Yeah, unfortunately, I can't see any of this moving the needle. Trump creates his own reality and his followers go along with it. That man has already been convicted of rape and has multiple accusers as well and they don't care. They either deny reality or move the goalposts. They're very sick people.

At the end of the day, I just filter it all on that side as "Am I still getting mine?"

And we see everything eroding and bending them over, but in their world (and this includes being dumb and gullible), they are still getting Theirs. Only when Theirs is threatened will they possibly take offense. Otherwise, like Michael Jordan said, "F them kids."

Until they become conscious they will never rebel, until they rebel they will never become conscious, etc.

I guess we can all stop pretending that the United States Constitution is in effect.

In a word, yep.

I would like to secede please.

I would like to secede please.

I think we are going to get our wish.

Newsom escalates clash with Trump in State of the State, declares California under siege

Gov. Gavin Newsom's written State of the State address Tuesday painted a portrait of a state under siege by the federal government even as it grapples with the devastating L.A. County fires and spiraling housing costs.

If Orange Julius's toadies in Congress try and delay the midterm elections, all bets are off.

Heh, I like how one of the detractors is a Republican from Klantee. I'll be anxious to listen to that guy's opinion when it's cold in hell.

So my day started with finding out ICE parked outside City Hall in the municipality I do work for to throw up hand signs and take selfies in front of our human rights signage, and then I get home and see that we're on the precipice of WWIII. My first thought was: we have the worst person in charge if WWIII breaks out, and my second thought was: he'll side with the BAD GUYS in WWIII unless he's removed from office.

I like how Israel has now bombed three sovereign nations and we're acting like it's not that big a deal because 'we knew they were going to do it' (we totally didn't).

The news doesn't have to be terrible. It can be terrible and funny.

I swear I saw a video of Bibi saying the Nazis didn't intentionally do a genocide today, but with all the other horribleness I lost the clip.

'Authoritarian country attacks Poland' sounds vaguely familiar for some reason I can't quite put my finger on.

Leader of the Jewish Ethno-State sweeping for Hitler sounds about right for 2025.

Honestly surprised most of these people know how to find a library.

Was going to say that old guy should've printed his manifesto at Kinkos, but after looking it up, Kinkos was bought by FedEx and had their name changed in 2008.
