Songwriter, musician, and Germanophile. Here for that plus Twin Peaks, books, films, Sox/Celts/Patriots/Blazers, politics, and an escape from that other place.

I REFUSE to get my hopes up.

MOREšMISSPELLINGSšPLEASEš
I hate memes. But not this one.
ManchVegas is a pit.
I agree, but the fact that we have to be in any way concerned about a President occupying an American city with National Guard troops or obeying legitimate court rulings in doing so shows we have entered a very different and dangerous stage of our history.
I have to sayā¦at this point āforcing them to complyā could be a problem.
Switzerland is paradise. There will only ever be one.
On the way the Right has responded to the shooting in Minnesota (and all of them really)
What will happen when they donāt? Because they wonāt.
There are purges going on throughout ALL of the federal government. When the purges of the government are complete, the purging of the population will begin.
Europeans should carefully discuss direct military involvement with boots on the ground.
Congratulations to the GOP for a creating a world that people down want to reproduce in!
What WILL the fascist do next???
The entire federal government is lead by an insurrectionist.
Ashli Babbitt is the Horst Wessel of MAGA.
This describes the entirety of the federal government. Weāre in very serious trouble.
What?!?! NO WAY?!?!
Trump knows itās the lunatic fringe that make up his base and will keep feeding them in exchange for their loyalty. He doesnāt care one iota about any of this.
Safe is what the crackpots say it is.
Thank god his āattentionā is directed towards such vital, important work!
RFK, Jr. in the CDC bathroom right now.
Lol....no. Why would they relent on their war against America when they're winning?
It's not a "threat" anymore
True of all that is happening right now.
You seem to be getting back what youāre putting in. Weird!
That. Lot more of that. For all of them. Never a momentās rest from here on.
Heās a total piece of shit and deserves no better description.
But Biden was senile and unfitā¦.
I meanā¦even a protracted and awful civil war followed 1917. Chaos. It took some time for Stalinism to establish itself and find its groove. Weimar to NSDAP was fairly abrupt and definitive in comparison.
I sincerely hope I live to see him have a Nuremberg moment. And not the rallies.
Was not
Fuck this motherfucker.
Another astounding thing (though maybe it shouldn't be) is the applause these comments receive from GOP congressman and those "we the people" people.
Just don't call it fascism...
Honest question-what is the point of a meeting? Is it just for Putin to acknowledge Zelenskyās legitimacy? Other than that, what is there to discuss right now?
Has he taken the same stance on Barry Bonds? Sammy Sosa?
Likeā¦nationalist socialism?
Itās not great, but if the militarization of American cities is the response weāve got MUCH bigger problems.
The explosion at the end is amazing
I think itās fairly clear that this wonāt be happening. Good to say it though. I guess.
Itās equally deluded to think that Trump cares about the truth and could be swayed by evidence on that ground that contradicts his demagoguery.
Whenever Iām downā¦having a bad dayā¦I will watch this and laugh. Thank you.
Ford Raptor Vs. Tesla Cybertruck šš¤£š¤£š
This is a Gulf of Mexico thing for me. I will never acknowledge these affronts as legitimate.
Welpā¦you can thank tens of millions of your fellow citizens for it.
Has Trump pardoned Bryan Kohberger yet?
I doubt a single person would notice
Attention spans have probably never been lower. They probably do that to try and keep people engaged. Or awake.
Hold a mirror up to them. Let MAGA get vomitted all over for a change.
Does he puke at the end?
He wonāt do any of that, of course.
Dems/Libs/Progressives have a tendency to fixate on the barely relevant while ignoring the falling sky. Stop talking about "distractions" unless you want to concede he plays 3D chess. He has control over nearly everything now, and has zero need to distract you. He's actually stepping on your face.
As is everyone who cast a vote for Trump
Jesus. Paul is left handed. AI already well on the way to filling the world with limitless garbage.
One knock on effect is that all the most cynical voices in the culture are being empowered because political reality is actually bending in their direction.
Iām a fan of yours but this is one of the most patently bonkers things Iāve read in some time.
Yes. Itās gun vs. knife. Again and again.
Weird thing for people to want at this point.
Give Newsome the Nobel Peace Prize. Fuck it.
Are we still matching towards despotism or are we there yet?
Thereās a āmovementā element as well that can be summed up as āMAGA despises libs and Liberal Democracyā as well.
MAGA knows Trump and Epstein were buds, and they know Trump probably slept with underage girls. Thing isā¦they donāt care. At all.
Can you āmarch towardsā the place you already occupy? What will it take for you to just acknowledge that we are already in an authoritarian despotism?
Distracted? If all anyone ever thought or talked about was Trumpās relationship to the Epstein files it wouldnāt move the needle one inch because MAGA NEVER REALLY CARED ABOUT SEX TRAFFICKING THEY JUST HATE LIBERALS. Hope this helps clear things up.
The States have every right to follow the (TRIUMPH OF THE) will of our Dear Leader.
FUCK CANCER (research)!!!!!
It will never not be weird that people put up with the President talking like this....pure bullshit, every day.
All power to God-King Trump!!!- Texas MAGA
I wish every day offered such a direct opportunity to thwart MAGA. Canāt wait to vote for it.
Stop with this āattemptā shit. Itās a fait dāaccompli.
Dirty, yes.
Is the argument that the GOP can redistrict at will, where and when it benefits themā¦but their political opponents cannot? Thereās no clear example of how dire the situation is than this.
Whatever diminishes MAGA in any way is glorious. Hanging them with their own rope is delicious. These psychos are destroying the global rules based order because theyāre small and resentfulā¦throw all the poop at them. Smother them with it.
Someday he should stand before every American so that we can spit in his vile face.
Democrats have mostly failed to meet the moment, yes, but letās not forget that the party you made it your lifeās work to grow and empower is the very one currently tearing this country to shreds.
Very stable genius
You donāt sayā¦
Itās satisfying, no doubt. But itās also a freely produced propaganda video for the GOP. Heads I win, tails you loseā¦
There is no longer any high road to take. Perhaps theyāre asleep and on the road of dreams.
Consider. Then reject, if necessary. They still have the Europeans. That's not nothing.
Thatās fine. But the Europeans best be thinking about it. If they wait too long theyāll be fighting Ukranians too.
The irony of Trump investigating someoneās financesā¦..
Itās because we now live in a reality dominated by Instagram and Tik-Tok.
I meanā¦OF COURSE heās not going to leave voluntarily. Anyone who thinks that has spent the last decade sound asleep and should not be listened to.
@johnvaillant.bsky.social was psyched to see you on here. The Tiger was one of the most interesting books Iāve read. Iāve recommended it countless times.
Almost perfect. Needs some misspellings though.
The knock on effects of studying the humanities are many. Itās the marrow of the thing.
NUKE IT-MAGA
Neither Ukraine nor Europe will accept Russian āguarantees.ā They understand the stakes.
The whole ātheyāre weirdā thing showed how vulnerable they are to plane old mockery.
At some point Europe will have to put boots on the ground against Russia.
Doocy is a fucking disgrace.
The distraction talk is almost always incoherent nonsense. The same people who ridicule the idea of Trump playing 3D chess are constantly themselves claiming he is doing that very thing.
Fuck. No.
WW1, WW2, American Revolution, The Opium Warsā¦.just to name a few.
Bout fucking time
President Macron: We are talking about an imperialist and revisionist power that is today's Russia, which since 2008 has constantly sought to conquer new territories, has constantly revised international borders, and has never kept its promises of peace and non-aggression.
Any electoral victory MUST include a reckoning with MAGA or itās just another loss delayed.
