Tomato juice and V8 were disgusting in my youth, but a friend sent me some V8s in a care package while I was walking the US-Mexico border, and I loved them at age 47.

Ever since the election I have referred to it as "The Triumph of Mediocre White Men."

Let's change things in Alabama. If we can do it here, we can do it anywhere.

When you put it that way, maybe these aren't "The Best of Times." But I'm in 7th Heaven, and no one can hold me down, because it's raining in South Alabama! Months of drought, and it finally came this 29th day of April, 2026.

It's been 10 yrs folks. They are not going to wake up. They are not going to emerge from their cult. We only get out of this when we decide to fight. And Im not talking about lawsuits & memes. America is broken & necrosis is starting. We must amputate the infected regions & work w/ whats remaining

This is also how many of his young white Christian male followers are being raised at private, white Christian Academies where their notions of "superiority" ard reinforced continuously re. sexuality, skin color, religion, and national origin.

Israel, Russia, and America need war to keep their corrupt leaders from being deposed. So innocents must die.

I poured myself into gardening, and I have started nearly 5,000 cells. It allows me to ignore the world and my other duties while working the soil.

This is the quintessence of narcissistic sociopathy. And just plain stupidity. From @anneapplebaum.bsky.social:

Lots of stupid people voted for the Orange One. But white supremacists got exactly what they voted for.

I love my public radio. Or, more accurately, I loved my public radio. Now, I have to avoid the regular updates on the fall of America and everyone we're destroying in the process.

While I consider the majority of Trump voters to be unintelligent, the white supremacists got exactly what they voted for. They're fine with a poorer, dumber, meaner, sicker America, as long as minorities get hit harder.

Thought I would have gotten used to it by now, but I’m still grappling with the realization of just how stupid the men running this country are.

I used to love my daily news fix. I can't stomach it anymore, so I play online chess and take language lessons.

True, but this argument is always used by Republicans against anything that benefits the majority of the population, so they can give those same funds to the billionaires.
