Once upon a time, American soldiers handed out food to Germans because *they* had followed a fascist madman into national ruin.

How times change.

“They think that they’re tough. They have no idea how tough we are. They think that they’re hardcore. We are so much more hardcore than they are.”

--Stephen Miller speaking to Memphis police earlier this month.

I think some of them know they’re not smart, didn’t do well in school, and resent that there’s no place for them with the smart kids because they always feel looked down on. So why not go with the guy who says I represent stupid people?

Biden had the best first year of a president in my lifetime. That doesn’t make up for all the wrong he did.

Was just thinking ICE agent could be a pretty cheap outfit if you’re trying to be scary.

there are almost certainly more people — more blue collar laborers, specifically — involved in the cultivation and production of chardonnay grapes and wine than in coal

Fact

An air of sadness hangs over 9/11 this year

I should probably sign more, but this is what I’m afraid of.

Our youngest president was 42 (Teddy Roosevelt).

I was really hoping we were done with this bitch.

If people are remembering the post ten years later it’s a success.

“Why can’t the under 40 voters support the people I want?”

I don’t think anyone is prepared for what they just did w/ ICE.

This is not a simple budget increase. It is an explosion - making ICE bigger than the FBI, US Bureau of Prisons, DEA,& others combined.

It is setting up to make what’s happening now look like child’s play. And people are disappearing.

I think justices should be like the Pope. You have to be pretty old before you can even get placed so there’s an even chance you’ll die in the next presidential term.

I can’t speak for every city, but here in LA, ICE bounty hunters aren’t going after gang members. They’re hunting the vulnerable: gardeners, street vendors, day laborers.

Easy money, no risk.

Folks need to stop pretending this is about crime.

@jacobsoboroff.bsky.social—thank you for your words.

That is what I mainly remember about him from back then.

Education must have gotten much worse, or else when I homeschooled through elementary and middle school, I got a better education about history than most, because I remember reading about Sumner.

If you were too young in 2003 here is what Bush told the American people:

1) The Iraq War won’t cost a lot of money
3) We won’t need a lot of troops
4) We’ll bring peace and freedom to Iraq
5) We’ll find WMDs
6) We’ll be welcomed as liberators
7) It will be easy
8) It won’t take long

All lies.

Only that you don’t get to rewrite history just because the people running against this fool might’ve been slightly preferable to what we got.

John Bolton's mustache grew two sizes today.

Remember when we had that other building in DC along with the White House? It was full of politicians? Con-something? Anyway.

Those were true though. Just because this guy is starting a war doesn’t make what Biden did (or didn’t do) not really bad.

MAGA = Neo-Cons
Trump = Bush

And the reason for going to war with Iran is the same reason we went to war with Iraq: to HAVE a war in which we can destroy our own weapons and other ordnance so we have to SPEND BILLIONS TO BUY REPLACEMENTS

It’s a good thing Congress isn’t alive to see this

illegal war started by a man constitutionally ineligible to be president

He later says his aunt was tortured by Castro, but it makes the clip less funny.
