Donald did this...I just edited it. I'm still wondering why he did it, he was having some microphone problems, most people would not pretend to suck the microphone after technical difficulties. #Trump

Time for dessert.

A Trump supporting, anti-trans, anti-gay Republican was elected commissioner of Hancock County Indiana. He won despite being in jail on election night for a sexual assault in Vegas. He plead guilty to lesser charges.

It’s now come out that the woman he assaulted was his daughter. (adult, has boyfriend)

Conservatives are fine electing sexual assaulters.

"The editor of the Kansas newspaper raided by police last year has a message for journalists struggling with their sense of purpose.

Go on the offensive.

“We’re not talking about the future of journalists. We’re talking about the future of democracy,” Meyer said. “Because without journalism, there is no democracy. We can’t have an informed public making informed decisions that will lead our country if they don’t have information, solid information that’s reliable."

Hey CoSo, here’s your chance to get some free publicity for this community: https://www.theguardian.com/media/2024/nov/13/tell-us-have-you-migrated-between-social-media-platforms-recently

I am so done with MSM. 😒

Good morning, CoSo!

When the secret police come to fetter out all those who have been disloyal to the régime or transgressed its arbitrary commandments or simply been in a category of people the régime defines as anathema, it's not enough to be good at hiding your tracks and blending in with the multitude. Maybe you can escape detection with the right pseudonyms and passwords and secret software. But that's merely self-preservation, not resistance.

From ‪George Takei‬:

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. But we did not give up on this country. We rebuilt our lives, and we worked to ensure that something like this never happened again in America.

Grateful for Counter.Social during Trump round 1, critical for surviving R2.

October and November are high cost months for J. It amazes me how much he believes in us and supports us.

Droppin something in the kitty for Counter Social's birthday- nothing I buy Christmas will bring me this much joy all year long. (Uggs only get me thru winter)

Who ever said money can't buy you love never joined CoSo.💙

in the further adventures of "turn in your neighbors" on the dumpster fire:
(note that Martine is first generation Chinese-American & a rabid Trumper)

“Ruhle put a stop to the disorder–potentially and threw the show to commercial. ‘I just threw up in my mouth, so we have to go to commercial,’ she said as the panel was overcome with laughter again.”

Why?

“I do agree. (Gaetz) will probably have to pull out.. excuse me, that’s a bad choice of words,” said Rogers

Why men shouldn't be deciding for women.

The same people that say letting a kid present as the gender they told you they are is child abuse but would jump to let a doctor mutilate an intersex kid for not having genitalia that fit the binary crosses over. Ask me how I know. 🙃
