I debated whether or not to post the following, but fuck it, I am not sure how much longer I will be on this cesspool of hate and lies. Here goes: I feel a sense of profound sadness. Contrary to what Kamala told us, we don’t appear to have more in common with each other than we do in difference. Remember Covid? We were never unified in how we handled the pandemic. We won’t be unified in what comes next. Our original sin of slavery plagues us to this day. A majority of this country places more value on the color of your skin and your gender, than the content of your character. You are judged even before you open your mouth. We are more a collection of tribes than a unified people, all vying for power. MAGA is a tribe - a personality cult - and we just elected the cult leader our king and the highest court made him unaccountable. Soon, there will be only one tribe. United in hate and division. Conform or be cast out. I am a lifelong student of history, always have been. Therefore, a lifelong student of human nature. The times change, but human nature does not. What comes next, I do not know, but history suggests a calamity. We elected the most unscrupulous, unqualified, illiterate and sociopathic man possible because people get their information in silos and are largely spoon-fed lies and propaganda. Most of the population are ignorant of facts and economics - and they like it that way. Trump represents the worst of us, full of hate, greed and misogyny. He will purge the government of competence and, eventually, purge it of conscience. It will become a tool of retribution and an extension of his rotten soul. The tools of violence will be turned inward and trained on us all. Trump aligns himself, and us, with the worst actors internationally. America First will mean America Last. We will no longer be the reliable partner in peace and therefore no longer the reliable partner in conflict. The world abhors a vacuum. Without US leadership and stability, the world will erupt in fire and no one will be there to prevent the spread. The fire will reach our shores and it will be too late to do anything about it. We are all about to relearn the lessons of history, the hard way. Winter is coming, friends. Do what you can to survive it.

@CuriosityonX Thank you for sending Wemby to San Antonio!!! 👽🏀

If you could send a message to an Alien civilization, what would you say?

@MarkHertling @MSNOWNews @NicolleDWallace None better - wise choice, @MSNOWNews ! 🫡

Great to be a part of the @MSNOWNews team. Thanks for the kind words @NicolleDWallace, you’re the best.

@Mollyploofkins @Acyn I’m a little rusty, but it looks like he was copping a feel.

Stephen Miller: It’s just a husband’s natural reaction. What is any husband's instinct going to be, he's going to obviously put his body over his wife.

@MatthewModine Iconic scene and dialogue. Loved every part of this movie.

Shooting FULL METAL JACKET at Beckton Gas Works in East London. After serving as one of the largest gas plants in the world for over a 100 years, it was scheduled to be demolished in 1985. This is where Kubrick staged his Vietnam war. You can see the palm trees they had shipped in from Spain. Photo by Tony Hayes. Support the @FMJDiary project here: x.com/FMJDiary/statu…

@Acyn I’m sure the red hat made a lot of friends too.

Trump says the stock market under him has saved marriages: One policeman told me my wife thought very little of me. She felt I wasn’t a man under the Biden administration.

@skiistiredasf Amazing!!!

Meet Chase Matthews, a 2025 senior at Westlake High School in Georgia, was accepted into 155 colleges…. at least one in every U.S. state , earning a remarkable $6 million in scholarship offers. A shining example of excellence and determination! 👏🏾

“ Strand was found guilty of the felony charge of obstruction of an official proceeding, as well as misdemeanor offenses of entering and remaining in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly and disruptive conduct in a restricted building or grounds, disorderly conduct in a Capitol building, and parading, demonstrating, or picketing in a Capitol building.” justice.gov/usao-dc/pr/flo…

The Biden DOJ tried to give me 23 years. They told me to lie about J6—or lose everything. I refused. I fought back—and the DOJ finally vacated every charge. Now I’m taking that same fight to Congress so this can never happen to another innocent American again. Now is the time to make a difference. Help us WIN: secure.anedot.com/john-strand-fo…

@FarmerGuyDan @Fender NIIIICE!!!!

NGD! I know own a @Fender Stratocaster.

@LexNotAlex_ @BlakPantherBabe

Update: I did it! 🥹

@FarmerGuyDan My birth year guitar … never to be attained 🙁

This Fender Stratocaster was $350 in 1969. Adjusted for inflation, it would be $3,149 today. Just food for thought when we talk about the price of American made guitars nowadays.

@Evenscored Nice chicken pickin’, Mike!

Making some more clean presets. The real test will be with the front of house system.

@Sonderling47 @POTUS @USDOL @VP That’ll cover 1.2 days of this ridiculous Iran war and blockade.

Under @POTUS’ leadership, @USDOL recovered roughly $4.3 billion in unspent and unused COVID funds and returned it to the Treasury. As I serve on the @VP’s Task Force to Eliminate Fraud, we will continue restoring integrity in the Unemployment Insurance system, prevent fraud before it happens, and hold criminals accountable.

@SecMullinDHS @DHSgov That’s great … now go unclog the toilet on the second floor.

I want to thank every @DHSgov employee who showed up to Make America Safe Again during the Democrats longest government shutdown in our history. For 76 days, these Patriots defended our national security without a guaranteed paycheck. It is an honor to serve alongside them.

@Acyn Why stop at 18? Do I hear 180 Trillion?!?

Trump: 18 trillion now pouring into our country. Less than 1 trillion in 4 years. That's 18 times more, but think of it, it's really almost 100 times more if you really multiply it out properly

@FBIDirectorKash @FBINewark Four. Out of 150 million.

Today out of @FBINewark: Four individuals have been charged with illegally voting in federal elections and making false statements applying for U.S. citizenship. The individuals - all noncitizens - voted in elections including the 2020 Presidential election, 2022 midterms, and 2024 Presidential election cycles. More to come. Thank you to our investigators and partners for their great work in the case. @DAGToddBlanche

@Acyn Every accusation is a confession.

Trump says anyone running for president should take a cognitive exam because you could end being stuck with a moron for years. “I mean, you get a guy who gets in there, he's got a good line of crap. He gets in and all of a sudden you're stuck with a man who's a moron”

@symeew13 Just call me Deuce Tremolo

Let's see YOUR Strats tonight!

@atrupar Fuck you and the whore you rode in on.

Trump on NATO: "You're fired. They know they got problems. It was a paper tiger."

Y’all, I just read the saddest statement posted as a remark to a YouTube video about a couple leaving the United States permanently: “The new American dream is leaving America.”
