It's no different from public hangings in Dickens' era or the old West. People who relish this are monsters who breed monsters.

Hegseth is a perfect match for trump. Sadistic, arrogant, convinced of his own superiority. Neither should ever have been allowed to attain positions of authority.

I'm glad that she lived a long, productive life, and I hope she had many hours of real joy.

7 shots fired. 4 pm in afternoon. At a car with 5-year old in it. Can’t use deadly force except in response to imminent threat of death of serious bodily injury. As in, from what we know, a blatantly illegal shooting. That’s without regard to victim’s criminal record. 7 Shots Fired.

Yeah, she'd vote for him again in a flash, despite this sad sack, attention-seeking post.

I'd guess it's because she never says no to him, never talks back. This is a certain kind of woman that believes 100% compliance is the key to a good relationship.

Oh boy. They lost me a few years ago with their lousy both-sides political coverage and have only gotten worse.

Sounds like the fantasy of an embarrassed millionaire who wouldn't ever support taxing the wealthy because he just might become one of them.

That's not going to be a winning message for her.

They know that's not the case but will keep pretending as long as "we" allow it. Don't let them get away with it.

If only someone held a position of power and influence, and could do anything at all about this.

'Treasure Island', from 1937, is a bright creamy yellow with a white blaze on the falls. A great grower and bloomer, it shines across the garden. #iris 🌱 #bloomscrolling

Looks like that nullifies all of the lame excuses his supporters invented about what he actually meant.

I'm so sorry you're dealing with that kind of pain, Ann. I've watched my spouse deal with chronic pain for years and know how it grinds a person down. Worse yet when medical staff don't understand the enormity of your pain. 😓

A Stoic Gardener @varied-thrush.bsky.social · 08/10/2026

I do indeed. I donated to a sheriff candidate in another county who was up against a real creep. She later sent me a personal thank you note. 😍

Mine came as a direct deposit. I'd rather it had gone to someone who needed it more.

Yeah, I'm resigned to not getting my wishes. In the meantime I'll be voting and protesting.

One thing he definitely can't do is to regain whatever popularity he inexplicably used to have. He's injured and offended many of the dolts who used to like him without ever gathering new supporters.

Way too late. He's their albatross now.

He's already becoming radioactive. I hope he lives to see everything he has wrecked get restored.

The only good thing about this: their loot won't afford them a moment of peace or happiness. Their greed is a disease.

Pfft, he never pays for anything. Anyone who believes it is chronically misguided.

I want him to witness his name being removed from everything, see the Rose Garden and East Wing restored, and for him to spend at least a few months incarcerated.

Happy to say, I don't know who the heck he is.

Thankfully, we now have stubs that allow us to track the receipt of our ballots! I believe Washington State's system is highly reliable.

A Stoic Gardener @varied-thrush.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

If we make it through this one, states need to renovate their voting systems, taking inspiration from CO, WA, and other states that use paper ballots. It's infinitely better not to stand in line and vote on a machine.

Ooh, even some Republicans! Which ones unglued their lips from his yard-wide caboose for long enough to comment on it?

A Stoic Gardener @varied-thrush.bsky.social · 07/10/2026

If he could have them target only liberals, he definitely would. He tried to steer the covid pandemic to kill more of us but because his supporters are such dimwits, the opposite happened.

I had to verify for myself this morning that he actually said this depraved thing. It seemed completely beyond the pale, even for him. His oath of office meant nothing, just the usual lying words spewing from his gross mouth.

Oct. 6, 1926: The grand dragon of the Ku Klux Klan in Michigan is charged with violating the state’s law against masked demonstrations by wearing full hood and robe at a KKK parade. George Carr will go free after a jury deadlocks on the charge.

I'm so very grateful for our regional public library. Browsing their special category for banned and challenged books gives me hope.

This hurts so much, I'm trying not to think about it. It's one thing when he destroys things that can conceivably be replaced, but living things cannot.
