I heard that it’s the roving gangs of men with waxed mustaches and dapper 1920’s era suits you need to be most afraid of in Portland.

Literally everyone around me thinks I am crazy whenever I start discussing anything to do with news and politics. It is maddeningly frustrating and deeply sad how under-informed, misinformed, and completely uninformed MOST people are.

Where exactly in the Constitution did the founders state that sixty votes in the Senate was needed to move legislation? My understanding is that it is some bullshit made up long after the founders time.

… guys… … it’s the internet and we’re running out of things that rhyme with brick and pick. I worry where this leads.

Don’t worry, the US military, under the direction of Pete Hegseth, will simply order service members to stop wearing their uniforms off-base.

Problem solved, no more service members seen at food banks.

As a member of the far-left, I know that I shouldn’t shop at Amazon, but I did buy myself an inflatable frog suit from them.

I am sure at some point in the near future the government will use that action against me, but they’ll find any old reason to persecute perceived enemies anyway, so why not?

Who’s to enforce court decisions when they aren’t adhered to by the government?

Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?

If only we were half as organized as MAGA/GOP believes we are.

The only oligarch I’ve ever heard of that’s not on team Fascism/MAGA/GOP is George Soros, and I don’t think Trump would accept a plane from him.

Where Elon Musk fucked up is that he spent $44b on Twitter and $270m on getting Trump elected. Instead he could have just bought the damn company that controls a significant portion of the voting in America—that’s what all the cool right-wing Oligarchs are doing now, apparently.

Guy who murders fishermen in the Caribbean thanks guy who murders his perceived enemies with radioactive tea and various other poisons after he offers condolences for not winning the Nobel Peace Prize.

I solved being called a POG by being an infantryman my first five years, then a Radiology Specialist, and finally an Enlisted Aide to two GOs. That’s like the whole spectrum in one career.

If we have learned one thing over the last ten or so months of this regime it’s that the average Americans tolerance for the bullshit this regime has been doing is shocking high.

I often wonder what, if anything, can/will incite a better organized resistance?

I prefer to think of all the various right-wing oligarchs as different Bond villains.

WGN is owned by Nexstar. They’re not going to push anything that might offend the regime in the midst of their acquisition deal.
