Just note it’s best to take our idealism to the primaries- it’s the most effective it will ever be in a race to convince the electorate and the party that internal change needs to happen. It’s hard to make those arguments in the general election because many, many people will move from idealism to pragmatism and are more willing to swallow bitter pills.

Also protest and burn things so take note of that.

Is it bad that my thought was “well at least that’s more accurate”?

My mind went to how “the department of defense” was Orwellian AF. I mean his reasoning is fucked don’t get me wrong.

Fair point. My girlfriend is Irish and compared them to the black and tans.

I feel like if someone dressed up as ice and joined in a raid only to cause internal chaos could deeply hinder the operations of ICE as they all become suspicious of each other and lose trust in their team.

It’s like when Jordan Klepper was interviewing Trump supporters. There was one interview where he was talking to a woman who insisted Trump was innocent of intimidating witnesses, and when he pulled solid logic to show he was guilty, she responded “I don’t care”.

I know, it’s been so obvious to me that Epstein was a distraction, and the stuff on top of that was a distraction from the distraction.

Nothing will come of the Epstein list just like nothing came from the Panama papers, and ultimately Trump will die one day, but the damage he’s done to our institutions will stay. Him being a pedophile won’t change any of that.

Basically I put news in 2 categories:

1. Actual impactful policy
2. Keeping up with the Kardashians

Epstein is category 2 for all I’m concerned. Nothing will happen to Trump. At worst he doesn’t serve a 3rd term, which is fine, but his base isn’t going to just embrace democracy after this.

Yea like excuse me? I had my ass beat in 2020, I’ve been protesting here in Chi, and my community has been fucking up ICE. Look what their head said about Chicago. He hates us. Because we don’t fuck with ICE the way New York just let them stroll right in.

Sit down, Americans aren’t as lazy as you think we are. We arrested our governor and we’ll bring that to the white house.

Y’all-qaeda is going to have to get through us northerners first, and there are some of us who have been preparing . 🔫🫡

I for one am not going to let my country’s army take a meter of my extended family’s homeland as long as I’m above ground. Also good luck on suppressing and insurgency in Chicago before heading north.

IF I WENT TO HOGWARTS I WOULD USE PHYSICAL VIOLENCE

NO MAGIC SPELLS ARE GONNA WORK ON ME

I’D BE SNAPPING SOME WANDS SUPLEXING THE GOBLINS

POLYJUICE POTION?

NAH IM DRINKING CREATINE.

WENGARDIUM LEVIOSA?

HOW BOUT YOU SHUT THE HELL UP.

AVADA KEDAVRA?

AVADA THESE NUTS.

More of a huge moment of reflection. I wrote a song that night.

were they cruel

were they kind

were they the best years you could find?

Did the guilt

make you collapse

did your heart turn into glass?

Did you stop press play rewind

at the end of 29?

Does the “other” category really just mean blimps? Because I hope it means blimps.

Just saw the recent south park episode- absolutely killed. Poor Cartman is nothing withoutout the woke 😢

Sounds like a “No True Scott” situation pal

Mike Lee? The same guy who laughed in the face of 9/11 first responders pleading for health care due to the cancer they developed from the debris of the twin towers, and then said “you must have some great stories to tell!”?

If anything, in my 30 years I’ve learned degrees only mean so much. Someone without a degree but with actual on the job experience will out perform a new grad any day of the week.

Frankly the university system has become a way to make sure the poor stay poor.
