Tired of late stage capitalism. But also, I like to kayak weekly if the lake isn’t frozen. And I think Elon Musk is pathetic fucken loser. 🙂 Update: Charlie Kirk was an asshole. He made a career out of selling hate.

Awe dude, that’s stalker material. Where did “you” get the under age boys part. I just joked that Mike Johnson was in the Epstein files on a completely different post. 1st amendment, am I right? If not, you tell me what rules I should follow?

I mean it working. Innocent people are going get hurt in the mean time. But violence is worse…

Define political retribution…can you give an example?

…sooner if the Epstein files get released. My fun conspiracy theory is that Johnson is in the files given the way he is protecting them so much.

Also Palestine, Ukraine…countless other issues. The death of science and health care in America, etc. We are set back a generation. 🤷🏻‍♂️

I understand your frustration. There is no way the current cabinet would do anything despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Where I disagree, is we should be saying it more and not less. Calmly & rationally. And at some the political calculus will change. My bet is before Christmas…

I'm sorry but it's just wild we are in the middle of a government shutdown and the House Republicans are REFUSING TO SHOW UP FOR WORK so they can protect billionaire pedophiles and billionaire tax breaks.

When I grew up this shit would have been fucked up. Today it’s just news. 🧐

First “Idiocracy”, now “Gravity” will become a documentary.

Could you shrink his hands a little. “Short fingered vulgarian.”

Look, I can appreciate your right to an opinion on this. But promoting a guy with controversial views isn’t going sway my opinion. Netanyahu has been a brut since his beginning. A contributing factor to why there wasn’t a 2 state solution in the 90’s. Watching innocent people dying is wrong.

I’m not sure what you perspective is? Are we supposed to come to terms with this and accept it? I would argue the opposite. My impression of American resilience growing up as a kid is that we didn’t allow thuggery like this.

jstetz.bsky.social @jstetz.bsky.social · 4d

For what it’s worth, have things ever been this bad in living memory? The obvious use of excessive force and blatantly performative acts…I hope that “hope” will soon turn into “common sense” that this is wrong on practically every level. And there will actually be political will to prosecute.

It’s a new one for me and I kayak often. (Mid 40’s)

I was hoping for a craftier insult.

Pardoned by trump because he voted for him twice.

I took a job out of college in central Florida. And quit after 8 months…fuck that state. The boyfriend of my landlord showed off his illegal gun randomly and the nicest town I could live in also happen to be where Casey Anthony was on the prowl. Seriously, fuck that state.

The Klinger character from MASH really fucked up Pete’s childhood, didn’t it?

Sounded like a hell of an investment opportunity…then I got to the end. I miss the days when the world had consequences.

My favorite are the literal dickheads that put their exhaust pipe vertical in the middle of their truck bed. That’s not form follows function…

Vance doesn’t doesn’t have the charisma or legacy of trump. Thank you Jesus. And miller is just a ghoul. I don’t think people (non-rascist) would follow him. The problem really is Peter Theil and half a dozen other billionaires that have the system rigged in their favor. Breaking from their grip…

jstetz.bsky.social @jstetz.bsky.social · 14d

…figure out to stop a handful of billionaires from using the firehose of misinformation they have through their various social media platforms and tv networks. It’s a daunting task. It will take years if we’re able to move with speed at that goal.

It’s depressing.

I’m mean it kinda is. A few years ago I wouldn’t have imagined it going as far as it has. With no clear end in sight. They’re working on effectively repealing constitutional amendments.

And even if we get him out of office. And are able to hold his underlings accountable.

We still have to…
