Does this guy truly not know that NY has elected a socialist before? And named a goddamn airport after him?

I get Ned Flanders here is a Shreveport Cockroach who doesn't know shit, but do people (like him) who continue to go off about how this election was "unprecedented" truly not recall that NY has elected an avowed socialist before, and they even named an airport after him?

Oh wait, he was Italian.

That $130 is probably going to go up some no-neck’s nose

We’re way past that friend

That’s an unmarked vehicle, isn’t it? (Can’t see if it has govt plates or not)

C'mon, let's be fair here. They needed someone to fill the "Milquetoast Idiot" void that Thomas Friedman has left in his semi-retirement.

I don't understand why it hasn't been shouted from the rooftops that this "movement" is an astroturf project supported by people like the Heritage Foundation and Peter Thiel (again, do these guys ever sleep)?

Also Ezra Klein: "Got a fat check to endorse this...what's it called, 'Abundance? Sounds like a great idea. Deregulation! Rules are for 70s dinosaur liberalism!

Huh? You're asking who signed the check? Let me look. It's a...'Theter Piel.' No idea who he is. But he sure has ideas!"

I remember my dad driving around listening to Rush Limbaugh in the 90s.

I’ve seen Glenn Beck in person and witnessed the ooze he radiates.

I saw my grandmother who was an ardent liberal (she had busts of FDR and JFK) and who had once supported _Jesse Jackson_ go birther > Trumper.

It’s all mad.

Honestly there’s a lot of story you can wring out of that place that nobody remotely has.

And I’m not just saying that as someone who has shamefully had an active Forums account for over two decades.

Emotional support alligator is no longer welcome in Pennsylvania Walmart Wesley Silva, 60, says he's never had anything but encouraging feedback when he's out and about with Jinseioshi.

Don't ever talk to me or Jinseiyoshi-san again!

And if that's the case, what do we tolerate in the face of it? What's justified and what's not?

That's probably the conversation people should be happening rather than comparing this dead man to someone like MLK. (Don't think I didn't see what you did there, CNN). They're not having it though.

So that comes back to a question or two. Are this administration and its enablers an example of fascism? I'm inclined to believe so.

We've certainly been TOLD this was the case for the past several years by the same Democratic Party figures and liberals in the press, etc. (Continued)

If I'm viewing what happened to him as something I'm not particularly sad about (to put it mildly), it's not because of his "beliefs."

It's because he put tangible, material work into a regime which is effectively destroying the country I live in for what feels like a long time to come. (Continued)

We don't even know why the shooter did what he did, so a bit of moral grandstanding feels out of place here.

Kirk collaborated with several P2025 authors, among other things, and it seems pretty rich to hear the same people who told us fascism was coming ad infinitum order us to be sad. (Continued)

You can keep repeating "no one should be subjected to violence for their beliefs" ad infinitum. There's more to it than that. Kirk was a material part of this current regime.

In JD Vance's own words: "He didn't just help us win in 2024, he helped us staff the entire government." (Continued)

In several talks, I've been sort of cleaning up and structuring my thoughts on all this.

Nobody should be asking/telling you how to feel about what happened. You can regret everything or believe he had it coming. Stop telling us to feel bad for not feeling bad about it. Or vice-versa. (Continued)

O

Anyway, you’re still stuck with this guy. You called the cops but they laughed at you or worse.

You really can’t just throw him out in the street.

Right?

Some asshole named Pete drinks all your booze and creeps on every woman in the place.

You think a couple of these guys are professional wrestlers?

Some yakked-up South African moron started sieg heiling, dipped into the bad shit, and takes a swing at your grandpa before he storms out in a huff—

_Immediately_ after he’s gone — look outside. Asshole Granddad is _back_, baby, and he brought his bloodthirsty, sociopathic, idiot friends who he only hangs out with because they kiss his ass.

Now he’s doing all the horrible shit as he was before, and Jon Voight won’t put the toilet seat down —

This grandpa is a bit of bullshit gladhander. Also, he’s sundowning rapidly. Turns out he’s been progressively incompetent since he showed up, after Old Granddad got everyone deathly sick.

Finally New Granddad realizes he’s gotta go retire for good and just wanders off into the woods. —

He nearly bankrupted you, threatened and insulted your friends, redecorated your place to look like Saddam Hussein and one of several Joe Pesci character just became the same guy.

One day, he finally left. Then your other grandpa came over offering to fix what the other one fucked up. BUT—

What’s it like?

Imagine your most assholish racist granddad from the inner suburbs of some manner of rust belt city came to live with you, in your place, 24/7.

He’s got nowhere else to go and you can’t just legally throw him in the street in front of a train. Also train’s broke, times are tough—

Oh yeah, the algorithm just dug into the real good stuff.

Probably the most hilarious thing (to me) about this principle is the fact that it was "cOnSeRvAtIvEs" who for decades and decades pushed the principle that an employer could fire you at any time for any reason.

"But not like THAT!"

That wouldn't be a very good use of this special ceremonial BEEF

Keep pretending that there's any solution to this but the sword, and the worse it's going to get.

Immigration agents told a teenage US citizen: ‘You’ve got no rights.’ He secretly recorded his brutal arrest Video from Kenny Laynez-Ambrosio, 18, puts fresh scrutiny on the harsh tactics used to reach the Trump administration’s ambitious enforcement targets

Another officer says, “They’re starting to resist more now,” to which an officer replies: “We’re going to end up shooting some of them.”

Don't give people ideas, buddy.

Remember how things went down with the Pinkertons.
