"Ok. Back to the business at hand. I believe we were deep in the middle of a cover-up for (checks notes) the 34-Count Felon and Pedophile Curious Adjudicated Rapist... who also happens to be the president. All agreed? Let's get started." -Mike Johnson

Great news about my fuckin' city. Let's just make sure that the CPD crystal-clear about the fact that if you show up in Chicago, attempting to enforce some sort of bullshit law and you're wearing a mask... your ass is going to jail.

The time for these maggots will soon end. Trump is already wasting away, he looks like death incarnate. I pray that it's slow and painful. As for the rest, Karma is whimsical. She may not come when you call her, but she's always right on time. And it will be glorious.

I've gotta give it to the GOP... their programming is nearly perfect. He's actually standing there, a living breathing "Bot," reading through his talking points as though there aren't people with voices in the room. Impressive.

Why the hell would he need to be on the ground in Minnesota? Do you understand anything I wrote? You seem to have a wildly sophomoric grasp of governance... particularly legislation and the politics of change. Be well, Dominique. Enjoy the rest of your day. I'm done here.
Preston Thomas (@preston.camera) reply parent
What's he supposed to do? Seriously? Is NY in outer space? Jeffries is the Minority Speaker of the House. A party leader, you do understand that, right? His job is to craft messaging/strategies, and work to control the narrative. A call to action that inspires voters. Not thoughts & prayers.
Preston Thomas (@preston.camera) reply parent
Praying for them?! What a useless, tone-deaf twat. These children were literally inside of a CHURCH sitting in the PEWS, PRAYING when they were shot. What are your prayers supposed to accomplish, Hakeem? I cannot wait until the nothingness of your political tenure is at an end.

The NRA is a marketing firm working on behalf of gun manufacturers and retailers. That "good guy with a gun" shit is just another slogan. They don't give a damn. So basically: Good guy, bad guy, mentally disabled guy... Just buy the fucking thing and be done with it. And thanks for all the cash.

Cool, cool. Check in with your boy Jesus, and let me know if he had a "34-Count Felon and Pedophile Curious Adjudicated Rapist" on his bingo card for president of the United States. That would be great.

I dunno, man... I guess we're supposed to be impressed because it's on your appropriately boring Democratic Leader letterhead, or whatever that is. The message, as usual, is benign. You are unusually adept at compiling sentences that mean nothing. It is something of an art, albeit an annoying one.

Thanx, JB. Cowardice has no place here. Chicago hits different. So if that moronic, 34-Count Felon, Pedophile Curious Adjudicated Rapist president wants to "f*ck around..." there'll be plenty of Chicagoans to help him "find out."
Preston Thomas (@preston.camera) reply parent
Hakeem Jeffries is terrible. Chuck Schumer is terrible. Ebony & Ivory... they're both terrible. (in all fairness, Jeffries is not quite Ebony, more like Maple) Either way, they are both feckless party leaders. Dragging race into it is a simple-minded attempt to distract. Not gonna happen.

Yes. It's the Democrat's fault. In the same way that it would be the fault of Republicans or Independents if they were losing voters. Also... I love your use of those cute little emojis and exclamation points. Without them, I might think you had no idea what you were talking about.

And we got a stove with 3 dependable burners. The 4th one works, but only has two settings: Off / Dragon Fire. And you gotta eat everything, because we got 15 Tupperware bowls, and none of the tops fit. White onion? Sure, in the plastic bag. What? Oh. It's just a balled-up bag? I could've sworn...

Considering the fact that "we" elected an imbecilic, 34-Count Felon and Nazi Curious Adjudicated Rapist to the office of the president... it's apparent that many of them do. Voters often become beggars to their own demise. It is the job of political leadership to try and mitigate that.
Preston Thomas (@preston.camera) reply parent
Yeah... There's a light year of distance between effective leadership and "angry negro." Jeffries on camera appearances and bsky feed are predominated with statements of the obvious and platitudes. He and Chuck Schumer are peas in a pod. They inspire no one. And the party is bleeding voters.

Reality? Ok. Democratic leadership might want to address their litany of unforced errors. Jeffries' cowardice & allegiance to AIPAC is preventing him from supporting a wildly popular mayoral candidate in his own district. His bsky account posts nothing but rhetorical bullsh*t. It inspires no one.

The Supreme Court is where he belonged. Obama knew that. You're conveniently ignoring the fact that it didn't happen. I wonder why? I'll give you time to scrape up some half-assed reason why you believe that Biden's poor decisions as president, are Barack Obama's responsibility. Ridiculous.
Preston Thomas (@preston.camera) reply parent
Chicago is different... and they gon' find that out with a quickness. Ultimately the Military will have to make a choice: They're sworn to protect against enemies, both foreign and domestic, but what if the domestic enemy is the Commander-in-Chief? "The call is coming from inside the house."

This is all performative. As long as she's alive, she's a problem. They need her to not exist. They'll find a reason to pardon her, no more prison or government protection. The culprit will be a so-called "unhinged vigilante." And that will be the end of Maxwell. My 2¢.

I dunno. "Thor - Ragnarok" is practically a comedy. From the opening scene with Thor chained up and spinning around while Surtur is trying to talk to him, to Hela's indignation "whoever I am... did you listen to a word I said?!" Or Goldblum as Grand Master "Why are you giving me the melt stick?"
