People, we need to fight back! Who would you prefer as your fellow citizens, the people being herded into concentration camps or the people willing to be masked Gestapo&arrest innocents? The wrong people are going to jail. White people, we need to use our goddamn privilege for something! Attack!
I'm inhaling
Much love and respect for your husband. I hope you both are well. I know it's been a long, hard slog.
It took decades for the government to recognize dioxin poisoning caused by Agent Orange. The effects of that on a person are horrible. The government, all of it from what I can see, has worked long&hard to screw over Viet-vets. A lot of people got fucked by that war. And it's still happening
A billionaire doesn't have shit...oh wait,let me rephrase that. A billionaire will have lots of shit without a good janitor.

Thank you soooo much Hart!! And THANK YOU CANADA!! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Old age or lead poisoning, either way, is fine with me.
The thing that got deleted was a photo of all the sunflowers in my backyard. I don't get it.
Sounds like another republican lawyer/congress person getting ready to practice medicine. I'm a licensed engineer, but just for the hell of it, I'm going to start practicing law. I mean, how hard can it be? I suppose they become legislators because they're not even competent attorneys.
Any church that chooses to endorse a political candidate ceases to be a religious organization and should be taxed accordingly.
Oh, no. They listened and heard, and when no one was watching, wrote "pornhub.com" in the margin of their hymnal. Then, while he sits in the grocery parking lot waiting for "the wife," he navigates the net to watch all those "abominable" people until he is quite sweaty.
Congratulations! Not having done either, in my ignorance, I imagine it must be something like giving birth. Good job!

but I guess in another, I'm not surprised. Ok, Grandpa has had his rant. I'll sit down. Now, it's your turn. Have fun, and don't forget to duck. They shoot real bullets.
a time for Sunshine Patriots. It's raining hard. It's time for us to gather our umbrellas, like the folks in Hong Kong, and attack. Neither my ancestor, Josiah Bartlett, my brother, Rusty, nor I put our lives on the line lightly. In a way, I can't believe I'm the one who has to say this
ending the war and stopping the forcible imposition of military service. The people who were my most ardent supporters were Viet-vets, for whom I have a massive amount of respect. We all went through some bad shit and I don't think that any of us will accept the situation we're in today. This is not

Sorry. I don't have time for casual patriotism. I was a resister during Vietnam. I had to spend 2yrs living underground because of it. My brother, who just took his life spend 13yrs underground for burning down the CIA backed Bank of America, (look it up under the CIA's involvement with the Heroine
Fatality.
a dollar from my wallet&stuffed it into the damp shirt pocket of the oddly familiar homeless man nervously trying to look inconspicuous at the bottom of the ramp. I startled him and he jumped away from me. I just winked and said, "Keep 'em flying." It's was strange. The experience has stayed with me
I've also driven my,used,but serviceable,TSX into that parking garage. The wipers squeaked and bounced across the suddenly dry glass as I pulled into a spot fortuitously close to the entrance. I ran a small electrical engineering firm. Trying to guard my drawings and files from the rain, I fumbled
I, one who hates cities, would be proud to hang this in my lvng rm. I've walked that street, ill clothed and cold. I've huddled inside that parking garage, trying to look like I'm waiting for a ride,fooling no one but myself. Needing help but unable, in fact, unwilling to ask. My mantra:Go to Hell!
Not to worry. It was not a crime of passion. It was a ritual execution.
Yeah, I know what to do.It took someone pointing out to me I had a number of suspicious followers before I noticed and started blocking. It's no big deal, just one of life consistent irritations. In fact, I'd say that sums up all of (anti)social media. But this comes from a guy who shot his last TV
I read one the other day that really hit home:"It was a lot more fun to be in my 20's in the 70's, then to be in my 70's in the 20's." And don't let anyone kid you. We had a hell of a lot of fun. In fact, we may have exceeded the funness quota for our generation. That might be why things suck now.
Shit! I got another one while writing this post. This one from a, God save us, Christian.
It's tiresome and stupid.
I'm a 72 year old man.I get "come ons" from (ostensibly) "Asian women." I mean, I was born at night but not last night. I also get a lot of "follows" from people who,although it appears they've only been on the site for a few days,have 10.5k followers&20.8k follows,posted twice&reposted 17times
It was a unique experience.
Rusty was a carpenter for a guy who adopted a bobcat from Disney. BC had the run of the house&liked to play. Said it was disconcerting when BC would jump on the work bench&cuddle. BC'd grab him bythe head(no front claws)&rub his head against his neck&purr.Once he leapt up&perched on my shoulders.
I'm floored.
I'm 72. I've seen some shit. I've participated in some shit. In some cases,I've instigated some shit. But I've never seen nor in my wildest fever dreams ever expected to see a former Pres and former Att. Gen of the United States plead w their fellow citizens to rise up &save democracy in America.
Many people saying he's dead, perhaps the most dead anyone has ever been, the doctors say they've never seen anything like it.
😎😎😎😎🤣🤣🤣🤣
What's interesting is that the magats were also aware of this town hall but none of them showed up to back their guy.They must realize that their actions are deeply unpopular.Where are the crowds of supporters that came out before the election?They can't stand up to questions.They have no answers
There's a much longer description in the alt text section.
I've been saying for months this is all about the destruction of the United States of America. Nothing less.
We are definitely in mortal danger. The problem is that you can't go up directly against such overwhelming military force. Go around the side where they're not paying attention&attack from the rear. We need tactics and planning. Psyops are crucial to turning the tide. Hard to do¬ get busted now.
Back in my youth, the instruments of authority, NG, cops, were much more cemented in their thought. The clowns in charge now aren't competent enough to pull off a total change of government in 12 months. You even have police departments declaring they won't cooperate w the feds. Leverage that.
No. I was involved with things 55 years ago. Things are different now. The NG are just folks like you. I'll bet a lot don't want to be there. We need to undermine their potential orders. If you're following them talking to them and not yelling, they will be less inclined to shoot you.
I sympathize with your position. Sometimes, I struggle to stay positive, but this is not just my idea. I was reading about a study (can't remember specifics) that showed that during disasters, people tended to help each other. One-on-one, I think we're good. However, I keep my shotgun oiled&loaded.
We shouldn't make other Americans our enemies. We need everyone. The oligarchs need to keep us at each other's throats. Talking won't convince anyone, but food will convince the hungry of the righteousness of your cause. Actions speak, words mutter.
I would say that if we want to get more folks on our side, we should organize a group to show up with food at the next hurricane or flood. If you're feeding people,you'll make a better impression and gain more converts than screaming at them and telling them they're stupid for voting the asshole in.
No. I don't think you're right. During disasters, there are some looters, but notice how people, for example, spontaneously formed the Cajun Navy. Rednecks with boats went around rescuing people. I think people are inclined to help their neighbors, but maybe not your neighbors. Grow this kindness.
Good idea.
It does seem like there was more to do then. Lots of live bands and dances on the weekends. I wound up meeting other, different people by hanging around with the distinctly wrong crowd in the inner-city of Albany, NY. It was an education, to say the least.
Maybe we take a page from the magat's playbook & stage a full-on assault &conquest of the Democratic Party. I think we should have a political party of our own. Any scoundrel who's ever voted with the Orange Sphincter gets the boot! Anyone over 75needs to retire. No more death in office from old age
The fact that they're probably doing the best they can is the scary part.
In 1970 in Isla Vista, Ca. The Panthers took over the computer building to give black students access. When cops were called, white students surrounded the building to protect their brothers & sisters inside. After they ran off the cops, the Guard was called. Weeks of cat&mouse back&forth ensued.
This is what needs to happen! We all need to stand together! Listen to what these people are doing. White folks and black folks should be walking together. I want see White people hectoring these assholes, too. We've got the fucking privilege to really lay into them. Let's do it!
What you're saying is all true. Personally, I believe that TV was largely responsible for the "anesthesiasion" of the population. I stopped watching around 1969 & have watched myself become more & more socially divergent. My kids were only allowed 2hrs/dy & no sound during commercials. It worked.
I was a draft resistor living underground in those years. I understand what you mean by lack of passion for change these days.
Did anyone else read the Time interview earlier this year with the Orange Sphincter about his 1st 100 days? It was totally unintelligible. I tried asking this question on reddit, and it kept getting booted off as inappropriate for every sub I tried. Of course, maybe no one is interested.
Constituent: You talked about abuses in the medicare and medicaid system and I found interesting that the president pardoned someone that defrauded the medicaid system for $1.3 billion
And the genocidal Knesset out of Jerusalem and marched to the ICC for Netanyahu and his accomplices to face new Nuremberg Trials. The noose awaits.
Let us now bow our heads and pray from a humble heart to a gracious God for better marksmanship.
Yes, we sure do want a dictator...for target practice.
The dog's reaction to this gentleman tells me all I need to know about his character.
It's not often that a short video like this can pull a tear from these old eyes. This is beautiful.
I have difficulty recognizing faces, so I gave a chuckle and kept scrolling. Something made me mentally go, "hum...was that picture of...?" I scrolled back and blew my tea across the room. I was laughing too hard to say anything. I just handed my phone to my wife. This is superlative. Thanks
Sorry. That's not the way the game works.
This type of thinking is naive and dangerous. If you want to appeal to the 99.6% of the population you will need to get elected, you need to put your emphasis elsewhere. You can negotiate with one man, but not at all with the other. That's your choice. Nothing else is available. Take it or leave it
And so the purity tests start. Which of the two is likely to make any accommodation at all for trans people, Newsom or Trump?The 0.6% of the population who are trans should push for most electable person who doesn't want them dead. At any rate, we can either be righteous or we can win elections.
You can't negotiate with people who would really like to lynch you. "Regular order" is dead. Democrats should be so angry that every 3rd word of any statement would be bleeped. And every Democratic politician should be in front of every mic they can grab every day.
Schiff and every other apologist for "regular order" have to go. We will never get our democracy back with these clowns in power. You can't negotiate with the other side when what the other side wants to do is lynch you. They have no interest in sharing power with the Democrats. The gloves are off.
Hamas, the IDF, the entire Israeli government, and especially Netanyahu, who doesn't eat pork because he's Jewish. He just doesn't want to be accused of cannibalism.
There's much less noise on the streets than there was 55 years ago. Resistors, walk along with the Guard & talk don't yell & scream. Explain your position & let them know of their obligation to disobey unlawful orders and what those orders might look like. Sow dissension in the ranks.
The gut only produces one thing, and it should be flushed down the toilet.
They need it to start raining rocks.
RIGHT ON! That's the way to fight back against these assholes! DON'T GIVE IN!
I started skateboarding, or as it was sometimes called, sidewalk surfing, in 1964. I took one of my mom's old roller skates apart and nailed the toe to one end of an old board and the heal to the other end w/1-1/2" roofing barbs. How I managed to live long enough to see 1965 is a total mystery.
It's only fair if we win.
Yes, we are. And a lot of us strongly support the 2nd amendment.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
These pigs have their own exit off I-25 just north of Colorado Springs. Good riddance to trash.
This is an excellent idea. I found that all the W coast states send more to the feds than they get. If they were to join with CO, and other W states, we could strangle the government. We could make common cause with like minded E coast states. We must do everything we can to stop fascism.
GOOD vs EVIL (It's not complicated)
I know things are dire — but you are not alone. Here are five steps we can all take to resist Trump's fascism. youtu.be/8W-lVRQQGtI?...
I can't stop laughing. I don't know how you kids spell it, but if he was "trawling" he'd be catching whales.
Pizza Hut's problem is that they make shitty pizzas.
He is the only National Guard soldier who is brave enough to stand up and protect the constitution he swore to defend. Don't like my statement? Prove me wrong!
Don't make the National Guard our enemy. They're just vets trying to make a little extra cash on the weekend. They don't like things any more than anyone else. When you see them patrolling, walk along with them, and talk, don't yell or scream. Explain your position. It's different than 50 yrs ago.
Right on, brother!
Yes! A hoagie of resistance!
Over the weekend, the “sandwich thrower” posters went up all over DC. Instant icon of resistance. A remix of Banksy’s mural: not a Molotov, not a rock, but something just as disruptive, a hoagie hurled with defiance.
What's cool is that his attention never wavered from his girlfriend even when the mountain behind him blew up. Tu es muy macho. (Please excuse my pathetically remembered high school Spanish). You da man, bro. Terrific performance.
Ok, but what am I going to do with all these sandwiches? John Schwarz
Newsom releases new ad 🔥
This would explain a lot.
Life long liar.
