It’s really important to the rich that the middle class believe poverty is a moral failure.

Let me repeat that for people in the back:

IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO THE RICH THAT EVERYONE ELSE SEE POVERTY AS A MORAL FAILURE AND NOT A SYSTEMIC AND SOCIETAL FAILURE.

Thou shalt not support a man who bulldozes the White House to build himself a golden ballroom whilst the government is shut down because he doesn’t want the financial records tying him to Jeffrey Epstein to come out.

I prefer political leaders who don’t shit on the American people.

The lilies I got at the grocery store this week are massive. Evidence for this is that I’m in this photo.

Bulbous white vase filled with large pink lily buds. One flower facing the viewer has bloomed. These lilies are huge and you can tell because the vase is in front of a mirror and I am not really visible behind the flowers and they haven’t even bloomed yet. The one that has is as big as your hand. Visible (but blurry) in the background to the left is an orange armchair and a very large bright blobby blue lamp and I just want to note that the lamp is fantastic and I love it like crazy but cannot find a similar year not matching lamp to go elsewhere in the room. It’s a modern tragedy.

If the undocumented got free health care, no one would admit they’re American or documented in a medical setting.

Small market newspapers often print all the mail they get. In many markets, the bar to make the opinion pages is pretty low because print is dying. In any case, writing a few words to them about how fucking weird it is to make poop throwing videos might be worth a bit of your time. 🤷‍♀️

God “laid it on their hearts” to ignore huge swathes of Jesus’ word. That’s my favorite indicator phrase used to hand-wave away the inconvenient parts of the book in favor of what they were gonna do anyway.

We can’t have SNAP but the person who made the poop video got paid. PRIORITIES!

That’s the only part they care about. They’ve successfully positioned poverty as a moral failure on the poors part and not a moral failure on society’s part.

Dad?

We all kind of assume that the earlier versions of the poop bomb video showed actual bombs, right? Like the baby in charge said “make a video where I bomb the protestors” and they had to talk him down from bloody slaughter?

You know, I’m actually pretty upset that the leader of my country has no regard for the laws that are supposed to protect my rights, my free speech, and my tax dollars, that he seems disinclined to ever cede any power, and that he regularly insults and demeans half the country, including me.

Argentina is a relatively well-off country with currency issues - also with full healthcare for all its citizens. The US administration is supposedly bailing out their currency to the tune of $40B. In comparison, the jettisoned USAID budget, used for programs to keep people fed and alive, was $32B.

I don’t think it’s the madness that bothers them. It’s the cringe. There’s no spin that makes it shitposting vs posting shit. It’s obviously extremely embarrassing as a thing created and a thing shared. This needs to be memory-holed because it is the opposite of strong and confident.

Perfect.

Can we get someone to play the poop video projected somewhere Mike Johnson can’t avoid seeing it? Or ask why he doesn’t follow the president and consume presidential content like a good little sycophant?

So last week’s peace deal is downgraded to cease fire and that also won’t hold. So much winning.

5000 in the Upper Valley is bonkers.

Photo of the lead paragraph in the local paper:

By LUKAS DUNFORD
Valley News Staff Writer
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION -Arriving in everything from wheelchairs to strollers to inflatable lobster costumes, about 5,000 people lined a main Upper Valley thoroughfare on Saturday in a sequel to June's "No Kings" protest.
The gathering in the heart of the Upper Valleytook lace from 12:30 p.m. to about…

The whole Epstein thing is a struggle for them because they don’t believe there’s anything wrong with victimizing people. The blame is on the victim (look what she wore and where she was!) or on the stage before them (Jeff took her, not me). But what *they* did was fine and what anyone would do.

This is an inappropriate time to be up.

Diarrhea, you say? From a fighter jet? Hmm.

Release the Epstein files.

Conspiracy theory time! We got an AI poop video from the President so when the actual scat video surfaces, the searches are cluttered with the remnants of this.

I almost hope it’s that because that thing is super cringe. I mean, imagine crafting that prompt.

a more virile president would drop powerful turd bombs not leak soup like he's trying to put out a forest fire
