I can only go by what I’ve seen on the news and social media, if you are in Chicago or anywhere in Illinois I’m not going to argue with you from where I am because that would be stupid of me

Trump: "We took the freedom of speech away because that's been through the courts and the courts said you have freedom of speech, but what has happened is when they burn a flag it agitates and irritates crowds."

I keep Megan updated the same way. When Trump first got re-elected I was going off about the shit that was going to happen and she thought I was being dramatic. Several times lately she’s been like oh man you called this

I truly don’t get the appeal of podcasts having to be video now. Podcasts are at their very best when you’re doing something else, working out or playing videogames etc, and no good podcaster has ever been someone who should be shown on screen that’s just not how that works. It’s a goblin job.

So I missed the lede of the piece and didn’t realize this was last month.

Which makes this far worse, bc there’s been a month for this to become such bigger news than it had been.

I know there’s a lot going on, but … still.

Um, ICE just coldly shot an unarmed PRIEST in the head w a pepper ball when he (and everyone around him) clearly posed no threat.

For the crime of … complaining about government policy.

it doesnt help that when trump and miller say crazy shit the leading democrats are like "um um health care costs! health care costs! this is all about health care costs!"

I've seen a few people question why these sorts of comments haven't hurt Miller, Trump, etc. the way "basket of deplorables" hurt Clinton.

And I think it's just because we expect them to say and do mean shit.

Sean Duffy on marijuana: "To legalize it and to say, 'it's okay for our kids and our young people to smoke it, and it's good for them,' and then they get behind cars -- it's dangerous and it's taking lives ... this is way more dangerous stuff. And then they're lacing it with other materials."

Dunno man, seems a little misleading to write an article about Trump describing activity in Portland and Chicago as “insurrection” with a 33 year old photo of a burning donut shop taken in the 1992 LA Riots (sans caption explaining that) as the header on all your posts about it.

The picture from
The article with a picture of an armed men standing in front of a burning donut shop. You must click through to read the caption “
Two National guardsmen stand guard outside a burning donut shop in Los Angeles on April 30, 1992.
The National Guard was called in to aid police during the second day of rioting in the city.”
