I firmly believe that Zelensky is going to be dead by the end of summer. It'll "officially" be from a "short illness", but in reality it'll be Putin saying "who's laughing now, funny man?" while he puts a bullet in his head. Mark my words.

And he did something about the bullshit around us. Yeah he's rich and listened to insane conspiracy theories...and, so I don't get a visit from the popo, I don't advocate killing people. But like that meme said, he did more to scare the 1% than we've done with 20 years of protesting.

Yea...because they can't hit each other. Put them in a room together, and they would whip their dicks out in an effort to show how much they love pussy.

Dude, it's not just incels. This is a mistake our side makes all the time...YOU. DO. NOT. HAVE. TO. BE. AN. INCEL. TO. THINK. LIKE. THIS! I have family...nicest most kind people I've known...who still do everything like the most stereotypical MAGA asshole would do.

Just to show you the difference...and I mean no offense to you...NO ONE I know in East Tennessee except my sister refers to their partner as "my partner". Little things like this show so much. My uncle Bob, who was one of the best men I ever knew, referred to his GF as "woman". We all different.

Do any of y'all live in the south (rural TN, GA, AL, AR, VA, NC, SC, MS, or northern FL)?

...that way shows you why the GOP has such a stranglehold on this part of the country. There are plenty of intelligent people living here. So many writers and poets come from here too. And until the Democrats stop dismissing the region, they will never fix this country.

The south, especially in the small towns, is a whole other beast compared to the rest of the US. It's a mix between being 20 years behind and being 100 years behind, with wiggle room in the middle. I'd advise any progressive to visit the small-town south. Y'all would understand how things are there.

I can remember being at a hippie music festival in 2009 in Minnesota, explaining this to people who had never been to a small town in the south. They thought I was talking out my ass. The only reason anyone believed me was because the friend that invited me to MN was there to confirm.

Ain't me. While I can be hesitant to show emotion to other men because of my upbringing, I've never really had a problem with it. But I've known people here in Tennessee that are so insecure that they'll snap over the slightest bit of affection from the same sex.

We are watching the first gunshots of our country becoming an effectively one-party state. This is how it will start...with lawsuits. Next will be "visits" telling us it's "unwise" to talk bad about MAGA. Then jail time. Then concentration camps. Then gulags and death camps. We must end it now!

Only because you can't take a swing through a phone screen or a monitor.

One thing they could do is stop putting important news about this country and the GOP crooks behind paywalls. People aren't gonna pay for real news when the imitation news is free.

Apparently you've never lived in the small-town south (though forgive my assumption if you have). I've seen "I AIN'T NO F*G!" fistfights start over putting a hand on a shoulder. Some people are so fearful of not looking "manly" that they'll beat up others to "prove it".

In our hearts and minds. I say, we storm the jail, free him, and get him on the next plane to a non extraditng country. Preferably a tropical one.

That wasn't Kool-Aid. That was just a bottle of cheap supermarket wine. And you drank the whole bottle!

My Dad had whooping cough when he was a kid. It almost killed him. And now, thanks to all of this disinformation and junk science, whooping cough has made a 200%+ comeback in my home state of Tennessee.

Something distinguishing I can remember of my Mom was this scar she had on her bicep. It was from being vaccinated in the '50s. I used to run my fingers over it and ask her if it hurt. She said it did at the time, but that it was worth it.

My father is old enough to remember seeing crippled kids and adults, and he remembers kids in iron lungs so they could breathe. My grandparents on both sides were really big on vaccinations. They saw the death and destruction of a world without vaccines.
