well, it turns out that 16 weeks of getting the dogshit hazed out of you and jumped into a gang where the most important thing is Do What You Are Told and Never Betray The Gang is more powerful than my fantasy version of American values! back to the ol' drawing board, I guess 😅

Do you get what we’re actually facing yet, or do you still think the military isn’t comfortable following his orders whatever they may be?

Imagining a scenario where God is making man in his own image, but he can’t get him to work without adding foreskin. Like when a developer can’t remove a butterfly from the code without crashing the whole game. “Just ship it and I’ll do a readme telling them to remove it themselves.”

They grew up with a simultaneous message of “fuck the Man” and “smear the queer” and now they think the queers are the Man.

Trump isn’t panicking. He’s doing exactly what he always wanted to do. The blithe magical thinking of these pundits just lulls people into thinking they can wait him out.

Does this even matter if SCOTUS ruled that you can’t prosecute a president for official acts?

I know aesthetics is subjective, but I really feel like Kirby clears Spiegelman for probably over 90% of people who have seen both men’s art.

They aren’t your friends and neighbors anymore when they put on that uniform. They are implements of state violence. Tools of fascists. And they like it.

I really do think it’s going to come to a point where we will have to bust these political prisoners out, and I just hope we can find them all when it does.

Listen, I know that police officer shot you in the face, but you can’t call him a motherfucker. You might upset Billy The Rapist in Alabama and then he won’t vote blue. Think of the optics.

You know what feels really good? Walking out of the doctor’s office to the front desk and demanding they refund your copay because you’ve been waiting for 50 minutes past your appointment time. You can’t just sit me in a room and press pause, assholes.

This doesn’t actually matter. There is no person who is going to say, “Well, I disagree with the kidnapping and tyranny, but I have to support it because I also hate Mexican flags.” These protests aren’t about convincing that mythical swing moderate; they’re about disrupting ICE.

Please, allow me, a conservative who has never been moved to protest injustice, to tell you precisely how to protest. First of all, I am the default. You have to appeal to me. I want to see gentle songs and American flags. I want to see you thanking the police. I want a blowjob.

Chris Murphy thought that Americans were going to flock to vote for Democrats in 2024 because of the draconian immigration bill the Democrats tried to pass and the Republicans blocked. He wouldn’t shut up about it. Chris Murphy has terrible instincts.

Literally shooting obvious journalists in the back because they know they’ll get away with it is not something the police should be able to do in a “civilized” society.

Kind of figured that was what was going to happen to the flotilla, but still disappointed to be right, so at least I’m not jaded.

They're tear-gassing babies in strollers and elderly Chicano community leaders in Los Angeles. This is a completely peaceful march.
