I used to be a red state Dem, back when I lived in TN. That was when I was on tour a lot, so I met Dems in all sorts of red states, Alabama, Mississippi, Georgia, you name it. Red state Dems are some of the toughest out there, because of what they face.
is “spending the day at the golf course” sort of like “at a farm upstate,” or,
Nadler ‘said that under the leadership of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel was committing mass murder and war crimes in Gaza “without question.”’
And that's a real ally.
Would YOU want to clean those shit and piss stained sheets AGAIN?
Oh man!! He was awesome!
I mean, it’s pretty well known he shits himself. So even if it’s NOT death sharts, maybe someone got sick of cleaning up Trump’s fecal filth and threw it out the window. If, of course, that’s what happened—which many people seem to be saying.
Could be. Could be.
Trump looks old AF. His skin has that weird papery look old people get when they’re dying.
On a completely unrelated note, what was going on in that video what was circulating earlier, someone throwing a bag or maybe sheets out a WH window? Did America’s Favorite President piss or shit his bed? It’s going around, so clearly SOMEONE is asking about Trump soiling his bed.
The man wanks so hard and so persistently, you wonder if the man holds stock in various personal lubricant companies.
My drummer used to play with Chubby!
You guys see where this is going? Right?
Mr. Manchester played sax in local bands, I learned later, and was also a stoner.
Sometime between 2013-2015, at the late great Rodeo Bar in NYC, on tour with Woody Pines. I can probably still pull this off. The trick, BTW, is to wear slacks or dress pants. Jeans won’t cut it, balls need room.
“This is a kind of music called ‘punk.’ Notice the fast drumbeat, the inappropriate language, the angry singer.” Totally took the wind out of my sails, but I had a LOT of respect for that guy afterward. Brilliant pivot to a teaching moment.
I owned this album when I was in 8th grade (83 or 84). Our music teacher wanted to know what songs we like, and encouraged us to bring in albums/tapes. I managed to sneak this in (clumsily blacked out “to fuck” with a magic marker). Mr. Manchester handled it w/remarkable aplomb. Didn’t bat an eye
I know he’s (probably) not dead, but these memes are great.
Have a nice weekend!
Also, they wouldn’t be so lonely if they A) figured out how to appeal to women, or B) just come out of the closet already.
BTW, that would be amazing if a photo of Trump unable to walk anymore surfaced.
Just Google “is trump dead,” it’s all over the place.
These screenshots are funny on SO many levels.
Oh cool, we’re all gonna die.
i don’t like the idea of the president missing. he could be anywhere. i am suddenly aware how little i appreciated opening my shower curtain knowing the president would not be standing there
i don’t think he’s actually dead, but it will be one of those moments we had in bidens administrstion where he vanished for like 5 days and came back a clone of the original version and looked entirely different
I’m not surprised there’s a rumor that Trump is dead. Look at the man—he’s decline and decrepitude personified! I can TOTALLY imagine “Death of Stalin” situation going on. Can’t you?
This is an important thread.
What can I say, it’s cute.
JD’s pretensions to the presidency are hilarious. I don’t think even most of MAGA would vote for him. The dude has less charisma than the couches he fucks. To paraphrase Cartman, no one would respect his authoriteh!
With me it’s usually Slayer or Mexican Ape-Lord or Judas Priest.
The new ICE song by Jesse Welles nails it. ICE isn’t recruiting heroes, it’s recruiting the bitter, the rejected, the ones desperate for a badge to cover their failures. Losers with power become the most dangerous kind. (c/o Caroline Codsi)
"Ashli Babbitt was a grown ass adult who made a series of conscious, ill-advised decisions to engage in treasonous behavior, and she got exactly what she deserved. She was a traitor. She was a threat to national security. There is no nuance needed here."
And yes, I realize the topic is “packages,” but food is affected as well..
I’m stocking up on olive oil, cheap coffee, canned tomatoes, and tahini tomorrow.
Yes, it should. However, that would require an effective mainstream media in America — which we don’t currently have.
I haven’t read the whole thread, but in my experience, Trump voters are highly versed in personal invective, act abusively to others, and engage in shitty interpersonal behavior. Perhaps it’s not the political views as the acting out that seeks to go along with it?
EXACTLY.
This is a worthwhile thread, IMHO.
The past several months have made me deeply, deeply cynical and sometimes it comes out.
If we’re gonna take Mayor Muriel Bowser’s claim that crime is down due to our federal occupation at face value, let’s also calculate all the illegal arrests, detentions, and disappearances. Cause we know those are crimes too.
How do I know my money isn’t going to a bunch of consultants at Mothership?
Monarez is playing her weak hand perfectly, and should be a model for institutional resistance for the next four years: 1. Make them fire you 2. Don’t go along to get along 3. Don’t apologize, have confidence in your own integrity and the importance of your role 4. Always escalate the conflict
The National Guard is humiliated. I keep reading that they’re being dicks to the residents. Is that true?
lol imagine being so incompetent you get caught spying on freaking denmark
Why are you putting a traumatized child WHOSE FRIEND DIED SAVING HIM through MORE TRAUMA? My god, you are fucking GHOULS.
It’s utterly useless. I don’t know how it survives.
PA Republicans are garbage who want their own state to fail: delcoforward.substack.com/p/septa-on-t...
17 democratic senators voted to confirm this woman as labor secretary
This is shameful on so many levels.
This is insane. I don’t want these psychos anywhere near Philly.
For all the dog lovers. This is a classic. Worth seeing again.
Same guy who produced porn videos, right? That guy?
Oh, does that Trumpy motherfucker hate gay people now?
The PA State Republican Party is a bunch of fucking crybabies. They defunded @septaofficial.bsky.social , and now they’re CRYING bc people are criticizing them. Like, literally whining at me to stop being mean over the phone. What a bunch of pussies—they like to dish it out but they can’t take it
They’re all Glurons.
It’s just so fucking sad to see. There’s no coming back from something like this. They will be irrelevant in another few months. Like USA Today, but without the substance.
Reposting for the good folks who follow @repshusterman.bsky.social, @repmaryisaacson.com & @rephohenstein.com Pittman is ruining our whole economic region over some weirdo grudge he has against… Ed Rendell? Is this man stable?
Joe Pittman is a rotten human being who wants children, old people and the disabled because of something Ed Rendell did a million years ago.
PA Republicans to Philly: “You always want a handout. Get a job, losers!” Also PA Republicans: “We made it so you can’t get to work!”
Joe Pittman, PA GOP Senate Leader, has an irrational hatred for Southeastern PA and Philly in particular, which is why he refuses to fund SEPTA. Blame the state GOP for this mess. @septaofficial.bsky.social @booman23.bsky.social @ryanroat.bsky.social youtu.be/m2o7_e9dR1k?...
holy shit
We have federal troops occupying the capital of our country, a mostly black city led by black people. It’s not a distraction @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social it’s actually happening.
I don’t care for Hakeem Jeffries’ “leadership,” but I will be goddamned if I’m gonna be cool with some rando dropping racist remarks about him in MY posts. Shit in your own house, asshole. #blocked
You don’t come on MY account, drop your racist shit, and then object when I call you out. Go shit in your own house, not here.
Try fucking yourself, how about that?
The right wing is always projecting, aren’t they. They assumed that because THEY have gladly covered up for a pedophile, that WE would gladly do the same. We are not the same. Bill Clinton—and any other abusers known or yet unknown on our side—can fuck right off.
They expect a bailout like last time, and the freeloaders are probably right to expect it. Heartland? More like lazy-old-fartland.
I don’t like that kind of language. I don’t think HJ is good at his job, but there’s no need for racial language. Please delete or rewrite your comment. Thanks.
@septaphilly.bsky.social @septa-social.bsky.social @septaofficial.bsky.social @rephohenstein.com @repshusterman.bsky.social @governor.pa.gov This is a 1946 PTC map framed on my wall. It was a glorious system. What remains has been adequate. What the PA GOP is doing is shameful. #fundsepta
Having Hakeem Jeffries in a position of leadership in a moment like this is like intentionally hiring Arnold Stang as a linebacker for the Super Bowl. The man is about as good at his job as Charles Schumer is at his.
#fafo!
Angry Samoans - live early 80s
I have had the same thought. Just checked Wikipedia—they let ol’ Ariel lie in a coma for EIGHT FRIKKIN’ YEARS! Yeah, I can get behind that.
People shrink, period, as they age. My dad—83 and still spry—has been shorter than me for at least 15-20 years. My grandma, by the time she left this world at 97, had shrunk to about the size of Yoda.
You need to remember, Shady Shadi is not doing anything accidentally. He is a right winger, and his job is basically to mainstream right wing propaganda. He’s a piece of shit.
Also, the city probably smells like Trump’a shit-filled diapers. No one wants to go near that rancid canned ham of a human.
Also, the whole city smells like Trump’s filthy diapers.
If a president wanted to become effectively a dictator, he’d likely: 1. Purge govt of non loyalists 2. Weaponize law against opponents 3. Use military to police opposition strongholds 4. Threaten media, schools, businesses w penalties to get them to heel 5. Change election rules in his favor.

To my progressive friends in California. We stood for Sanders in 2016 & 2020. Today, let us support @gavinnewsom.bsky.social California's redistricting. They are eliminating Black seats in the South. They are gutting voting rights. We must not reverse the clock to pre 1965.
Team TACO stonewalling on the Epstein files? I’m shocked. Shocked, I say.🤨
"Twenty-three Democratic attorneys general now gather on near-daily Zoom calls at 8 AM Pacific, which means the East Coast officials are already on their third coffee. They divide responsibilities and share templates for lawsuits they’ve been drafting since last spring."

@repshusterman.bsky.social I support you 100% in your fight to get our money back.
My old band opened for them back in the early 2000s.
There are interviews w/ AC/DC in which they talk about using disco beats. You can hear the Stayin Alive beat in a bunch of their songs.
Thread…
@repshusterman.bsky.social— Why should SEPA contribute to the rural counties’ roads (which we don’t use) if they won’t help fund our transit? Why should Dems cover PENN-DOT’s $9 billion road maintenance deficit (way more than what SEPTA needs), which mainly affects rural counties? I say NO.
@repshusterman.bsky.social would index counties economically—who pays how much. Instead of a general fund, each region would be allocated what it pays in taxes to fund its services, pay cops, maintain roads and bridges. 3/
They think they’re screwing Philly—but it’s Delco, Bucks, Chester, & Montco too. The 5 county region generates a lot more revenue than the rural areas, and our taxes support a lot of what makes their lives nice. And they don’t seem to get that WE pay for THEM. Now they bite the hand that feeds. 2/
Fuck the PA GOP forever for screwing over the entire southeastern region of the state by defunding @septaofficial.bsky.social . WE PROVIDE THE REVENUE FOR YOUR SERVICES, ASSHOLES. I support @repshusterman.bsky.social’s plan to KEEP OUR $$ and let the rural counties pay their own way. #SEPA 1/several
I do have to say I agree with launching billionaires into space—as long as it’s a one way trip, no re-entry.
🔥 STEWART: “This is the lie they tell you — that all this money flowing towards corporate interests is actually for YOUR benefit…. That government intervention for corporations is our ‘FREE MARKET’, but government intervention for workers is ‘SOCIALISM’.
It’s almost as if the Dems in DC are already on strike—they’re certainly not doing much of anything.
