@MikeCarlton01 It’s so sad, not to mention frightening. I’m watching the Hulu series “Babylon Berlin” on SBS OnDemand, and I just finished reading “Berlin Finale” by Heinz Rein. If Americans don’t want their country to finish up a smoking wreck, they’d best defeat Trump and his fascists.

@HazelAppleyard_ I believe it did, and you just lost a follower. I’m a TERF who supports other women.

So the scumbag who pleaded the 5th 75 times, who was responsible for the largest Medicare fraud in American history will be made Senate Majority Leader and will oversee cutting Medicare and Medicaid.

This is going to be unwatchable.

I thought this was satire at first. But no.

This woman (LARPing as male) actually had a PANIC ATTACK on an airplane because someone was wearing a “woman” t-shirt.

This is why you’ll never be a man. Real men don’t have panic attacks over seeing someone wearing a t-shirt. 🤦‍♀️

@Dr_BellaR Had to look up “bellend.” 🫢

A little story if you dont mind. I once owned a business. One day myself and a white employee were going to a client's home in a city called Livonia (Mi). We were driving down a main street going west. A police car was going east.

The cop looked over at us as we passed. I told my white employee that we're about to get pulled over. Sure enough, the cop whipped a u-turn, hit his lights, and pulled up behind us.

My employee was a little shaken and asked, what did you do, Mr. Ross? I said, nothing. The cop asks for the usual. I asked him, "Why did you stop me?" He said your brake lights are out. My employee blurted out, "That’s Bull $h*t Mr. Ross!!! How did he see your brake light while he was driving towards us?"

The officer saw my fire department badge when I gave him my driver's license and didn't pursue his ruse any further and let me go. He was fishing. Hoping to find a black guy driving dirty. When the cop pulled away, we checked my brake lights, and they were fine.

I told my employee, "You've just witnessed, "Driving While Black." It's a real thing.

The richest neighborhood in Wilmington, a community called Landfall, passed a HOA policy a few years ago to require contractors provide proof of citizenship for every worker and my buddy Cole who does countertops said every job site stopped for 3 months so they had to reverse it

BREAKING: Trump names Casey Anthony as Director of the Department of Child and Family Services.

@Philosophi_Cat @Matthewtravis08 “A few things he didn’t like”??? The stranded motorist used racist and misogynistic slurs. You can’t stop others from being ignorant and hateful, but you can refuse to engage with them.

@FuukTwitar I learned in Kobe 30 years ago from a Japanese housewife that you not only have to wash the rice, but it has to make a certain sound when it hits the side of the bowl. That was when I decided life was too short to learn Japanese cooking. (I really miss Japanese food!)

[Damaan, AKA 'Philly's Finest!' @Damaan4u33]

I never thought that I would ever say I am ashamed of being an American, but that day has arrived! Does this resonate with anyone else besides me?

[Lady Diazepam @michelleheeter]

@Damaan4u33 Yes. When I was an adolescent, Ronald Reagan was president, so I was embarrassed to be American. I left the country in 1989 after graduating university. Best decision ever. Fortunately, I have citizenship in my adopted country. And I have universal healthcare, too!

If you voted for Donald, don’t you dare thank a veteran for their service today. You voted to eliminate VA Hospitals & Clinics, to slash benefits for disabled Veterans, & to eliminate Veteran jobs in the federal workforce. You’re not welcome for our service. #VeteransDay

[Rick Taylor @OhRick4]

My Aunt called asking about Thanksgiving plans

During the conversation she mentioned she voted for Trump

I told her my home is not open to traitors and I would not go to theirs. I have no space in my life for those who could care less about the United States

Shes upset

FAFO

@kimberly_raboin Hello from a former Michigander. I left the USA in 1989 after graduating from MSU. Just sick over the election outcome. Greetings from Australia, where we have universal healthcare.

Good luck

@RachelBitecofer Further material for you: “Babylon Berlin,” an amazing German TV series showing the years leading up to the Nazi takeover, and “Berlin Finale,” a 1947 novel by Heinz Rein about the last months of WWII.

I would rather have been wrong.
