Retired. Widower. Formerly "that FC with the voice." One of the most ancient shitposters on the internet.
Yup.

Well, now that we know, where's the "wrong answers only" version? I'm gonna say... Garfield.

I’m not going to pretend Frank doesn’t have Problems but it’s extremely funny watching people who don’t get the character complaining about this being “political”

Frank has always hated corrupt cops, he’s a bad person who really truly hates when bad people are in positions of authority
DING DING DING, WE HAVE A WINNER! THAT'S RIGHT FOLKS, IT'S FRANK "SO DID THEY" CASTLE, THE PUNISHER!

DHS said that the woman CBP shot in the chest in Portland was “involved” in a gang shooting.

Her ~involvement~ was that suspected gang members sexually assaulted and robbed her.
After Border Patrol shot two people in Portland, DHS claimed they were "vicious gang members" tied to a past shooting.

But records I obtained reveal a US prosecutor has since directly contradicted DHS, saying, "We're not suggesting he is a gang member." My dive into how DHS' claims have collapsed:
DHS’s account of two Venezuelans shot by border patrol falls apart in court: ‘A smear campaign’
Immigration officials said agent shot two ‘vicious gang members’ in Portland, but records obtained by the Guardian reveal US prosecutor contradicted claims

DHS literally posted "Want cheaper housing?" with a number to report your neighbors.

We did this in the Trail of Tears. We used weak people's desire for free land to get them turn on the Natives. That was the "Destiny" our nation made manifest.

So you're saying it has just become more urgent to ID that one guy who shit on the hotel window so that he can be billed for cleaning?

He could totally take one cop off the rolls to pay for this, and that would be TWO good things he's done.

I *am* curious about the system to shove GW of heat out the door continually for years, with no maintenance. They obviously can't use anything with moving parts, so how does this work?

sorry maybe this is an unnecessary level of stating the obvious, but sometimes when someone says they don’t think puerto ricans are “american,” it isn’t an opportunity to do a little civics gotcha & tell them about the insular cases. they just mean they think real americans are white.

ICE is now claiming it can arrest people without a warrant.

This comes after another internal memo asserting ICE agents can forcibly enter homes without a judicial warrant.

Hello? Democrats cannot let these blatantly unconstitutional actions continue. Not another penny for ICE.

What was meant to silence these ranchers brought them national attention, from rallies at the Colorado Capitol to a feature in Jordan Peele’s High Horse.

Now they’re working with lawmakers to push for legislation and are thinking of running for office.

It's the trans people, in particular, who are saying that. And in any case it's NOT between JD Vance and Gavin Newsom, unless Vance has changed parties and is planning to run in the Democratic presidential primary.

Stop trying to make it be Newsom.
February 2, 2026 at 8:19 PM
You're right, this isn't "leftist."

It's "knows a trans person." Or "has ever been homeless." Or "has met a crypto grifter and seen right through their bullshit." Or, or, or.

Newsom is actually bad, and the thing to do about that is to actually kick his ass out during the primary.

We throve when we had open borders.

We can do it again.
Free soil, free labor, free men (and women). Stronger unions and antitrust actions to rein employers in. Citizenship for anyone who’s doing a job we need done. Vs. the MAGA vision; domination, corruption, racism, and a permanent underclass. You could not have a clearer contrast. 43/end

I’ve been going back and forth on this but this clinches it—I think these guys really want a Persian Gulf labor model in the US. It’s not a coherent philosophy—nothing ever is with these assholes—but I’ve worked on Gulf labor stuff and I’m seeing more and more of it here. Long thread 1/

Donald Trump is suing the federal government for $10 billion. That is your money. Never in our history have we seen something like this. The billionaire President always has a new plan to make himself richer, but never a plan to make your bills more affordable.

"The dichotomy of ‘A.I. doomers vs. A.I. boomers are two sides of the same coin that accept—laughably—that there is such a thing as superintelligence or there is an inevitability to AI systems replacing humans."
