"Rationalizing the irrational involves identifying underlying emotions, biases, or distorted thought patterns that drive illogical behavior. It is a process of uncovering the "why" behind irrational acts rather than just the "what" .. separating facts from emotional reactions and distorted beliefs."

Truth.

I find it to be very annoying when I have occasionally become associated with a group of the religious sort ... that I am regarded as anomalous or ill-educated or at risk of 'a life in limbo'. "Yes, yes, yes ... it is true, I don't believe in an invisible individual that isn't there."

Exactly!

If you can’t sack your demented, insane president are you even a democracy?

Yes Palestine, the current murder capital of the world orchestrated by both the US and Israel!

"I'm not defending Iran but ..." Why wouldn't she defend Iran or any nation that is being bombed and with children killed in their schools? What a chicken-shit comment for her to make!!

'Cause they really, really care ...

There be something about France ... lived there for four years.

Yup.

The transmogrification of state by the inevitable and redoubtable bonehead who never ceases to destroy and corrupt.

A lovely dream ... we're two feet of packed snow yet in the yard. A moose came in the night and left a deposit nearby the deck, a gift I suppose for the flowers yet to come. Good morning to you.

"You actually believe we came from monkeys?"

Yup and I have two veterans in the family (nephews), that are staunch conservatives ... just can't engage with them. Unbelievable.

Yup.

How did you get that picture of me haha?

"The power of stupidity is defined as a devastating, irrational force, often more dangerous than malice, characterized by actions that cause losses to others while providing no benefit—or even incurring losses—to the perpetrator ... considered to be unpredictable, abundant, and resistant to reason."

Actually I was surprised he didn't cancel the Artemis flight ... such an action would have been entirely consistent with his persistent denial and corruption of the declining "good/best of America".

Indeed and exactly. He and his pretended peerage, while busily corrupting and dismantling American society, is likewise destroying all external alliances save the one with Russia. Both trust/credibility have been casually cast aside with only his persistent and mindless daily babble to replace them.

... and remember to forget about the Epstein files ...

Cactus Beach on the Eyre Peninsula, South Australia. That’s sand, not snow. Good morning

Israel has become the nazi state that they claimed to despise ... theirs was the high ground as former victims but now has become the very monster that Hitler created so long ago.

So it is and so shall it be.

This is intolerable @vanhollen.senate.gov. The US government continues down this anti-democratic path at their peril.

NO KINGS SAN FRANCISCO Human Banner at Ocean Beach

A beautiful, a wonderful, a delicious moment in time and a world united because of one very horrible man.

Sadly Trump's capacity to understand is equivalent to his inability to care ...

Maybe, but we don't know that. I try to adhere to the talmudic exhortation - It's not incumbent on you to complete the work, nor are you excused from continuing it.

If I was tweeting this on Twitter the backlash would be immediate. It’s so refreshing to be on Bluesky. 🙋

A golden soother for the grown baby ... perfect!

When you use cash, refuse it as legal tender, make it an issue. If the store demands that you accept it ... refuse to buy the merchandise.

Exactly!

Begin to prepare for the use of force America ... if 'he' comes to recognize that loss is imminent, he will have no qualms in the use of it nor in the degree of force used.

Democracy is a dream about our collective tomorrows and about all of our shared yesterdays. It works best if we, the many, work constantly to support it and to fight the tyranny that is now occurring. Stand up and declare yourselves America and vote as if your life depends on it .. because it does!

President Zelenskyy has been formally nominated for the 2026 Nobel Peace Prize !!

I don't need to know the "how" of it ... it's enough to know the "why" of it.

A remarkable movie ...

"... and trump will come tumbling after."

It's almost like the trump regime is corrupt or something ...

I read that book a very long time ago and it seemed to me then that it was too far fetched to take seriously ... but of course "here we are."

... and the fact of it, that a qualified doctor would knowingly breach the fundamental tenets of the Hippocratic oath and so profit from a patient's decline and subsequent death ... that is an aspect that destroys trust in the overall system and represents a corruption that is beyond contempt.

The Rothschild raid just got bigger. French prosecutors say diplomat Fabrice Aidan transferred UN Security Council briefings to Epstein. Epstein had access to classified international intelligence. This is no longer about money. This is about state secrets

Sad.

#ODSP keeps the disable well below the poverty level, unhoused many and strips them of any rights… #DYK ODSP insists on copies of any bills & bank statements for the year? Info on any and all deposits and penalized assistance from family or inheritance? #nohumanity #nodignity

An utter monster by any measure.

Turns out that your "constitution" is just words on a scrap of paper which is now being torn up and thrown into the wastebasket of history. The words were lofty and memorable but without the presence of an American soul, become hollow and empty ... a sad but inevitable end it would seem.
