Truly heartwarming to see the fragile straight brigade gather ten deep to celebrate their profound courage inโ€ฆ checks notesโ€ฆ doing absolutely nothing except throwing a tantrum over rainbows.

Between the folding chairs, monster energy drinks, and โ€œhetero prideโ€ tank tops bought on Afterpay, this really felt like a medieval cosplay of relevance. May their next event feature a live reading of Leviticus followed by a group therapy session on why no one invites them to parties.

Blessed be the flop. It builds character.

A real hetero festival? That is really pathetic. No wonder they are such hateful pervs. The picture you showed-who was the band? Not that it really matters but you'd think that they would be embarrassed to show up and play for these terrific little wusses.

And just on the other side of it all, WAPO had an article today entitled "What do MAGA women really want?" I guess they interviewed several of them at a recent turning point conference. The frightening thing about the picture they showed was that many of these ladies were young and attractive. I couldn't bear to read it so I didn't.

Sorry about your father. It's so difficult. My neighbor, who I dearly love and have known now for 15 years, was just diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. His plans are (were) to retire in April and return to New Orleans. He came here after Katrina because his home was destroyed in the flood but his siblings still live there. I don't know anything now.

Too many gone this year and I'm still here.

Peace and clarity to you. ๐ŸŒน๐Ÿ™

These are the very people that voted in Trump and his Nazi MAGA Party.

A couple of suggestions:

1.) start a "write-in campaign" to all Democratic House and Senate Member - at all political levels:

--- stating that if they want to get reelected: - they stop with the " institutionalized / 'warm and fuzzy' comrade-ship they presently have with their "Republican Party Collegues".

2.) start a campaign to "impress / burn into their brain" a single fact on the forehead of every present and near past Military Leadership,, and it is this:

--- had George Washington held that he couldn't do anything because no matter who's in Office - "he or she is the Boss" - is not Law -- it's a Military "tradition".

This Country would not exist had Washington done what their doing:

--- hiding behind a self-declared tradition - rather than honor the oath they all took to protect the Country; it's Constitution / and it's people - from harm from 'without and within':

--- which is the case.,

I.E. tell thme to get some balls and do what's necessary - just tell Trump "No" - We're not going along any longer / put Hegseth into a Military cell at supermax - for a teste of reality / "stand down the troops" / and let it be known that any idiot that tries anything -- will be going against the US Military.

remember you can't be everything for everybody and chose what feels right to you when you want to help out with your dad. Being over stressed and exhausted will not help you or anyone else. I'm sorry you have to experience this right now. It is hard. hope your bride is doing better and you are too
