🇺🇦 I see my background as less important than how it brings me to this fight. I'm American/Irish, pretty well-traveled, happily married, a dog lover (currently w/4 rescued dawgs), born in Seattle, lived all over, currently WA state, and very progressive.

We're on the very edge of the precipice, right here, right now.

The only question is whether or not Humpsky's delusional fugue state is allowed to continue.

He is quite literally spiraling out of control right now, & somebody's gotta stooge-slap this bitch & put him to sleep!

I'm not joking!

Holy rotting christ!. THIS is why I sometimes wish there WERE a hell, so that pieces of absolute shit like THIS would suffer there for an eternity.

Sadly, though, I just think this is WHY so many "believe" in a hell.

Well, @ least he DIED in great pain & fear, like THE INFANTS ON WHOM HE PREYED!!!

ALL that these "conservatives" actually conserve is themselves...&, of course, each other!

Hmmm....China used to buy millions of tons of our soybeans each year.

Then "stable genius" levied 100% tariffs on China, who retaliated by buying NONE of our soybeans &, instead, buying them from Argentina.

And, despite this windfall, Milei is STILL having troubles & desperately needs our help.

Ron Filipkowski @ronfilipkowski.bsky.social · 1d

What he not saying is that his friends and cronies invested a fortune in Argentina since their guy Milei won, they stand to lose a big chunk of those fortunes the way things are going, and Argentina’s elections are in two weeks and we are tampering in them to bail Milei out.

Even so, Kellyanne ConJob deserves to be her own class of slime! She actually thinks SHE managed Humpsky's 2016 campaign, just sitting back, rubber-stamping whatever he wanted.

By that standard, I've coached dozens of teams to championships & greenlit countless lottery wins.

You're welcome!

Oh yes, they knew. They ALL knew. Transactional to the core, though, they just "got over it," if they ever even thought of it @ all!

.. It's all so simple & direct, transactional even, but so BRAZEN! They don't even care that it's hypocritically blasphemous to support an "agent of their god" who himself blasphemes that god.

Or that it's total bullshit, ANYWAY.

It's a temple of lies, & it will fall. It simply cannot stand!

Cuchulainn @cuchulainn999.bsky.social · 11h

..pastor, even MORE so.

But none of them seem to care @ ALL, about ANY of this. This leads me to believe that they care, NOT for his soul, but ONLY for what he can do for THEM.

And, according to my über-gawd squad sister, that is to hasten the Rap-cher by ensuring Israel rebuilds that temple! ..

.. even above his "god," cutting his own deal as it were. Then, of course, there's really no reason even to drink that wine or eat that "cracker," IS there?

If I were still cat'lick, I would be deeply offended by his cavalier attitude & his blasphemous presumption. And, if I WERE a christian ..

Cuchulainn @cuchulainn999.bsky.social · 11h

.. OG cat'licks believe they CANNOT receive them w/a blemished soul &, thus, they confess their sins to a priest BEFORE they can receive them. THAT is the true nature of the eucharist.

For Humpsky to deny ever asking for forgiveness necessarily means that he perceives himself to be equal to or ..

Cuchulainn @cuchulainn999.bsky.social · 11h

.. aware that any other denominations practiced the eucharist or communion, but I know what the cat'licks believe, @ least.

The eucharist "host" (the "cracker") & wine are consecrated & literally "transubstantiated" to become the actual body & blood of their "savior," christ.

And, technnically, ..

I think it was Keith ( @olbermann.bsky.social ), the other day, relating Humpsky's bullshit about drinking "a little wine" & "eating the little cracker" in church & feeling redeemed, or some crap like that.

Now, I've only ever been exposed to cat'lick catechism (the whole 9 yards!), & I wasn't ..

Cuchulainn @cuchulainn999.bsky.social · 11h

.. But they might want to invest in a tiny Inogen oxygen generator & just have Humpsky drop a musky nugget in there for them each month.

It would almost certainly be muskier, & much more potent for fogging their brain! Plus, they could wear it like a little backpack!

Just a darling look for them!

Cuchulainn @cuchulainn999.bsky.social · 11h

Wow! This IS the crux of the issue, ain't it!

The pug pedos are counting on the Dems to shelter THEIR pedos. But I say, let 'em ALL burn!

I must say, tho, it's good for Lady Lindsay that, when their head starts to clear & they clutch their pearls, they have that tank of Humpsky Musk to fog up! ..

Three cheers for MIT. When the White House tried to buy obedience with funding strings...MIT said, “Hell No!” Merit over mandates. Freedom over control. Finally...an institution with the guts to tell power where to shove its politics.

David Simon, creator of ‘The Wire’, being interviewed by Ari Shapiro (NPR)

SHAPIRO: OK, so you've spent your career creating television without Al, and I could imagine today you thinking, boy, I wish I had had that tool to solve those thorny problems...
SIMON: What?
SHAPIRO: ...Or saying...
SIMON: You imagine that?
SHAPIRO: ...Boy, if that had existed, it would have screwed me over.
SIMON: I don't think Al can remotely challenge what writers do at a fundamentally creative level.
SHAPIRO: But if you're trying to transition from scene five to scene six, and you're stuck with that transition, you could imagine plugging that portion of the script into an Al and say, give me 10 ideas for how to transition this.
SIMON: I'd rather put a gun in my mouth.

I might ask what's wrong w/him, but I think we all know he's a basketcase.

Anyway, I suspect he's not going to be there for a 2nd term, all the supposed benefits of incumbency be damned.

He's burned too many bridges to get Dems' votes, & the pugs are just about done w/him.

So, NO & NO!
