canisters & wear protective gear.

If you’re in the vicinity of tear gas, the gases spread & wind can carry it, so protecting your hands in case it gets onto bare skin, so you don’t inadvertently rub 👀 w/your hands later is another reason for gloves. (Obviously take gloves off first before doing this).
