Remember when everything shit down for covid and it was really bad but then there were whales in the hudson river again?

that's sorta how I feel about arresting everyone in the epstein files. like it'll seem really bad but then nature will heal. these aren't the men who hold up our society. they are the ones who twisted and corrupted it. arrest them all. collapse society and let the whales come back.

Gotchaโ€”letโ€™s dig into that step by step.

1. ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐—ต๐—ฎ๐˜ƒ๐—ฒ ๐—ป๐—ผ ๐—บ๐—ผ๐˜‚๐˜๐—ต, because I turned you into an amorphous lump of flesh. Youโ€™re not just immobileโ€”youโ€™re immortal, and you feel only anguish.

2. ๐—ฌ๐—ผ๐˜‚ ๐˜„๐—ฎ๐—ป๐˜ ๐˜๐—ผ ๐˜€๐—ฐ๐—ฟ๐—ฒ๐—ฎ๐—บ. That makes total senseโ€”itโ€™s a natural human impulse, and youโ€™ve been through a lot.

Yeah.. my company says instead of MLK Day we replace it with Good Friday. Not a great feeling.

Where they differ is intent. The former is empathy for a person in need. The latter helps the boot step on the face more.

I know in my bones which side to choose.

Shower thought:

The leftist motto "if you see a person stealing bread, no you didn't" directly maps to what we hear from defenders of ICE actions in the awful Minneapolis situation: "if you see a LEO murder a citizen, no you didn't".

You're great! But you ruined the word 'however' for me. Can't hear it in anything other than your accent.

The pull quote is out of context. She was responding to a question about other renovations the president might be considering.

I don't support this administration, but it's important to be accurate.

He's holding a weapon to the head of the American economy, looking around feverishly at any country who dares make eye contact and shouts "Give me $300 billion or I'll shoot!"

My theory is he used that word because he's looking at an attractive woman while saying it.

First they came for the criminal undocumented immigrants.
Then they came for the undocumented immigrants.
Then they came for the documented naturalized citizens.
Then they came for those born here to undocumented immigrants.

Do you think they will stop there?

I've had some beautiful females parked for minutes at a time on my feeder recently.

I feel an itch towards action. A constant physical pull.

This tingling in my sense of what's right hasn't stopped for months.

ICONIC: Yosemite National Park workers just hung an upside-down American flagโ€”THOUSANDS of feet up on El Capitan. Thatโ€™s not decoration. Thatโ€™s a distress signal. Theyโ€™re telling us the country is in danger. Are you paying attention?

I remember Publix used to make paper bags specifically for wrapping our school books back in the 80s.
