@georgetakei Man, I used to respect the #USA It was cool, it was advanced, it was free and well... heroic. I remember #9/11 and how I, just coming back from the local WWII museum, cried in angry shock at what was done to you.

#Bush might not have been a statesman but his heart was right and he fought the good fight. I couldnt really believe it when #Iraq turned out to be an unjust war. That daddy issues an some manifest Destiny 'enlightend imperialism' was behind it. Took a few years but yeah I got it. Thought it was an aberation. The core was good and even Bush was at heart a decent fellow who made some really bad choices.

#Obama was oke, thought the Obamamania was a bit overkill as was winning the Nobel peace prize for being... president while black I guess. Still definitly a good man and a force for good in the world. Imperfect but good.

And then Trump 1. Damn what a shitshow. The vaunted rule of law, the sacred #democracy the respected institutions. It held after a genuine but oh so incompetently orchestrated self-coup.

#Biden was good. Tired and old but good and above all as decent and professional as you can expect a carreer politician to be.

Now this...

I hope my family over there make it.

But at least MAGA can now Hurt the evil trannies huh. I am trans and now I cry in angry shock at what you are.

The actions of the #Trump #regime make perfect sense when you realize that #Putin is calling the shots & has tasked #Trump & #Musk with destroying every part of the #USA that makes it better than #Russia.

Jeez .

Oops my bad, it seems that Jesus (according to paintings) had non conforming gender haircut .

Oh and fun fact nowhere in the Bible is it any physical description of Jesus ( height , hair color , eyes , skin color , ….)

The pro life party . My ass.

β€˜an eye for an eye’ expresses the principle of reciprocal justice and the earliest known use of the principle appears in the Code of Hammurabi (1750 BC )

This means that the victim receives the estimated value of the injury as compensation. The intention behind the principle was to limit the compensation to the value of the loss.

Oh and btw the Capitol has a portrait in relief of Hammurabi.

We live in interesting times. Friend of mine is a scientist in France. He just got briefing on what to do when traveling to the US. He was told to use an empty, freshly installed laptop with nothing but his presentation on it. Uninstall all messengers and social media. If he has to surrender any of his devices even for a minute, he shall get it checked by the French secret service for back-doors and Trojans.

I guess I rather stay home than going to a conference in the US.
