True.

Also predicted in September 2024 that she would fail and they’d blame the Greens. And I was right.

Because they didn’t take five seconds and look at my profile.

Minutely is the correct word.

When we elect Democrats, the major difference is that the regressive movements progress more strongly at the state level, and the Dems we elected claim to be powerless to stop it. (Which we know is untrue because we’ve seen Donald wield near unilateral executive power.)

At the end of the day there is such little material difference between Democrats and Republicans that a growing segment of the population sees no use in missing a day’s pay to vote.

This is why I think it’s a tad incorrect to say “you get what you vote for”. Because we really don’t.

That is factually untrue in most respects.

Ours is not a representative democracy, if you look past a surface level analysis of American politics and read up on just how strong the correlation between public opinion and our governance actually is in reality.

Of course.

Goddamnit, Donald.

Here’s hoping the bull had a little fun getting this motherfucker back for all of his fallen comrades.

I wasn’t aware of that. Thank you for sharing.

Didn’t expect a Chinese Karen on my timeline this morning.

Right.

Because there totally won’t be another POS trophy hunter lined up to get his rocks off, and it’s pretty clear from the photos of the douchebag’s trophy room that he loved making himself feel like a big boy by shooting living things.

I understand that hunting (when tightly regulated and done ethically) is an essential part of conservation in this day and age as a necessity because of the historical excesses of the Epstein Class and its effects all over the globe, but I’m still going to enjoy reading about the very rare instances when nature wins one back.

Be that as it may, there is a need for such things, since our species has wiped out so many natural predators.

Also, just as an aside, but the Daily Mail needs to stop letting ChatGPT write its articles. This crap is replete with grammar errors.

Team Orca, Team Lion, Team Elephant

I like to think they were hooting: "Welcome to Africa, bitch!’ in Elephantese.

And nothing of value was lost in this exchange. I just hope none of the elephants have sore feet or anything.

Drops in pollution are always temporary. The Epstein Class is insulated from the effects of their industrializing.

Side effect of having, basically, a wholly capitalist planet.

A hellhole is this goddamn country where my elderly parents have to drive for DoorDash, in a car I’ve ‘lent’ them, or face homelessness.

I hate the fact that just being willing to read new information puts me on a higher plane of understanding than both the president of the US and our secretary of war, both of whom are mentally ill TV show hosts who have no real business being anywhere near the levers of power.

That said, I expect this conflict to go on for years. Donald has successfully surrounded himself with people who tell him every demented notion he has is brilliant, and those demented notions become military orders that are effectively lawful orders. (I use the word ‘effectively’ here because there is no meaningful oversight or checks and balances, so whether they are lawful or not is basically inconsequential.)

And then there’s Israel, who (I think) have blackmail on every decision maker in the US and won’t allow this war to stop.

This is a suspiciously nice side effect.

I’m very anti-war, but whenever a wide swath of the airline industry has had to shut down, like in 2008 and 2020, it has historically translated to dramatically lower air pollution numbers.

Glad to hear that psychopath is getting his comeuppance.

Yup. Eventually he will have his manic moment like Biden did. Just a matter of time.

He can appear to read if he has an earpiece in and someone’s telling him the words.

It’s okay.

Donald’s doing important things, like reading some Bible stuff in public. What more do you want?
