Turns out the incompetent, stupid people running the government are actually more stupid and incompetent than we feared.

I am so horrified by the dismantling of USAID. I can't believe it. It is one of the most unchristian things that they have done. 💔

I'm not a lesbian and I find Trump and RFK Jr grotesque. How these women think either of them are charismatic or handsome is mind boggling. 🤮

Here’s who Marco Rubio is: when the Parkland school shooting happened I was living in Florida and had three children in high school. Naturally I was very upset about this horrific shooting. I decided to write to my senator (Rubio) to see if he would do anything to stop this awful violence. He never answered. Over the course of a year, I wrote over 100 letters to him. I never got any acknowledgment that he received these letters. He couldn’t even ask a staffer to email me some form letter about how concerned he was and how he was working on it. He never cared about Floridians and he doesn’t care about Americans.

Rubio looks like a guy that knows he sold his soul too cheap and is never getting it back.

I hope there are lawyers taking note of all the admissions of guilt

Her response is a perfect case of unaddressed trauma. All of that lack of response and excuses for horrific behavior is tied to flee, freeze, and fawn responses. This is why therapy is so extremely important.
