@lolgop Makes sense. On the rare chance that a woman accidentally allows him to impregnate her, he doesn't want it aborted.
@forestfern @Geoffberner We ought to shoot them all down or nudge them into decaying orbits.

"How bad were the billionaires?"
"Just one of them managed to ruin the sky for everyone. The sky."
@QasimRashid It doesn't have to make sense, and it doesn't. The rhetoric is all about making small-minded people feel warm and fuzzy.
@Balkingpoints Trump is a clumsy criminal, Harris is a skilled prosecutor. I wonder how this is going to turn out.

@cdarwin That's fine. If they keep this up, most Republicans will be in jail or prison. Not enough beds? We'll follow Republican sheriff Arpaio's system and house them all in the empty desert. Problem solved.

@neotoy@mastodon.social Hmm, yes. In the early 1980s I lived in a 2-1/2 story 17 room mansion, in West Los Angeles, built when it was the only house in the area in what is now called Mar Vista. 100% redwood, built in 1903, solid, immune to termites, immune to everything. Earthquakes caused some issues with the footings of ths house but it still stands today.
My father taught me about redwood back in the 1960s. Not easy to work with. You have to develop a feel for it. It's a very strange wood. Splinters are brutal. But insects won't touch it. Nothing touches it, from my observations.

A friend who still goes to the Nazi Bar shared this screenshot of a post there.
We have family & friends either still in the mountains or trying to get out. My stepdaughter's SIL next door neighbor found two bodies on their property yesterday. And the GOP is posing on the tragedy.

@lovelylovely That works fine.
Gilmour fans: this happened two days ago in Rome: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o6k4Y56dW8U
@freemo This post of his demonstrates that he's a social idiot, with utter lack of sensitivity to and awareness of points of view other than his own. And he posts it so that millions can see it without any concern.
You can choose to classify him as mentally ill or an idiot.
