Boring middle-aged white guy who learned how to be progressive by having 'net friends all over the world; from Norway to Tokyo, London, Mauritius and Minsk. Americans are largely broken socially and I've had years of other people asking me, "what the hell is going on over there?!?"

Dear Diego (Dan) Piraro, Please redo this one with Donald Trump's visage for the central character. Thank you. The World.
Word.
I had to actually dial the phone and chat with an old acquaintance about business today and he went into his spiel about Covid fraud and vaccine fraud and election fraud and Blue Lives Matter and it became obvious to me why his business has rapidly decayed to the tune of over 6 figures in the last 18-24 months. And that reminded me to remind you: (I call it "Blue Lies Matter" even though it comes from Red cake holes.)
It bears repeating every now and then:
Worth sharing again as I am mindful of some people in the world who are hurting today. Peace be with you, always. Be kind to others. Some are fighting battles you know nothing about.
On my mind this morning: "The Terribly Tiny God of MAGA Christians"
This is your monthly reminder that Donald Trump is to American politics what the Baby Jesus Butt Plug is to American religion. Teasing out the humor, the philosophy, the nuance, and the cold, hard facts of this statement are left as exercises for the reader. Observations are, of course, welcome in the comments below. Boosts and re-toots appreciated. Having only twelve months left until the next presidential election this bears repeating.
And it bears repeating again today: "Blue Lies Matter"
Food for thought. I wanted to share this one again (originally from FB long ago, I believe) because I had to explain to a distant (ie: Trumper) friend that most conservatives and many Republicans simply don't see (or refuse to see) this truth in the world today, and it sort of set up shop in my brain. Be kind. Be tolerant. Believe in peace and hope and positivity. Always.
