@LasVegasFurCon have you guys figured out whether or not there will be a dance comp this year? Wondering if I should prepare a routine or not.👀

I, like many of you, have been contemplating our predicament since election night. We are in a losing war for our democracy and I'm not sure we collectively know who our true adversary is. It's not the voting blocks...white women, Latinos, Gen X. It's not MAGA. It's not even Trump. It's an insidious power that has been hiding in the shadows for some time...and when the stakes were at their highest in this election, it fully revealed itself. The American Oligarchy. They control our Supreme Court, much of Congress, and the flow of information to the masses via legacy, mainstream and social media. They decide the national conversation, how to keep us at each other's throats while they continue to amass wealth and power completely unchecked. They put their thumbs on the scale of justice and poured billions into this election. They chose Trump because he was desperate and would capitulate to their demands. They chose a running mate to replace him in case he became too unhinged to control. Consider how many disqualifying facts about Trump never saw the light of day...or didn't get the attention they deserved...or got drowned out by propaganda. They took a mentally spent buffoon and presented him as a hero to the masses. Despite Biden successfully steering us out of a global recession and strengthening our economy, they maintained the national tone about the price of groceries being too high. Despite Trump's obvious mental decline, their media outlets remained reticent to press the issue. We struggle to unite as a nation because they're too good at keeping us divided. We are drowning in disinformation because they control all of it. They have successfully created imaginary villains for us to fight...each other. It seems like we are a democracy careening towards fascism, when the reality is they're using the specter of fascism to keep us on edge while they turn America into a compliant oligarchy. Whether you are a democrat, republican, independent or MAGA, we have a common foe. Some of us just don't know it yet.

The horror that is to come, according to someone who actually knows JD Vance. 😳👇

MAGA fascists have no fucking idea of the hell that is coming their way. 🎯🎯🎯👇

@KaridasOnMane Prepare for THE DADDENING, pup. It's going to be glorious~

I made it to 31... Gay death survived... 🎂

This gentleman is spot-fucking-on. 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯👇

Why would the world’s richest man be f*cked if Donald Trump loses?

@AriuSins ...So your favorite Echo character is Flynn, obviously?

Ahhhh, home sweet home.

Politics and the Fandom

Hey @KamalaHarris I found the perfect song for your prospective victory speech. No need to thank me, just please do it. Seriously, please. Pleeeeeease. We need this~ 🥹 youtu.be/Ci_M-DIkpeE?si…

I don’t really do endorsements. I’m not shy about sharing my views, but I hate politics and don’t trust most politicians. I also understand that people want to hear from me because I am not just a celebrity, I am a former Republican Governor. My time as Governor taught me to love policy and ignore politics. I’m proud of the work I did to help clean up our air, create jobs, balance the budget, make the biggest infrastructure investment in state history, and take power from the politicians and give it back to the people when it comes to our redistricting process and our primaries in California. That’s policy. It requires working with the other side, not insulting them to win your next election, and I know it isn’t sexy to most people, but I love it when I can help make people’s lives better with policies, like I still do through my institute at USC, where we fight for clean air and stripping the power from the politicians who rig the system against the people. Let me be honest with you: I don’t like either party right now. My Republicans have forgotten the beauty of the free market, driven up deficits, and rejected election results. Democrats aren’t any better at dealing with deficits, and I worry about their local policies hurting our cities with increased crime. It is probably not a surprise that I hate politics more than ever, which, if you are a normal person who isn’t addicted to this crap, you probably understand. I want to tune out. But I can’t. Because rejecting the results of an election is as un-American as it gets. To someone like me who talks to people all over the world and still knows America is the shining city on a hill, calling America is a trash can for the world is so unpatriotic, it makes me furious. And I will always be an American before I am a Republican. That’s why, this week, I am voting for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz. I’m sharing it with all of you because I think there are a lot of you who feel like I do. You don’t recognize our country. And you are right to be furious. For decades, we’ve talked about the national debt. For decades, we’ve talked about comprehensive immigration reform that secures the border while fixing our broken immigration system. And Washington does nothing. The problems just keep rolling, and we all keep getting angrier, because the only people that benefit from problems aren’t you, the people. The only people that benefit from this crap are the politicians who prefer having talking points to win elections to the public service that will make Americans’ lives better. It is a just game to them. But it is life for my fellow Americans. We should be pissed! But a candidate who won’t respect your vote unless it is for him, a candidate who will send his followers to storm the Capitol while he watches with a Diet Coke, a candidate who has shown no ability to work to pass any policy besides a tax cut that helped his donors and other rich people like me but helped no one else else, a candidate who thinks Americans who disagree with him are the bigger enemies than China, Russia, or North Korea - that won’t solve our problems. It will just be four more years of bullshit with no results that makes us angrier and angrier, more divided, and more hateful. We need to close the door on this chapter of American history, and I know that former President Trump won’t do that. He will divide, he will insult, he will find new ways to be more un-American than he already has been, and we, the people, will get nothing but more anger. That’s enough reason for me to share my vote with all of you. I want to move forward as a country, and even though I have plenty of disagreements with their platform, I think the only way to do that is with Harris and Walz. Vote this week. Turn the page and put this junk behind us. And even if you disagree with me, vote, because that’s what we do as Americans. vote.org

Irrigating your ear canals and suddenly being able to hear like a safecracker is the pinnacle of "disgustingly satisfying". 🫠

I have never heard Obama speak like this.

@PUPPINcaeks And yet something rare and beautiful sprouted from those ashes, regardless. 🩷

@splash_husky @arrowt Most romantic relationships eventually end (70% in the first year), and even about 50% of marriages end in divorce (in countries where it's an option). As for "defying the odds": To achieve an outcome only 1% achieve, you will need to do things that 99% of people aren't. 😉

@DatSilverDoggie @arrowt What do you mean improbable or defy the odds?

Romantic, to me: ❌: "I'll love you all my life, and for all time" ✅: "The future is unknowable, but I love you with all my heart right now, and that's the most important thing" I will love with all I have, but love is not unconditional. I enjoy hearing that acknowledged. 🥰

@splash_husky @arrowt Not fake! Just statistically-improbable, which means you have to find a way to defy the odds! It won't be what you expect it to be, but even if something good eventually fails, it's often just something to prepare you for the next thing, different and greater. ;)

@DatSilverDoggie @arrowt But what if I want someone to be my soulmate for as long as I shall live? Is that all fake then??
