Never briefed; always diapered

I'm old enough to remember when republicans wanted to string up Hillary for BENGHAZI BENGHAZI BENGHAZI, which was NOT her personal fault. Isn't it interesting how quiet they are when it comes to trump's obvious callousness regarding four missing, possibly dead, members of our military? 🦗

Who needs wikileaks when you can have whiskeyleaks from trump's dui hire?

 

Ginger Billy must have had a crystal ball three years ago when he made this hilarious video...! If you like Red Green, you'll love this little giggle.

I dunno about you, but I've received security training, and what they instruct us every year is that some fuck ups are bad enough not only to get you fired but to fine you and land you in prison. pete hegseth, tulsi gabbard's, and the rest of em's fuck up sure sounds like the fire-fine-imprison kind. We all know that the entire trump administration is ally, agent, or useful idiot to putin, but this kind of crap goes beyond the pale. Our allies already lost faith and trust in us in the last trump administration; now we've proven beyond the shadow of a doubt that their secrets will go to their and our enemies. This puts American lives in danger. But, hey, this is exactly what maga voted for and the entire republican party supports whole-heartedly: a far weaker military and a government that only--and deliberately--harms its own citizens.

Let's take out the trash--let's get rid of trump. This little ditty is chock full of happy thoughts to start your day.

 

Oh, look--they painted a portrait of musk on a nazimobile...

 

Duuuuuuuude...I'm sooooooooo drunk, I texted Top Secret war plans to a random journalist

...but her e-mails. 

Measles is NO JOKE

Measles is also HIGHLY PREVENTABLE. GET VACCINATED, people!

Easy everyday anti-fascist activism--LET'S GO!

Listen to Jessica, everyone:

- Use 5calls.org to call your reps and primal scream whatever's keeping you awake at night at least once a week.

- Support local non-maga small businesses and use goodsuniteus.com to purchase from non-fascist-supporting businesses.

- Join a "tesla takedown" protest. These are energizing for all of us anti-fascists, and they are helping hit leona dork vader musk in her pocketbook. She has no business in our government --she's not qualified, and she's actively wielding her power to commit corruption and to stop investigations into her myriad criminal wrongdoings.

This is easy pro-democracy activism we can all do. As Jessica says, for the time being, we do still live in a democracy, so let's all act like it!

Poverty kills--i.e., FASCISM KILLS

Billionaires are NOT "just like us." They get where they are by being parasites on society. They don't care about you. Even when their greed kills you or your loved ones, they don't care...unless they actively enjoy the suffering they cause.

 

Who needs a Department of Education when you can have a Department of Stupidity?

 

Come on, Liberals--let's boycott books. It's the only way to get maga to read!

 

republican entitlement: republicans think they're entitled to what YOU earned, even though they never earned it and do not need it.

Dear pick-me's

Dear pick-me's:

You know who you are.

You're the misogynistic woman.

You're the POC-hating POC.

You're the LGBTQ+ phobic LGBTQ+ person.

You're the non-rich person who feels unworthy of being rich.

You're the one betraying other people who look like you, live like you, love like you for the sake of serving the republican patriarchy of rich, white, cis-het, Christian men.

You do this not only because you hate yourself and those who look like, live like, and love like you but because you're willing to stand on their necks in the merest hopes that you'll get special treatment...like avoiding becoming the target of all the horrible things you want done to people just like you. Heck, maybe the overlords you slavishly worship will not only not punish you for existing, but maybe they'll actually reward you for serving their interests over your own.

I hate to tell you, sweetie, but it doesn't work that way.

The only people that the republican patriarchy of rich, white, cis-het, Christian men despise more than women, POC, LGBTQ+, and non-rich people are pick-me's.

The people you worship the most despise you the most.

If you're not loyal to people who are just like you, they know you'll never be loyal to them.

So they'll never trust you.

And since you're already in one or more of the populations they already hate, they'll never, ever love you.

They'll never, ever accept you.

You'll never, ever be "one of them."

They will always scorn you, laugh at you, and deride you as a "useful idiot" behind your back.

If only you could hear what they say about you when your back is turned.

I assure you, it isn't pretty.

So congratulations on making yourself a person without a community and a traitor in your own land. 

Congratulations on becoming someone with no true friends--only transaction partners. 

Congratulations on making yourself universally scorned and despised. 

You could have worked for the betterment of marginalized populations like your own.

You could have worked for a more just, egalitarian society instead of deliberately, willfully, and callously harming innocent others to promote your own petty self interests.

Is it really worth it?

Do you truly enjoy harming innocent others for no good cause?

Does it really fulfill your life's purpose to be a mere tool?

Are you truly happy living in a community, nation, and world consisting of exactly and only yourself?

Consider joining society to serve the greater good while there's still time.

It's the only way to earn the love, respect, and connection all humans crave.

Think about it. 

 

WIRED: History Professor addresses questions regarding dictators

EVERY American needs to watch, understand, and take onboard what Dr. Ben-Ghiat is saying about dictators. 

TL;DR: dictators are NOT our friends! For the people in the back: DICTATORS ARE NOT OUR FRIENDS!

 

 

 

America has more than enough wealth to provide a comfortable quality of life for every American

Listen to Angela. Listen to Bernie, AOC, and Crockett. They get it.

Ok, so this is more charitable than what they're actually doing...

Non-compliance WORKS! tesla protests WORK! BOYCOTT F-ELON!

 

🤣

 

Happy St. Patrick's Day!

May we all have enough Irish luck to survive and thrive the ugly regime of musktrumputin! May the oligarchs all discover and get hooked on magic shrooms, THC, and whatever else it takes to put them on a happy one-way trip to Mars, where they can all live blissed out of their minds and leave the rest of us tf alone to live in peace and prosperity! 

republicans aren't transphobes--they're transgender!

Gender-affirming hair surgery augmented with fake hair...hair dye...daily cans of hairspray...fake teeth...kitten heels...tinted foundation...a waist-slimming girdle...

It all makes sense! 

The transphobe in the Oval Office is really transgender! 

donaldina jessica trump always wanted to be a woman, so she put out the executive order declaring all americans "female" so she could come out and live her authentic life! 

her consort leona musk is also a fan of gender-affirming surgery and make-up, as is vice-vice president* jessica donaldina vance...as are the rest of the ostensibly-transphobe-but-actually-transgender republican party. 

SNL, PLEASE get Melissa McCarthy to play musk. donaldina would absolutely love it!

republicans have wanted to gut Social Security for decades

Let's be real: republicans aren't upset because musktrumputin wants to cut Social Security and the other programs we all pay into our whole lives--they're just upset because the word got out!

Even republicans know that gutting the programs we pay into to keep ourselves alive is "unpopular."

I'm old enough to remember when w waved his hand and claimed that there was "nothing in Social Security but IOU's." This generation of republicans is calling Social Security a Ponzi scheme. 

All of them are wrong. 

We all pay in to Social Security our whole working lives. If republicans are so gosh-darned concerned about there being enough in there, then let them TAX THE RICH. 

Did you know that, if you make above $176,100.00 per year, the money you make beyond that is NOT taxed for Social Security? Why is that? If you make that much, you should be living comfortably enough to be able to afford having Social Security tax taken out for your full salary. And we all know that non-wage earnings are not taxed for Social Security. 

If we were really interested in an equitable society, we'd tax every penny of income for Social Security--wages, investments, all of it. We could probably apply a lower percentage tax, and we'd all be helping each other that way.

  

 

 

 

I hear that teslas are exploding in the White House market....

 

In republican newspeak, "a dozen" has always meant "9"

 

 

Get in, loser--we're gonna go crash the economy!

 

Apparently, the Onion no longer publishes satire

The Onion is and has always been a more serious, trustworthy news source than fox propaganda.  

 

Two psychopaths for the price of one

George Conway's remark inspired Bruce "Mangy Fetlocks" Nelson to create yet another delightful daily ditty for his musktrumputin song list. Bruce truly follows in the tradition of Woody Guthrie, Pete Seeger, Tom Lehrer, and other brilliant truth-tellers...or should I say truth-singer/songwriters. With YouTube increasingly replacing twitter and TikTok as an online community of choice where like minds can connect, I highly recommend you watch and subscribe to Bruce's channel.

When republicans win, we lose.

maga--i.e., the republicans--presented Congress with what for them was a win-win scenario: either pass this gawd-awful continuing resolution that gives musktrumputin w-a-a-a-a-ay too much power but keeps the government open-ish, or blame Democrats for shutting the government down.

It's like having to decide between sawing the baby in half to give one half each to the two women claiming it as theirs or keeping it alive by turning it over to the woman whose only intention is to torture, torment, and abuse it for as long as she inhumanly can. 

Crockett and Bernie had the long view in mind: shut down the government to stop the musktrumputin power-grab. 

This is a worthy goal, and I was hoping that Democrats as a whole would adopt it...until I started thinking about the impact of the kind of government shutdown that republicans had in mind.

Schumer held his nose and supported the continuing resolution because he knows that real Americans--innocent people whom republicans see only as pawns and grist for their mill--would suffer real consequences from a shut-down.

republicans fully intended on shutting the government down for over a month to circumvent hiring-firing rules in civil service. They planned to leave the government shut down for so long that they could swoop in and fire thousands upon thousands of devoted, hard-working career civil servants without cause and without recourse.

On top of that, shutting the government down stops government contracts, leading to mass lay-offs in the commercial sector that engineers and builds the solutions we rely on every day (Internet, anyone? GPS, anyone?).

The brain drain, which would have impaired our ability to keep pace with the rest of the world technologically, would have been immense and likely permanent: many of those affected would simply refuse to return to such an unstable business area, and many would join the record numbers of Americans emigrating and expatriating. 

The silver lining, if you could call it that, would be the number of maga rank and file harmed by the shutdown, and that j-u-u-u-u-ust might have helped educate them regarding what the government is actually supposed to do and how the government is actually supposed to function. (The government is supposed to serve the American people, not "hurt the right people," not "make a profit.") Oh sure, as Crockett says, they'd have blamed Democrats for it --but, as she rightly says, they blame Democrats anyway, even-and-especially whenever their own guy does something horrible. 

By not shutting the government down, there's a very real chance that Chuck Schumer saved my transgender friend's 43-year pension--you know, the pension she earned because she worked long hours for low pay to serve the public good...the pension she earned in lieu of Social Security.

My friend turned in her retirement paperwork about a week ago, but the timing of the shutdown would very likely have given republican transphobes just enough runway to fire my friend before her retirement kicked in and she could receive her pension.

They'd have literally robbed her of her life savings so they could give it to people like musk who never earned it and who do not need it.

And then there's Medicare, Medicaid, Social Security, the Veterans' Administration, and every other agency and service that keeps Americans alive and well every day.

A government shutdown would have decimated the ability of these organizations to serve Americans who depend on them to stay alive.

In other words, by avoiding shutting down the government, Chuck Schumer and others who voted like him literally voted to save countless lives of America's most vulnerable.

So while I agree with and admire Crockett and Bernie's realism and strength in the face of musktrumputin's growing fascism, I can't disagree with Schumer's approach, either. Either way, innocent Americans would suffer. Either way, innocent Americans would die. Either way, there are nasty short-term consequences. Either way, there are nasty long-term consequences.

So, yeah, again, republicans won, and again, Americans lost.

I've been wearing a white rose since the 2016 election. This young hero gave her life to resist fascism; so did her brother. So did every American soldier who died in WWII.

 

Happy Pi Day!

republicans lack critical thinking skills

republicans swear that LBGTQ+ literature turns straight people LGBTQ+. 

If that were true, then millennia of straight literature would have turned millions of LGBTQ+ people straight.

Hence my assertion: republicans lack critical thinking skills.

Further, methinks they doth protest too much...

I bet they're all closeted LGBTQ+, and LGBTQ+ literature arouses them more than they care to admit.

republicans control ALL 3 branches of government, but they want you to think that DEMOCRATS are shutting the government down

 

 

republicans hated President Obama not only because he was half-Black and they're racist but also because he was brilliant and strong--unlike them

 

Palate cleanser... :)

 

republicans HATE veterans!

 

EAT THE RICH--BEFORE THEY FINISH EATING US!!!!!

 

 

This is just the beginning!

 

With republicans, EVERY accusation is a confession

Dallas mega-church pastor and trump spiritual advisor robert morris is going to prison for DECADES of sexually assaulting/raping children. How much ya wanna bet that morris and trump met at epstein island? 

"Only the best people"

...if by "best," you mean "WORST." 

Birds of a feather flock together in the grand old pedophile party.

You know the anti-LGBTQ+ ones are hiding something. They're all closeted gay, bi, or trans to a man (including their pick-me wimmin folks). 

I NEVER want to hear another republican say that republicans support our military & our veterans

republicans HATE our military and our veterans--except as props for photo ops.
