Falling is NOT funny. I've had 3 falls in the last 3 years. My Dad had repeated falls out of his bed & chairs in skilled nursing rehabs while going for PT & falls at home, he died this May. My Mom's had several falls over the yrs. Ageism disgusts me period. Attack actions NOT people.

He is an abhorrent human
But watching the video I just can't celebrate the fall

The only people who have issues with transgender people in the military are those who haven't dealt with their own insecurities, ignorance, interpersonal hangups & inner truth. When you're secure in who you are, you LOVE seeing people be their true selves & you celebrate it.

I know :( Well, you do have James Talarico & Jasmine Crockett in that huge state ;) Apparently, Austin became too woke for comfort, so now it's becoming tech MAGA now huh?

I hear your passion about what you're against & I share the anti's. Unfortunately, it takes initiative for the average person to even learn about anti-colonialism, etc. Most are genuinely clueless, sadly. What would things look like if you had the proverbial magic wand? Genuinely curious.Your pros?

I believe they now call this progress? I fear for our future with AI, considering the lack of integrity. I'm upset that schools don't teach cursive. I keep paper everything; anyone who thinks we have privacy now is fooled.

He was probably speaking in Texas at the time? Maybe not, but that was my first thought as to why he said that.

Me too. He had integrity & integrity & honesty go a long way with me. He was, overall, a fair governor with common sense. Unfortunately, now I'm sandwiched between two Trump supporters & most likely the rest of our street as well. Neighbors across us, 4th cousins, watches Fox only :( still love em'

Thanks for the heads up JD! You've been so forthcoming. First the banter about how you race bash way worse than those Young Republicans when you're kicking back in the Oval & now the evil plan to creatively install Republican leaders in New England. Santa is still watching JD!

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 8h

Setting aside the fact that in 4 GOP majority states (NV, IA, MT, UT) Dems have 0 Reps despite voting 40% Dem, New England has a district Trump won by 9 and 2 toss-up districts, and Republicans lost all 3 because they ran terrible full MAGA candidates like Karoline Leavitt in NH.

OH, so a futuristic slave Nation? OK, well, I guess Mars is going to take too long ;) Where is Elon gone btw? Hmm...

lol...I'm still confused about Nancy Mace's rationale regarding bathrooms because the 3 transmen I know were all feminist queer women prior & they kept their "superior" exterior va-jj parts & now have manly beards. Pretty sure they'd freak her out way more than McBride walking through that door. ;)

Me impersonating currently named JD Vance (waiting for the symbolic name to be released) "Oh, those kids? Meh, they ain't got nothing on our racist language, you should hear the insane shit we say every day here at the "O", makes "Nazi" seem like a term of endearment!

Well said! I'm also tired of people making assumptions about a group of people as if there's one mind, that's called a cult, not a faith, or about an individual because they are of one faith or another, or "none"; people identify or don't identify for many reasons. Make Multiculturalism Great Again!

The NYC mayoral debate starts with Mamdani promising to raise taxes "on Andrew Cuomo's donors."

Do you think that's why there's so much transporn watching in the red states while they vilify the trans community? (sarcasm) Because you know, that's where one would go to learn about transgender people genuinely ;)

Corrupt Pennsylvania does it again and rules the 20 times stabbed Ellen Greenberg's death a "suicide". We won't give up the fight for Ellen & her parents. More information to be shared this evening on Surviving The Survivor on YouTube.

OK No Kings Protestors, bring your LOVE LOVE LOVE signs out on Saturday!!! WE LOVE AMERICA!! WE HATE ACTIONS THAT ARE DESTROYING AMERICA & PEOPLE OF AMERICA!

Tom Joscelyn @tomjoscelyn.bsky.social · 4d

Speaker Mike Johnson described the upcoming “No Kings” protest as a “Hate America” rally.

“No Kings” = America.

False King = MAGA.

Johnson describes planned No Kings rally as ‘hate America,’ ‘pro-Hamas’ gathering

Organizers largely blew off the rhetoric, but some Democrats online criticized the tone.

Today, Mike Johnson will continue to keep the House adjourned for the 71st day out of the last 83, with Republicans refusing to show up to work again to avoid having to vote on the Epstein files or negotiate with Democrats.

Even House Republicans are saying enough is enough! MAGA Mike Johnson needs to defy his cult leader, Convicted Felon Donald Trump, & negotiate w/ Minority Leader Chuck Schumer to reopen the government.

… The upcoming No Kings protests this Saturday continue to rattle Republicans who are stressing out that the size and scope of the events will step on their messaging about the shutdown.

They WISH Taylor Swift were a Scientologist. You can't be a feminist & pro-LGBTQIA+ and be a Scientologist. But they'd sure love her money & status that sick cult of a thing!

We LOVE America, we HATE the Administration trying to DESTROY America. Meanwhile, I watched Don Lemon on the streets in Chicago yesterday interviewing a Mexican immigrant woman, saying, "They need to come here legally!" clueless that she could easily still be targeted by ICE, she was SO naive!
