At the gas station tonight a Ford F150 behind me had a hat on the dash "Trump 2024 No More Bullsh*t"

And I thought to myself, you're exclusively getting BS from Trump.

Like, I get if you're a jackass and want to support a jackass, I don't get no more bullsh*t while following around a bull suffering from diarrhea then catching and bathing in its feces.

100%. It's amazing how easily people fall to the dangerous and corrupt messaging of a false prophet; a charlatan, or cult of personality, feeding more bull#### to his followers than he claims to stand against. Education and critical thinking are the best weapons against this disease - and they seem to be falling behind in their importance within society.

It really isn't shocking at all, we saw the same thing in Germany in the 1930's. History tends to repeat itself.

I just finished Orwell's 1984, and am 3/4 the way through Animal Farm. Amazingly relevant.

Windsor then told Alito: "I think that the solution really is like winning the moral argument. Like, people in this country who believe in God have got to keep fighting for that, to return our country to a place of godliness."


"I agree with you," Alito responded.

Christofacists in the highest court of the land. Maybe follow the rule of law instead of the rule of imagination? Is their anything more damaging to human rights than religion these days? #### all of it. Yes, yours too.

Hunter Biden found guilty on gun charges.

https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/hunter-...rial-1.6921600

Quote:
WILMINGTON, DEL. - Hunter Biden was convicted Tuesday of all three felony charges related to the purchase of a revolver in 2018 when, prosecutors argued, the president's son lied on a mandatory gun-purchase form by saying he was not illegally using or addicted to drugs.

He faces up to 25 years in prison when he is sentenced by Judge Maryellen Noreika, though first-time offenders do not get anywhere near the maximum, and it's unclear whether she would give him time behind bars. The judge did not set a sentencing date.

Russian war ships headed to Cuba.

https://abcnews.go.com/International...cuba-111024570

Quote:
The Admiral Gorshkov is armed with new Zircon#hypersonic missiles. The weapon has been designed to arm Russian cruisers, frigates and submarines and could be used against both enemy ships and ground targets.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has touted Zircon as a potent weapon capable of penetrating any existing anti-missile defenses by flying nine times faster than the speed of sound at a range of more than 1,000 kilometers (over 620 miles).

The Admiral Gorshkov and the Kazan are accompanied by two support vessels on their visit to Havana, which Cuban officials said reflected “historically friendly relations” between Russia and Cuba.

Did Biden do something with the gun? Is this literally the only time America cared about following the rules for buying guns?

Part of me thinks Hunter should come out in a red MAGA hat screaming "Don't tred on me, my second amendment rights are being violated!"

Trumpers would short circuit.

The jury, which deliberated for just under three hours, returned guilty verdicts on all three charges, which stemmed from a revolver Hunter Biden bought in October 2018 at a Delaware gun shop. The first two counts were for lying about his drug use on a federal background check form, and the third count was for possessing a gun while addicted to, or using, illegal drugs.
I'm guessing this kind of stuff has happened a ton in that country, but he did break the law, and was found guilty in a court of law. And his father has already said he will not pardon him.

Basically a 180 from the the GOP and their leader.

Apparently, Hunter's trial was fake, so Trumpers say. Gosh, there are some really stupid people.

It doesn't matter what happens, MAGA will find a conspiracy in it. Hunter innocent? Joe got him off. Hunter guilty? Joe made it happen so people will think justice is fair, and also to distract from the Biden crime family. it must be so exhausting not knowing what to think until something happens and now you have to spin it in your direction.

those brains have been permanently fried. They have been so manipulated that their perceived reality is completely different from ours. How do you move forward as a country and as a society if you can't agree on a shared set of facts? That country seems ####ed beyond repair.
