It doesn't matter if Mitch McConnell is dead or not. Even if he is alive, he's 84 god damn years old. And he's frozen TWICE in front of cameras. The fact that these motherfuckers can literally hang onto office for 40-some years until they fucking DIE is a disgrace that we ABSOLUTELY MUST change.

What did Donald Trump mean when he was talking about "deals" at the NATO summit and he said, and I quote, "That's how I became president"...? 2 minute and 8 second mark www.youtube.com/watch?v=vdPa...

Holmes fought Moriarty Batman fought the Joker Superman fought Lex Luthor Luke fought Vader But our lives are proof that it does not take great skill or intelligence to be an arch-villain. In fact, our lives are testament that inept, backward, dumbfucks are often the worst evil doers there are.

You cant have capitalism without eventually having fascism. You cant run a system rooted on perpetual maximized exploitation without that system eventually turning to slavery as its ultimate expression. Capitalism self-cannibalizes. Always. In all ways. Until it drowns itself in state power.

I am thinking of an SNL skit where a clerk of the Senate goes "HOW DO YOU VOTE SENATOR?" and the corpse of Mitch McConnell is strapped to a desk with a ouija board in front of him and a few billionaires are gathered round touching the moving indicator going "I'm not moving it!" as it drifts to NO.

I posted this 2 days before news broke that McConnell is "brain dead". Am I good at predicting? Sort of. Sure, I know more than the average bear about politics. I'm just willing to state the truth.

It is a point-blank indictment of the US system of governance that we have geriatric power holders literally dying in office before they will relinquish power, and that even a person in a vegetative brain dead state can keep occupying their office without any effective public recourse to stop them.

This hits close to home. I formerly worked in International Relations, and in fact, I co-authored my Masters thesis with an Afghan national who had helped the US. He moved to Canada during Trump 1.0 He now works as a professor there. Living well. The US is fucked.

I try to let others enjoy what they will without shitting on their happiness, but its time I said what needs to be said: FIFA sucks. Its bad. It is a corrupt organization that bends the knee to dictators and tyrants. For fucks sake people, they gave Trump a god damn "peace prize".

The new July 4 will be Donald Trump's eventual death date. It will be a defacto national holiday celebrated for years to come. Maybe forever.

Saying that the official is "doing well and is working with their committees" is exactly the same language used by Dianne Feinstein's team to obfuscate that she was essentislly a vegetable before she died. Exact same shit happening with Mitch McConnell.

It would be a poetic synchronicity if the death of Mitch McConnell was announced on July 4. It might actually give us something to celebrate!

Republicans are the kind of people who would absolutely hide the death of a major Party member for as long as possible if doing so were advantageous to them. They have no ethics. They have no decency. And they are beholden ONLY to power at any cost. Read that again... At ANY cost.

The so-called "rights" afforded to you are subject to removal at any time by a small body of unelected, politically appointed, seated for life, and accountable to no one officials. They are called SCOTUS. And it doesn't make them OK when they occasionally rule in our favor.

FACT The wealth of just one man, Elon Musk, could simultaneously pay for universal healthcare, forgive $5,000 of education loan debt for all student borrowers, and pay for free school lunches for all children nationwide forever.

Does anyone else simply not give a flying fuck what Donald Trump says anymore? I see someone repost one of his big long worthless screeds and I just pass it over. There's absolutely no point in reading those brain-vomits.

The Supreme Court must be overhauled. There is no "expand it". That is merely plastering a temporary cast on a still broken system. It remains a small body of unelected, politically appointed officials, seated for life and accountable to no one.

In a nutshell, Capitalism is the practice of fucking over as many other people as possible, as much as possible, as often as possible. It is a self-cannibalizing system that in all cases inevitably eats itself alive by giving rise to fascism, authoritarianism, and tyranny. It is a failure.

BREAKING NEWS: The Supreme Court remains a small body of unelected, politically appointed, seated-for-life and accountable to no one officials.

More people have been arrested for the deranged president's conspiracy theories around the algae in the reflecting pool than have been put behind bars for the Epstein crimes and the architects of the 2008 Financial Collapse combined.

If this is the best we got, we aint making it folks. Humanity is fucked.

Did the world learn nothing from the COVID pandemic? What happens in one country DOES NOT STAY in that country. Borders are porous, not just to disease. You cannot look at the United States and think that our embarrassing and disgusting problems are ours alone. They are not isolated here.

It is easier to destroy than to build. It is easier to attsck than to defend. It is easier to be stupid than smart. It is easier to give up than to endure. It is easier to post on social media than to protest or revolt. It is easier to look the other way than to confront fascism.

The lack of curiosity from corporate media to seriously deal with Trump’s health as he now exhibits nearly a dozen bizarre visible behaviors and physical phenomena is really something.

I also posted this 4 fucking days ago...

4 days ago I posted this. Not today, when the so-called "peace deal" fell the fuck apart and the Strait was closed again. 4 days ago...

Nothing will ever change until we are equally committed to upholding and defending science as they are fervent about denying and destroying it. Nothing will ever change until we are equally committed to upholding and defending the rule of law as they are to breaking it.

When Donald Trump's 22 necromancers can no longer work their cryptic voodoo to keep his saggy ass going, and he finally kicks the god damn bucket, it will be a day equivalent to the fall of the Berlin Wall, the end of WW2, and other similar historic events. It will be a defacto national holiday.

Look, the Democrat Party has some serious problems, but it is especially irksome to see Democrat campaigns STILL pushing the failed big-tent "it doesnt matter if youre left, right, or center" line. Yes it fucking does matter!!!!!!

Reagan crippled the US with his bullshit Clinton opened the horizons of what corporations could do George W/Cheney passed Citizens United, and effectively killed what WAS the United States Thereafter, we became a criminal conglomerate of ultra-corporations Trump is hollowing out the leftovers

The ultimate aim of oligarchs is to rent your life to you. Private ownership of everything, and subscription plans for all of it -- not just your entertainment or housing (i.e. rent). Subscription plans for your safety, transportation, education, water -- even your rights.

The Art of the Deal is more like The Art of being a malicious dumbfuck nepobaby for 80 god damn years.

Its pretty fucking clear that we all should have universal healthcare. And there is absolutely zero credible argument against it.

There is nothing holding Iran to honor the so-called deal. Ergo... There is no "deal". And the "war" is not "over". You need to understand this.

There is no such thing as "justice" in this country anymore. If there ever was to begin with... There are only classes. The elite - and all the rest of us. There are rules and laws for the latter. Not for the former.

Its weird to me that the Dems didnt do jack shit to hold Trump accountable, beyond ineffectual "hearings" and a couple of 11th hour indictments, but now a bunch of them are being indicted by a clearly corrupt DOJ and they act shocked, as though they expected "norms" alone to hold him at bay.

Long died the hill of light Every promise fell away Tattered flags haunt the night I watched greed seize the day Trust is gone, now out of sight Billionaires took their pay Under ash, no wrong or right Ruin came to stay Nothing is left

Why is everyone talking like this war with Iran is over? It isn't

You need to understand this; There is no "Iran deal" There never will be an "Iran deal" There is no pressure on them to capitulate to any demands Status quo deadlock serves them just fine And they'll keep it deadlocked as long as they want They've got Trump in zugzwang And the US is fucked

I say again; Those who betrayed all of us by enabling Trump and thus enriching themselves should have their names chiseled into a granite wall in a similar fashion to the Vietnam Memorial, there to be publicly displayed for all the rest of history, enshrined in scorn, contempt, and disdain forever.

Plato's cave analogy has a solution: Natural selection. Those who are too fucking stupid to survive typically dont. And we havent yet had enough time or sufficiently catastrophic events between anaolog awareness and tech-assisted hyper-awareness to weed out the dumbfucks among us.

We are all living through a "let them eat cake" moment. Look to history for what comes next.

Expanding the Supreme Court is like plastering a patch on a sinkhole. It is not enough. By itself, that does nothing to address the underlying condition of what that court is: A small body of politically-appointed, unelected, seated-for-life, unaccountable power holders. We must go beyond.

I think one of the antidotes to this national dread is just watching one video after another of friendly and excited Americans welcoming people for the World Cup. There’s not a one of them that isn’t tear-inducing. A good reminder of what this country should and could feel like.

I am cooking Beef Bourguignon. I marinated the beef + veggies in Pinot Noir for 2 days, massaging the beef throughout. I am now slow-simmering everything for 12 hours on extremely low heat. This is an expression of enjoyment and goodness manifested through cooking. It is art through food.

American media is fucking garbage

Is LA poised to join NYC with a Democratic Socialist Mayor? I hope so! THAT is the future of the Democrat Party.

It is seeming pretty clear to me that the Democrat Party is going to focus on rolling back symbols of Trumpism rather than the actual material conditions of working class people. Tearing down his ballroom & arch, removing the gaudy gold from the oval office, revitalizing the Kennedy Center, etc.

There is no President of the United States right now. There is no American government currently. There is ZERO rule of law. We are the only thing holding this place together.

Its very clear that the President doesnt know how quotes work. He apparently thinks theyre used to place emphasis on words. No, that is not a joke.
