I'm already on the paxlovid so here's hoping.
Damn damn damn!
I just wanted to get old and fade away in my retirement, I'm to fucking old and broken for fighting and my adventuring days are long gone.
So yesterday evening we went to Ikea to get some things for my stepson's new apartment. There was practically no one there and we got in and out hassle free. Because earth is a self balancing ball of shit in order to equalize our good luck I'm now as sick as damned dog. Fuck you karma.
People aren't are willing to use any means necessary to remove and destroy this fascist authoritarian. Also if you mean just VonShitzhispantz we have to remove him, Jay Dee Vance (or whatever his fucking name really is), Johnson, the entire Heritage Foundation, Thiel, and a lot more to get it back.
People aren't. They mostly want to stay out of prison, keep their jobs, and not get disappeared by secret police.
If we get both houses back and the oval office I hope they have the guts to disband the DHS and go away with ICE, TSA, and put Space Force back in the Air Force where it belongs.
If the didn't vote for Clinton in '16 Biden in '20 or Harris in '24 they voted for it 3 times and worse whether they knew it or not.
“The CDC you knew is over,”, frankly I think the same thing can be said for the entire federal government. I just 8 months the Heritage Foundation has been able to wound the fed so deeply it may never be able to serve the residents of out nation as it should.
Great, maybe they can go aft $cientology while they're at it.
Not unless we have an election and the Democrats win it in '28.
I wonder how many will have Pam Bondi's fucking brother as their lawyer? I smell fix every time he has a client with federal charges.
5 million to her family as well. I'm pretty sure trump's DOJ is going to make every Jan 6er he pardoned a millionaire.
Military Times really knows how to take the piss out of a bullshit deployment. www.militarytimes.com/off-duty/mil...
Traitorous veteran Ashli Babbitt is retroactively authorized a funeral with military honors. taskandpurpose.com/news/ashli-b...
I wonder what my brother in law, who recently retired from the CDC would say about this. I would ask him but I cut contact with my sisters and their husbands in 2017 because they are up to their eyeballs in MAGA hypocrisy.
The DHS was a bad idea from the start. There's too much power for surveillance, investigation, and broad scale enforcement for one agency. All it ever needed to become the American Gestapo or Stazi was a bad faith executive branch and now it's happened.
With every word that came out of her mouth I could feel the average IQ of the entire planet drop just a little.
As a veteran I encourage everyone that wants to burn a flag to do so. The constitution is more important than the flag.
At least while they're picking up trash they're not violating the Posse Comitatus Act.
Well I promise to vote against the Republicans and vote for the liberal candidates who are most likely to be elected while I push the party towards equality for the LGBTQ community, racial minorities, as well as ensuring every person is afforded constitutional protections and due process.
I vote pragmatically and I believe every vote is a compromise. I'm confident that it's far easier to move the needle closer to equality and equity when there's a majority of Democrats in our government.
The bill for gold spray paint must be through the roof.
Fakers. You can buy all the shit they're wearing on ebay, amazon, and at surplus shops.
I also think it's very likely that 2024 will be the last national election we have for a while. Not enough people familiarized themselves with the contents of Project 2025 to realize what was at stake.
I will cast my vote for the Democratic candidate even if it's someone I disagree with because to not is a vote for secret police, death camps, & white nationalist christian fascism.
I wish Cracker Barrel had changed their name to The Barrel when they changed their logo because it would have been so hilarious to hear Southern white people getting angry over the deletion of the word Cracker.
Well that's the same as a vote for what we have right now. Hope you like it.
So if Newsom ended up as the DNC candidate in 2028, if we even get to have an election, which way would you vote?
The United States doesn't have a king, Executive Orders aren't royal decrees, politicians aren't rulers or leaders they're public servants, the constitution and first amendment still exists, and burning a fucking flag is still legal. If you disagree with any of this kindly go fuck yourself.
I don't believe that the current SCOTUS would rule against trump. They are in on the theft of our country 6 to 3.
trump in name only, he is just the figurehead for the Federalist Society and Heritage Foundation. Everything that's happening is all part of Project 2025.
This fucking ad is being run on the Stars & Stripes website. I subscribe because the first time Shitzhispants was illegally in the oval office he threatened to defund Stars & Stripes. If they keep running ads for the USA SS they can get fucked and I won't miss them.
I'm sure conservatives, MAGAs, and other nazi ku klux assholes with say this is a good thing but we're going to have crops rotting in the fields and other industries will collapse. I hope they remember this when indentured servitude returns to N. America. www.scrippsnews.com/politics/imm...
He's been own by the money he owes to the Russian government, oligarchs, and organized crime (it's all the same really). He will do anything that helps them and strokes his fragile ego at the same time.
The current administration is continuing to move us into a true hot civil war by further violation of the constitution, Posse Comitatus Act, and using the military as a partisan political tool. I look forward to seeing these particular chickens come home to roost. ca.news.yahoo.com/trump-mobili...
Every commander who passes on these unlawful orders and every trooper who follows them is just as liable for committing the crime of violating the Posse Comitatus Act and trump, hegseth, and any other member of the administration that was involved in this.
Could you imagine going through all the training and bullshit it takes to become an agent with the FBI only to end up paving to report to this wall eyed conspiracy theory obsessed imbecile? I often wonder if he and Sarah Sanders were kicked in the head by the same mule.
Further violations of the Posse Comitatus Act. I hope that when and if the leadership of out government becomes more sane that the people responsible for these unlawful orders and the commanders responsible for them being carried out are brought to justice. taskandpurpose.com/news/nationa...
Now we get to wait and see if they just ignore the order. I feel like this will get fast tracked to the SCOTUS docket and the ruling will go in favor of the nazis and their death camp.
I wish you had been with me when I met him at Johnny's Pastrami. Those were the words he said as he walked out.
No. The SS AKA ICE has a fucking budget bigger than the budget for the Marines. This is really bad news because when it comes down to it there's noting that prevents them from doing whatever they like not just immigration enforcement.
I have no idea how we stop this shit but I don't think trying to vote the motherfuckers out of office is going to work. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
Nope. That bullshit has helped us get where we are right now. It's funny how you don't see a lot of atheists running around and trying to take over the world.
I would think that just by putting that cult member in charge they probably already cut the intelligence on the staff by 50-65%. Mission accomplished I suppose.
If every state that has a Democratic majority in their state houses and governorship does not fight fire with fire on this issue and change their congressional maps to counter this then we have handed democracy in N. America to the fascists on a silver platter. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
As to the military academies, for years christian nationalists have been working their way into leadership positions in the academies and into the military officer corps in general. I saw it myself before I left the Marines in 92 and again when I joined the Guard in 01.
Not the one I served in either and out of the 20 years I was in that lasted 30 years because of a break in service the only democrat that was in office while I served was Carter. The officer corps has be bullied into silence with threats to their retirements.
It happens every time you send the Guard anywhere. I was in the Guard for 8 years. we crashed HMMWVs APCs 5 ton trucks self propelled artillery and cop cars. This isnt even for any training it's the GOP trying to compensate for shortcomings in the trouser department. www.stripes.com/theaters/us/...
This just in from the Dipshit Donny and his idiot team are wasting out fucking money news desk. www.scrippsnews.com/us-news/mili...
I'm not a member but I'm in favor of what they are trying to accomplish.
I think this is an excellent opportunity for the Hewy P. Newton Gun Club to take a trip to DC and avail themselves of their 2nd Amendment rights.
If I've said it once I've said it a thousand times but it stands saying again. FUCK TEXAS! www.usatoday.com/story/news/p...
The fact that Gabberd a power hungry member of a power hungry cult as well as an accused undeclared operative for a foreign adversarial government has the authority to revoke security clearances would be laughable if it weren't true. apnews.com/article/trum...
From the start I was telling people that DHS had the potential to turn into a modern version of the Gestapo or Stazi. They have exceeded my bad expectations and ICE has turned into the SS. DHS should have been disbanded a long time ago but it wasn't and we're going to be paying for it. .
The historians are correct. That is exactly what it is and the governors and legislators of the "blue" states are going to be so concerned with not breaking the rules or norms that by the time they make a move it will be way too late.
Yup. It really chaps my hide that all the retired generals are so afraid of the shit stained sham artist going after their retirement bennies that they're just hiding out and keeping quiet. I never thought Mattis would go out like that.
More violations of the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878. I know 147 years is a short time to understand a law but in short it's illegal to use the armed forces against the citizens on US soil and limits the way the N. Guard can be used. So far it has all been unlawful. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
"Just think, if we privatized Social Security, the average retiree could pay over $100k to Wall Street over their lifetime", and lose everything and still end up old, sick, broke, and starving while brokers buy more yachts.
Sadness. I had a lot of good times and ate a lot of fish and chips at that place. www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/a...
If you're lucky enough to live in California log on here and let your state politicians know you opinion on the plan to fight to save democracy in the U.S. through redistricting. aelc.assembly.ca.gov/redistrictin...
According to Wikipedia this traitor is a former U.S. Marine. As a former U.S. Marine myself I believe he should be afforded the fate of traitors from the past. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Do...
When and if the Democratic party retakes control of all 3 branches of government I hope whoever is running the show realizes that not just ICE but the entire Department of Homeland Security needs to be abolished. ICE may be operating like the nazi SS but DHS is literally the Gestapo or Stazi.
We have seen that anything is possible now that checks and balances are dead but the federal government really has no authority over the way states conduct elections. Even less as the courts chip away at voting rights. My concern is the administration stopping elections due to a fake emergency.
We have to figure a way to get people to go to the polls and vote pragmatically instead of abstaining because they see the nominated candidate as less than perfect. I believe that is the reason trump has made it to the oval office twice. Of course this all hinges on a possible future election.
Maybe but probably not in the time I have left. I think we're going to be digging our way out of this mess for 25-30 years.
We're here. Where the fuck are you?
I wouldn't be surprised if the biology portion of the test wants teachers to claim it's A-OK for cousins to get married and populate the state with a wave of genetically compromised wall eyed web toed troglodytes. www.yahoo.com/news/article...
Here's a band I wish I had known about back then.
I would be waiting for another Article 15 if I had been ordered to roll out a red carpet for Putin.
Another violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. Military commanders should face charges for following unlawful orders.
When and if we take back the oval office, the legislative, and judicial branches of our government we must prosecute the people who issued unlawful orders to the N.Guard and the commanders to passed those unlawful order to their units. The Posse Comitatus Act is there to protect the citizens.
Will do. I hope you're doing well.
I think he's lied to himself about himself for his entire life and lying is just second nature to him.
You mean committing violent crimes, not solving or preventing them correct?
See you on Sunday in Burbank next door to the library. www.mobilize.us/indivisible/...
It's not often you get to see a violation of the Posse Comitatus Act recorded lived. Those troops are absolutely following unlawful orders.
Fuckin awesome!
Lets make that one more thing I would be charged with disobeying a direct order for. Lieutenant: Sergeant, get some men and roll out this red carpet for Putin. Me: Lieutenant, why don't you go fuck yourself. I don't roll out the red carpet for our enemies.
The plan of the GOP and the authors of Project 2025 is to kill any part of the federal government that provides and service directed at the welfare of the citizens. They plan to return us to the gilded age and bring back work farms, debtors prisons, child labor, and indentured servitude.
I've been told that for some reason women adjust to progressives much quicker. It's true for my wife, she never had a problem.
I tried progressive lenses and the first day I took a misstep and fell down a flight of stairs. Luckily no one at work saw it happen. I went back to conventional bifocals the same day.
Well what it really did was provide back doors into systems that have traditionally not been politicized so that data could be mined to strike at people who might resist as well as a rapid erosion of the underpinnings of our government functions. It was never about saving money or rooting out fraud.
Judging by the look of quite a few of them I'm surprised their vests are covered in sponsorship patches from Dunkin Doughnuts, Jimmy Johns, Arby's, etc. like a NASCAR drivers coveralls. All those companies would totally sponsor ICE and should be boycotted along with Baskin Robbins and Sonic.
The governor needs to expand the mission of and increase the size of the California State Guard. The state needs the means to resist the federal government turning our own N. Guard troops against the citizens and residents of California. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Califor...
As a Californian I don't want changes to our congressional map to be tied to the actions of Texas or any other state. I want it to happen ASAP if not sooner. We need to lead the way in the fight to save democracy and the DNC needs to realize that there's nothing the GOP won't do to win.
Humans are without a doubt the absolute worst mammals on the planet. I believe in all of history that the only truly good thing we have done is to facilitate the evolution of the domestic dog, a creature so good that we don't deserve its friendship.
Guess what. The GOP, MAGA, and the think tank that came up with Project 2025 not only don't care about veterans but they hate us and think that we are just leeches sucking away money that would be better used to line their pockets.
If I said what I thought about these nazi ICE agents my account would probably be locked down again. www.tiktok.com/@l.a.taco/vi...
No argument from me on that. Drunkypants Hegseth and the Project 2025 evil masterminds have gotten rid of the leaders that were like Miley and Mattis that would actively resist the fascism.
The commanders should not be political and they should realize that their actions today may be viewed differently if the political tide turns. I'm just glad that during my time in the military there wasn't stuff like this going on.
Never forget, To Serve and Protect is not the mission statement of any police department, it is an advertising slogan. Police are in the business of oppression and suppression. If they really wanted to do good for their communities they would have become firefighters.
I can answer that. Because it is a complete violation of the Posse Comitatus Act. You're welcome. P.S. The troops and commanders following these unlawful orders aren't insulated from future prosecution.
He probably will unless they keep him segregated from general population.
Is anyone really expecting any politician or person politically appointed to a position to follow any of the rules, expectations, or morals we've operated under in the past. These guys actions make Nixon and Agnew look like chumps.
I got the email on Tuesday night and no they didn't say what rule or tell me what post they deleted.
Well that was weird. I was informed in an email that I had violated a Bluesky rule and my account was suspended for 24 hours and the offending post had been removed. I have no idea which post or reply and this happened without warning. Oh well, I guess I'll probably never know.
Really looking forward to this, Mosley has been one of my favorite authors ever since I picked up a copy of Devil in a Blue Dress.
