@AlphaCentauri 2014. Ten years ago. Wow. Thanks for the trip back.

We have to stop focusing on Trnmp. All Trnmp issues will resolve themselves.

We have to start focusing on the GQP itself. While the Republican party rots at the head, it's down ballot where the gold resides. I have more on this in the coming days. This is a bookmark for myself.

👇👇👇 I've been tellin' ya - the GOP white christian nationalist obsession with sex is NOT about sex. It's about:

1) making babies (they've run the numbers)

2) control over women's bodily autonomy

Abortion? Gone. IVF? Gone. (I don't get that one.) Contraception? Gone. Miscarriage? Punishable. (This one hits particularly close to home.) I could go on.

I swear to the gawds, they want a bed cam above your mattress. Missionary only.

"You miss 100% of the shots you don't take."

I've been telling you since #J6 +1 that neither Trnmp, nor his enablers in the House and Senate will be held to account. Ever.

Not going to happen. 2024 is going to be a 💩 show. And we don't have a political garrison that is willing (or able) to go to the mattresses to stop this. It's up to us, now, 'cause the calvary ain't comin'.

Y'all beautiful.

I mean that. This is a good SM space to be. Thank you!

@IronButterfly Thanks for this.

@Eulimnadian Listened to it live.

No, it's not preventable. Process it best you can.

@IronButterfly I lost many years. Don't have that many in front of me at this point in time.

I sat here for 10 minutes thinking I might have a happy ending to this post, but I don't.

It is what it is.

@PussyFootingAround There's not a LOL enough GIF for this one.

@Dane I'm not surprised. I have a dashcam and Echo Auto in my car, My sense is that both report back to higher authorities & my insurance company. My insurance rate has nearly doubled over the past few years, even with a clean driving record.

For at least two years, #GQP leadership - in thrall to, and led by Trump - has been unequivocally saying that cutting Social Security, Medicare & Medicaid is exactly what they're gonna do, given the opportunity. I'm not sure why this would be a surprise to the hoi polloi.

Take them at their word. Vote accordingly, and let everyone you know who might be impacted what's on their agenda.

@Becca5620 Gotcha. 🤗

@Say_what_now I don't want to throw in any spoilers, but Manifest is an odd series on a lot of levels. Some of the episodes & plot devices were great, others not so much. It's definitely different.

PSA - just a general head's up - if I don't contribute to your #GoFraudMe appeal, it's not because I don't believe in you or your cause, however worthy. I don't believe in the legitimacy of the platform.

Øracle sends.

@Halcyon Mama told me there'd be days like these. She was right about a whole lot of things. 😉

@BenA I've seen some trolling-ish Russian bots, but that's one of the most obvious.

Big fail on that one, "Heather".

@Halcyon Don't envy you, but I'd sleep like a baby thru that kind of storm. A big t-storm rumbled thru my location late last night and it was like a lullaby.

@WaevetSmaevets I financially support 2 of the non-bird social media sites that put up with my participation. @th3j35t3r graciously allows me to hang my hat here, so I'm a proud CoSoNautPRO. This is my safe space.

@Bobbelieu 🤣 🤣 🤣
