On aother note it’s not quite as obvious as in some pics but you can still see the slight downturn of the right corner of his mouth.

I’m almost positive that his recent public absence was due to a stroke and his MRI last week was a follow up scan … 🤞🏼✌🏻

"Speaker Johnson, it looks as though the president is currently stabbing you with a knife. Do you have any comment?"

"Well, look, this is the first I'm hearing about it. As you know, I've been really busy not doing my job, so I just don't know enough about this alleged stabbing to make a comment."

There’s no doubt about it this is a huge failure of the Justice Department, the Democrats, the Biden Government, & everyone that had the power to act & did not. No matter what violence his arrest brought forth it could have prevented all of this & spared the people they’re supposed to serve. 😠😭

Filthy stinking rotten LIAR!!! 😡

I’m not a believer myself but I hope that if there’s something beyond this life we currently inhabit, that the very worst of the worst awaits him 🔥

Mike Johnson lies shamelessly: "The president is desperate for SNAP benefits to flow to the American citizens who desperately rely on it ... the SNAP situation has legal impediments."

Here’s a novel idea, how about stores start letting people in need take the thousands of dollars of food a day that would otherwise end up in dumpsters out the back?

The cruelty is the point.

Please ignore that extra comma after preventative, I type too fast & I swear sometimes my fingers just hit random keys … and I’m too blind to notice 🤦🏻‍♀️

Yeah my question was more rhetorical, I don’t really think there’s a way out either and that’s a sad & frightening prospect.

BJ @beejay99.bsky.social · 2d

Yes he did, he told people exactly what he was going to do, but far too many either didn’t believe him, were ignorant of it, or willingly & enthusiastically embraced it.

It’s a sad indictment on American society & highlights decades of failure in accountability & preventative, measures.

Obama: "It's like every day is Halloween, except it's all tricks and no treats. And here's the thing -- it's not as if we did not see some of this coming. I mean, I'll admit it's worse than even I expected, but I did warn y'all. And you know what? Donald Trump warned you too."

I will never understand it.

Seriously, WTF is wrong with these people? And more importantly, is there some way to fix it?

If nonviolent resistance doesn't work, why are they trying so hard to make it illegal?

So, who’s land are they going to poison this time? 😠

These people are actually genuine morons. Imagine stating you’re against deportation of immigrants and believe abortion should be mostly legal but then admitting you voted for the 🍊💩!

WTAF?!

Make. It. Make. Sense!

I love this quiz because it reaffirms: People are inscrutable and irrational political participants! Their voting decisions are based on a mix of vibes, weird/incoherent policy preferences & ideologies, and the brand of the candidate. Nothing is straightforward. www.americansurveycenter.org/quiz/

The wealthiest 0.1% emit an average of 2.2 tonnes of #CO2 every day, equivalent to the weight of a rhinoceros

At the other, a citizen of #Somalia burns off just 82 grams barely the mass of a single tomato

The average for everyone on the planet is 12kg a day
