Kid Rock: Do you know what is stupid… these chicks running around on campuses with blue hair, five nose rings.

Why did he do that?

There was no fucking point.

Stop helping people who stab you in the back.

That's how we got into this fucking mess in the first place.

Don't get scared. Get prepared.

Buy an assault rifle.

Remember that this was said.

It may become relevant soon.

Nah, I'm sure it's completely unrelated to the $400,000,000 plane they just gave him for no reason in particular just have it we don't expect anything in return.

Yeah. I just.....I just don't know any more.

Shit is getting so crazy. I half expect to wake up and find out that Trump put a tariff on vowels. Or that it's illegal not to have sex with a white person if they say "please."

They put enough sodium benzoate in that shit to keep it from spoiling.

I say go for it.

Nobody has the right to detain you unlawfully and you have the right to use whatever force you deem appropriate to defend yourself in such circumstances.

So this IL Hospital Association memo describes an incident where ICE detained a US citizen, gave them HEART PROBLEMS, took them to a hospital where the fought with medical personnel, then left when they realized they detained a CITIZEN.

Benjamin O. Anderson @kemek.bsky.social · 19h

They also gave him a plane.

I think Peter Thiel may be gay.

And I think this Bible he's suddenly so enamored with has a few things to say about that.

Benjamin O. Anderson @kemek.bsky.social · 19h

Sure am glad Biden didn't hasten the prosecution of Trump for...[checks notes]....trying to overthrow the government.

Can you imagine how unseemly that would have been?

Benjamin O. Anderson @kemek.bsky.social · 19h

So.....what are we going to do about it?

Because it seems like peaceful protest isn't getting the job done.

Americans voted him into office.

Twice.

Whom, exactly, do you expect us to fight for? The people who put us in this situation in the first goddamn place?

Grow up.
