Trump said he deserved a cut for brokering the TikTok deal, and at once there was agreement that his son Baron would have a top executive slot... though he hasn't asked for it, and has no apparent qualifications to hold it. This is how Trump 2.0 works. www.telegraph.co.uk/us/news/2025...

Sometimes there's so much beauty in the world,... I feel like I can't take it. And my heart is just going to cave in.

I keep remembering people from back in the atheist times who were firmly against standing along any faith groups for a cause.

They were so damn wrong!

It's going to especially take every single Christian who doesn't believe this shit to show who is anti-Christianity.

It's far more than ANYONE has done so far in mainstream media.

Side note: I was just thinking about Pepe Silvia on my drive home from work.

When I talk about purity tests on the left, this is the shit I am talking about.

I was reamed out on Threads back during the Tesla protests for thinking that the people doing line dances in the street was a decent tactic.

They HATE to see us having fun.

No one is making you participate.

This video is everywhere because it's a hilarious visual refutation of Portland being on fire. You can't get a mass movement going without convincing the masses

so yes, this does do something actually

This literally does nothing. You are not beating fascism by dressing up in inflatable suits and dancing

Portland is leading the way. This is how you (non violently) beat Fascism. Humor and ridicule are key.

No joke! It's wild, because this is NOT how I was raised in the church.

Nicole Adrienne @nicoleintrovert.bsky.social · 1d

The overwhelming majority do. My bet is the ones whining were not raised Catholic, but are later converts from more evangelical faiths.

I'm an atheist but raised Catholic- including CCD from grades 1- 7. We were not taught this bullshit.

They make up lies about paid agitators doing violence, and attach them to the name of a prominent Jewish person. This is antisemitism, and it infects every part of the GOP.

Sen. Roger Marshall: "October 18 is when the protest gets here. This will be a Soros paid-for protest for his professional protesters. The agitators show up. We'll have to get the National Guard out. Hopefully it will be peaceful. I doubt it."

He wants to say "grooming" but I suppose has been told to change to another term that has nothing to do with boo in this situation.

I better tell my IT department, who keeps making me take training on combating social engineering. Clearly, I am cautious about the wrong thing.

Social engineering? Am I alone in not understanding how social engineering fits in here? He's just saying words.

Trump won't see your insults, but your failed peacemaking friends and family will!

Your jokes about Trump are extremely insensitive to those of us who are also bereft that we didn’t get the Nobel peace prize

As a loan officer, this infuriates me.

Especially because we see actual liars all the time.
