NC mom hoping our country survives the next 4 years.

And trying to eke out what joy I can find in Steeler football, a good IPA and the hope that the new Marvel movies live up to the trailers.

He joked multiple times about Paul Pelosi getting smashed in the skull with a hammer.
This should go without saying, but Trump is not opposed to political violence. He’s opposed to violence against his political allies.

He is either silent about, or approving of, violence against his political enemies.

People are being snatched off our streets for the color of their skin, they’re being deported to foreign countries for their political opinions, and they’re being jailed without due process...

Every Democrat should be doing this. Go there, see it and report it out. Tell the truth of what’s happening there.
I just left the Everglades Immigrant Interment Camp. No, I’m not using their ridiculous name. It was a very tough to witness humans in those cages. Every Floridian should be ashamed that our taxpayer money is being used for this.

Thinking about July 4th upcoming and not feeling so celebratory about our country - but at the same time I don’t want to cede patriotism fully to the right.

Used “Top Gun: Maverick” to explain Hegseth to my kids (10 and 8):

“Imagine if the man in charge had texted his friends: ‘Maverick and Rooster will take off in one hour to attack that base.’”

That’s all it took. Both said he should be fired.

The Jeffrey Goldberg self-leak is what happens when you replace DEI with DUI.

Pete Hegseth is a dimwit weekend morning news guy who got the SecDef job literally because Trump saw him on teevee.

Sure - so many people who depend on social security will be just fine if it doesn’t show up. No biggie.

Yes, a return to the values of Thomas Jefferson, who famously believed every human was equal / maybe except the ones he owned. And well, women. But everyone else, sure. Totally equal.
So…make slavery great again?

If you take down a Confederate memorial that was literally dedicated to promote white supremacy, that’s “erasing history.”

But if you hide pictures of accomplished women, that’s just fighting wokeness.
Fellow NSA - National Security Agency veterans. Look at what’s happened at the National Cryptologic Museum. They covered up with brown paper the photos of Women in American Cryptology. All in response to President Trump’s anti-diversity executive order.
