I love the classics.

Thank you. I was beginning to think I was the only one who remembered that hideous video.

Where is this Richmond?

I have neither sympathy nor empathy for him, but I do sometimes wonder what is going through Rubio's head at these things.

Waterfront condos-and-casinos on Trump Gaza.
Am I the only one who remembers that hideous video?

Is this a counter to the Pepe the Frog symbol?

artcat1.bsky.social @artcat1.bsky.social · 7h

That's hilarious.

**THIS** is what's in the Epstein files that has all the boys terrified of releasing them. Not raping children, but details of the money flow.

artcat1.bsky.social @artcat1.bsky.social · 7h

Indeed. Serious Papa Bear vibes.

This is how you out the "christ" in Christo-fascism.

If the Representatives were to show up for work despite Johnson's shutdown, might that be considered "insurrection"?
If yes, then maybe it's best to wait it out rather than risk invocation of the Insurrection Act. If no, then fuck-all and release the hounds!

Indeed. But I think the Christo-fascism is more comfortable to Vance. My memory isn't perfect on this at the moment, but didn't Vance write an intro or some such for Project 2025 or some such. (It's late, I'm tired.)

According to the released Ehud Barak emails, Epstein was setting up a meeting to introduce Thiel to Barak.
Always follow the money. It's all they care about. For millennia, rape of anything within reach was just spoils to the victor. But the money, ah! the money really matters.

Great! Now post that "they" are forcing the Speaker to reopen the House so governing on all fronts may resume.

artcat1.bsky.social @artcat1.bsky.social · 16h

Also -- his government was filled with capable, dedicated people not refugees from Fox who care more about their makeup and hair extensions than the stability, security, and reputation of the country and the health and prosperity of its citizens.

The minions have no idea what words mean.

artcat1.bsky.social @artcat1.bsky.social · 16h

the real reason the files are being held back. We've known about the child abuse for decades and it didn't stop or impede any portion of the felon's celebrated career. It seems that the suffering these women endure is now being used to divert attention from the financial crimes.

artcat1.bsky.social @artcat1.bsky.social · 16h

Citations from the released emails of Ehud Barak show that Epstein was introducing Thiel around. Several or all of the broligarchs are probably also in the Epstein files and they're looking to get out while they can (or think they can).
I believe that the international money cabal is

I agree. Cults rarely survive the loss of their charismatic leader and the eruption of fighting for the empty seat tends to collapse the thing entirely.

I'm watching the Dem Governor's Assoc. There seems to be some unity in strategizing and effectiveness there. Transitions are challenging, but I remain hopeful of a good outcome.

It is, however, troubling to me that this administration keeps saying that an irrefutable, demonstrable *lack* of evidence is confirmation that the evidence has not yet been found.

artcat1.bsky.social @artcat1.bsky.social · 19h

If you're anti-Antifa (anti antifascism) does that mean you're pro fascism?
What this administration has done to understanding what words mean is atrocious (among other atrocities).

What is the source of this quotation?

artcat1.bsky.social @artcat1.bsky.social · 19h

Another diversion.
Release the files.
