Neil? Is that you?

Charlie Kirk did not deserve to die…

He deserved to live long enough to see his legacy of hate and vitriol discredited, and to be publicly shamed for his message of intolerance.

I don’t condone political violence, but I also don’t believe in manufactured pathos that ignores the damage he did.

If they had given the Epstein list to Pete Hegseth, we would already have it 🤷‍♂️

Actual comment seen in a thread earlier:

“I’m not worried about cuts to Medicaid because I have AHCCCS”

Oh you poor, simple, deluded pathetic little soul…🤦‍♂️

Happy Heavenly Birthday, America. You are missed.

I don’t know if this is Panem, Gilead, or the Republic of Dystopia. Whatever it is, it feels blasphemous to call it America.

Disgusting, hypocritical, perverse, and blasphemous.

ICE has to wear balaclavas and sunglasses to cover their faces.

Why? Because white hoods with eye holes would be too damn obvious 🤷‍♂️

When Moses came down from Mount Sinai and saw his people worshiping the golden calf, he was furious.

Imagine how formidable the rage of Jesus would be if he came down and saw his people worshiping Trump.

It’s one thing to cross the Rubicon, it’s quite another to take a giant shit in it.

Remember: if you are a convicted criminal, a has-been, a C-List celebrity or just an underqualified discredited schmuck…the Right Wing will embrace you and give you either a Fox News job or a cabinet position.

The Right Wing is the domain of the discredited, the inept, the unqualified, the washed-up, the morally bankrupt, and the hopelessly clueless.

If you’re a celebrity, an influencer, author or public figure and your career has faltered, just know the Right Wing will embrace you with open arms.

I really miss having a government that didn’t resemble the goddamn Jerry Springer show🤦‍♂️

So last year, people forgot what airplanes look like (airliners suddenly became “drones“ or whatever).

This year, it seems people have forgotten what the sun looks like through wildfire smoke.🤦‍♂️

If you focus on and frequently quote the parts of the Bible that allow you to condemn others, but you completely ignore the parts that *command* you to help others, then you’re not a Christian…

You’re just an asshole🤷‍♂️

In case anyone was still laboring under the delusion that it was ever about “efficiency“🤦‍♂️

Headline of the day: Steven Miller’s wife runs off with Elon Musk.

You know folks, it’s one thing to talk about karma as a concept …it’s quite another to see it play out in the real world in a very public and very tangible way.

I suppose the same could be said about Schadenfreude. 🤷‍♂️

Administration claims we need more skilled workers, but then shuts down Job Corps…

This administration is the living embodiment of the old expression “Pissing down your back and telling you it’s raining.”

Who else thinks it’s time we start pissing back?

Our chief executive should be held to:

A. The highest standard possible, or

B. The most lax standard imaginable.

For the past 4 years, the GOP would have answered “A”. However, for the past 4 months they’ve answered “B”.

What a disgrace.

For American Evangelical Republicans, Jesus is nothing more than a subterfuge.

I’m a US Army veteran; that means I swore an oath to “protect and defend…”

The MAGA folks appear to have sworn oaths to “defect and pretend…”

We are not the fuckin same 🤷‍♂️

How I know it’s Summer:

1. What was my 6am bathroom routine is now my 10am bathroom routine.

2. ^It’s twice as long

3. If I need hot water, I just turn on the cold water tap*

(*not a fan of that last one)

Never forget:

Harvard rejected Barron Trump’s application but accepted Malia Obama’s…

That’s what this is all about.

We will never have a free society until we can openly discuss uncomfortable truths.

Also, the 2nd amendment exists to protect the the 1st.

Buy guns and ammo while you can.

$480 at Safeway for a week’s worth of groceries for my family of three. This is over $100 more than it would’ve been this time last year.

Anyone who says “the prices are coming down!“ has gotta be full of a very specific flavor of shit that I simply cannot afford to sample for myself.

If you believe in detaining and deporting migrants simply for the crime of looking for a better life, talking away food and shelter and benefits from the poor and sick and disadvantaged, oppressing people because they are different…

Then you may be “on the the right”, but you’re not *in* the right.

Daily headline:

“Federal Judge blocks yet another ridiculously illegal Trump executive order”

I guess we should be grateful to ICE for reminding us all that white privilege is in fact very real.

Nobody’s knocking on my door demanding my papers. Can’t imagine why.

My MIL who voted for Trump 3 times is having a FAFO moment because one of her employees (who is a fully-documented legal Venezuelan migrant) may be getting arrested and deported on the way to their immigration hearing tomorrow.

Her heart is finally in the right place 6 months too late. 🤦‍♂️

Most of us are familiar with Dunning-Kruger Effect and what that means, but I would like to start a trend where we reference what I call the Kavanaugh-Rittenhouse Effect:

This is where a person’s attempts to make themselves appear innocent only end up making them appear more guilty 🤷‍♂️

Last day of work for teachers at my school. I’ve been doing a lot of moving around the last few years and I really love my new school.

I’m very much looking forward to coming back in the fall, but these last few days have been an absolute shit show and I’m ready for a long break.
