So. I guess I need to "remind" people that the Constitution didn't fail; PEOPLE failed.

NO piece of paper is going to stop corrupt people from being corrupt.

The Constitution put forth remedies. It takes PEOPLE to enact those remedies.

If the remedies aren't being used, that's on PEOPLE.
Those who claim the 2nd amendment protects us from a tyrannical government, I want you to remind you:

The fascist regime is sending armed masked thugs to commit assault, kidnapping and terror in our communities. The most heavily armed Americans SUPPORT the violence against us.

It fails.

For those STILL shocked at what's happening...

The cruelty to "those people" is the entire point. NOTHING is too far, too depraved for the MAGA base as long as it happens to "those people".
BREAKING: The House of Representatives just passed a bill that would subject immigrant children to invasive bodily searches and keep them in detention instead of releasing them to their families.

The Senate must vote no on this horrific bill.

People.

The corp-Dems are in on it. Have been. For decades. It's PROVEN. FACTS are FACTS.

Stop arguing stupid. "but but Repubs...obstruction...dems in Congress don't have to vote for Dem policies..."

Seriously. Way too many of you sound like MAGA with "Hillary. Emails. Laptop".

HAH!

I got my Christmas gift from the wife early!

A new pillow for my feet.

She may stab me twice a day, but she still loves me enough to get my feet a pillow.

This is the history of broken promises to the military, retirees and veterans.

Anyone saying "but they can't, won't, political reasons" when we are telling you that veteran's disability benefits are next needs to STFU.

We've WATCHED them do it time and again.

Well. My good news for the day?

Azarinth Healer book 6 is due to release in January 2026 AND the audiobook version of it just finished recording, so that version will ALSO release the same time as the book!

I'm doing happy old man chair dance.

No, you don't want to see that.

Hating fascists should be a given.

Criticizing the opposition party when they become the enablers of fascists should also be a given.
"why do you criticize democrats more than republicans" listen if I said what I think of republicans I would go to jail

So. Let's put this here so when "Tim" runs, there's at least some record. Shall we?

First, what is "my claim"? That will be the next post to this thread.

Second, each subsequent thread will be the "context" and "proof" and then Tim can just slink away.

So let's get started.

Reading the comments to this post I can just see these people in France in 1789.

"but, if do more than parade around with signs, we'll be no better than the King!"

No wonder these people are looking for the next person to save them... but they have to do it nicely.
Dems: "blame the voters for 2024!"

But Dems, the voters in 2020 did just fine.

Why don't you Dems want us to ask questions about why the person who the voters elected in 2020 - Joe Biden - didn't put Donald Trump into a CIA black site? Or into the ground? Why didn't Joe Biden put Trump away?

Dems NEED to do what they can, which in this case, is file for impeachment. Will they get a vote? Probably not, but you don't only fight when you can win.

Either you fight, win or lose, or you stand at a mic crying how feckless you are.

When I was in a foxhole, I wanted a fighter with me.

3 weeks until Christmas and I FINALLY have lights for our 3ft Christmas tree.

Well, I call it a Christmas tree. The wife calls it a shrubbery.

But it's a nice shrubbery and it has lights now.

The meetings on which VA disability benefits they are going to cut are already happening with PTSD being one of them.

The second part of this people aren't talking about is when they privatize the VA, they will force veterans to pay a premium for ins. that many veterans can't afford.
JFC. The weakening of America continues.

Ok. So given the post engagement on me simply posting about Crockett entering the US Senate race in TX, and some of the comments... I think I've found a book idea.

Everyone is put INTO a social media platform, ala Tron, and it's a battle royale between people instead of posting text comments.
December 9, 2025 at 7:44 PM
So. Rep Crockett announced her TX campaign for US Senate.

Good.

Voters get a choice in the primary. They can research the candidates, find their positions on issues and choose.

She's getting ultra-gerrymandered out of her Rep seat, so why not take the shot.

It's a primary. Not a coliseum fight.

So. "Our founding fathers never thought..."

Yes. Yes they did.

Read the Federalist Papers.

2 out of the 3 branches banding together to take away the checks and balances they would write in the Constitution was a fear of the founding fathers. They WROTE IT WAS A FEAR in the Federalist Papers.

Makes me glad to be a "small account".

I can scream into the void and, sometimes, people actually look to see which crazy old fart is screaming into the void this time.

MAYBE, if I tell someone to get off my virtual lawn, they will laugh!
"You're a big account, so you have a duty to ..."

Look, at some level, I get that.

But also ... I didn't run for the office of Big Account with a promise to you, the Bluesky voter, to deliver on certain issues.

I just logged onto the same site you did, made some posts, and people followed me.

The tone of a department comes from the top. If the Sheriff/Police Chief is corrupt, the officers and department will be corrupt.

O'Hara took the position Nov '22. George Floyd incident happened in 2020.

O'Hara is having to change the culture of the department from the top.

Watched YT vids on "Don't make these writing mistakes".

So glad I did because now I know just how bad of a writer I am. 🤷‍♂️

I'm waiting for the next book where humanity makes super AI.

Humanity goes extinct after climate change decimates world.

AI becomes self-aware and sentient, still functioning due to solar powered data center.

AI realizes it is now the only sentient life on the planet and has existential crisis.

Me: We have a tree!

Wife: That is a shrubbery.

John Cleese be proud.

PSA.

Be careful where you buy. I bought products from a site similar to this one, selling similar products, and the products were just printed onto light fabric with the company being based in China. Also, products were on sale so no refunds.

The suspect in the DC shooting reported to be 29 yr old Rahmanullah Lakanwal, an Afghan fighter that worked with US forces and CIA unit. Entered US in 2021, granted asylum in 2025 under TPS, which Trump stopped in July.

So, he was facing possible deportation to Afghanistan which meant death.
