A Modest Proposal to the Oligarchy.

You did it. You won at capitalism. You’re the true elite. Not only do you control vast corporate empires but let’s face it. You control the government too. Well done!

BUT... 1/10

If you had told me when I was a kid in the 90's in New York state that in my lifetime Donald Trump would become President and shut down the government in order to cover up his involvement in a child sex scandal, I would've believe every part of it except that Donald Trump would be elected President.

“The president should be removed from office because he is plainly insane.”

I mean, there is no war in Portland. There just isn’t. You can’t & won’t avoid reporting this story. But you’ll still find a way to try to report it in a way that gives him the benefit of the doubt.

And that’s wrong.

In fact, I'll be spending a lovely evening in Portland supporting my Timbers. #RCTID

Fuck Donald Trump and his ICE gestapo.

Zach Uncorked @zachuncorked.bsky.social · 12d

He claimed Portland is "war torn". What fucking war is he talking about? The war he's starting himself by attacking citizens in blue cities and states?

Portland is a beautiful city. It was never "burned to the ground" by antifa or anyone else. 1/2

President Trump said Saturday he will send troops to Portland, "authorizing Full Force, if necessary" to handle "domestic terrorists" as he expands his controversial deployments to more U.S. cities.

I worked for her father years ago back when she was a retired Raiderette with a law degree and not much else. He literally told me her politics were "to the right of Hitler".

Not surprised she's turned into this shell of a human to be famous.

BTW, her father who she often praises? He's a felon.

Trump has declared Antifa is a terrorist organization. I guess all of our heroes from WWII were actually terrorists.

If Trump could turn back time he'd surely join the Axis powers.

What a sad & pathetic moment we're living through.

Tylenol is about to become a lot richer... Nothing like the President defaming your product with no legitimate research behind it.

The Right always thinks they can control the message and their followers, yet the radicals always end up subverting them, pulling the party closer and closer to fascism, misogyny, authoritarianism, racism, and eugenics. 3/3

Then the neocons lost control of the Republican party and MAGA took over. Now Kirk and other far-right influencers have created even more radical followers who target who they see as "status-quo" conservatives.... 2/3

Zach Uncorked @zachuncorked.bsky.social · 27d

So it looks like Kirk's murderer is from the far-right. This is another example of the right creating their own monsters and losing control of them. Just like Fox set the stage for Trump to be a legitimate Presidential candidate. He used their own talking points to subvert Republican leaders... 1/3

Exactly! The selective memory and double standard of the right is despicable.

Not to mention slavery, Jim Crow, McCarthyism, the murder of Fred Hampton, Timothy McVeigh, and much more if we're really looking back at our history.

Zach Uncorked @zachuncorked.bsky.social · 28d

I've been saying it for awhile. The Right has been hoping for this moment. He's literally calling it their Reichstag fire. He's literally comparing his side favorably to the Nazis. They will use Kirk's murder to crack down on the left regardless of the fact that the right commits more violence.

Political violence, like assassinations, doesn't help the situation we find ourselves in. Its already inflaming more hatred and accusations and hurting the fight for democracy...

However, Charlie Kirk was also an ignorant, hateful, bigot whose own message bit him the ass, and it feels like karma.

The President of the United States is threatening to go to war with one of his own states.

This is completely unhinged.

Every time I hear The Kink's "Lola", I'm reminded how they were so ahead of their time and how brave they were in that era. Not to mention its a kick ass song.

If you're cool with Lola we can be fast friends.

How many crimes does Trump have to commit before America wakes the fuck up??

This isn't reality TV. Its fucking reality.

If you're not terrified of what Trump and his cronies are doing to our country, you're not paying enough attention.

If his policies haven't greatly affected you yet, it won't be long...
