I like this guy. 😄

I was actually talking about Greenland being a territory in the kingdom of Denmark.

No worries, my friend.

That would be Denmark, not Norway, but otherwise, go off, king!

He has no good side. You've seen how fast he ditches anyone who gets more attention than he does. Where's the Muskrat these days?

istg everything about our culture and society right now is set up to make us the worst versions of ourselves. it takes so much energy to not be angry and upset and aggressive. they did this to us and they did it on purpose. we don't have to let them get away with that contrived version of humanity

Trump hates to be the object of humor. He understands that humor can be a more powerful antidote to tyranny than any other form of criticism.

I'm sure he'd hate it if you shared this cartoon. [Cartoon by Jon Adams/The New Yorker]

You are correct. Take the iconic cowboy, for example. Real, range-riding, cattle-herding cowboys existed for about 30 years. A lot of them were Black or indigenous. But they (white cowboys at least) have become an indelible symbol, worldwide, of rugged American independence. It's a bit skewed.

I’ve always said that one of the things Americans do best is make up myths about themselves and then believe them. The ideal of America is wonderful. Freedom for all, opportunity, endless possibilities if you go out there and make things happen.

The reality has *never* been like that.

Whoa, I didn't know about that. I knew Ivana died from "blunt impact injuries to the torso" after a cardiac arrest according to the NYC medical examiner. I know the official story was that she fell down the stairs.

These "officers" are scum. But I have to say, Alderperson Fuentes is rocking a very fly haircut while staying calm and asking for a warrant.

Eric Reinhart @eric-reinhart.com · 8d

ICE just blatantly violated the law and arrested sitting Chicago Alderperson Jessie Fuentes while seeking to illegally arrest a patient in a hospital. Fuck these fascists.

I’m guessing he’s always wanted to kill people. And now he can. Just for kicks. What’s in those Epstein files anyway?

This is it in a nutshell. I’m so glad that kid got away. “Yakety Sax” is just the cherry on top.

ICE attempted
and failed to disappear a food delivery guy.
It needed to be scored.

And then, of course, there's this lot. And also the evangelicals who think it's the end times and Jesus is coming soon, so they need to help break everything. I personally think that if Jesus returned he'd throw his back out flipping tables, but that's just me.

Oh, no, the harm is real, and so is the self-harming stupidity. It just seems that the ideology favours "whatever will harm the people we hate" (cruelty, you're right) over "whatever will make everyone's lives better". I honestly have no idea what they hope to accomplish by all of this.

I have read that the true motivation for a lot of this nonsense is "owning the libs". They don't need to make a good argument or win one, if the result of the exchange is that some lefty gets mad about it. It's entertaining to them.

OK, great! Now release the Epstein files.

House Of Procyon 🇨🇦 @amreid.bsky.social · 18d

We need more of that kind.

Welll... He didn't, but there is that whole Christian thing of "Believe Jesus is your Saviour or suffer in hell forever". That seems like a bit of a setup, TBH.

Joke’s on him. It’s not an organization. More of a mood.

It's good to see resistance is working in the US. Be the sand in the gears you wish to see.

Why? Well, for starters, 300 ICE agents have been moved to Chicago, leaving only about 300 in LA County which is about what we had before Trump took office. Why are they leaving? Because LA made their jobs TOO FUCKING HARD. LA Organized. LA sat on corners outside Home Depots with radios. 5/

But you forget that these days, big brains are suspicious and must be stamped out, along with the nests of perfidious education that spawn them. They do things like "think" instead of parroting loyalty oaths, which just causes trouble.

...God, I wish I was joking. *sob*

Well, this way he gets to act tough and order other people to commit violence and harm on his behalf, but he’ll never risk the slightest bit of harm to himself. A bully’s dream.
