    We do seem to be heading into a new dark age brought on by Trump, so I guess it fits.

      Well let’s check our notes, while president withheld weapons from Ukraine that they were asking for as defense, made a deal with Taliban releasing all the fighters the US had captured, ordered the total and complete withdrawal from Syria to Russian troops, stacked the courts with dubious judges, gave tax cuts to rich people and impacted the middle class the worst, went into an insane trade war with china and Europe causing impacts in several transforming industries…and that’s just from the top of my head

    My mother posted this unironically to her Facebook feed. Said ‘we need to eclipse the bad guys’.

    Times like this I wish I was still talking to her and she knew I was queer.

      Ugh, same. I broke all contact with mine a little before the pandemic and now a tiny part of me will always be dying to know how deep into the cult she sank.

        It’s the reason I still stalk her Facebook lol

        I broke contact with my mom 2 years ago on my birthday when she (middle school dropout) decided to tell me I (a college grad who learned how to research validity and reliability of various claims and sources) am a gullible fool for taking the Covid vaccine and that I needed to get on YouTube to do my research. It was the final straw of disrespect piled on a thousand other small things.

        I don’t miss her.

    “I propose that we, and this is a very smart idea, privatise the sunlight. I know some very good people, some very smart investors, who can make the sun become profitable. We’ve got the best engineers, and these engineers - who are very smart, not a single one of them is a democrat, they are building this huge dish that we will put in orbit over the USA. It’s going to block out most of the sun - you’ll get a little bit, a little bit of sun, because we’re that generous - but that big stupid ball in the sky needs to turn a profit. You know, I really think that nuclear mogul Mr Burns fixed this problem a long time ago, but democrats were too stupid to listen.”

    It’s clearly trump… or is it the third guy from the left on the evolutionary chart?
