Flew in from that other place. Very Glad to be here, people are central to social media that works.

@sfleetucker a few weeks ago, for about three days, I tried to recreate my bird experience here. Then I thought to myself why the hell would I want to do that? This place needs to be as different from that as possible.

Marjorie Taylor Greene says if every member of Congress had to resign for doing what Matt Gaetz has been accused of, "Democrats would have a supermajority."
👉 MTG saying out loud what we already know to be true is infuriating as hell because we know not a damned thing will be done about it.

I’m not engaging in the Mind-fuck Follies.
No longer invested in the outcome, I put no weight on what may dribble out on CoSo. Or any other media.
I don’t care what he/they say and do. It’s a shit show of incompetence, revenge & dark intention. I expect the worst. They are delivering.
Either the American Experiment will succeed or it will fail. But I am no longer giving up my peace/health in the process.
It’s a choice.
Jeff Tiedrich is encapsulating my daily rage pretty well so far.
"so, for those of you keeping score at home, it’s —
— trafficking teenage girls across state lines and paying them to participate in drug-fueled sex parties is good.
— being trans is bad."

Dr. Oz? I thought we banished him back to New Jersey?
At some point, since this is becoming a reality TV show, do they get to vote him off the damned island?
Enjoying this Buffalo game - time for KC to come back to earth.
found it in a post by @Zevon. Thanks!
Happy Birthday CoSo! I've been here for two years and I flew in from that other site when it was taken over by someone nuts. I value all the folks I've interacted with over that time. I turned Pro pretty early on as I could see the value in this space. I'd like to make a gift to sustain this place, how do I do that? Can't find a link on the subscription management page.

At 78, Trump is not exactly the face of the party’s future. Nor did he deliver a “massive win.” He won less than 50% of the popular vote with many voters apparently unaware of his policies, and while the Republicans did retake the Senate majority, they did so with very little help from him. Republicans will have as bad a map in the 2026 midterm elections as the Democrats had in 2024, and Trump’s voters tend to be loyal to him and no one else, generally not turning out in midterms.

It really does seem like Trump is constantly asking "Where is the line?"
And the answer, all the way from the voting public to SCOTUS, is "There isn't one."
This is the question that needs to be raised with conservatives and especially republicans. "Where is your line? What would be a deal-breaker?"
These are the people who -- my whole life -- have been calling out moral relativism. And now, this is their guy. This is now their moral centre.
They need to made to see it.
Hard to believe this is real, but you know LIndsay Graham. I think the brain worms are jumping.

I've always loved Scotland and its people. They get resistance!

"oh great, Really Concerned Susan’s going to ask questions — and then announce with great fanfare that Matt Gaetz has learned his lesson and he’ll never drive teenage girls across state lines for drug-fueled orgies again."

Giuliani Warns Matt Gaetz That Trump Never Pays His Attorneys
https://open.substack.com/pub/borowitzreport/p/giuliani-warns-matt-gaetz-that-trump
From the Guardian:
Oklahoma congressman Markwayne Mullin has previously accused Gaetz of sharing videos of girls he slept with on the House floor. He told CNN last year that Gaetz would “brag about how he would crush ED medicine and chase it with an energy drink so he could go all night”.
On CNN just now, he said, “I completely trust President Trump’s decision making on this one.”
#politics makes strange bedfellows.

Sorry for all the negativity today. I just can't shake the feeling that everything we've ever been told about truth, justice, doing the right thing, the arc of the moral universe, good will always triumph, etc. is total and complete bullshit.
Male engineering student explains why his female classmates are not his equals. Worth reading.
I didn't get it until my wife womansplained it to me 25 years ago.
Discord leaker Jack Teixeira sentenced to 15 years for sharing U.S. secrets.
He should have run for President maybe?
