Nothing special, interesting or unique, just more of the same. I'm eternally binging on hope so I can smile in Evil's face wherever I meet It. Be kind, be true, apologize. Be the first to extend the olive branch. Laugh. BMFS Crew!

Why didn't he just...grab her by the pussy?

He's a star, so therefore she'd let him do what he wants, that's the rules.

Weird. It's almost as if they're doing it in spite of evidence to the contrary that it doesn't work, AGAIN.

The most galling, the worst, the SHITTIEST part of ALL OF THIS is that we are being subjugated by fucking anti-science, anti-truth MAROONS, led by a crazy old man that's lived in a cruel billionaire wannabe fantasyland his entire life, and followed by the willful ignorance of his enabl(ed)ing mob.

What's up with the softball headline, NPR?

"Many fear ICE tactics are growing more violent", followed by an entire article citing incident after incident where ICE tactics have become increasingly violent.

This endless gaslighting is beyond tiring and lame. It's part and parcel of this bizarrely determined effort to conjure an alternative reality that aligns with their warped worldview by simply repeatedly insisting false things that they goddamn know are fucking false are, in fact, true.

The green lights will make for handy aiming if they make it come to that like they're doing with their constant provocations. Maybe the protestors should employ non-CS smoke and see how ICE likes not being able to see the people they're trying to bring to heel?

Fuck 'em.

The 5th bullet point from the article:

"Independent media remains essential to expose these truths, where corporate media often fails to challenge power."

Shit, EVERYONE should be paying attention.

But, many won't, and history will repeat itself.

If the world wants Russian doll-like irony, we can even hold the trials in Nuremburg, PA.

It's always in the backdrop context of some kind of a "how dare you not mention how great or transformational this president is?" accusation-levied tone.

How dare we contravene such a great, GREAT man and Nobel-robbed peace president that's solved, resolved and absolved now 732 wars and counting?

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.
