He can't even spell mercy let alone define it. Good luck, it's just going to get worse.

Hahahahahahahahaha, a Trump campaign free of hate. That's about as likely as a Catholic Church free of kid fuckers.

Even if they could the current democratic leadership are feckless fuckers who won't do anything worthwhile.

I am not a prognosticator, I can't say how bad things will get. I can say that Covid didn't just magically disappear, and Bird Flu won't just go away. The reality is ignoring zoonotic pathogens is a surefire way to kill off a large portion of the population. RFK Jr is just another old fucking shit bag that wants to be right even if he is wrong and who doesn't care if his ignorance or self-righteousness kills you or anyone else. Your health is not his priority. His wealth and power are where his priorities lie. Please take care of yourselves and don't rely on a person with a letter by their name or fame and fortune to save you, they won't. Check on your loved ones, volunteer to help those vulnerable, and be empathetic and kind and we will get through this. Good luck.

Edit: I wanted to expand on the bird flu comment, as a couple of DMs pointed out there have been no sustained human-to-human transmissions of H5N1 to date.

A Science study published in December 2024 identified a single amino acid mutation, Q226L, in the hemagglutinin (HA) protein of H5N1. This mutation increases the virus's affinity for human-type receptors. While it does not enable human-to-human transmission, the virus’s capacity to mutate—especially with prolonged exposure—means it could potentially evolve in that direction.

This concern is underscored by the 2012 Erasmus Medical Center study, where gain-of-function experiments in ferrets demonstrated how easily H5N1 could acquire airborne transmissibility. Combine that with the risk of reassortment with H1N1 or H3N2, and the potential for an H5Nx strain to emerge becomes a legitimate concern.

That said, this is speculative, and I am neither a virologist nor a doctor. Please don't take this as a prediction or diagnosis—just an example of a "what-if" scenario from an old South Texas peckerwood who reads too much.

The US response to Israel's actions in Gaza and the rest of the region should be a straightforward example of what the "Defender of Democracy" is okay with. I imagine war crimes will just be the tip of the spear.

What’s Denmark Got to Do With It? by Tina Tørnér

You must explain it to me, I don't quite understand, This icy place they call Greenland—what's the Danish plan? It’s got icebergs and tundra, not castles or beer— How’s Copenhagen tied to something way up here?

I've heard they rule it, but why do they care? It’s far away, and it’s freezing out there!

What’s Denmark got to do, got to do with it? What’s Denmark’s claim on this frozen bit? What’s Denmark got to do, got to do with it? Who needs a kingdom when it’s Arctic grit?

Is it about the Vikings? Or just flags on the ground? Why does a country so tiny keep this icy crown? There’s Inuit culture—they’ve lived here so long, Yet Denmark stamps their coins; it just feels wrong.

The whole thing’s puzzling—why’s it this way? Do they like the cod or the oil in the bay?

What’s Denmark got to do, got to do with it? Why keep a land where the summers don’t hit? What’s Denmark got to do, got to do with it? It’s Greenland, not a spot for a Danish knit!

Maybe it’s history, or maybe it’s greed, Or they just want control of some Arctic seaweed. They’ve got pastries and bicycles, castles so grand— So why do they hold this much colder land?

Greenland’s so distant, no bakeries in sight, Just polar bears and auroras at night!

What’s Denmark got to do, got to do with it? Why hold a place where no crops will fit? What’s Denmark got to do, got to do with it? Tell me the reason, I’ll Google it!

What’s Denmark got to do, got to do with it? What’s the link to this Arctic bit? What’s Denmark got to do, got to do with it? A colony, or just government grit?

Suuuuure, and next you're going to tell me the Nazis killed Jews and water is wet.

I heard he packed his new knee pads
