Gen-X geek, Resistance, Mid-Michigan Spiritual isn't at all the right word for me. I prefer 'A romantic in reference to matters of reality.'

Yeah, I didnt realize that was Sandman.

Huh? Isn't that the Mandarin at the bottom?

Adam Marti @adammarti.bsky.social · 20h

Man. If only there had been information that Brexit would turn out like this...

How could these poor people have known with only thousands of people and whole nations telling them...?

Adam Marti @adammarti.bsky.social · 20h

A Brit that voted for Brexit is as willfully dumb as a US farmer that voted for Trump.

No sympathy.

Will he fall asleep in that courtroom too?

A lot of people don't know Jesus was a big proponent of heavily armed soldiers attacking migrants and their families and kicking them the hell out of the country if their paperwork wasn't legit.

Rough guy, that Jesus.

Evangelicals, I know this lie is enough for you to approve of ICE.

Shame on you

Adam Marti @adammarti.bsky.social · 8d

Yeah, that one hurt me.

Chappelle was regretfully no surprise.

You would think Davidson would be a surprise, but he did a good job explaining how money is more important to him than the disgrace of taking it from the people that killed his father and 3,000 other people in one day.

I see your guys' point.

But have you considered the counterpoint that Donald Trump is an idiot?

Adam Marti @adammarti.bsky.social · 8d

I can tell you one thing.

I wouldn't be flying right now if I absolutely didn't have to.

Adam Marti @adammarti.bsky.social · 8d

Man, South Park looks really different these days...

Adam Marti @adammarti.bsky.social · 8d

It is, but you need to keep the Republican name for the old school Republicans that lie to themselves about what their party has become.

They tell themselves its all still the same and Trump is just a little careless with his words sometimes. Then turn on FoxNews and go on with their lives.

Adam Marti @adammarti.bsky.social · 8d

Don't give them more grace than they are due.

These people persistently enable child sexual predators.

Adam Marti @adammarti.bsky.social · 8d

Its a cult.

It works the exact same "Absolute belief in absence of evidence" part of the brain as religion.

There isn't much history of success in overcoming that.

The fact is, Trump stumbled onto a hack of the system and its probably going to be fatal for our democracy.

Adam Marti @adammarti.bsky.social · 8d

They aren't trying to cover it up. The publicized abuse of a journalist was the point. After it was done, there was nothing left to accomplish by charges.

They're showing other journalist what they will do if they don't fall into line. Just like they did corporations, judges, colleges, etc.

Adam Marti @adammarti.bsky.social · 8d

Troubled, even?

Adam Marti @adammarti.bsky.social · 9d

And she can show her belly button! NBC would be scandalized!

BTW, erictjohnson.bsky.social, replying and then blocking is a special kind of bitchy cowardice.

Aw... Eric Johnson got hit feelings hurt.

Adam Marti @adammarti.bsky.social · 9d

Singapore is not the Qataris. Just like Germany is not North Korea. Just saying.

Adam Marti @adammarti.bsky.social · 9d

Same reason he gave Bill Burr, Dave Chappelle, Pete Davidson and others a bunch of blood stained money.

He knows he can gain credibility in the western world if he can get (buy) enough unprincipled westerners to sell out and whitewash over what he does.

Adam Marti @adammarti.bsky.social · 9d

A bunch of armed Muslims.

With fighter jets.

Inside US borders...

I have to think this just somehow isn't going to happen. Its just too bizarre.

Adam Marti @adammarti.bsky.social · 9d

No, right now, they are waiting for someone on FoxNews to give them the words to say this is a good thing and that they've always wanted Muslim militarizes setting up bases inside the United States.

Do not underestimate the power of the cult. Doing so is how we got here.

Adam Marti @adammarti.bsky.social · 9d

Oh, that's easy. His pet attorney general enforces what he says rather than what the law is. Congress and the Supreme Court are refusing to do their constitutional duty of checking his power grabs so there is no more balance and he is now effectively a king.

IOW, we're cooked.

Any other questions?

Adam Marti @adammarti.bsky.social · 11d

Its a public conversation at that point.

Join in!

Same place the outrage of the 2nd amendment warriors is with Trump going full dictator, and the outrage of the constitution originalists with a POTUS imposing taxes, and the outrage of anti-socialists with Trump taking over Intel and bailing out the soybean farmers.

IOW, they're ALL full of shit.
