Pure Evil.

There's no debate ALL emergency responders deserve the very best. Better than thieving billionaires.

I spent 26 yrs in public safety. I met these heroes from all over the world. THEY RUN INTO DANGER, MANY ARE VOLUNTEERS.

MAGAts be damned for making our once proud nation a #SHITHOLE.

An absolute disgrace. My Congresswoman, Carolyn Maloney worked so tirelessly to get this passed for 9/11 first responders. Between this and pediatric cancer research being removed from the CR that was originally agreed by all, cruelty is definitely the point.😡🤬😡🤬

As they scrambled to pass a stopgap spending plan Friday, Congress removed legislation that would have fully funded the World Trade Center Health Program through 2040, outraged 9/11 advocates said.…

I just thought of something. Has anybody checked with Pandora lately to see if she's gotten all that stuff back into the box yet?

Are there still people around in the present who know how to put a genie back in a bottle with a curse to stay in there for thousands of years with the cork jammed in?

That's a violation of the Constitutional rights for the people to peaceably assemble & redress the government for grievances. It's the part of the 1st Amendment!

The tyrants know putting armed thugs out to provoke, and sneaking some agitators into the crowd, gives them the green light to attack.

local public radio stations, WLRH & WJAB (Jazz And Blues), doing a program about the blues. He knew a lot of history and was fun to listen to.

I met him several different places around town. He's always a polite guy who was great to talk with.

They did a cover of Bo Diddly's "Road Runner:"

We lived around the Huntsville, Alabama area for years and there was a guy around town who was an expert on the blues and had a band — "Microwave Dave and The Nukes."

They played in different places around town, and Dave was often on the

The jokes stopped a long time ago. We're now deeply into sadistic farce: The degradation of people to the point they're so evil they're amused by causing others' pain & death.

Cf. "Gladiators", "Shooting a pastor in the head with pepper balls."

In case you forgot, peaceful protest is also 1A.

It's pretty urgent also if you see a coyote sneaking into an arts and crafts store and leaving with a paint set.

Too many victims have been lost due to thinking there's a tunnel when there isn't one.

(We won't say the name) A company claiming their cars have autopilot was fooled by one of these.

Long ago I subscribed to "Stereo Review." It was kind of like being a dog outside of a butcher shop with delicious things inside that I couldn't have.

A quick search just now I found this article about Citations. I put the link in.

I have to work hard at the temptation to not buy one of those kids to build some kind of classic just to have one around.

I love classic audio gear. I don't have any anymore but I grew up around those monsters with the glowing tubes/valves inside.

For a while we had a lot of machines that were almost alive. Don't get me wrong, solid state has its advantages, but there's nothing quite like that warm glow. 🎹 🎶 🎧

It's past time for you to cut the shit, Pee-Wee.

This is not the 1930s when people had to rely on newspapers, rumors, and radios.

Since then, technology has connected the entire world. When you L-I-E, everyone knows it in a few seconds.

Leave, and take your pathetic cartoon villains with you.

People shouldn't be afraid of the dark. We have lamps now.

There are so many things you can do that just don't fit in any other part of a 24-hour day.

"2 O'clock and all is well!"
When you can't find peace any other way, find a way to be up in the wee hours. There's a special kind of peace and quiet there that's just not the same anywhere else. Peace be with you. ☮️✌️🕊️ 🖖 LLAP

Just remember the Reptilican snakes have followed the same script for a long time. In brief, when they say "we can't afford it," they actually mean "we won't try to afford it."

They whataboutism how other nations are failing so badly, but remember most of the modern world nations do these things.

the repetition of violent hatred towards certain groups eventually motivates individuals to take matters into their own hands. This in turn helps reinforce the myth that there are out-of-control "LONE WOLVES" who they take no responsibility for. The perpetrators rarely get blamed for what happens.
Information card with a picture of the infamous Newt Gingrich. Text: GOP Sociopath Newt Gingrich taught Republican Regressives that boorishness, hypocrisy and lies are effective behaviors for demonizing and fomenting violence against Democrats. No kidding. In the 1990s. Look it up. Jackson Medcalf-Eichholz @askboomer1949

Members of the MAGA party going back to Newt Gingrich and Frank Luntz, who started describing Democrats as enemies, are responsible for this mess Constant declarations by government officials that certain groups are enemies can trigger stochastic terrorism.

I am sure artists from everywhere can come up with a neutral symbol that isn't religious, copyrighted, or representative of anything except this whole nation and all of its peoples. I nominate:

An illegal, fake coin. Since it’s likely not even worth a Mexican peso (currently worth 5.4¢ US), we could nickname it the "PieceO" because a piece o'shit is on both sides?

Everyone who loves this country should be disgusted with the selfish person who considers himself worthy of being on a coin

get a nickel means no help.

It could also be easily argued that starving the parents by keeping cruel policies and rules that guarantee poverty for too many, indirectly affects the health of the supposed person growing inside the mother.

Meanwhile, Xians continue in their ancient rituals.
A double panel. On the left, we see the typical religious rituals using golden objects and lead almost exclusively by men worshiping invisible people who absolutely refuse, no matter how hard we pray, to help the least among us. On the right, we see the result of the neglect, hate, racism, and endless greed of those who have so much they need nothing, but they work every day to steal even from those who barely have enough to live. The quote verse was given by a religious leader stating clearly that he expected humanity to take care of everyone, no matter who they are or where they are. To refuse to do so is no different than refusing to do it for him. When is the last time you saw religious leaders shaming greedy billionaires for taking too much and leaving nothing for those in need? No matter what label you put on these people, they certainly are not followers of Jesus Christ. Their supposed intense concern about abortion has nothing to do with being religious, because they obviously are not of the religion they claim.

No, they don't care about the unborn, either. Otherwise, they wouldn't have attacked Planned Parenthood for all these years. All women would have prenatal healthcare.
