Old hermit, classical poet, Cali native, retired to the wooded shores of Lake Michigan. Sick of tyrants, their loyalists, and apologists. No DMs, no bitcoin, no porn. Fuck Trump, Musk, Putin. Slava Ukraini 🇺🇦🌻
We need to pass a law that raises taxes at the top every time we launch an attack on another country. The higher rates should stay in effect until the attack is paid for, including a reserve for veterans' care.
Watch how fast we end wars if the wealthy pay for them rather than profit from them.
Mafia's busy rn, teaching 47's cabinet members how to cover tracks while looting US Treasury. Only have so much time before 47 expires.
They have to be willing to pledge loyalty to Trump, so yeah dreadful fuckwits 🤷♀️
He has always been that person. But now he has weapons and agents and generals and armies and all the power someone like him should never ever have.
Nancy Mace is not someone one would normally look to if you seek knowledge or learning.
Sorry but the big glasses and new hair haven't changed that. A box of rocks is still a box of rocks even if you dress it up like a school teacher.
Considering that we removed their elected government in the 1950s and imposed the Shah in exchange for oil, calling us the Great Satan seems a reasonable response.
It probably didn't help their opinion of us that our first target was a school for little girls.
You're welcome. Alex Jones isn't someone I'd normally promote, but that site was a decent intro.
Reading it again this morning, I'm reminded of Elon Musk's recent statement that "empathy is a sin". I guess it's too hard to hoard the world's resources if you give a damn about other lives. 🫤
This purported text came from Alex Jones. I can't say whether it's accurate, but the photo looks like others I've seen. Weird stuff. Either as sinister as it looks, or some wild egos at work.

Members claim it's just to encourage them to relax, but the Epstein revelations make everything worth looking at again. In the ceremony, a child-size effigy in a boat is drawn over a pool to the base of a giant stone owl where it's burned, while a recording of some long poem is played.
I just saw a documentary about it, a few decades ago. A film crew found a way to sneak in but were arrested so they didn't have much. More is public now. It just stuck with me because it was creepy. Why a child? Why is care "dull" to those we entrust with the care of our society?
Also makes you wonder about the Bohemian Club, and their "Cremation of Dull Care" ceremony where they burn an effigy of a child.
Probably hopped up on steroids or something to keep him awake.
SCOTUS gave him immunity. The way that he cleansed the DOJ means there's no one to arrest or charge his cronies. ICE is giving him a private army and keeping people busy fighting that front. Like Hitler, it's the enablers around him who made him a many-tentacled, quickly-growing monster.
We're fighting in the courts to hold on to voting rights until the mid-terms, but many law firms were defanged when they agreed at the outset to give him free representation and not work against him. A few like Marc Elias are fighting and mostly winning, but it's a slippery hill of glass right now.
The party in power is owned by a cabal of billionaires who planned for years. Project 2025 is a step-by-step "how to end democracy" manual, so once he was in power this time, they knew which safeguards had to be taken out right away. Law firms, ethics oversight, bureaucracy etc., gone or shackled.

At some point Congress members have to demand actions. Asking her to "look into it" does nothing.
Declare specific actions by ICE to be unlawful. Give her a deadline to identify the offending officers and report names and corrective actions taken. Require evidence of new training.
With the number of these banners showing up all over, they must be coming from a business owned by a Trump crony. Kind of like the advertising $$$ that went to Noem's assistant. And I'll bet they're expensive.
These people are really good at coming up with new methods of waste, fraud and abuse.
It's going to take another 250 years to repair the world's view of the US. If it's repairable. But those of us with consciences are still, I think, the majority.
This seems to be a long, multi-generational plan to overturn democracy internationally. Equality is apparently intolerable to the few.

Being a sociopath or psychopath seems to have been a requirement for upper-level positions in this administration. No consciences allowed.
Trump claims he hired Noem because she shot her own dog.
Several cabinet members appear to be fellow pedophiles.
We are a danger to the whole world.
Those "stupid rules" like a clear objective and abiding by international rules of war are what help prevent quagmires from happening, but this smack-talking punk in his big-boy jeans doesn't bother with the hard stuff that comes after. He's just here to look cool telling his boys to blow stuff up. 🙄
Is he talking about the 3 families who just lost loved ones in Iran? Surely this flippant "good genes" bit isn't his way of addressing their loss 😵💫
This is more like what happens when a gang of 12-yr-old boys come across a box of fireworks. Excitement over new places and ways to blow things up.
Trump's emo age seems about 12. People not his friends aren't real to him. And he has the biggest pile of firecrackers the world has ever seen.
I'm still stunned when people are surprised to find out that this con man with a record of decades of shady, dishonest, cheating, unethical, immoral, loud, publicly slimy behavior is exactly who he always was. Like, duh. 🫤
How tf did anyone NOT know?
If we allowed elections to be suspended, there'd be a new war every time a POTUS had bad poll numbers ahead of an election.
📌It is absolutely insane that two old power-hungry, greedy, lawless men are in the process of killing countless hundreds and thousands of innocent human beings, and destabilizing a world they won't be living in a decade from now, and not EVERYBODY is speaking out loudly against this.
Just to be clear, Senator, issuing a statement isn't actually DOING something.
Let us know when you have ACTIONS to report, please.
I'm pretty sure most humans in the last several thousand years felt the same.
We've either been building their palaces, fighting their wars, growing their food and fortunes, or building their tombs.
