Tell me again where Christ said “use the commemoration of my birth to flex violent weapons for personal political gain”?
lol @ all the years Republicans spent on cultural hysteria of society “erasing Christmas and it’s meaning” when they’re doing that fine all on their own

Now that everybody's on the story I was begging them to cover for 3 yrs - Trump not leaving - I'm actually less worried about it. He fucked up so bad even the "rough ppl" he was counting on might not back him.That's the bright side of your country hitting rock bottom - Happy 4th!

@ellle_em I dont know if I agree this is the case 100% of the time. I have a cat who will go from not being touched and laying in their bed to walking up to you to bite your hand.
@whatgrandmawore It looks later 1860s with the more elliptical shape transitioning into an 1870s bustle. Also, you can see where the skirt has had gores added in the back which could take it 1850s to 1870s. I do agree the bodice is very 1850s with the pointed front, pagoda sleeves, and trimming.
