@michaelianblack.bsky.social is one of my favorite commentators right now. I also hope people look back in a couple of years and think he's a fool.

Somehow, with the government shut down, federal troops decamped in a bunch of American cities, and the Constitution in shreds, the day feels relatively calm.

"Does that mean I will now submit a Nobel Peace Prize nomination in the name of Donald John Trump? The idea remains as absurd now as it did before this peace deal was announced. This man is as committed to peace as Elon Musk is to his children." michaelianblack.substack.com/p/celebratin...

Is anybody else following the Mike Johnson alleged leaked Grindr messages? No idea if it’s true but it certainly fits the pattern of closeted Republicans reigning hell on LGBT folks because they hate themselves.

The recipient of this year’s Nobel Peace Prize will be announced by the Norwegian Nobel Committee on Friday October 10. US president Donald Trump has repeatedly touted his suitability to become a Nobel laureate, including claiming that he has “stopped seven wars.”

I'm not sure what you're trying to say. Are you saying some people who are opposed to the administration need to "go to the back" because they don't like GN posts? I'm not sure I understand that logic.

That doesn't answer my question at all. Do you have evidence to support your claim that "illegals" are "raping and murdering" the citizens of Chicago?

Is your contention that "illegals" are raping and murdering the citizens of Chicago? Do you have any evidence for that? Because here's one of many, many studies that demonstrates the opposite. This one is from Congress. docs.house.gov/meetings/JU/...

If the US makes it out of this relatively intact, it won't be because Trump and MAGA weren't as bad as we've been yelling, it will only be because people resisted.
