i also just have to say that pointing at a falling down barn while bragging about how fewer people are coming to america is about the perfect encapsulation of how MAGA believes in making america smaller and weaker

It's inconceivable to me how someone who lost in a free & fair election can incite an angry mob to attack his own government, (the very definition of treason) & be allowed to run for any office ever again.

Years ago, some Twitter lib (belittling, affectionate) in my replies said he stands like a centaur missing the back half of the horse and it's stuck in my mind ever since because, by gum, it's true.

what's that? the symbols of our nation are irrevocably tainted? sorry, pal, but I am convinced, being fully persuaded by the Lord Jesus, that nothing is unclean in itself (Romans 14:14) and that God was pleased to, through him, reconcile all things to himself (Colossians 1:19-20)

Followed very closely by this disgustingly Andrew-Tate-inflected case of attempted rape:

In December, a call came into Hillsborough’s police station at 2:22 a.m. A woman, who was riding in a Lyft at the time, was on the line. She said she had been trapped at AGI House by a male resident who tried coercing her to have sex.
The man told her that she was old and “would be alone forever,” according to a police report. He was “persistent in attempting to convince” the woman “to have sex with him, and she repeatedly declined,” said the report, which redacted both names.
The woman climbed over a gate and got away unharmed, the report said.

I've spent a lot of time inside classrooms of very poor schools, including working with well-resourced parents like @nhannahjones.bsky.social who opted for those schools out of social obligation. Her experience - and agony - is common and wrenching. She's just one of (very few) willing to be honest.
