I’m 50 and miserable. Everyone who isn’t well off is miserable, and that’s like 75% of the country.

This is still a win for Project 2025. Not a full 100% win, but ground gained is ground gained.

Because Capitalism demands fealty to Capital. The only exception being if Capital puts on any kind of veneer of human decency. Then you are allowed to break out the pitchforks.

“Browncoats doing exactly what they are supposed to be doing; will be given a slap on the wrist if they are sloppy enough to get caught.”

Fixed that headline for ya.

Yeah I’ve been hoping for it for a while now, but it’s crazy how much power people like Pelosi have over the party as a whole. Maybe with the absolute madness of the second Trump administration, that’ll weaken as people realize how useless the Democratic Old Guard is.

It really is. Her and a few others need to form a coalition and take over the party. Give Pelosi and Schumer the boot and pivot hard to the Left for the working class.

Or Kid Rock. Or Ted Nugent.

Because snakes are a metaphor for pagans in that story (animism and all that). Ireland has never had actual snakes.

Spineless cowards. There are amateur stand up comedians living in their cars and working for beer money who handle hecklers better than these professional public speakers with lifetime Healthcare.

Meanwhile we have people like AOC volunteering to do town halls in Republican districts, just so Republican voters can actually talk to a member of congress.

What a pathetic state of affairs.

Bro Brogan hasn’t been in a fight since he was like 19. Rolling around on the mat in a gym doesn’t cause head trauma.

His problem is that he’s just a dumb asshole by nature.

Democracy isn’t defined solely by peaceful transfer of power. Our government is completely captured by monied interests. Public opinion has a near zero influence on policy.

Hours. It only took hours from the time he introduced the bill to the time he was arrested.

Must be some kinda record.

“The vaccination has stuff we don’t trust”

I would bet money this man could not name a single ingredient in a measles vaccine.

One of Henry Kissingers ideas.

Yep. He was an absolute monster. This quote by Anthony Bourdain always comes to mind when he gets brought up:

“Once you’ve been to Cambodia, you’ll never stop wanting to beat Henry Kissinger to death with your bare hands. You will never again be able to open a newspaper and read about that treacherous, prevaricating, murderous scumbag sitting down for a nice chat with Charlie Rose or attending some black-tie affair for a new glossy magazine without choking. Witness what Henry did in Cambodia – the fruits of his genius for statesmanship – and you will never understand why he’s not sitting in the dock at The Hague next to Milošević.”

Wake up, babe! New Republican gun restrictions are about to drop!

Fuck it. More graffiti. Some trippy cats.

For anyone who is not familiar, Asheville is a very Left-leaning city in a deep red state. Last time I saw that many granola crunching hippies was in my mom’s photo albums of the Haight-Ashbury district in '69. I’m not saying the town hall was full of Democrats, or that Asheville doesn’t have its fair share of dyed-in-the-wool conservatives. I’m just saying that the general mindset in Asheville leans much further Left than the rest of NC, and that may explain why Edwards was getting so much shit from the public. Buncombe County (where Asheville is) voted 61% for Edwards’ Democratic opponent Caleb Rudow in 2024.

Here’s a pic I took of some graffiti while I was up there not long ago.

This goes a bit further than that. They are trying to make spray-painting “ASSHOLE” on a Tesla an act of terrorism akin to burning down a Tesla factory. The two are not the same. This kind of law would make every graffiti artist a terrorist. That’s not what anti-terrorism laws should be used for.

Not once the ball gets rolling, no. Plenty of Fascism has been averted through preemptive nonviolent action though. In fact, that’s basically how Democracy works; Constant nonviolent vigilance keeping Fascism at bay. But once Fascism gains traction, the only thing that works to get rid of it is violence. More people need to understand this. It’s like that Kyle Reese speech in the first Terminator movie.

“It can’t be bargained with. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely will not stop… ever, until you are dead!”
