I count 6 errors in Kyle's short tweet.
1) "a ongoing": wrong article
2-3) "this a attack": wrong article again, & missing the verb "is"
4) "there life": should be "their"
5-6) his last 2 sentences are both run-ons.
He almost makes 🍊 look like a "stable genius" 🍊 says he is.
Standing in front of a US Navy ship on Memorial Day this sorry son of a bitch promises to destroy the lives of Americans who disagree with him politically. Just a compete and utter piece of crap.
“Bring Nancy Pelosi out here now. We want to hang that fucking bitch. Bring her out.”
Pauline Bauer set to be sentenced tomorrow. Government seeking 6.5 years.
Judge Trevor McFadden was very frustrated by Bauer lying on the stand, and was be open to an upward departure.
BREAKING: There are reports of a mass shooting on Hollywood Beach in Florida. According to CBS, at least seven people were shot and some of the victims are young children.
Permitless carry became law in the state in April.
I disagree with her politics, but I wholeheartedly admire and respect her for being courageous enough to sever her ties to her lying, fascist, former party.
Liz Cheney to Colorado College graduates: "My fellow Republicans wanted me to lie. They wanted me to say the 2020 election was stolen, the attack of Jan. 6th wasn't a big deal, and Donald Trump wasn't dangerous."
The U.S. "cannot remain a free nation if we abandon the truth."
Yeah, he definitely saw the GOP would be much easier to scam, much more amenable to fascist autocracy.
Nominally he was Democrat, but I say he really never was because he has no central moral core at all. I say he has only been a 🍊ist since that's the ONLY thing he cares about.
"Ignorance is a comfort to some in a dynamic and confusing world; more and more the powerless are being sold a false sense of hope based on nothing more than the cheap and quick dopamine hit of what anger does to the human mind."
That paragraph is a perfect analysis. 👍🎯
In light of recent events, I have concerns about both Walmart & Target. I won’t speak to the specifics of those concerns, here, as I don’t want to give anyone any ideas. I would ask, though, that when you go in either to shop, just like you would anywhere else, that you keep your head on a swivel.
When I go in somewhere, my wife will tell you, I like to know where ALL the exits are. I also like to take a peek and see what areas would provide cover…as well as alternate routes for possibly getting behind a potential attacker, and knowing what areas have items I could find improvised items to distract, interrupt or stop an attacker.
It may seem like a bit over the top. But ask someone who had that kind of an awareness and was able to survive an attack because of it…how over the top they thought it was, when things suddenly turned south.
When the shit hits the fan, I want to be the predator, not the prey. I want to take out the shooter, at that point. It’s easier for that possibility to exist, if you’ve gathered a little information in your first 3-4 minutes inside of any store you’ve never been in before.
“Just be careful” means absolutely nothing, unless it involves DOING something specific. To do something, you have to know WHAT things to do, and how. I’ve given you 2-3, here. Learn even more…for anywhere you may be.
Be aware. Please.
The Trump campaign once sold pride merchandise too:
“Show your support for the LGBT community and the 45th President with this exclusive Make America Great Again Pride T-shirt.”
There’s something very important that I’ve been thinking about for some time. It’s something I’ve both experienced in my life, and, watched many other people experience.
If you aren’t prepared for it, it can drop you to your knees in an instant. You find yourself on the floor, certain you’re going to lose your lunch…right there and then. Hopelessness engulfs you. A massive wave of fear is right behind.
Fortunately, if you know about this phenomenon, and how to prepare yourself for it, you can glide through pretty much unscathed. You’ll get knocked around a bit, and come out with some scratches, yes…but you’ll have a smile on your face and still have your sense of humor intact.
What am I talking about?
Sooner than some might believe, Donald Trump is going to be indicted on the heaviest of charges. By both the DOJ & in Georgia. When that happens, a wave of elation will wash across the nation. Our hearts will feel lighter, warmer, & our faces will reflect the long awaited relief. Make no mistake, it’s going to feel like we’re walking on air for a bit.
However, as it always does, that feeling will begin to wane. If it was at a 10, it will make it’s way down to 9, 8, 7….and finally get stuck around 4-5.
At that point, we won’t even be aware of the feeling any longer. Everyday life events will once again hold the biggest part of our attention.
It’s just like that thing you been wanting to purchase for months, maybe even years. When you want it…and while you’re waiting during those months until you can afford it, you feel excitement flooding through your body every time it comes to mind. You might pull it up online, and look at it every day, thinking about how wonderful it will be when you have it.
During this “wanting & waiting” stage dopamine fills us to the brim with these spectacular feelings. It’s a slice of Heaven. What many have never learned, however, is that as soon as the UPS or FedX folks deliver it to our door, the dopamine hydrant shuts down soon after.
It’s great….for a while. But then, we find ourselves not having picked up or used this thing we wanted so badly for so long. That thing that filled us with joy at one time, now sits in the corner.
I’m telling you, now….the very same thing is going to be experienced soon after Trump is indicted. It absolutely will. It’s biology, physiology, neurology & psychology…all rolled into one. If you are a human being, it will happen to you. It will.
If you know it ahead of time-and having read this far, you do now-it won’t knock you dead on your ass when it happens. Oh, you’ll feel the drop in your enthusiasm, for sure…maybe even a light funk, BUT….you won’t panic. You’ll have the ability to recognize that you’re feeling the way you are wired to feel. Interestingly, that alone can elevate you a bit once again.
This is so critical. Otherwise, you’ll get depressed, dejected and start craving a boost….and then BOOM, some “bad” news comes while you’re in this stage, and it devastates you. You weren’t ready. You can’t afford to be in that place.
Accept it today. You are going to experience this dopamine plummet. Embrace it. Expect it. Welcome it. It’s the human experience. Let it remind you that you are a human being, and that human beings experience this.
If you do that, you’ll stay in the fight. You’ll be stable when the next round of “bad” news comes raining down. You’ll be resilient. You’ll stay flexible. You will…keep fighting to save democracy.
Save this message, and read it once a day for a week. I think you’ll be shocked at how your attitude shifts and how much more resilient you become.
***This message is in honor of the fallen. Let’s honor them, by living and fighting in a way they’d be proud of.
At the risk of being too earnest, may I say that DeSantis's boasts that he "will destroy leftism in this country" and "Florida is where woke goes to die" are creepy? I'm neither Left nor woke, but in a free country, individuals and groups do have a right to be Left or woke.
