No all powerful men-in-the-sky with beards. We will speak only of things true. I can track my ancestry to Lucy. If you can divine my age, sex or skin color from my posts, then I've failed.

It's been a few days now since Sr Bad Bunny told us we have 4 months to learn to habla, and here's your first quiz!
Please translate, learners.

No idea who the Venezuelan (?) fishing people were, falsely and posthumously enjoined with the gang Tren de Aragua.

Will we ever know what people in faraway lands know about the murder victims?

Will anybody be held accountable for their slaying?

The Nobel Peace Prize has suffered some hits, eg when the peacenik winner turns devil in later career.
But I think they won't suffer much prestige hit for failing to entertain last minute lobbying by social media tantrum from a guy who murders boaters in far off lands for political props.

If the NFL thought a flamboyant cross-dressing Puerto Rican superstar dude appropriate for Superbowl halftime, it's because they thought he'd make a fuckload more money than most, and I'll wager they never contemplated Lee Greenwood.

Follow the money, idiots.

Si todavia no hablan español, ¡no te preocupe! Aún les quedan varios meses, amigos.

Great. For me, be flamboyant. I don't hafta look. If I must protect children from it, that's also trivial.

Are there any Vegas odds makers who'd let me bet on odds that Comey, L James, Bolton, Schiff etc will be duly tried and convicted of crimes under the laws of the United States?

I'm feeling lucky.

Like Dear Leader, my success in fronting successful businesses is, well, mixed.

That said, if yall couldn't make money by selling antifa membership cards right now?

Perhaps you could bankrupt a casino.

Let's say you want to immediately find the most vile antisemitism on the web.
Pro tip: don't search mentions of antisemitism.

Search mentions of "Soros".

ispeaktruth2u.bsky.social @ispeaktruth2u.bsky.social · 1d

As far as I can ascertain, antifa is a cuppla guys who live somewhere around Portland and like to try to punch out right wing types, who do same.

Nobody ever accused them of being funded, or, OMG!

"Organized".

ispeaktruth2u.bsky.social @ispeaktruth2u.bsky.social · 1d

Why does that number, "57", keep emerging outside of the context of tomato based condiments?

Well, 57% of ACA "Obamacare" patients reside in red states.

Also, 57% of GOP ads for VA election concerned transgender people, whom I presume are but a percent or 2 of Virginians.

Is that number special?

ispeaktruth2u.bsky.social @ispeaktruth2u.bsky.social · 1d

Does the fact that I don't harbor a single ill thought about transgender people?
That I want as many as possible to thrive, as I wish everyone else?

Does that make me a supporter of that wicked "transgender agenda"?

1 1

On TV, knowing the Demented King will see it and be influenced, #Wormtongue assures us that a well-organized, "well funded" radical left conspiracy of terrorists is gaining strength!
Yeah, antifa, well funded, organized.🤣

He says "insurrection" a lot, and Mad King then threatens insurrection act.

Crime? Immigration?

Nope, they're running on they them.

Jane Goodall was science.
The empirical realities that make a few of us record that we observe, rather than that we "already know".
That was Dr Goodall. RIP.

I love science.
I love nature.

But the idea that humans, idiots all, should permanently manipulate wild animals and plants, for whatever reason?

Proves our ridiculous hubris.

Yeah, those people who discover how the universe, and your sorry ass work?
Often hail from elsewhere.

El señor Bad Bunny tocará en el halftime del Super Bowl y espero que se olvide de que habla inglés.

ispeaktruth2u.bsky.social @ispeaktruth2u.bsky.social · 1d

Damn, I looked it up and who knew that the "transgender agenda" was so simple?

Turns out they wanna live human lives and die of old age, w/o someone murdering them.

HOW RADICAL. 🌈

ispeaktruth2u.bsky.social @ispeaktruth2u.bsky.social · 1d

There's a reason, despite all we've heard-

That the massive "immigrant crime wave", the "transgender agenda", the "horrific urban crime waves" in "democrat cities" haven't affected your life, or those of anyone you know.

In any way.

It's cuz they don't exist.

You're welcome.

Few people who randomly incinerate people whose crime consists of plying the Caribbean in a speedboat have won Nobel Peace prizes.

If there's a person out there more dangerous to my hide than Tren de Aragua, M13, all those gangs real and imagined who fuck up the lives of 0.0000001% of us?

It sure as hell ain't Tish James.

Fuck your political prosecutions.

ispeaktruth2u.bsky.social @ispeaktruth2u.bsky.social · 1d

Are they finally taking that criminal Tish James off the street.

Wow.

Keeping America safe.

My god, what a fucking joke.

I assume of course that the 300k pages of the Epstein files are digitized, and couldn't those thousand FBI agents who spent endless hours and tax $ to delete all mentions of Dear Leader have just search-and-replaced "trump" with "some dude"?
