Only A Bag

So, what, they all pass this insanely garbage bill and bail? Couldn’t have bailed beforehand in a modicum of decency?

It’s such a shame how the Court used to feel somewhat respectable rather than this complete farce.

Sounds like you want to go to war with your own country but you're not sure if the country can handle you saying that, so you just heavily imply it in a fairly incoherent soundbite.

Why is it, in photos like this, that everyone looks like they just learned how to give a thumbs-up?

I think we recognize being sold out, right?
It’s not about popularity so much as nearly everyone looking at the bill thinking, “So, how does this help me??”

How does one even advertise for that? “Evil? Looking for a job? Apply now! Blood-stained hands not required, but welcome!”

Looks like a beautiful time!

The shadow of an artist falls on an easel with a landscape painting on it. At the bottom of the image, a portion of the artists palette is visible. Behind the easel is a large open field with mountains in the background.

An artist’s easel sits in a field surrounded by mountains. On the easel is a landscape painting and the artist’s palette.

Point of view painting from this calm and magical spot. Thunder rumbled through and bees buzzed happily around me as sheep and cows roamed through the fields.

It's genuinely so heartbreaking: the idea of empty cells being seen as a failure for a country rather than a success.

An oil painting of a landscape. In the background is a beige building in front of large mountains and a blue sky. In the foreground is a large grassy field. To the right a path is barely visible, it is lined with trees. Between the oath and the field is a large tree with yellow and green leaves.

Plein air painting in the valley! I had to dodge a lot of fun bugs and spiders for this one 😅

That's absolutely insane.

Awesome. Our tax dollars in the hands of private companies to keep people locked up.
And, even though you write migrants, we actually have zero way of knowing that seeing as everyone's been pretty fast and loose with due process.
Wild that anyone could actually agree with this.

With our eyes wide shut, baby! Pretending it's all okay because that bill doesn't affect me personally and there's no way they would pass a bill that WOULD affect me personally, because what kind of ghoul would do that?

Out of curiosity, is the photo a stock photo from a different time? Or do they have sprinklers going during a drought?
I’m based in southern Italy—currently drought conditions—and they’re cutting things like sprinklers/fountains, at least on small towns.

Amazing to admit to this.
“We voted to strip away healthcare because Trump promised to also fuck up the planet.”
Gorgeous work.

“Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story.”
I know what she means, but damn, this 100% sounds like “Yeah, don’t worry about losing healthcare, here’s a story as to why you’re losing that healthcare.”

I mean, yeah. I feel like that’s a pretty founded accusation seeing as they did everything they could to not air it.

They forgot to ask Trump what they should do, the spineless cowards.

And why not name them? Why not directly challenge them?

“People who need it the most.”
“Putting work requirements.”

Yeah, okay.

This is them just saying, “Need chemo? How about you get a job first; there’s no free lunches here.”

Can’t see how this won’t go terribly.

“His approach to diplomacy has worked.”
Damn, is that what bombing Iran is called? Diplomacy?

Such a cool idea/project!

Good. Now, create action. We should all be eyeing it with envy. It should no longer be moderate purple Democrats running against the walking personifications of religious fanaticism. Who wants to go vote when it's "Kill all the foreigners" vs. "I mean, don't KILL them..."

Well, thank God we have Trump's economic prowess to see us through. For a second there, I thought we'd have to rely on some idiot with, like, a Master's in Economics.

You know, like health care.

So we have some GOP members pretending they won't vote for the bill but ultimately will because "it's in the interest of my state/congressional district." and those who will just outright vote for it, gleefully, and pretend that they "didn't know it was that bad" when the deaths start. Awesome.

Is he just straight-up laughing/smiling at 0:14? Like, even he thinks it's total bullshit.

Thank God Leo DiCaprio covered his face in all those photos from the wedding celebrations. I almost didn't recognize the founder of the Leonardo DiCaprio Foundation, "a non-profit organization devoted to promoting environmental awareness" at the wedding for one of the worst offenders.

Good point! No fear there.

An even bigger question would be: if they arrest and detain a US citizen on account of having a darker skin tone, what's to stop them from doing it again and again once that person is released? Who is going to stop ICE from making citizens' life a living hell?
