This is the best Jan. 6 article I’ve read all day. Thank you, God, assuming You exist, for Your many blessings. 🙌🏻

It’s the only one I’ve read. I just can’t take any more of this.

MzNicky, fancy meeting you here. What a day, eh?

Hey Hannah! I just started following God. (!) Still trying to figure out the whole Substack thing. Yeah, this day has sucked even worse than most days lately. Extra-hate this fucking timeline.

I hate it when you're pissed off. But you sure have a right to be. We all do... on this particular topic, at the very least.

I've only supported one of the companies on the list. I'm about to dump Amazon. I'll pay for my shipping from small businesses and larger ones that don't support the evil empire. Thanks for helping us know whom to vote against with our dollars.

Dropping Amazon as well! Even getting Roku vs Firesticks.

I dropped Amazon years ago when I read about how the Beast of Bezos exploits his workers. I mean, some of them need welfare assistance to survive, on top of being hounded at work, and the Beast has more $ than he could spend in a thousand lifetimes. And now you've got a government of these creatures.

I've been doing this for a while! Tired of the rich pocketing all that money when smaller businesses offer similar or same items for less.

Just what the world needs, a documentary about Quid Pro Ho. I may have to miss it.........

It is sadly becoming time to split this country into blue and red. Let the red states starve while they try to pay for their military with Trump Bitcoin! The military likes to be paid in the REAL THING. The blue states, without the burden of the $36+ trillion in debt, (Trump and Musky can keep that) can more than afford to pay the military! WE CAN FORM A 'MORE PERFECT UNION" WITHOUT LYING TRUMPERS!

Maybe you could arrange a thunderstorm on inauguration day and send some lightning down to the right person.....just a thought. The appropriate time would be when he puts his hand on the bible. I know you hate blasphemy. Thank you, God. Amen! Awomen!

I was thinking more like a blizzard. One thing they can't control is the weather. So either thunderstorm or blizzard would be wonderful!

I don't buy anything Amazon, and I don't use any Amazon services. I have never used an Uber. I do use Instagram, which is Meta. Most "MetaAI" people are scum of the earth copyright violators. The car companies, meh. Too lazy to actually innovate so they suck up to the trough. Anyway, I can't really afford it, but I thought I would subscribe so I could talk back to God.

I will NOT be watching the inauguration of the most evil, stupidest, and most corrupt adjudicated rapist and convicted felon in American history.

I will NOT be watching the documentary about the laziest, tackiest, greediest first lady in American history. Will she be destroying the Rose Garden again? Decking the halls with replicas of The Handmaids again? On a photo shoot during an attempted coup again?

How did this soulless white trash family of anti-American, anti-Christian, pro-fascism and FUGLY people ever get here?

Oh, yeah. anti-American, anti-Christian, pro-fascism, FUGLY racists worship them. A country of illiterate shitheads.

Could not restack this fast enough. It needed to be said, and you did just that

I will never forget or forgive their treason.

You know what other major historical event was attempted to be rewritten/erased by a government & political party? 1989 Tiananmen Square massacre in China. I’ll never forget the video of that solitary man stepping in front of a tank.

We might want to take a step in Tank Man’s shoes in the face of this oncoming horror circus of an administration. Be like Tank Man. Not CowHornHead Man.

"Memento Mori" is now used as meaning "remembering the dead". But that's not what it originally meant. In Roman times the Caesars had a slave riding behind them in their chariots, whispering "Memento mori. . ." in their ear. "Remember YOU must die" Just in case they started getting to big for their sandals.

We'd be obliged, God, if you could get one of your Angels, or maybe arrange a simple old every day hallucination of one, to constantly stand behind the old fool whispering that. Maybe adding "You're 79, you know!"

He may be able to avoid prison - but he can't avoid mortality. And I would bet that like most other demagogues he is highly superstitious. I wouldn't say it about anybody else (well, maybe an exception for Musk) but the thought of him spending his last few years shaking in his shoes at the thought of finally coming face to face with someone who CAN'T be lied to fills me with a great deal of pleasure.

Recently I watched the six episode Netlix series "Hitler and the Nazis: Evil on Trial", based on several of William L. Shirer's books, mostly The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich. It's is partly archival footage, partly recreations with archival audio, partly voice-over narration by Shirer -- except (if I read the opening stuff correctly) it's a recreation of his voice. That last part is kind of creepy, but the series is riveting. It could be Trump's playbook. The US has lasted more than 10 times as long as the Weimar Republic, but now, as then, the oligarchs were sick of that democracy crap and in Hitler/Trump they've found someone who will do away with what's left of it. And do away with progressive ideas (like accepting trans kids, immigrants, women), labor unions, and of course socialism or communism.

Hitler was a mediocrity, but his deranged speeches for the Nazi Party captured the listeners. They were perfectly fine with him characterizing Jews as subhuman, stupid animals, and on the other hand controlling the banks and thus global finance and industry. And of course on the third hand, promoting Bolshevism, which would... I could never figure out how that was supposed to work, but Hitler's followers never minded. They'd have eagerly drunk Clorox for him.

The Western powers were happy to let Hitler conquer and occupy the the resource rich industrialized nations so he could build up a force to destroy the USSR. The plan, I believe, was that Germany and Russia would destroy each other in that conflagration, and then the Allies could roll in and put friendly governments in place, in Germany and all the way to the east. Big surprise when the Soviets turned Hitler's army around and started pushing west -- if the US hadn't decided to join the European war, Stalin's troops would have pushed all the way to the Atlantic. What is the similar power that can save us now?

Thanks for the recommendation. I will watch that. I read the book as an 11 year old. It blew me away.

Trump was loose again exercising his ego on Canada today when Trudeau resigned. Why isn’t the media having some fun calling BS and smoking him out on how many states? Senators and Congressional districts? Call his bluff. He has the conceptual depth and factual grasp of a mollusk. Make him show how dense he is or make him insult a major NATO ally some more. Left and right coasts of Canada pure liberal (US definition) Between the coasts is mixed but the conservatives in Canada are sane (with some exceptions) .

Canada could fuck with him and say “4 states and same population rules in the house)” Trump would swallow his limited brain. He would have no idea what to say.

I personally have a deep fondness for mollusks. 🦪 on a plate, preferably although I have gone clamming.

I would categorize chump with single cell organisms.
