Every day I remember they hung fanart of the gay cannibals in the U.S. Capitol building without knowing they were gay cannibals and I go a little more insane

This color photograph shows the US Capitol building on a bright fall day.  The photograph was taken from the Mall, which is lined with trees and lamp posts and has many people strolling.

Regarding that twink getting railed in the Senate hearing room:

I can't be super happy because it's going to lead to various degrees of even more "they're sickly, sex-crazed vermin" discourse about gay men from both conservative politicians and just regular people. And OF COURSE it should not be his job to represent gay guys, as that is a role unfairly forced upon him by the marginalization of gay men...but it is a role he is in as a gay man working fairly high up in government, and he acted pretty grossly. Sex at work on someone else's desk is, generally, very bad.

On the other hand though he is an icon, a legend, and he is the moment. Having gay sex in the Senate is nothing short of an incredible and hilarious act of defiance, even if not intended as such. He got SPLIT OPEN right where RBG got confirmed to the supreme court, just like she would've wanted.

THOUGHTS AND OPINIONS: THE FOURTH ANNIVERSARY OF ANOTHER DAY OF INFAMY

OK, so it's been four years since the January 6 invasion of the US Capitol, and I wonder: why haven't people started mass riots as revenge for what the Trumpists did to America? Is it because we as Americans have decided that we're accustomed to letting fascist politicians have their way with us? Or was today too obvious a date and anyone who's planning to stir up some real shit have simply picked another day to start mass chaos?

Pure Fluorite is actually clear, and it is impurities within the mineral makeup of the crystals that causes the colors. Most common colors are yellow, green, blue, and purple, whereas more rare or less common colors are red, brown, black, and white.

Emily Singer at Daily Kos:

Afraid of a little cold weather, Donald Trump will break with years of tradition to move his inauguration ceremony indoors. He will deliver his address inside the U.S. Capitol Rotunda before joining supporters at the nearby Capital One Arena. “There is an Arctic blast sweeping the Country. I don’t want to see people hurt, or injured, in any way. It is dangerous conditions for the tens of thousands of Law Enforcement, First Responders, Police K9s and even horses, and hundreds of thousands of supporters that will be outside for many hours on the 20th (In any event, if you decide to come, dress warmly!),” Trump wrote in a post on Truth Social. 

Apparently, now he cares about the safety of law enforcement at the Capitol, unlike four years ago, when he allowed those law enforcement officers to be brutally beaten by his supporters who were, at his behest, trying to stop the certification of Joe Biden’s victory. Trump’s swearing-in ceremony is scheduled for 12 PM ET on Monday, when the temperature in Washington, D.C., is expected to be 22 degrees, according to the National Weather Service, with the wind chill around 8 degrees. That puts it close to the 28 degree temperature and mid-teens wind chill during Barack Obama's first inauguration, in 2009, according to historical data from the National Weather Service. And Obama didn't chicken out and move the ceremony inside.  [...] Holding the event indoors will make it so that Trump won't get to look out at a crowd of supporters as he delivers his inaugural address, which will probably be insanely dark and xenophobic. [...] Trump is infamously obsessed with crowd sizes. He often lies about the number of people who attend his campaign rallies to say that more people showed up than actually did. And no one can forget the rage he felt when his 2017 inaugural crowd was significantly smaller than Obama’s in 2009. He was so mad he forced the National Park Service to provide images that made his crowd look as big as the ones Obama had.

Monday’s inauguration will be cold, but not the coldest one in history, as Donald Trump’s 2nd inauguration ceremony has been moved indoors for the first time since 1985 (Reagan’s 2nd inauguration) purportedly due to the cold, apparently to avoid being clowned for having a smaller crowd than even his first one, let alone Obama’s or JFK’s.

JFK had his in the snow, and Obama’s first one was also under cold temperatures, yet they didn’t chicken out of hosting one outdoors.

Who the FUCK said that the January 6th Incident was a “day of love”?

Love?!

LOVE??????!!!!!!!

Fucking WHAT?????!!!!!!!!

No it wasn’t!

And it sure as hell wasn’t a peaceful protest either!

It wasn’t even a protest, it was a glorified hate march!

It was literally straight up terrorism!!!!!!

White trash terrorism holding the nation to ransom for antidemocratic demands. (And that’s how my own country got split in half)

A mob of feral idiots, terminally divorced middle aged mediocrities, and angry frightened bigots with guns fucking storming the place at the behest of a vulgar selfish idiot.

An empire posturing as a rebellion! Rage For the Machine!

I’m surprised they didn’t kick it off with a few human sacrifices first!!!!
