let’s celebrate acts of defiance Governors are already saying no to Donald

one year ago today, I wrote a post called "let’s celebrate acts of defiance." I think it still holds up. the people I wrote about three days after the election are still pretty much the people leading the way a year later.

I’m so fed up with this propaganda that’s been shoved down our throats for the past 50 years, about how it’s not government’s job to help people. fuck you completely. helping its people is literally what a government is for. FDR’s New Fucking Deal (yes, that’s what it was called in the first draft) provided a well-funded social safety net that lifted millions of Americans out of poverty and created the strongest middle class we’ve ever seen. look, it’s nice that some churches are willing to step into the breach and feed their communities as best they can — but they can’t do it alone. they don’t have the resources of a federal government. I can’t believe I have to explain this to the Lieutenant Governor of an entire state. fuck you fuck you fuck you.

THE DUMB-ASS LT. GOV. OF INDIANA IS OUT HERE SAYING IT'S NOT THE GOVERNMENT'S JOB TO HELP PEOPLE. HE CAN FUCK OFF WITH THAT SHIT, STRAIGHT INTO THE SEA. I COVER ALL THIS AND MORE IN "THIS WEEK IN STUPID," MY VERY STRONG LOOK AT THE DUMBEST FUCKING SHIT THAT HAPPENED. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/49HMBHi

Jeff calls out what the MSM totally ignores: this racist group in charge of every branch of the government has hate at its core. Not just hate, either. Nazi hate. Fascist hate.

listen up, Republicans: the correct answer to ‘how much Nazi is the right amount of Nazi’ is, of course, ZERO NAZI. Nazism is repugnant, and everything Nazis stood for should be rejected. I can’t believe I even have to explain this to you shitwits. we fought a whole fucking war about this, remember?

WHY THE FUCK ARE REPUBLICAN DUMB-ASSES ARGUING OVER JUST HOW MUCH NAZISM IS AN ACCEPTABLE AMOUNT OF NAZISM WITHIN THEIR OWN PARTY? SPOILER ALERT: IT'S BECAUSE REPUBLICANS FUCKING SUCK, THAT'S WHY. THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY POST. LINK IS HERE: bit.ly/4otbkDN
