Progress or Backwards

Jokes on them!

I just got back from a very exclusive spa experience of opiate substitute infused golden showers and it was very expensive.

This strange man wants to give it to me for an honest analysis in a cooked market?

Please read my new think piece on why AOC should always be campaigning for the highest office in the land. In fact, many other Democrats would benefit from the lesson the Republicans and Trump' team understand, BE THE STORY, THERE IS NO BAD PRESS. (*subtext here is always have a fired-up base)

The weirdest thing is that even though Trump is in the White House again, has his people placed everywhere, is that all those things he said on the campaign that you were aggrieved about and said only he could fix?

It has occurred to me that, fundamentally, NYC is dirty because of racism. At different times, in different ways, and it undergirds all the thought and ideas on every other aspect of the city and its structure.

It's too bad MAGA doesn't spend as much time condemning the pedo in the Oval Office as they did with the guy in the tan suit.

They are on a schedule, they have plans to follow, and the truth has no bearing on their supporter bubble.

All Bubba needs to do, with Hillary holding his hand, is tell Congress he may have had sex with other women, but that Donald definitely had sex with kids.

Then pull out his secret presidential ring of power, say “Absolute Immunity losers”, and disappear.

Draft dodger who has been recorded and is in the record saying he thinks military members are chumps. Was there a dimensional slip in 2016? How did this happen? Has this been a billionaire funded cover-up since 2016?

Comedians are unironically the best bellwether for how fascist the times we are living in actually are.

At least Europe is fully engaged in the battle for truth and justice.

When people ask for a definition of "reactionary centrist" I just point them at any Thomas Chatterton Williams article. The most uncharitable caricature could not compete with his actual writing

So many fancy words to say, “Slavery, it’s complicated.” when there were people, abolitionist, all along, who very publicly opposed the institution.

I wonder as I sit here now seeing a murderous agenda to make a group more easily exploited, how much am I benefiting? Do people know about Uyghurs?

The fact that I’m in my 40’s and I am still hearing pundits talk about the same people in Congress my whole life and we are where we are as a nation is a big problem.

This is what happens when you’re surrounded by craven greedy sycophants and have a trillion dollar conservative media machine behind you ready to cut, chop, AI slop shine, him to being the quintessential “Sigma MAGA Male”.

“Did you know God saved him so he could save us? Now let’s pray.”

I have known some of the most intelligent, overly educated, complete morons and can only guess they’re disassociating so hard they’ve left the atmosphere. If only they had been dong actual methodic scientific research and not just writing a wordy op-ed. SMH

She probably already misses David Brooks, who just won't go away with his well written fash apologist garbage.

I have, through my kind heart and open eyes, always been on the side of the Black and Hispanic community, always ready to give and crack jokes about my decadent white suburban upbringing.

With family in MS and visits there, I saw what the Republican Party was, and the whitewashing of the truth.

I was smarter than every one of my friends that tested into TJHS and they knew it and we used to check the DC prep school kids into the boards when playing lacrosse and their cries sounded like everyone else’s.

We all shit and bleed the same. You can’t let these fools put their noses up.

They are ghouls. Literally feeding off the death of thousands of children.

The most corrupt pro-Putin president in US history endorses the most corrupt pro-Putin leader in Europe.

The don't have a teleprompter and script anymore to make them sound like they know what they are talking about. Republicans all voted to support their nominations is just another clear sign there is no redemption for that whole lot. Remember MTG left Congress rather than be attached to them.

He has gained the support of tech barons, the billionaires, the wealthiest families that own a majority of everything in America with these acts. Then he has pardoned some huge criminals involved in massive fraud and smuggling operations.

He has the most powerful crime family imaginable.

What a bunch of fucking losers. Not one backbone in the three of them, just craven greed and the total lack of any morality.

Moms in bathrobes and slippers, dads squinting at their smartphones, these boys playing "soldier" with zero training and piles of lawsuits building against them never stood a chance.

Anecdotes like this should be cherished and remembered for whatever after times come, as signs of hope in the resistance or to celebrate our struggle and victory against the oppressors.
