Also ties back into my point about Special Operations and pop culture. Chris Kyle and the movie made about him portrayed the line grunts he supported as bumbling under trained morons saved from certain death by the steely eyed warriors of the SEALs.

Anyway it’s super fucking cool we’re gonna get a few more teenage volunteers killed in the coming weeks. Can’t wait to read the book about the Maduro raid. I bet they cast Taylor Kitsch and Chris Pratt in the movie.

They gave out Medals of Honor to Special Operators directly in violation of their own written polices and every line 11B who’s worn a uniform since 2001 has a personal story of a buddy who did at least Bronze Star with V level shit that magically became an ARCOM because PFCs don’t get medals.

I think what most disgusting in this truly horrifying story is knowing that for decades these much vaunted and beloved special operators lived and behaved like princes while the rank and file grunts did good hard work with no recognition.

Weaving through parked cars and driving across a parking lot at an angle is not illegal but it’s dangerous, stupid, impatient and rude so of course it’s a Massachusetts tradition.

Found a senior Bulwark staffer in my mentions and noting against them or the Bulwark but I have a sneaking suspicion I’m gonna have to lock shit down before the end of the day because of breaking containment.

Gaza grifters got me so gun shy I almost blocked a person who reposted something just because I didn’t recognize them and they had a shit ton of flags in their bio.

I’d like to see a very special episode that explains using theory how a multi millionaire streamer who’s never worked a real job is a socialist icon while folks I know who grew up in poverty and busted their ass to build a middle class life are the bourgeoise enemy.

High point of parenting is going to the parent teacher conferences and having all the teachers tell you how great your kid is even despite the things they’ve fucked up this year.

I love Louisiana and hate Massachusetts. But Boston fixed a water main break and reopened the road in four days and LOL New Orleans could fucking NEVER.

It has been a long shitty day but I just got a reply text from my teenaged godchild which is essentially a miracle

Hasan is an antisemite but importantly, he also is an idiot who has nothing to add. You're not even compromising on morals so that you can listen to a math genius or a grandmaster architect or even a star athlete something, he's just some dweeb

For instance smell, shampoo specifically, makes an appearance in this one just as soon as our antagonist (?) enters the scene. in-the-pines.ghost.io/the-devil-an...

I think I could do a straight up romance, lord knows I’ve got the perfect tropes with cowboys and soldiers. Just gotta learn how to write a happy ending.

Having accidentally written a sorta romance I sometimes lurk in threads about the genre. And today I discovered ladies like smell? Like describing smell is a big deal? Which initially struck me as weird. Except I did it all the time from the male perspective…

I’m not a prude. Nor am I a religious dude. But man we gotta bring back shame in this country. There has to be a social penalty for being a piece of shit beyond having your reality show canceled.

Ah yes. Wilson Pickett is apparently what will fix me this evening

LOL Boston University Between the Graham Platner endorsement and this…y’all just keep telling me about the progressive utopia that is the Northeast.

The Sunday Hunting ban wasn’t a big deal for me but it really really fucked over working people. The deer season is already insanely short in Massachusetts and then if you wanted to hunt but have a job you got one day a week to hunt. Lifting that on even some land will really help some folks.

Is the… Is the Massachusetts legislature proposing and the governor (who I do not like) supporting something that I’ve been advocating for for decades? Do I get a win today? www.boston25news.com/news/local/m...

At least today I’m teaching my Godchild about The Outlaw Movement in country music so I got to distract myself for an hour with badass country music.

Y’all think there were folks angrily commenting “Well the Nazi stuff doesn’t bother voters in Louisiana so we should defer to them” when David Duke was running? Because that’s a fun one I just stumbled across here on the site for progressives

My favorite uncle when I was a kid had a bass boat and he let me “drive” it sometimes. He turned me on to cool music. Let me have my fist sip of beer. He was firm but never mean. Never laid a hand on us kids even when we burnt out the bilge pump on that bass boat….

Just today progressive political figures endorsed a man who wore a Nazi tattoo and publicly made racist and sexist statements and a talking head made anti-Semitic and Islamophobic remarks and I see no point in progressive politics that can’t fight bigotry.

The way that you get another Fetterman is simply by ignoring everything right in front of your face and once you got him... he's yours once he's in power... he's empowered take seriously the character of your elected leaders

Lot easier for rich white folks in cold climates to teach their kids that racism comes with a southern accent. That way they can call themselves progressive and never have to struggle with Americas original sin.

See the real fun thing about spiraling today is my kid has a half day because Massachusetts public schools do not give a fuuuuuuuuuck about working class folks so in two hours I gotta pretend to be fine until bedtime.

I should be estatic if Graham Platner wins a senate seat based on the endorsement of far left and centrist dem podcasters, Bernie Sanders AND Elizabeth Warren because it proves everything I’ve said about New England true. But see I don’t think Nazi tattoo wearing shit posters should be Senators.

I’ve been off my brain meds too long because man I am spiraling on this New England shit in a way I haven’t in a long time. I’ll try to keep it off the timeline.

If you’re from New England you can wear a fucking Tottenkopf and make racist and sexist Reddit posts and still be “progressive” If you’re from Louisiana you can volunteer in homeless shelters and tithe 10% to Planned Parenthood and still get treated like a racist redneck. That’s the way it is.

If Graham Platner sounded like me he would still be shucking Oysters and not a Senate front runner. Y’all all know it too. If nothing else changed about him except was an Alabama cotton farmer instead of Maine Oysterman y’all would have crucified him last year and that ain’t lost on me.

It doesn’t escape me the number and type of people who are willing to forgive even support Graham Platner but who also publicly proclaim Southerners as uniquely racist and responsible for the rise of fascism. And it chaps my ass.

You know…maybe I need to reconsider my decades of support for Senator Warren. Maybe she’s just another white lady with a million dollar home and a pure bread Golden Retriever from Cambridge

I wish my gym would settle into a consistent routine so I could schedule my workouts when the squat racks are full of old men half repping my warm up weight and CrossFit MILFs hoarding every dumbbell below 10lbs.

Top 40 country radio. Devils gonna play Froggy FM 24/7 when I’m in hell.

I been down on Massachusetts all day so I gotta play nice and keep my mouth shut about the childish disgustingness that is a fluffernutter sandwich.

You know…giant lifted diesel pickup truck with limo tint windows, a back window covered in 1776, Molon Labe, Don’t Tread on Me bullshit flying a full black flag as it drives 25 over the speed limit down my residential Massachusetts street does not make me feel hopeful for our future.

Anyway in my wife’s car for the grocery run, obviously, so I’m listening to Boston NPR and they’re talking about “Taxi Driver” and y’al I’m not sure this is not an elaborate bit to make fun of liberals who listen to Boston NPR “He had a Mohawk but at the end his hair grew back. Was it all a lie?”

Me: “I’m gonna put this unpleasantness behind me and try to look at the good today” Some boomer with an AI avatar I don’t follow and who doesn’t follow me: “You should try to look for the good and learn to appreciate kindness” Thank you for restating my thesis random internet weirdo

Anyway… On to the grocery store.

Fucking quit it man. Just stop.

Ok. Positivity. The angry lady at the VA pharmacy quickly and efficiently fixed my problem angrily. And the most Masshole of old Masshole men helped me jump my truck. And the lady at the dealership got me quickly scheduled for maintenance.

“You know one thing you could do is drive it more” is something that the dealership just told me about this battery issue. And the thing is I used to fucking LOVE driving long distances. But the reason this truck gets driven as little as it does is because driving in Massachusetts fucking sucks.

AND MY MOTHERFUCKING TRUCK BATTERY IS DEAD! How is it dead after driving across town? Fuck if I know! But it is and now I’m stuck in this fucking frozen ass parking lot and my 15 minute errand has become a two hour chore

Says something about the officer corp that generals will sit there in uniform flanking a colonel as she lies to congress about a war that’s killed a bunch of troops already.

Good god the typos today. I’m posting like I’ve had a stroke.

Hahahahahaha! They fucked up my medicine AGAIN and now my quick errand has become a thing.

In my brief drive to the pharmacy I stopped to let a guy back out of his driveway and he not only didn’t give “the wave” but didn’t return mine. Then I slowed to let a Range Roger make a left turn into their driveway only to have them stop HALF IN THE LANE OF TRAVEL so they could check their mail..

They have got to do something about these Gaza grifters on this fucking website because this is the third one today. I got five yesterday.

It is amazing how much of a piece of shit Rand Paul is even when he’s going hard at the another Republican piece of shit. It’s almost admirable. Dude is dedicated to being a giant piece of shit and he will not be swayed from his task.
