Where are all of those antiestablishment free speech comedians. Don’t they have a whole lot of things to say about free speech and how the state is bad. You know. The authoritarian state. That bad old authoritarian state. Death panels. Stuff like that

So why are the anti-government right wingers using the tools of the authoritarian state? They don’t like the state. Why are they using the tools of the state? Makes you think. Makes you ponder.

In his case he is just being a child playing with his toys. And he does not know how to put them away. Crack baby you know

His followers are trying to martyr him. Even the vice president spreads out marbles at the top of the stairs every morning.

And if their followers can’t take a little gentle poke in the ribs. From a soldier. Geez I thought you guys loved soldiers. If they can’t take a little poke in the ribs. From a soldier. Well.

This is literally what I think about when a politician tells me what a good Christian they are and that they go to church and I think well what did they do there.

They are hard-core about it. They drink his blood and everything.

If you’ve never been to a Christian store they specialize in a theme of a man being tortured. Don’t worry. It was all legal. It was the end of a legal situation. There was a trial and everything.

If you go to a Christian store you can now buy a commemorative Charlie Kirk shot glass. And you can get really loaded when you drink from your Charlie Kirk shot glass. Really loaded.

More Than 170 U.S. Citizens Have Been Held by Immigration Agents. They’ve Been Kicked, Dragged and Detained for Days. The government does not track how often immigration agents grab citizens. So ProPublica did. Our tally — almost certainly incomplete — includes people who were held for days without a lawyer. And near...

Justice Brett Kavanaugh: “If the officers learn that the individual they stopped is a U.S. citizen...they promptly let the individual go."

The reality: Americans have been dragged, tackled, beaten, tased and shot by immigration agents.

A must read from the very talented @nicolefoy.bsky.social:

Sometimes when a OP looks like one kind of dullard they may turn out to be another kind of dullard. Altogether. But anyway. Dullards RULE in disUnited States!

I could personally tell you about some disgusting notes from management at a newspaper telling their reporters to slant stories in a right wing way. That’s part of the job. You know. In America.

That post was made by an award-winning journalist.

In the 1970s they would say follow the money but we don’t got that kind of investigative reportage these days at our news reporting Doohickey outlets.

But they couldn’t have got there without their bipartisan friends. But what are they gonna do to them? They’re scorpions. They’re snakes. What do you think they’re gonna do.

Basically this is what the Democrats are getting because they let the Republicans define them and define policy for decades. So the Republicans did. They are the namer of names. They are the doer of deeds.

This is insanity

They are able to get away with this because the current Democratic Party is so unliked by a broad spectrum of the American public. Best thing they could do? Entirely new leadership which they won’t do. Just the truth. These aren’t fighters.

I was an elected Democrat. From a family heavily involved with the Democratic Party. Lunches with governors. Congress people. Senators. I know these people. And I am telling you. You can’t trust them. And they are not the same people they were even 30 years ago. They are not.

At a Democratic convention. I have been over with the elected officials. Listening to them talk privately. When they thought there were only friendly ears. Talking about. The rank and file filth. Which is how they feel about you. That’s true. Why do you think I don’t like them.

I still have the election certificate. Which looks fancier than my diploma from college. Because they are all about show. In that business.

Just like my political posts are made by someone who actually was an elected Democrat. And knows exactly what he’s talking about.

By the way this post was written by a society of professional journalists excellence in journalism award winner. Who knows what he is talking about.

And why do reporters have to be at the office every day. Because they don’t do any investigating. Pour me another coffee. Hand me the bulletin the rich people want me to pass along

imagine laying off a politics reporter based in portland oregon in the year 2025

Personally, I didn’t like “meritocracy” even back when it was called “the divine right of kings.”

I can’t keep up with all the evil Fox News celebrities! Sometimes you just gotta say they is all evil! Shugs shoulders. What are you gonna do. C’est la vie.
