I KNEW the comment would be deleted.

I hate that people do that. I really do.

Own it!

lol

I hate to say it bud, but just like everything else he has ever done, it will be swept under the rug. People will stop worrying about it. He’ll pardon anyone involved if it ever even comes close to coming out.

All this bullshit about, “he said he’d release the Epstein files!!”

That isn’t what I remember.

What I remember is them asking about declassifying this and that, “yes, yeah, absolutely”. When asked about the Epstein files, “yes. Well, maybe not so much that one. I don’t want innocent people caught up in that.”

I’m paraphrasing and doing my best to quote, but every article I read fails to mention that. I can’t even find it when I search for it.

It was clear from before the election that he would keep those covered up.

When he said that, people cared for about ten seconds. When he sent his people to overthrow the government, his base cared for about 10 seconds and then blamed “ainteefuh”.

When he pardoned all of those “ainteefuh”, no one batted an eye. Even people who looked me in the eyes and swore that it mattered. “He’s gonna do it on a case by case basis.” They said. “He won’t just pardon them all, it would send a terrible message.”

One week later, “Well, they were political prisoners. It wasn’t as bad as the news made it look.”

FUCK Donald Trump. He can do anything he wants to do. The rest of us need to just bend over. That is reality now.

I’m sorry.

We’ll see how it goes in 2028. I ain’t got high hopes. I wish I could have high hopes. Reality has shown me that my high hopes are silly.

Sorry to be all doom and gloom. You can tell me all day that the sky is neon pink, but I can see with my own eyes that it’s still blue.

And there it is.

Half agree with you, the other half still believe in a sane world where laws matter and mean something.

Man.

I’ll never own weapons myself. I have one pistol that probably can’t even fire a shot. It’s old, it’s cheap, it’s half broken.

Even if it could, I don’t believe in violence, and even if I did I’m not built for it.

Still, I have studied some history. I know that it is necessary at times. It won’t ever be me though. I couldn’t ever harm another human being.

If that means I lose, fuck it. Life is short anyway.

I rarely see a Tesla where I’m from.

I went to Charlotte to see Modest Mouse in June and I couldn’t even count the Teslas. It really surprised me.

I swear to god everyone driving them appeared to be Indian. Not that it really matters, I just found it interesting.

This isn’t what anyone is celebrating.

They don’t think for a second that Musk will do anything positive.

What they’re hoping for is republicans to split somewhere near the middle, some in support of MAGAts and some in support of Musk, which could lead to more people voting for a democrat than a republican. Votes that would have gone toward a MAGAt will go to Musk. That is the prayer.

This is United States Social Media Compliance and Monitoring. Remain at your current location. Do not attempt to flee. You will be captured and molested. No one has ever escaped. Remain calm. Hail Barron. Long live the king.

Yep. Now protesters are being deported. I believe that everyone who sat this out over that issue has blood on their hands and I don’t care if it hurts their feelings to hear it.

We went from having a chance to having no chance.

Their inaction isn’t entirely the reason, but a lot more people are going to be suffering than otherwise would have, all around the world.

The cuts to medical aid around the world, children going hungry, etc. Who knows, we might even get another pandemic. Wouldn’t that be rad?!

And you’re goddamn right. They ate propaganda and now get to feel good about doing nothing in their own minds.

I’ve been saying for about 5 years, maybe better, that she is the person I am most excited to vote for as president of the United States one day.

I don’t even have another name in mind.

I will be as happy to vote for her as I was for Sanders in the primaries, twice. I legit can’t wait.

I am surprised that the “thank ya fer ya service” crowd isn’t throwing a fit.

Thank you for your service mostly means, “look at me being a real good boy! Are you happy I’m a real good boy?! I thought about joining! Did you know that I thought about it? Mama said I have flat feet. Did I say thank you for your service?”

Well, this dude did fire a random shot into a crowd and hit a pregnant teenager. He got out of prison early and was picked up by ICE from there.

Dude has a serious brain injury and PTSD. He should have received the best treatment he could get. He should have received citizenship immediately upon earning his Purple Heart (or fighting for the US in the first place). He should have been afforded a path to a decent life.

He wasn’t. He committed a senseless crime, probably directly as a result of his brain injury and ptsd that he got defending a country he had lived in since he was a toddler.

Even considering his violent act, he spent over a decade in prison and “paid his debt to society”. Of course it isn’t about that. It isn’t about rehabilitation. It’s about punishment, and because he happened to be born a few years before his family brought him here, before he could ever even think about where he wanted to be, he gets to live the rest of his life in misery.

A recipient of a Purple Heart, a war hero. And oh boy, he’s gonna spend the rest of his life paying for that.

Breaks my heart and I wish I could help him in some way.

I get where you’re coming from. I’m an isolated nobody from nowhere with no interest in anything but riding out my time on this rock haha.

If I had as much to think about, I’d be more conscious of those things as well. You have to be.

Thank goodness I don’t. Sometimes I get depressed when I think about who I am and how nihilism and lack of opportunity has made it impossible for me to participate in humanity (hillbilly from the middle of nowhere, 2nd poorest place in America). I’m glad I don’t have that kind of anxiety though. I’m not built for it.

Or maybe I was. I’ll never know.

We should always talk first and roll our eyes later, huh?

If I like a song by the Spice Girls I’m telling everyone.

I do. It’s 2 Become 1. It’s cheesy as hell and I’ve been listening to it since I was 10 years old. Check it out. You’ll probably hate it. I don’t.

Most of the US doesn’t care what the pope has to say.

Reread dude’s comment man. He laid it all out.

Derrrrr

I always give to Wikipedia. I’m poor as shit, but anytime I see that banner they gonna get some money.

NOTHING has been as useful for me in the last 20 years. I have learned so much I’ve forgotten over half of it.

I’m a hillbilly who has no education past around the 5th grade. It has been invaluable to me. I wouldn’t be who I am without it. Honestly without the internet as a whole, but especially Wikipedia.

Ain’t you about to be da fiddy first state doe?

Xitter. Its poppin’!

I would vote for the ghost of Bernie Sanders. I’m not talking about a hypothetical ghost either because Bernie isn’t a fucking liar and wouldn’t want folks to have faith that he exists. He’d fly right up to the microphone with that badass accent of his and let the assholes have it just like he does now, only with supernatural powers that come with being a ghost.

I hope that someday we live in a world where that can happen.

Maybe if she gets a few felonies.
