I was curious. How would 20 years of unfettered rule by maga in the USA compare to the quality of life in Finland - the happiest country in the world. So I asked ChatGPT. 1/

As Texastan ramps up their war on...art, I'd like to share Norway's most famous tourist attraction. 200 larger than life nude sculptures of granite, bronze and iron. If you find a breast or a penis horrifying, be sure not to travel to any Scandinavian country. vigeland.museum.no/en/vigelandp...

I keep hearing/reading that musk wants to increase his wealth. That is not why he is dismantling our democracy. Musk wants to take our country. It is a power grab. He is playing trump for the fool he is. And he’s playing the magats for the kool aid drinking cultist zealots they are.

Listening to Gov Pritzker’s speech yesterday, I am once again disgusted by our “governor” Abbott. Greg is as spineless and amoral as they come. Bought and paid for by billionaire zealots. Greg cloaks himself in a veil of faux righteousness while lining his pockets for his efforts. Pathetic.

Greg Abbot is an example of Texas Christianity at its finest. Hateful, divisive and vile. Take away the billionaires funding the zealot madness and you have nothing. If your religious goals are the goals of billionaire extremists, you may have strayed from the meaning of the words of Jesus.

At least Texas leads one category. Which state has the worst Attorney General? Texas. We have the worst AG in the country.

We certainly deserve what we have been handed. But, Ukraine, doesn't deserve what we've been handed. NATO, doesn't. Taiwan, doesn't. Europe, doesn't. Many will suffer because ignorance and zealotry won here. No country aspires to this level of idiocy. We look insane to the rest of the world

And, once again, the most unworthy of men will be handed a booming economy that was rescued and repaired by a Democrat. Make that make sense.

Fear Trump? Intimidated? Hell no. We are invigorated. Real women don’t fear or cower or dread. We get pissed. Intimidated? Oh fuck no. Bring it on maga.

Thinking about how amazing Texas could be if we had a governor with a fraction of the decency and backbone Pritzker has. Commander Abbot is a puppet for billionaire zealots. There is nothing that man won't do to our state for money, power or christian nationalist glory. He is an absolute horror.

The USA is currently in the “Too busy with religion” phase of history.

Shows two maps of Europe and the Middle East. One from 1024 and one from 2024.

Read another article about how Democrats are “assaulting” religion. I keep wondering who these religion assaulting Democrats are. I’ve never met one. Democrats don’t care if you are, or are not, religious. Religion all you want. Or don’t. We. Don’t. Care. We are simply busy being decent people.

Imagine Democrats in the majority in Texas. Ramming their compassion, equal rights, science, quality education and healthcare for all, clean air and water, freedom of and from religion through the legislature. Making our state a better place for ALL who call it home. Live and let others live.

I have listened to this book 4 times. It takes less than two hours to read or listen to. It’s brilliantly done. So clear. The people who could benefit the most from this wisdom will likely never read it. (Do they read much at all?) www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/558051...

Texas: Lawyers for Cowboys owner Jerry Jones say it is an “invasion of privacy” to require Jerry to complete a paternity test. “The government does not have the right to subject someone (read - rich white man) to genetic testing (read - cheek swab).” Also Texas: When was your last period?

Hey MAGA, since you all are so hot for a “Christian Nation”, here are some of the world's stellar theocracies: Afghanistan Iran Mauritania Saudi Arabia Vatican City (pop. 764) Yemen The zealots will not succeed. Meanwhile, the rest of the world watches us in horror. Get religion out of politics.
