Bovino is just the patsy - a noxious and odious fall guy. Stephen Miller is the architect and prime mover of the whole thing. Everything they do is at his direction - often after his threats. As long as he runs policy in the WH, nothing will change no matter how many Bovinos come and go.

The North Korean expat died in an airport. The Russian expat died in a park. The Putin opponent was taken from a plane.
There's a reason that specifically Minnesota citizens are dying and then voter rolls were demanded.
If we don't stand up now, we take another step to that society.

Hard to explain the concept of the Home Guard if you're so convinced you're so right that you never believe you'd turn your neighbors in maliciously. But I'm scared of it. And to hear, "it must be sad to live your life in fear," my darling, you're being manipulated and don't understand it.

Cannot recommend the 28 Years Later trilogy enough!! A phenomenal first film on the nature of love and grief, and the second one dealt with self perception is a fantastic turn. If you can handle the gore, prepare for horror that speaks to human emotions. www.rottentomatoes.com/m/28_years_l...

Great thread! And let's not forget when he scoffs at people leaving the country for better healthcare. Umm, sir? Open your eyes?

I am currently in a faculty wide convocation, and fighting some dark thoughts. My life isn't even that bad. But the blind rage these events send me into, their cluelessness while being so wasteful, is so aoul sucking.

In my local jurisdiction, a woman was killed in a man's house in June 2023. They have just pushed back the start of trial to May 2026.
I've started hearing "isn't it a shame?"
I want to scream, we know they killed her, but GUYS, down that path lies madness.
These policies are such a path.

People are going to try and lure you into debates about whether Maduro was a good guy or not and the thing is, it doesn’t matter for the purposes of discussing whether violent kidnappings and extrajudicial murders by the US government are ok. No, they aren’t! End of convo.

The goal of your life should not ever be "piss off so many people that it doesn't matter if you run in a gerrymandered election." Cause as they say in my neck of the woods, that's a hard row to hoe.

Because it's outrage in the open, in a way not caring about the results, what results, it's three more years no matter what, because what are they going to do about it, really? It's infuriating to know that we can't even dissolve our own government under the vitriol of raging despot.
I don't know why the "Piggy" thing is bothering me so much. It's one more unforgivable thing in a list of 20,000 unforgivable things, but I've been mad about it for like 12 straight hours.

Last budded roses have not yet succumbed to the cold, but I may need to snip them off and add a bit of water to get them into full bloom.
The hydrangeas simply turned brown and keeled over.

This world may be burning, and we may live under a despot, but at least I still live in a country where people do not pass funeral processions without pulling over or refusing to pass in the fast lane. From one county seat to the next, I saw it dozens of times.
I was one.
You can be one too.

Jesus H Roosevelt Christ, you guys leaped over the "emotional stability" ranking like it wasn't the highest red flag, and like it wasn't directly responsible for the other two rankings.
An NBC News Decision Desk Poll powered by SurveyMonkey shows how the political gender gap persists alongside different social beliefs between Gen Z men and women.
Respondents were asked to select their top three choices that define success for them from a list of 13 phrases:
