Re: Idea the election was rigged. Unlikely given the current popularity stats. In the context of current income disparity and inflation, it makes sense that ~50% of the voters voted for him & also voted blue downballot. Add scary fast social change--white patriarchy was threatened. We're bifurcated.

"Think of the fed. govt. as a car. You might have thought the election was like getting [it] serviced. Instead, ...the mechanics...tell you they have taken the parts of your car that work & sold them & kept the money. And that this was the most efficient thing to do. And that you should thank them."

"Donald Trump has always fantasized about a deep state... that opposes him, something that didn’t exist. Now, he is well on the way to creating one. It turns out federal employees take their oath, their job, and their duty to serve very seriously." joycevance.substack.com/p/how-to-pus...

There is a reason Trump is afraid of the federal bureaucracy, the career civil servants he wants to replace.

Wasn't familiar with ordo amoris but found this nice description. It makes sense to me (whether you are pagan or monotheistic or agnostic or even atheist). But I think it would dictate that you feed the stranger first if it's between kin/community and non-kin/foreigners/enemies.

Correlation is not necessarily causation but this sure looks like a huge suit by grieving families. I guess I am not planning to fly anytime soon.

Dying in a mental asylum now, because I'm still trying to convince people that South Park—and Family Guy—normalized bigotry in the name of spoofing it; and an endless doomer chorus of "bigotry was always this bad" are missing the fact that, no, a majority of 18-25 boys were not bigots in 2010.

Get ready. Trump is going to fire most of the VA workforce, 70% of which are Veterans, then to "fix" the problems he created, he's going to privatize the VA and send our veterans to expensive, shitty corporate health mills after he slashes health benefits so he and his buddies can get richer.
