@Jorsh It absolutely is. It defies the most important theme that runs throughout the entire Bible, Old testament and New.
Fortunately for ICE agents, the Bible and all that is a myth. But if I'm mistaken, and it's not a myth, boy are they in big trouble. Like really big trouble. Sodom and Gomorrah trouble. Because that's why God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah. It had nothing to do with gay men. Educate yourself.
@ChrisMayLA6 @claralistensprechen3rd This is true. Obvious from the moment the news story hit. I don't quite understand it.
My current theory is that he, or Kennedy or someone close to him had an experience with the cost of medications. Not that they couldn't easily afford it but they were shocked at the cost.
And it's true. I've lived for many years in Guatemala and hope to return. About 40 pharmaceutical companies have manufacturing facilities in guatemala.
About 20 years ago my best friend at the time needed a certain fourth generation antibiotic. He was paying $4 per capsule in the United states.. When he came to Guatemala he discovered the same medication could be had at any pharmacy for 25 cents a capsule. And the medication was fresher because it was manufactured in guatemala..
So there you go. There's some serious ripping off going on here.
@paleofuture.bsky.social Except, um, it's not a gift. Any idiot can see that. Not to mention that the USA doesn't need "gifts", especally something that we built in the first place.
This is not a gift, it's a grift.
Get it? No? I didn't think so.
Keep thinking.
When Elon Musk points the finger at Democrats for “importing voters,” remember that every accusation is an admission.

@inquiline I love cats. I have two. They are strictly indoor cats, partly because I love birds.

This is so funny. Everyone on the planet can see Trump’s blatant corruption. But when Trump is getting a USD 400 million plane from Qatar, even MAGA celebrity Laura Loomer can see there is a problem.
But here is the fun bit: She reacts, not because it is corrupt, but — and this is real — because Trump is accepting the bribe from Muslims. Had the bribe only been from Israel, or Russia or the American oligarchy, everything would have been MAGA approved.
They breathe culture war.
@randahl These people are stupid. She still doesn't get it. She still doesn't understand the person she is slavishly following. Unbelieveable.
@glynmoody Okay. Fine. Pour it on.
I don't like bullies.
Putin ought to know that bullies don't win. They ultimately always get beaten down.
What never ceases to amaze me is that anyone pays any attention to Russia. Russia has an economy equivalent to Spain's. They are a pipsqueak. (no offense fo Spain intended.) Why does the world pay any attention to them at all?
France alone could turn Moscow into a pool of molten sand. The loss of art and architecture would be terrible, but... Why does anyone put up with these people?
The whole scenario seems weird and fake to me. On the world stage, Russia is a nobody.
There is suffering everywhere you look, says mother of emaciated baby girl trapped in #Gaza - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/may/11/there-is-suffering-everywhere-you-look-says-mother-of-emaciated-baby-girl-trapped-in-gaza and that suffering is entirely due to #israel's use of starvation as a (failed) tactic against #hamas
@dtl Hahaha. Why not?
@dtl Yes, this is the fun part of antennas. RF and EM waves don't care if it's a lashup or not. They don't care if you spent $15,000 erecting a bunch of Rohn 35 tower sections or the equivalent in $5 worth of 18 gauge wire. They will perform the same.
Bahahahaha.

Our #SaveVOA Twitter/X social media account, run by a team of VOA News staffers silenced by USAGM since mid-March, was suspended this afternoon.
"If this seems familiar, it should. Trump has spent years conditioning his supporters to distrust any information that contradicts him while simultaneously demanding that media outlets simply parrot his version of events. It's the same playbook dictators have used throughout history: control the information landscape by making the truth whatever you say it is."

Steal $3 billion from your customers, you are a GOP star.
Via Robert Reich:
Two former Wells Fargo executives were fined $8.5M by the Biden administration for covering up the bank's infamous fake account scandal.
Trump just slashed those fines to a paltry $150,000 after Wells Fargo gave $1M to his inauguration.
See how this works?
