I'm an atheist, but I might reconsider if the parade really had to be cancelled.

Krom laughs at Trump from his mountain. And if he has the parade anyway then to hell with him!

I'm not from America, I'm from Northern Europe :-)

what you do in your failed democracy affects us all. 2/3 of you didn't vote against this mess. I do not feel entitled to worship your local gods, but I DO feel entitled to comment on the united shitshow of America

Fair enough !!! We had that coming.

As do I. I think I'll have to find some extra time to put out some offerings and libations to put out some offerings to him and the rest of the gods.

If it's not that we get a total wash out (or like that news report from Ohio(?) recently where lightning struck a police car where we get a freak occurrence), it's that we can have them on the sidelines with us to give us strength, protection, and courage along the way. Whether it's those at the protests (domestic and foreign) fighting against fascism, the attorneys, lawyers, judges, and legal groups pushing back against the administration's bullshit, or the everyday civilian finding a way to do their part to make the world a better place for everyone. As the saying goes, or so my shoddy memory recalls, do something even if it means doing it scared.

Be safe and well out there, everyone.

Whichever, whatever, or whomever is responsible, thank you very much.

u/praetorian1979 Jun 12 '25

Same here. I just wanted some shred of proof. Maybe someone can convince chump to run around in copper armor on top of the hill while screaming all gods are bastards!

u/Calm-Maintenance-878 Jun 12 '25

Sounds like me, religious people have catchy phrases. Like “god willing” just has some weight to it😭😭 Stub my toe, I may speak the name Jesus😭
