I'm sad I didn't know who she was until way after her passing.
To be led by a rapist is to offer yourself up to be violated.
How could ANYONE think trump was fit to be president. I will NEVER understand that
Shoulda just gone with it, the flight would have been much better.
The things you learn!
Whoever voted for him are getting what they asked for! Right?
Wait! What about those who DIDN’T vote for him?
Poor things! They’re in shit creek now & without a paddle too!
Better they get shifting their arses soon then! If they leave it too late
Voter suppression
And downright cheating
Our leaders are not chosen by us
They are appointed by the Oligarchs
Ye gods. We have fallen into terrible times.
The biggest threat to Americans will be when Leon’s team combine data bases from all federal agency’s into lever for the president.
Laws will be unable to keep up.
Ai will do the heavy lifting/click of the aggregation of data will be a tool to turn on/off/slow services.
Parable of the Talents was 1998
We are unfortunately living them now in 2025

Through many warlike ages
Is wrought now by a coward few
For hireling traitor’s wages
Tricky Dick we could disdain
Secure in valour’s station;
But Elon Musk has been our bane:
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!”
That quicksand we could sink in
My auld gray head had lain in clay
Wi’ George and noble Lincoln:
But pith and power, till my last hour
I’ll make this declaration
We were bought and sold for Elon’s gold:
Such a parcel of rogues in a nation!
Don't give away your power.
I hate it here.
