I've said it before and I'll say it again. Mike Johnson is one of the more evil people in government today. Worse than Trump.

I would buy a politician, or several. It doesn't seem like they would be worth much though, so maybe it wouldn't use up enough money. There are definitely several that fit the criteria. 🤔 Add to that a fabulous golden cage for them, which hangs from a crane I also buy, and put it in Times Square.

Am I the only one who remembers what young men sounded like years ago? Hint: I am not shocked.

'Inexcusable': Red state Republican group shut down after shocking report on racist chat

I mean it's not just a knee jerk response when the internet is full of young men literally doing just that. Add to that looking for a trad wife type woman among women who are clear they don't want that, which is just dumb. When I suggest they find a church to find that kind of woman I get silence.

A lot of white people are born, raised, and live their whole life in areas that are 99% white. Having grown up that way, those of us who aren't still that way are the ones who read books, got a higher education, and/or moved to a less whites only area. That is my observation from my experience.

Remember when Presidents were mature enough to not comment on things like this?

They showed his neck vagina. That’s what he’s really upset about.

What a vain and petty man. 😂

My memory of the metal slide is from the deep cold ice box of Minnesota and a girl stuck halfway down because she stuck her tongue on it. Must have been a dare. 😳

Liv @livinthepresent.bsky.social · 22h

That is brilliant.

Mikey told us why when he accused Democrats of handing the power to the Executive Branch by shutting down government. They accuse of the things they are doing. This is intentional. He wants Trump to have all the power.

😂 I opted to buy from an indigenous store instead but this post made me laugh.

Liv @livinthepresent.bsky.social · 1d

It's really a view that basically guarantees there will never be change. If no one is allowed to judge evil behavior because 'the past' then society could never move forward. Ever.

This is the defense people I know use to explain away family abuse. "Well it was different back then" like somehow because certain types of abuse were more acceptable it means they couldn't have known it was wrong. This despite their own religious views telling them it was wrong.

And part of this is also you have to be willing to learn (motivated), some kids (people) simply are not even in the same educational environment.

This is just incredible painting. ❤️

Ok so your confusion is in that word 'owner'. Cats are 'served', not 'owned'. Hope this helps. 😼

I decided to 'celebrate' columbus day by buying from an Indigenous owned store or artist. Feel free to drop suggestions in the comments. I have often bought from Eighth Generation, link in comments.

HAPPY INDIGENOUS PEOPLE DAY tomorrow. 2nd Monday each October..just happens to land on Columbus Day, too. @sandygirl4him.bsky.social

And this is why the whole 'they're stealing our jobs' is BS. No white boy has the gumption to get out there and do jobs like this. You can barely get them to show up on a construction site where they are reasonably well paid.

"Maria" is rolling up raisins under the hot Madera sun. To earn $70, she has to roll 1,000 sheets! Each row has around 250 sheet. It's hard grueling work walking on the burning sand for hours rolling one sheet after another. #WeFeedYou
