She’s utterly wrong about this. It’s a permitted event not a public event. If vendors want to sell their products or services they have to purchase a permit. She isn’t a journalist she’s an “influencer” so she’s doing this to make money. She needs to buy a permit if she wants to perform her schtick
What in the blue hell ? I’m so angry I’m shaking and I’m an old white man. I honestly thought we were a better people than this. I can’t believe I lived my whole life thinking that we were moving past racism bigotry and hatred.
Same. Neither my partner or I will socialize with Trumpers and that includes former friends and family. We’re just over it. We can’t believe they did this to us.
Well … in my defense you did ask …. youtu.be/dQw4w9WgXcQ?...
Love this.
So a federal judge ruled that Trump has broken the law by placing the National Guard in California. Trump’s California AG immediately tweeted that the troops are staying. Is that enough for the NRA to fight against a tyrannical government or are they okay with it since Trump is a Republican ?
Time to get in Good Trouble.
More people arrested yesterday for coloring rainbows on sidewalks with chalk. Meanwhile Ron DeSatan steals 10 million of our tax dollars and wastes 3 billion on his concentration camp. Boycott Florida and do not vacation here. The only thing Republicans care about is money. Deny it to them
Did he have Spotted Dick for dessert ?

Some personal news: My Son is officially canceling his second coming until y’all are actually ready to listen to Him.
Once Trump is out of office I want all of these goddamned nazis prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law.
Jenner is a goddamn embarrassment.
And yet I got a call from the capital police ensuring that I wasn’t a threat to “a member” (of Congress) for leaving a voicemail that if I ever saw them I’d shit in my hand and throw it at them.
Get the hell off of Facebook and Instagram and meta Zuckerberg needs to be destroyed
Rand Paul isn’t a real doctor. He’s a “board certified” optometrist… and the board was him, his wife, and her brother. Total con job.
The better question is what decent person doesn’t ?
I pass one or two daily. I always make sure to reach out the window and give em the one finger salute.
What an adorable little munchkin
I can’t advocate that. But if you’re right I won’t lose sleep over it.
I’ve said it before but it bears repeating. We live in really weird times when I can buy legal weed from a storefront but need the black market to buy vaccines.
Once the Trump era comes to a close I want ALL of these Russian agents held accountable and prosecuted with the full extent of the law.
My eyes are bleeding from trying to make sense of my bookkeeper’s year end reconciliation of my organization’s finances. I swear I’m about to scream EXPLAIN THIS SHIT LIKE I’M FIVE YEARS OLD.
Trump says “Burn a flag and spend a year in prison”. If that’s the case, then how much time should a person serve for sexually assaulting the flag ?
Semper Fi brother. I’m another Leather Neck who’s appalled and disgusted with where our country is headed.
Lincoln was shot in the head. Kennedy was shot in the head. Trump has shit in his head.
That makes it a terroristic organization. “Double tapping” has long been a tactic of terroristic organizations in order to cause more civilian casualties. If Israel is now doing it, they’ve lost all legitimacy. Boycott Sanction Divest

When is everyone going to say that we’ve had enough of cosmetic plastic surgery disasters ?
I just threw up in my mouth
This is fascism.
The great Ice T once said put a black man in a blue uniform and you still get a white cop. Updating this sentiment is put enough money in any person’s bank account and you still wind up with a bigoted republican.
He was an amazing man. He was and still is I suppose one of my role models for how to be a man.
I met Jimmy 30 years ago. I say this with absolutely NO hyperbole. It was like being in the presence of an angel. You could feel the righteousness emanating from him. I’ve never met anyone had such a humanity and concern for others that you could feel surrounding them like an aura. I miss him
Did you see the part of a Trump Putin meeting where Trump went off about how much Israel loved him and Putin responded, maybe they’ll name the country after you ? Putin’s aids started laughing and Trump said, nah that would be too much. Not realizing Putin was mocking him to his face.
Trumps EO regarding flag burning : 1. It’s patently unconstitutional; only Congress can make laws 2. It’s patently unconstitutional; SCOTUS has ruled its protected free speech 3. It’s a blatant distraction from the Epstein files. #ReleasetheEpsteinFiles
I stole your meme. I love this image. ;).
Is this why DOGE has yet to return my FOIA request concerning my personal information ?
I can’t wait until all the incompetent media pundits have to comment about Joe Biden being interviewed about Trump’s passing.
I made the decision NOT to buy anything from Amazon last September. And for the most part I’ve been successful in avoiding giving Bezos any money. But it still annoys me to no end to do a websearch and find that Amazon has the product I want at HALF the price of all other merchants.
He is not up for this moment. We need AOC or Raskin in that role.
I hate how Trump cites Putin as some sort of expert or wise philosopher. If Putin told me the sky was blue I’d look out a window to verify that…. as long as that window was on the ground floor.
Please STOP scrolling and read this !
So what if I burn one of those US flags with Trump on it ?
It’s not my usual ride, the bike in the shed is a 1970 chopper that’s a project bike. But yes it was not damaged. Thank you for asking.
That seems huge. More than simply market factors. That’s a deliberate downsizing of treasury holdings.
Now we know who's in charge of our foreign policy.
I paid probably twice what I should have to fix the roof but it seemed the best way to put money directly into the hands of the people who need it the most now. What will they do next week once this job is over ?
I’m terrified of how these men are going to survive here in Florida with all the ICE crackdowns. I tell them to stay safe and be careful but I’m not sure how many of us old guys are sympathetic to their plight. (2)
I own a decent sized shed where I keep my motorcycle and have a little workshop. A tree branch fell on it and smashed the roof. The fellow I hired to repair it along with his entire crew are Hispanic. The laborers don’t speak much English. (1+)
Mark, this isn’t a serious question. You’re assuming that we hate Trump because all the cool kids do. We don’t. We hate Trump because of his ACTIONS. All it would take for me to compliment Trump is for him to do something genuinely meaningful and helpful for the American people.
I’m afraid that Trump actually took that advice. El Douche is now sending the national guard into 19 states. Trying times we live in.
It’s about time. This should have been tossed out years ago. I volunteer at a local school and they’ve had to purge their library of books about Jackie Robinson. This ban was nothing more than bigoted racist whitewashing on American history.
I’m done with this conversation. You’re not a serious person.
No. Good lord. Of course I don’t think that. But how can we do anything to help the Palestinians with Trump in office ? Our best way is to retake the legislature next year and shut Trump down. I don’t understand the infighting for all of us on the left.
I like that. I’ve never heard that before. Mutual belligerents. I like it.
I don’t believe billionaires should exist. I think that people with that much wealth should be taxed at 90%. But Gov Pritzker is fighting against Trump’s fascism. So I’ll support him in this effort. I don’t understand this circular firing squad that you guys are all engaging in.
I do not understand all the infighting on our side. Trump and the Republicans are moving this country into fascism and we’re attacking people who are fighting that ? I don’t understand that position.
What are you talking about ? The war started by Bush ? I marched against that war. I spoke out against that war. I got a dishonorable discharge for becoming a Conscientious Objector and refusing to fight in that war. What is your point here in condemning Harris ?
Watch it
And that compares to the 1.4 MILLION people who will die this year because Trump illegally cancelled USAID how ? A million and a half people dying each year because USAID is no more because you see no difference between Harris and Trump. You need to reevaluate your position.
I’m ending this conversation with you. Biden DID NOT have troops patrolling the street nor did he build concentration camps. You’re delusional.
I’d rather not have ICE kidnapping people off the street. I’d rather not have concentration camps in the US. I’d rather not have troops patrolling our streets. None of this would have happened under Harris.
I absolutely agree we should cut off funding to Israel. I’ve been advocating BDS for years. Do you think we have a better chance of accomplishing that goal under Trump than we would have under Harris ?
I’m not sure what point you’re trying to make. No one supports genocide. And I don’t think any Democratic politician supports Netanyahu’s war crimes.
We’re going to have to agree to disagree on this one. If you think Harris would have been anywhere near as bad as Trump then I don’t think we have anything to discuss.
We don’t have a parliamentary system. We have a winner take all system. Refusing to support Democrats who are fighting Trump is short sighted. If you didn’t vote for Harris then you are responsible for all the damage Trump is doing.
Yes. Because I voted for Harris. People who refused to vote for her essentially voted for Trump. Are you saying that Trump is better than Harris ? I am honestly shocked at the number of people who will tolerate fascism because Democrats somehow aren’t pure enough.
Let me guess the politicians are all from southern red states with higher crime rates.
And I support those people. But all this purity testing is how we got Trump. I argued with people who refused to vote for Harris because of Gaza. How did that go ? If someone is fighting Trump then I’m okay with that. I think it’s a matter of priorities right now.
Sorry. Then I will be absolutely clear. Would I vote for Newsome for president ? Probably not. He lost me with his embrace of trump bro podcasters and his distancing from Trans rights. But do I support him on fighting against Republican gerrymanders ? Abso fucking lutely. Clear enough for you ?
Who cares about 2028 ? If we don’t save the Republic NOW it won’t matter in three years. Newsome is fighting, he’s an ally and we should support him.
I’ve played this game at comic book conventions for the last 30 years and I never knew this. Absolutely amazing.
As a fellow Orlandian, you and should meet up there at midnight some day next week with buckets of paint and change it back.
Vance has all crotches covered. He’s an asshole with dick moves, and major cunt energy.
Excellent news when in Florida we’re used to getting nothing but bad news.
I love the new Cracker Barrel logo! 🧡 #EpsteinFiles

I wonder how big his golden parachute is ?
#Pinks #ProudBlue Trump cannot win the midterms legally. Here are the three ways he’s planning to rig them: changing electoral maps, demanding a new census, and doing away with mail-in voting. www.msnbc.com/rachel-maddo...
Every single museum in America needs to print out "Actually, slavery WAS that bad" and post it on their front door today.
Back then I was still somewhat cordial to Republicans. I had a Republican friend who was convinced Jade Helm was going to be Obama becoming a dictator. He LEFT HIS WIFE HOME ALONE and went into the woods with a bunch of guns. I loved saying I told you so. And asking why he left his wife behind
Some Texas Democratic women have torn up their permission slips and will now be hosting a “slumber party for Democracy” on the House floor.
I think we have come to the end of any productive conversation. I understand the frustration but the ballot box is how we change this.
I have no comment on this. If you are involved with such groups I’d recommend that you not talk about them. The less the right knows about left wing preparation activities the better.
I’m not sure I understand you. What do you mean ?
That’s your expertise. I’m a social worker. I know how damaging our economic system is to the underserved but I have no experience in organizing unions or the like. What do you think we should be working on ?
Absolutely. I think that’s what Gavin Newsome is attempting to accomplish. I think that’s what Pritzker is doing. My Congressional Representative is one of the Dems who hold town halls in Red districts. He’s trying to convince independents & republican voters that we have a better solution.
And they blocked me. How in the world are we supposed to build a movement and work to oppose Trump when a lot of us just want to rant “Democrats suck” and offer no solutions or ideas. Screaming DO SOMETHING and DEMOCRATS SUCK does no good. Stop cursing the darkness and light a candle.
I’m doing something and I’d like to encourage you to do something as well instead of just complaining. I joined my local Democratic Party and signed up to be a precinct captain. So on weekends we’re knocking on doors and talking to voters. Instead of bitching about the corporatcrats replace them
