This lovely meme really encapsulates everything I think of Trump. I don't know who created it, but they are an eloquent fucking genius. I'm making it my new pinned post.

Ken Paxton: "The criticism has been that I let a child predator out [after] one day.
Well guess what? They served 60 days.
It wasn't what we wanted..."
Correct.
His office asked for one day.
The judge refused.
The man served 29 days and didn't have to register as a sex offender.
Sexual predators deserve real consequences.

There is no "gender war." Women didn't take away men's right to vote. Women didn't ban men from education or property.
Women didn't write laws controlling men's bodies.
Women didn't build systems that stripped men of their freedom. The imbalance never ran both ways.

Since the Evangelicals love to quote Leviticus so much:
"And if a man from another country is living in your land with you, do not make life hard for him; Let him be to you as one of your
countrymen and have love for him as for yourself."

New reporting sheds light on unsettling reason Trump’s first ballroom architect quit
“L’État, c’est moi” is a phrase attributed to France’s King Louis XIV, and 370 years later, the gap between “I am the state” and “I am the code” is narrow.

I have a plan for the future, should we get the chance, that will guarantee that Congress will represent us and understand exactly what it's like to live as an average American in this country.
Devlyn's plan for the political future of this country:

You want to run for Congress or President? New requirements!

Pass a test about the Constitution & how the government works. Pass a criminal background check.

Live for 1 year in an apt while working at Walmart. You may only live on your wages & whatever govt benefit you're eligible for. You will simulate having 2 children living with you, so you must figure out transportation, child care & food, all while renting a place big enough for all of you.You can only buy a car if you save the money from working. If you can't afford a car, you better hope there's public transportation or you'll be walking. You must pay all the fees, gas, insurance & maintenance.

During this year, you will simulate several scenarios. First, you will be sick with pneumonia & out of work for 2 weeks. Maybe you'll lose your job because you're sick. You probably can't afford insurance, so you'll put off going to the doctor until you're really sick. Your medications will be too expensive, so you'll have to get creative & still feed your children.Next, your children will get sick 2-3 times each, at different times, & require medical care & you'll need to figure out who's going to take care of them because you'll get fired if you miss anymore work.

Then, if you have managed to get a car, it will have a major mechanical issue. You'll need to figure out how to get it fixed, but until you can, you're without a car.

Then your mom gets sick & can't live alone anymore. Now you'll need to figure out where she'll go. With you? A home? You're barely surviving as it is. Good luck with that.If you survive a year without killing your kids, or Mom, or going to jail for being homeless because you lost everything due to the high costs of living and low tolerance for missed days of work regardless of the reasons, then you have a good idea of what regular American deal with every single day, and you *might* be ready to represent them in Congress.

If you can't make it year, welcome to reality! You better start protesting & advocating for change in the system so that you can pass the bare minimum to represent the rest of us that are struggling in ways that never occurred to you before you lived in our world.
