Tired of the toxicity of social media? Why not join Ricochet for just $5/month? Think of it as an online bar. Come in, have a drink, hang out, say whatever you want. But don’t badger, bully, or berate the other drinkers. That's our only rule.
Those who have followed me know that I have changed up my profile image from time to time. I have done it again. The fighting lion in red and blue with white stars was a suggested update of the Republican elephant with the same color scheme.
On X.com it was recently posted that the Democratic Party is dead. Oh, that that were true.

On X.com I also commented that I was a “Trumpublican”. That’s not hero worship; it’s an embrace of a new political alignment.

I love your new avatar! So powerful and ferocious. And that's how we all need to see ourselves. At times, we need to be ferocious!

Maybe it should be a “Trumpublicrat”.
