She says, "We've gotta hold on to what we've got
It doesn't make a difference if we get cold or hot
We've got another and that's a lot of joe
We've got a double shot!"
Woah, we're full of joe
Woah-oh, livin' on espresso
Take my hand, we'll make it, I know
Woah-oh, livin' on espresso...
Not so scary, really. Jumping spiders are the cutest little beasts. Look at those eyes!
A brown Jew endorsing a brown woman married to a Jew as opposed to the guy who hates brown people and Jews, is not breaking news. It's a survival instinct. #Politics
Woman, son accused of assaulting victim over 65 on MSC cruise ship
How do people reconcile the idea of a strong man with an elderly, incoherent, full of hatred and revenge rhetoric man, his senile aspirations to become a dictator who hates the country and entire cities/states and citizens bc they're Democratic, all the felonies, fraud, scandals, corruption, ineptitude, even his now well documented diaper malfunctions, a shadow of an already faulty man with no other policies , and say "yeah, only he can save us!", just how?
Sorry for the rant 😬 #Politics
trump’s behavior is Authoritarianism 101
To cement their loyalty, the leader has to give them someone to hate. Who that is doesn't really matter: the group simply has to be blamed for all the troubles the leader’s supporters are suffering. Trump has kept his base firmly behind him by demonizing immigrants, the media, and, increasingly, Democrats, deflecting his own shortcomings by blaming these groups for undermining him.
Standing on a stage with a backdrop that read, “DEPORT ILLEGALS NOW” and “END MIGRANT CRIME,” he insisted that the city had been taken over by Venezuelan gangs and proposed a federal program he called “Operation Aurora” to remove those immigrants he insists are members of “savage gangs.” When Trump said, “We have to live with these animals, but we won’t live with them for long,” a person in the crowd shouted: “Kill them!”
"I will give you back your freedom and your life.”
