no more business as ususal!!
going to rename the DoD the Department of Offence. DOO 💩
it is these kind of things ought to be on the news on repeat. the DOJ has to be exposed FULLY for the marginally contempt-worth games they are playing with the lives of other people and in this case, innocent at-risk children!
wow. difference between replies to this post over here vs replies to same post over in the bad place tell it all = funny people able to live closer to dumpster fires and remain unscathed than less funny people can. interesting evolutionary adaptation 🤔
release the PB&J !!! THROW THE SANDWICHES !!!!
what happend to the spirit of public protest? Have times changed so much that every cohort of young(er) people just isn't willing to put up a fight? Where's the well-planned theatrics? the non-v demonstrations? The sandwich throwing??! Where is the spirit of protest in America??! just asking.
YES! this is the face of the New Resistance!!
PSA: DON'T risk a felony assault charge by throwing anything firmer or more threatening than PB&J on white. PB&J: the choice of smart protesters everywhere!
the Resistance sandwich of choice is: 1)Jif 2) Welch's grape 3) wonderbread (or equivalent)
these folks have no shame. that's how they got this way.
Heston tried to warn you all!
obviously you've never been a disciple in a cult before. it'd be instructive if nothing else...
100%. Bolton is just a trial run using a person lacking many supporters. That'll change if this episode works out for Trmp.
why is Stephen Miller walking with his hand in his pocket?
oh god. the Hobbit movies are AWFUL! it's a book to be read aloud to a child! not the violent warfare epic Jackson turned it into for the big screen. That said, maybe just watch the first hour, or up until they depart Bagend. til that point the movie is quite brilliant. after that, enjoy the book.
read the books! 🤨
maybe all the people who think they need to take Ivermectin... all have intestinal parasites??
Sharing is Caring!!
REMEMBER KIDS: always bring plenty of PB&J (preferably JIF + Welch's grape) on wonderbread (or your choice of very soft very bad white bread) to your protest of choice. you never know when a Natl guard or ICE, etc. might get hungry and need a snack!
NYTimes lost me when they failed to rank Haagen-Dazs Vanilla Bean vanilla ice cream as OBVIOUSLY the best store bought vanilla ice cream available today. I actually tried the other brands they listed and they were 😝 compared to the HD. Now they are dead to me.
you shoulda been out there throwing PJ&J on white bread at them.
THROW ALL THE SANDWICHES !!!!
THROW THE SANDWICHES !!!!
i hope someone tells him that just because everyone hates you doesn't mean you're right. It just means you're that easy to hate.
this incident suggests that Subway might expect to be doing a whole lot more business in the coming days/weeks/months than they expected. RELEASE THE SANDWICHES!! THROW THE SUBS!!!
also he has a face like a catchers mitt.
same as what he looks for in boyfriends to be sure.
i don't know, is they?
Question: if (big if) Trump actually HAS a redline in terms of his exercise of power, where do you think that might be?
@dieworkwear.bsky.social is like those fish that can thrive in the boiling temperatures of undersea geothermal vents.
at the risk of understating the actual severity of the situation, America is having a rather nasty adolescence. hardly old enough to be end-stage anything, imo.
it seems to be a lot like when your kids become rebellious teenagers/young adults and reject any inherited wisdom in favor of FAFO. A natural stage of growing up sure. but for an entire huge powerful country? disaster waits in the wings...
sorry but "Orbanism" is just not an effective adjective. PLEASE find more effective adjectives to state your case!!
"Orbanism". right. because that's really going to stick in people's heads; because Americans really understand or care about what happens in western Europe, let alone eastern Europe. And people wonder why the Dems get so little traction. 😩
journalism, much like medical care (among other things), when operating within an essentially capitalistic framework, has no moral balance & no need for one. a sad fact in this here American life.
Derek Guy
dude read the books in the wrong order and then thinks his opinion has solid basis? no way.
huh.
@amybrown.xyz 👀
i call it the Lt. Maramow effect.
Trump's whole big idea is to hire a whole network of proverbial Lt. Marimows to crush into oblivion the department(s) they're meant to be managing.
b/c it's TRIBAL RULES. And in tribal rules YOUR LEADER IS NEVER WRONG. Dems & Reps NOT playing by the same rules!This is why head-to-head competition between parties is futile at this juncture. Also: why aren't sociologists/social psychologists/anthropologists more involved in US public discourse??
remember yes, but ALSO never forget the thing he is perhaps most adept at is milking the press for coverage. at that he is the master and as usual it's very hard to parse what of it is substantial and what is just a tease to keep his name ringing out.
he has too small a chin to be that angry
the crucial missing part is a sense of CIVIC DUTY. without that people see govt as just a thing to be managed and then, naturally, managed like a business by people who know how to do that. But where is the sense of THE CITIZENRY in all that? Answer: nowhere. and that's where we're at. nowhere.
that's pretty much what the words "T'ai Chi" mean isn't it?
hope some clever screenwriters are working on the present-day sequel to The West Wing; working title: The Worst of Us.
when we update the US Constitution things like this will weigh heavily in the additions & revisions....
he needs to lose some weight. and no, i don't mean gravitas, of which he has none anyway.
this spring i planted a whole horde of various beans and none came up! replanted and still... nothing! 😢 growing veges at altitude (i'm in La Plata County...) is damn hard! p.s. my carrots seem to be germinating tho... but slooooowly slowy slowy....
but pretty sure the expressions on those models is something I have never seen out on a trail someplace...
identity politics is 100% agnostic. people make the mistake of thinking that SOMEHOW only *those* identities deemed worthy of progressive support are actual 'identities' (even if true!) and fail to see how this creates disparity elsewhere in the population. the result of this is Trumpism today.
more than that: if Dems ever are in control of the govt again, will they DRAW THE LINE WITH REPUBLICAN INTRANSIGENCE AND HYPOCRISY, call it out, make it clear and not give an inch no matter what? THAT's what i'm talkin about.
i mix 1/2 flavored-sweetened and 1/2 unflavored-unsweetened w/H2O. Brand i like is 'Levels' they sell plain whey protein. also flavored. has ok 'other' ingredients. Pro tip: mix your shake with a couple of BIG dollops of plain Greek yogurt whatever brand you like.
that might also work here in the US if any of our elected legislators were under the age of 87!
1 part Nosferatu, 1 part Peter Lorre, 1 part Roy Cohn. Shake don't stir. Add a twist of your favorite garlic clove or holy water.
sure but that level of public candor is still, you know, kinda refreshing.
Ugh is correct.
unthinkably bizarre but he (amongst many others!) must simply prefer the rights of the leopards and their face-eating habits to the rights of the citizenry to not have their faces eaten. This is our country right now. truly an annus horribilis (x4??)
derek, if i wanted to dress like an ICE agent but buy 100% made in USA what you you suggest? I'm thinking black boots, black cargo pants, white t-shirt, blue windbreaker, option neck-warmer in black, + any interesting accessories to complete the look. your suggestions greatly appreciated! tx
everyone who shows up to phone alerts about ICE agent activity in their town/city should DRESS JUST LIKE THEM. black boots, black cargo pants, white t-shirt, dark-blue windbreaker, dark-blue baseball cap, + harmless accessories of your choice. FLOOD THE ICEZONE!
man that dude feeds of dark energy like a vampire. maybe just throw holy water at him instead shade. he thrives on the shade.
hi derek, say me and some of my friends wanted to go accompany some ICE/Homeland folks as they go about their work on the streets of our fair cities. Can you give us any pointers on how to dress like ICE agents but look good? all 'made in the USA' items a bonus. ty.
folks need to start showing up to ICE agent activity wearing dark ball caps, dark windbreakers, dark jeans and dark sneakers or boots. add to that a neck warmer cum balaclava and any non-weapons related accessories to lend authenticity. just show up like that. FLOOD THE ZONE.
make that look a fashion trend. everyone can dress like that (minus any actual firearms)! and just walk around likely places where ICE agents might lurk. flood the zone!
they needed a convenient location to bury the bodies.
add this to the list (there is a list isn't there??) of things to be written into iron-clad law: "all federal, state/local law enforcement personnel and any supporting personnel must clearly display approved identification at all times"
Al who? why is everyone talking about Al?? what am I missing here?!?!
as it happens, "appearance of mass deportations" is the perfect counterpose to "appearance of mass immigration" (aka "invasion"). it's all just cosplay in the name of governance.
'Trump mobile' sounds a lot like "OJ on the freeway" to me.
so, Tim Waltz is what frightens TACO Donald! good to know.
TACO this, TACO that, TACO the other thing. it's the WTF presidency.
pariah's want a pariah county to live in happily with all their pariah friends.
she thinks she'll become Queen when he's gone.
obvs all protesters should just wear surgical masks. maybe they all felt a cold coming on that day. flood the fascistzone.
cops in the US ought to be required to study those videos from recent protests in N. Ireland. Violent? yes. Dangerous? absolutely. # of Fatatlies? zero.
i'd want to hear him explain why his entire extended family hates him so much and tried so hard to prevent him from being in the position he now holds.
dude looks like a cross between Fredo and Roy Cohn. acts like it also.
if you knew what thoughts were rolling around in there you'd probably be panicking too.
Charlatan Phil please.
anyone have personal experience with kumquat marmalade? asking for a friend...
ALWAYS EAT GOOD BUTTER NO MATTER WHAT!!! (cultured, unsalted - except for baking -- from grass-fed -- preferaby organic -- cows. thank you cows!
oh that is just sooooooo Marxist my gawd
the real question is who is the best musician/singer to put this lyrical gem to music?! suggestion line is open!
yep, if you want to catch fish...
Unavoidable fact is this: if one does not wish to care well for ALL of one's constituents, then one will not be able to care well for any of them. Respect for others = self respect. Caring about everyone requires not abiding by zero-sum, political garbage discourse. That's the revolution.
modern Republican party's legacy is one of cynicism and callousness about their own constituency's heath & wellbeing. Unavoidable fact is this: if one does not wish to care well for ALL of one's constituents, then one will not be able to care well for any of them. Respect for others = self respect.
