It’s really important to the rich that the middle class believe poverty is a moral failure.

Let me repeat that for people in the back:

IT IS REALLY IMPORTANT TO THE RICH THAT EVERYONE ELSE SEE POVERTY AS A MORAL FAILURE AND NOT A SYSTEMIC AND SOCIETAL FAILURE.

God “laid it on their hearts” to ignore huge swathes of Jesus’ word. That’s my favorite indicator phrase used to hand-wave away the inconvenient parts of the book in favor of what they were gonna do anyway.

We can’t have SNAP but the person who made the poop video got paid. PRIORITIES!

That’s the only part they care about. They’ve successfully positioned poverty as a moral failure on the poors part and not a moral failure on society’s part.

We all kind of assume that the earlier versions of the poop bomb video showed actual bombs, right? Like the baby in charge said “make a video where I bomb the protestors” and they had to talk him down from bloody slaughter?

You know, I’m actually pretty upset that the leader of my country has no regard for the laws that are supposed to protect my rights, my free speech, and my tax dollars, that he seems disinclined to ever cede any power, and that he regularly insults and demeans half the country, including me.

Argentina is a relatively well-off country with currency issues - also with full healthcare for all its citizens. The US administration is supposedly bailing out their currency to the tune of $40B. In comparison, the jettisoned USAID budget, used for programs to keep people fed and alive, was $32B.

I don’t think it’s the madness that bothers them. It’s the cringe. There’s no spin that makes it shitposting vs posting shit. It’s obviously extremely embarrassing as a thing created and a thing shared. This needs to be memory-holed because it is the opposite of strong and confident.

Perfect.

Can we get someone to play the poop video projected somewhere Mike Johnson can’t avoid seeing it? Or ask why he doesn’t follow the president and consume presidential content like a good little sycophant?

So last week’s peace deal is downgraded to cease fire and that also won’t hold. So much winning.

5000 in the Upper Valley is bonkers.

Photo of the lead paragraph in the local paper:

Valley News Staff Writer
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION -Arriving in everything from wheelchairs to strollers to inflatable lobster costumes, about 5,000 people lined a main Upper Valley thoroughfare on Saturday in a sequel to June's "No Kings" protest.
The gathering in the heart of the Upper Valleytook lace from 12:30 p.m. to about…

The whole Epstein thing is a struggle for them because they don’t believe there’s anything wrong with victimizing people. The blame is on the victim (look what she wore and where she was!) or on the stage before them (Jeff took her, not me). But what *they* did was fine and what anyone would do.

This is an inappropriate time to be up.

The sweater is awesome but I am *dying* for the candy corn nails.

Diarrhea, you say? From a fighter jet? Hmm.

Release the Epstein files.

Conspiracy theory time! We got an AI poop video from the President so when the actual scat video surfaces, the searches are cluttered with the remnants of this.

I almost hope it’s that because that thing is super cringe. I mean, imagine crafting that prompt.

a more virile president would drop powerful turd bombs not leak soup like he's trying to put out a forest fire

Our #NoKings was a good time. 🤷‍♀️

It was so hard to photograph our little town’s turn out and I reckon all non-urban protests had the same issue. There were a *lot* of people lining both sides of the street with cars honking for hours. The length of the mass was impressive. But my photo shows like 9 people.

lol If they aren’t afraid of political old ladies (or other marginalized and frequently disrespected groups), they aren’t paying attention. Let them think anyone who isn’t strong white guy is useless. Keeps them focused away from the action.

It’s weird that they don’t know how weird it is. Like sure, entertain the baby with the oh so clever cartoon you made starring him. It’s like those books you can buy with “YOUR CHILD’S NAME IN THE STORY”. But posting it and expecting cheers? That’s really weird and sad and embarrassing.

“If being afraid is a crime we hang side by side at the swinging party down the line…”

What would we have done if Paul Westerberg had been a cheerful guy?
