Let’s go Caps!!

(Have to admit, this is bittersweet as the Dad is in the last stages of Alzheimer’s and he is the reason I have been a Caps fan since 1984 or so)

Thousands of posts from a private Young Republican Telegram chat reveal a culture of casual racism/antisemitism, rape jokes and celebration of Hitler/Nazism.

Some of the ringleaders are below: We live in a world where 4chan types now occupy positions of real power.

The wife is heading out of town this weekend so this means I get to go to the protest without someone worrying about my safety.

Someone get me a Jabber Jaw costume, STAT!

They work for us.

We vote for them.

And we can vote them out.

Make sure you are registered to vote.

Set an alarm on your phone to check your registration once a month.

Presidents don’t own the country.

It doesn’t belong to them.

It’s ours.

Never forget this basic fact.

It’s ours.

Never normalize dictatorial power grabs.

They’re NOT normal.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Trump: "I had a very wealthy person who called -- a donor, a great gentleman -- and he said, 'if there's any money necessary, shortfall, for the paying of the troops, then I will pay it.' Meaning he will pay it. How about that?"

Set aside the football bias, Gary Neville is spot on. Same things are happening here. Middle aged white males who should know better (and a 79 year old orange dude) are ripping this country apart. Not sure when or if the pendulum will swing back to the center.

. @barryglendenning.bsky.social and I had @zoejardiniere.bsky.social on @talksport.com to talk Gary Neville and flags and patriotism.

Pretty obvious the side of the debate we’re on but we wanted it to be heard and dispel some myths about immigration/asylum seekers

Apathy is an American trait it seems. Even in the Revolution, 1/3 wanted independence, 1/3 wanted to stay with the British, and 1/3 did not care either way.

Heck, in the last election, people who chose not to vote outnumber votes for either Trump or Harris.
