"Love thy #TrumpVirus as you'd love your (once Christian) self."

King Don's version "Hate is love", etc. #truth is fake - Christians and soldiers are suckers, women deserve nothing if they're not a 10 &/or kissing his ring....

We are living in times easy to invoke the image of a living Devil drawing a #cult of hate, intolerance and selfishness (#GQP / #MAGA) and rejecting #respect for fellow (wo)man and historical gains bringing life and spirit to an evolving humankind.

An alternative conversation...

Well, it happened… Now what?

https://x.com/i/broadcasts/1kvJpbbEzZoKE

For many, it's become too painful to watch anything at all on the TV ... lists of one evil act after another.

Flooding our zones - for years past, and newly recharged and weaponized.

This from Meidas Touch, for some #Context And #Perspective - Sorry, it's embedded in #Muskville (this video)

So, they're eating the dogs! Eating the cats - and THEY (the #GQP #TrumpVirus #disinformation cult) are eating the oxygen of #truth

Let's try something else ...

Someone just shared this classic #music

Nice choice. Timely.

And here is what Trump actually did, the “focus” & priorities of Sir #TrumpVIrus and his #cult of #disinformation - driven by #narcissim #ego #ignorance & #petty concerns of #revenge etc...

https://www.npr.org/2025/01/20/g-s1-36809/trump-pardons-january-6-riot

First thing we do? Celebrate traitors, rioters, & the sedition of #Jan6 - Call them "hostages" /"patriots", & rewrite history to paint Jan 6 as a great day for America, a testament to the public love for Sir Stable Genius the Perfect, after his brilliant handling of #TrumpVirus

Yin/yang of pardons

If only this were true! … We can now speak #truth, right here, there, and everywhere! Without fear of #TrumpVirus retribution?

Nah… just kidding. This (link to article below) is what Trump actually did, his “focus”, and priorities being in celebrating Sir #TrumpVIrus & his #cult of #disinformation #media following of #Jan6 #felons & #truth deniers.

Sad day for #democracy, #environment, #rights, and #truth - but hey, laugh, clowns, laugh...

Cartoon by Mike Luckovich

Amid a #GQP / #TrumpVirus #media/#disinformation #cult - it is important

to stay 'woke' to #truth & maintain #hope

[#]Sanity / sobriety will somehow return, and with that some restoration of #respect for #law & #Wethepeople without billion$ or delusions that anything Sir StableGenius tries to sell.

[#]TrumpVirus #psychopathology

"I'm immediately withdrawing from the ... Paris Accords 'ripoff'!!" - TrumpVirus, Day One, bragging also about his environmental record

"Tariffs is the most beautiful word". "God is # 1 Religion # 2 Love # 3 And then #4, tariffs'

No more censoring Americans... Pardoning "hostages" (Jan 6 traitors/rioters) "We're not going to put up with that crap any more"

"Every single day we get subpoenas... more than Alfonse Capone".

"Deranged Jack Smith...He's sick"

‘Sheep for hire’: Trump, Musk and Zuckerberg’s dangerous plan for Europe

https://www.france24.com/en/europe/20250117-sheep-for-hire-trump-musk-and-zuckerberg-s-dangerous-plan-for-europe

The [EU] has long been one of the safest digital spaces for internet users. But that was before Donald Trump’s imminent return to the White House and before two of today's tech titans – Elon Musk and Mark Zuckerberg – were essentially handed carte blanche to declare war on the EU’s digital defences.

Cartoonist Clay Jones does wonderful work, colorfully channeling the political vibe of the day. Ironic - and/or sad - that such a great talent remains planted on Ground "X", even seeing so clearly who the keeper of the sandbox is.

Maybe he needs it (for syndication etc.?)

I've urged him to try Mastodon, and now I'm thinking he would be well appreciated by large numbers @ Bluesky, where George Takei just hit 1 Million subscribers after leaving Twitter/X.

Facebook, too, can be abandoned.

I'm not often impressed by - or necessarily in agreement with - "Best albums", or best 10, or best ever albums/songs, rank-ordered...Even pre-A.I !

So I'll not quibble or comment on Dylan's "best" among so many to choose from that left indelible memories &/or revelations even, from his faucet of genius. But sharing this as it's both thoughtful and just full of samples!

https://screenrant.com/bob-dylan-albums-1960s-ranked-list/

How does it feel? As we enter a "complete unknown" era? (Or is it?)
