Welcome to CoSo! We're so glad you're here!
It all comes down to one profound idea:
We're all humans with many levels of experience and complexity. Our political opinions, are only one aspect of who we are as people.
Start with kindness and respect see where it goes. Tolerance is a good thing.
You may also experience some withdrawal from the lack of a head-pounding dopamine rush caused by the hate, poison, dehumanization and cognitive dissonance of the bird site.
You'll live.
Confession:
I havenโt been able to stomach the web since, well fuck, since the asshole got kicked out of office.
Burnt out on the battle to remove him and the day to day struggle to remain sane while he was in office.
Jโs creation here and the good people, people I adore actually and dammit you know who you are kept me sane and focussed. The antidote against asshole was caring about people and seeing them as multi-dimensional outside of out politics. A community who soldiered on.

After spending 40+ years here in this country I finally took the oath and became a citizen last month. And some people were surprised in my circle and I had to tell them there was an America I still believed in, the one that liberated my country in WWII (I wasnโt around for that of course) and I knew could be and in my mind I was thinking of CoSo. CoSo is my America. The values and aspirations here. The seeing beyond politics (but never accepting fascism) and value of all.
Thank you CoSo.

Why CoSo Pro??
Because Twitter is basically defacto ruled by a traitorous prick who got elected president thanks to the help of some nasty Russian mobsters and oligarchs and Russia's tyrannical murdering President who is obsessed with destabilizing the nation and the world.
We have a mission here. This place has progressed with the idea that if we respect each other's humanity and transcend the divisive politics, that's an incredibly powerful idea to build on.
Fuck the Bird Site. Go Pro.
Hey Ms. Real good to see you and umm.. everyone....., it took me a while, to realize it all went โPOOFโ!
๐๐๐๐คฃ๐๐คฃ๐
Itโs going to make for a great story in the future...
Itโll be like, hey guys , you remember that time J accidentally blew up the whole site?? LOLZ!
@TheAbbotTrithemius When Stormy Daniels and/or Michael Cohen take the stand and testify. That's the date of the giant orange courtroom explosion, IME.
@Loffreni @TheAbbotTrithemius
My money is on the 26th too. So I will throw $20 to CoSo if he loses his shit on or before Friday this week. I don't imagine he can last...
@TheAbbotTrithemius I will match your $20
We should take bets on how many days people think Don Snoreleone's going to be able to sit in that courtroom without going completely ballistic no matter the consequences of it, which he will say don't apply to him anyway.
I give it 8 or 9 days so middle of next week May 1st. May Day....he fucking explodes like a gaseous supernova like Nicholson does in A Few Good Men and destroys himself.
$20 bucks goes to CoSo if he does it before or after that day.

Laura Loomer speaking to the NY Times today outside the courthouse:
"You think I have a social life? You think I have a dating life? You think Iโm married? You think I have kids? Do you think I go out and do fun things? No. Because Iโm always putting every extra bit of time that I have into supporting President Trump.โ"
Who would've guessed??

Someone told me that if you preface any tweets or Truthies or whatever from #TFG with "Mommy said..." you will instantly enjoy it more. And you know, they aren't wrong.
Apr. 22: NY Court System to Post Daily Transcripts of Trump Trial on Its Website
The court system is taking the
novel step of posting the daily transcripts of the trial proceedings on its public websiteโ
[...] to ensure broad and continuous public access to
this extraordinarily high-profile case. A certified transcript of each dayโs trial proceeding
will be posted online and publicly available before the end of the next business day.
To all our Jewish cosonauts.

I'm still happy with this sestina I wrote. It's a difficult #poetry form. The title is "Strata." #CoSoPoetry

@TheAbbotTrithemius Who could blame you? Damned dangerous intellectuals with their words! ๐คฃ
General question put out there for debate.
If I wanted to split and discredit liberals and Democrats, what would be the best way to do that?
And letโs say for fun I had at my disposal:
My own intelligence agency expert in destabilization.
A string of powerful propaganda media outlets thanks toโฆa powerful power crazed political cult leader controlling an entire political party and rabid following who felt โvictimizedโ and open to extreme measures?
What methods could I use?
I credit those who read my posts with the intelligence to discern between satire and disinformation and I am damned well certain I am not going to put satire behind a content warning for fear of being reported.
The TOS covers *deliberate* disinformation. If you start reporting stuff because you mistakenly believe it's disinformation, you're wasting Jester's time. Are you *really* going to have people removed from coso for a JOKE? Get a life & block me, because I don't want you reading my posts.
@TheAbbotTrithemius @Cachobweeney @Jorro @NorCalCherylLyn @Jess He'll be selling this soon along with a book entitled Art of the Fart.
@Jorro @NorCalCherylLyn @TheAbbotTrithemius @Jess
He's killin' them, and I don't mean with laughter!! Whew!!!
Truth matters. Time, attention, thought, empathy & patience matter
