The same people who screamed about the (non-existent) Deep State are, in fact, trying to creating a Deep State.

Good morning, BlueSky fam. Remember to take care of yourself. Turn off the news/ social media when you need to, do something nice for you, hug your loved ones, know that itβs the small things that add up to the big things, that the pendulum always swings, and one day this admin will be gone
Dozens of photos to sort through on my camera but I liked this one on my iPhone two blocks from home π€·π»ββοΈοΏΌ

Didnβt expect rain when I left the office, but I still wandered around taking scores of photos. They probably all suck, but honestly it was a great little #photographic learning experience π·π

low-angle photograph of the granite Agriculture statue in the Chicago Board of Trade plaza. The classical female figure, dressed in draped robes, gazes forward with a calm expression while a pigeon sits perched atop her carved stone hair

She survived demolition, a mysterious disappearance, and decades in a suburban forest preserve. A pigeon on her head? No problem

If China is willing to take Taiwan by force, now is their opportunity.
But truth is they care far far more about international opinion than the Trump regime does. Face it, we are the colonialists
Now that he want to be governor he decides to take action
Too bad he facilitated this shit showβs rise to power at every freakin turn
Heβs going to launch a nuke, isnβt he?
What does the betting market say on him nuking somewhere this year?
They literally spent the past 4-plus years blasting Biden over the withdrawal from Afghanistan and how "rushed" it was.
Republicans spent 17 months on Benghazi because 4 Americans were killed.
Itβs been 3 days and Trumpβs illegal Iran attack has already gotten 6 American soldiers killed. He promises more will die soon. And Republicans donβt care.
To be clear, weβre agreed that there is a confirmed ambassador to France, right?
Huh?
The fate of the Iranian people has never been of great concern to American administrations, and this one is no exception
