Even IF we are ALLOWED to vote next year and beyond, and IF we manage to pull our heads out of our asses, we will be fixing this mistake for decades.
And if we aren't allowed to vote.... Well, I hope we remember the cure for fascism soon. Actually strike that, it implies I'm willing to wait 1-3 years to find out, I want the people to remember the cure now.
I can only imagine what bullshit I'm going to hear over the next few years about why the US isn't doing well but the EU and Canada are.
I've had more conversations than I can count with people I would never be able to talk to in person, all using our own native languages.
The original posts are in English, people comment in their native language, and I use a translator, then respond in my own language. Is the translator perfect? No! Neither is theirs.
With the way most translators I've used work, it's easier for the non-native speaker to try translating, since the translator might try and use different words that entirely change the meaning, but likely list possible alternatives. A native e speaker will understand the alternatives while a non-native speaker probably won't.
That's my thought process anyway.
Never had anyone who wasn't pearl-clutching or virtue-signaling complain about it. And I've had tons of conversations with people I'd never have talked to otherwise.
See, he ASSUMES there's "no way to win" and that this judge will always, regardless of anything else, strike down things because they're "against republicans/trump/whoever"
Why?
Because that's exactly what they would do, are doing, plan to do in the future, and can't imagine a world where someone else isn't just as shitty as they are.
Projection. Insecurity.
I mean, there's no way to win, but that's because this is one of those things that can't be ignored and absolutely should result in consequences. I'm not hopeful that real consequences will be had though.
The indomitable human spirit.
Also known as "the ability to exist out of pure spite, because FUCK YOU I ain't collapsing over THIS bullshit."
Current us administration: Let's close the department of education and make secondary education all but impossible.
Nothing says "we are a free and open community that welcomes others" like moderators banning discussion of poor moderation.
Yes, I do understand what the rule is there for. No that doesn't make it any less hilariously shitty.
Armada and Armada 2.
I really like RTS games.
Whatever the fuck I feel like, damn.
Nosey ass search engine...
I say "trap" but I don't kill anything, and they don't die.
It's just a sacrificial post I keep near the wood I want them to leave alone.
They're alive and well in their 2x4s
Oh don't you worry, I'm just waiting for the day she speaks directly to me about these things because I will absolutely whip out the Bible and inform her that she has no right to speak in my presence, nor is she permitted to attempt teaching.
If you're gonna bring your bigoted book into it, it's fair game for me to use too.
I usually have to make carpenter bee traps/lures so they leave the exposed wood around my property alone. They're going to collapse the porch at this rate.
The traps are basically just sections of 2x4 with little starter holes drilled here and there. Idk why but the chonkers seem to like those more.
So far, no traps this year.
I haven't even seen any hornets or daubers
There's a guy I know of who keeps bees, and while there are some people nearby who get pissy at him every time they see a bee, most people love how well all the flowers and gardens grow nearby and understand why they do.
This past year I went to someone's house nearby and their tree was blooming, but didn't look nearly as good as usual. And then I noticed I couldn't hear any bees.
When that tree has flowers, it's filled with so many bees you can hear it buzzing from the road about 300m away.
Now silence.
I haven't seen a bee around where I live in over a year. And I'm outside a lot in the spring and summer. Usually I get a few buzzing over me when I'm out in my hammock, but I have yet to hear one this year. I'm hoping they're just "sleeping in" a bit but I fear I already know the truth...
People.
It's people.
Hey, you.
YEAH YOU! WITH THE FACE ON YOUR HEAD!
YOU are a FULLY FLEDGED HUMAN BEING with VALID FEELINGS and DIFFICULTIES!
YOU are BEAUTIFUL and HAVE THE CAPABILITY OF GREAT STRENGTH whether you REALIZE IT OR NOT
YOU can FACE THE DAY ahead and NOBODY CAN STOP YOU unless you LET THEM
If someone wants to HATE YOU FOR EXISTING, then you have to EXIST AS HARD AS POSSIBLE because they aren't going to change, but YOU DON'T GIVE A FUCK ABOUT PETTY SHITHEADS
GO GET EM, TIGER
That place is a monument to mankind's arrogance.
Didn’t we have security leaks during his first term too?
Dude straight up stole classified documents, "LOST" (sold) a bunch while foreign nationals were occupying nearby rooms, then lied about it, then tried to hide it, then lied about trying to hide it. Then tried to hand wave it all by saying he prayed declared thought about them being declassified and therefore perfectly legal to do the things he didn't do.
To name a single instance.
I'd say 50/50 because she's a woman and a Democrat.
Good thing she never wore a tan suit or used the wrong mustard, then Republicans would have done something drastic like storm the Capitol building!
My mother in law fully believes that liberals have taken over Texas and that they're over-reporting things like this in order to trick people into believing banning abortion is what caused it.
A large portion of the world believes in various deities who "love us" so much they will condemn us to literal eternal torture if we don't believe hard enough and do what their books say.
This isn't that far-fetched.
