@t_heislen We have been through these phases extensively with #Brexit
The reaction will not be "OMG, I made a mistake" but "Why does the world punish us for our choice?". This will be the argument fed to MAGA voters by #Trump and his flying monkeys.

@matuzalem President Bill Clinton was a strong supporter of the North American Free Trade Agreement and actively promoted its passage. While there was some opposition within the Democratic Party, particularly from labor unions and environmental groups, Clinton was able to secure enough support from both Democrats and Republicans in Congress to pass NAFTA. In the House of Representatives, NAFTA passed with the support of 102 Democrats and 132 Republicans, while 156 Democrats and 43 Republicans voted against it. In the Senate, NAFTA passed with the support of 27 Democrats and 34 Republicans, while 28 Democrats and 10 Republicans voted against it. Clinton worked closely with Republican leaders, such as House Minority Whip Newt Gingrich and Senate Minority Leader Bob Dole, to build bipartisan support for NAFTA. He also engaged in negotiations with key Democratic lawmakers to address their concerns and secure their backing for the agreement. Overall, Clinton's ability to forge a coalition with Republicans and some Democrats, combined with his persuasive efforts to highlight the economic benefits of NAFTA, played a crucial role in the passage of the agreement.

No one saw this coming!!

This is a safety warning. Not a threat or meant to harm, only to help protect. I reported over 70 posts on X today & over 100 on TikTok, of MAGA bragging about forming rape squads. Please be careful. Don’t go out alone. Don’t wear the blue bracelets as they will target those. Keep yourselves & daughters safe please.

Dogs, plants, orchids, hoya, heirloom iris, raspberries, roses, lilacs, fall colors, antique dolls, antique quilts, farmhouse decor, old farms, horses, cows, evergreen trees, snow, night rain, miniatures, books, chicken curry, egg foo young, red wine, chocolate rum balls, bees, hummingbirds, cardinals, robins, asparagus, butterflies, local honey, apple fritters, strategy empire building games, lord of the rings, fairy houses these are a few of my favorite things.

Nothing in life is to be feared, it is only to be understood. Now is the time to understand more, so that we may fear less.

This may seem like an obvious point, but I am making it for myself as well as anyone else who might benefit.

Don’t spend ANY of your precious time and life force reading, watching, or listening to the glee of those who praise this election outcome.

Not everyone who voted for DJT is like this, of course.

But for those who are spitefully pleased? Turn them off in your mind.

They’ve gained so much—don’t give that part of you away.

"Scientists say solar energy poses no threat to life or health. But Pastor Joe "Joe Bob" Bobb says they're a government plot. As the strictly neutral press, we can't tell you which one is right. We're not here to [scoffing voice] 'fact-check.' You, the viewer, get to pick a side based on which one you feel in your gut is right! Because we won't every give you the information to make a reasoned judgment about the facts." [Big smile]

@matuzalem no- I’m sticking with “dumb”. They really are.

@matuzalem

I'm already tired of being told that I need to sign up for another hitch in a losing battle led by a bunch of "progressives" whose whining and bickering helped LOSE the battle.

Call me in 2028, we'll see what sort of a mood I'm in. Otherwise, siddown, shaddup.
