It's not that I miss being in a country I can be proud of – I miss being in a country I'm not utterly ashamed of.

Take over Gaza and displace 2.2 million people. We already have fascism going on. We’re already pissing the world off. Now we are doing the genocide and inciting world war thing?

It's definitely the year of the snake here in America, too.

The WH occupant announced tariffs to Columbia. Remember, Americans, not Columbians, pay the price of tariffs. The top U.S. imports from Columbia are coffee, petroleum and coal, fresh flowers, gold, and bananas. Remember that when the price of Starbucks goes up. (I'm not a coffee drinker, but FYI).

Remember that Musk spent $230 million on this past election. Remember that SpaceX controls about 85% of the satellite launch industry and the government is his biggest client. Remember that when RFPs don't go out and there are no other bids. Remember that when the U.S. overpays for his services.

Them: "What's your president like?" Me: "We don't have one. We just have a W.H.O." Them: "Who's in the White House?" Me: "Exactly. A C. W.H.O to be precise." #whitehouseoccupant #criminalwhitehouseoccupant

THIS IN: God doesn't want you to take money from the government to fund religious schools. Instead, God implemented a policy about loving your neighbor.

I'm not sure how to react. We now know that DT's actions following Jan. 6 were criminal, and that he would be convicted if he weren't an incoming POTUS. We also know nothing will be done about it, and that a majority of Americans don't care. We also know the U.S. doesn't respect Rule of Law.

Yay, imperialism! His first term, he took America back 50 years. Why not do 100?

Understandable, but is there any chance Canada would be open to picking up 50 or so new provinces?

I guess Meta is now going full disinformation. I miss when billionaires used to look like they were standing up to the future White House occupant.

Lawyers and journalists can keep digging, and they will find more - but to what end? What does it matter if there is no accountability? Thomas took advantage of his position because this is who he is. These incidents are not an aberration. The bigger question is who are we?

Character Counts! Just not in politics, apparently.

Good article! I don’t identify with the Hulu show’s culture, neither do I identify with the essential oil and dirty soda culture. I identify with the take the sacrament, go to the temple, and then rally against white supremacy and GOP, which are not compatible with Christ. Am I weird, like that?

First we end Affirmative Action, then we realize America might be a little racist. Shocker! Maybe higher education privileged white people.

Rather, teach your kids this shouldn’t be normal. History tells an uglier story.

The fact that the POTUS Elect won the last election is not a reflection of his strength or resilience. It is a reflection of the arrogance, pride, stupidity, and resilience of his followers. DT is not strong. He's a coward who does not want to be held accountable for his crimes.
