Perhaps, I need some clarification?

Are we now supposed to stop talking about what the the orange one SAYS and DOES?

I refuse to stop pointing out the rethugs vitriol, lies and hatred.

Fuck That.

edited to add: I should have clarified, I walked in from outside feeding the animals and heard a news anchor playing clips of President Biden speeches and using them as context to say the nation needs to stop the rhetoric.

"We The People..."

NOT

We the supremes…

‘We suffer not from the events in our lives but from our judgement of them’ - Epictetus

We absolutely MUST judge wisely and act to control that which we can.

There is a path forward, I hope to at least settle my mind by taking what action I can.

If you can’t knock doors or go to events you can still help. I always do letter writing as a way to fill some time and it does help. There are other ways out there to help as well.

Letter writing; http://votefwd.org/swingleft

Also, do a search for your local dem party committee and see how to help and talk to locals for support.

Time to work.

No peace until tfg is behind bars or fleeing the country.

"Worry less and do more" - Gavin Newsome

A small reminder to those in full on melt mode.

President Joe Biden is a “working” president. He works hard then preps for debate, he didn’t just sit around going over numbers and style, he has a job to do and he does it EVERY DAY for we the people.

Those who expect more need to check their angst at the door and start doing for Joe what he does for the American people every day Worry less and do more!

The fight has just begun.

The reversal of the bump stock ban is straight out of Project 2025 and their intention to weaken the FBI

To weaken and dismantle the FBI Project 2025 has a complete overhaul in place of which nullifying the ability of the ATF director to ban items effectively neuters that organization.

To quote from chapter 17 of the plan:

Align the FBI’s placement within the department and the federal
government with its law enforcement and national security
purposes. DOJ veterans often opine that the FBI views itself as an
independent agency—accountable to no one and on par with the Attorney
General in terms of stature—but the fact remains that “[t]he Federal
Bureau of Investigation is located in the Department of Justice.”31 It is
not independent from the department (just as Immigration and Customs
Enforcement is not independent from the Department of Homeland
Security) and does not deserve to be treated as if it were.
The next conservative Administration should direct the Attorney General
to remove the FBI from the Deputy Attorney General’s direct supervision
within the department’s organizational chart and instead place it under
the general supervision of the Assistant Attorney General for the Criminal
Division and the supervision of the Assistant Attorney General for the
National Security Division, as applicable


On edit: It clipped the most important piece when I pasted it.

This can be accomplished through a simple internal departmental reorganization and does not need to
be approved by Congress.


The MAGA cult is already entrenched in the government. The convicted felon is only a part of the problem.

Thank you for reading my little rant.

Call it what it is, any rethug who shows up at the dumpster trial is guilty of 'Witness Intimidation'.

There is only one way to interpret this latest rethug tactic to influence the trial.

These m'fers are beyond hideous.

There is scum on my pond that has more moral clarity than the rethuglican party.

Our little turtle family sunning!

Wish the pic was better but these fellas are really skittish and I could only get so close when the fam started crawling up on the log...once they were all kind of settled and Jr. had nudged his way onto the log, I quickly snapped the pic.

Shortly thereafter, when I made a slight adjustment to see if I could get closer, they all slid off...
