Well, he didn't say those dread words, "Maybe in a few weeks-- we'll see," so she's spared the fate of the 'Infrastructure Plan' -- for now.

Trumpian level con job. Makes you almost feel sorry for the short-legged, er, short-sighted simple souls of MAGA.

A money transfer to an account to be specified in a secure message to follow should do it.

Browns fans, I feel your pain — but manga takk (Norse for "many thanks") for beating the Pack!

How dumbf does one have to be to be a neo-nazi AND Jewish?!

Luther Rotto @lutherrotto.bsky.social · 4d

Dunno. Certainly hope it doesn’t happen, but sooner or later one of these ICE jerks (just to fill a ‘quota’) is going to run into a guy in a ‘stand-your-ground’ state with a legal concealed weapon who’ll call them out for threatening him w/o ID & there’s gonna be an exchange of gunfire. Then what?

Luther Rotto @lutherrotto.bsky.social · 4d

Raised (thankfully) by an antifa! Respect.

As per usual, every accusation an admission.

Good on you and God bless your efforts. However, it's estimated that around 62,000 metric tons/month are needed by the ˜2 million Palestinians to meet even minimal needs. [https://www.wfp.org/emergencies/palestine-emergency]

Back when, the mantra was “Information yearns to be free!”. Now it’s “Information will enslave you!”

We waited for love to bring

Of some greater awakening?

Si ifra! (Speak up!) The Norse are listening.

Luther Rotto @lutherrotto.bsky.social · 5d

Not hearing a ‘question’ here — simply asking affirmation of the (fascist) party line queued up pre-briefing. Puke-level deplorable.

Shakespeare ain't in it.

Luther Rotto @lutherrotto.bsky.social · 6d

Could happen — after the ‘stoppage time’ has expired.

Luther Rotto @lutherrotto.bsky.social · 6d

Agreed. You should see the quizzical looks I get when I say, "You're reading the wrong Bible."

Luther Rotto @lutherrotto.bsky.social · 7d

Depends on who’s cutting the check.
