Maybe if you’re really lucky, one day you can get a “Yes, but… also no.”

…to shreds it is, then.

I’m so over this two party circle jerk.

Yeah… I’m that old man on the porch yelling about how you kids read about that shit, but I lived through it. Of course there wasn’t a meme of it in 1992 because 56 kbps was considered blazing fast internet. You could literally watch an image being drawn line by line in your web browser. Our main form of social media back then was a fucking mixtape.

Pay a settlement of $10 million to each and every federal employee fired by DOGE. Then we can start to talk about your well-being, Elon.

Ugh… does this mean I have to go all the way down to post office to get my package again?

“All your base are belong to us” is from the like '92

Laugh tracks always make me feel like I’m being programmed.

Ma’am, you don’t seem have proof of citizenship on your person…

In a court of law, yes, presumed innocence is the neutral state. In the court of public opinion, though, presuming innocence flips an “out-group = enemy” switch in their heads. Everything you say from that point is heard through their lizard brain telling them that you are a threat.

We do not have the luxury of holding the people currently in power to the rules. We don’t have the luxury of ignoring the crazy person in the room, either. We have to engage on their terms, else they flip the table and walk away still in power, still on the war path.

They do, however, have the capacity for rational thought. The calmer you can keep them, the sooner their rationality will tell them that human rights apply to everyone or none at all.

These cultists are trying to ride the 80 year old wave created by the atom bomb.

Stop making this about anybody’s character. This is about due process and what passes as evidence.

Republicans control the narrative here and have already painted him as a gang member. No amount of opposition to this point from the Democrats will convince Republicans otherwise.

When Democrats try to counter by pointing to Garcia’s positive character traits, they are preaching to the choir. Whether you believe his a “gang banger” or a “family man” is irrelevant because the Republicans have the stage.

We need to demand evidence of all claims made by those in power… we need to do this relentlessly towards both sides. Do not accept any statement without evidence, and refuse to move on to a different point until the requirement for evidence has been satisfied.

When they say, “Garcia is an MS-13 terrorist,” we need to say, “What do you offer as proof?” and keep asking until they provide said proof, concede defeat, or resort to force towards their questioners. Like it or not, we need to do the same for Democrat’s claims that he is a “family man”. You will not win a propaganda war against the party that controls all branches of government.

Repeat a lie often enough, it becomes the truth. Yes, but ask a question often enough, it becomes unavoidable.

That all of these “possessors of funds” are not the sources of wealth they pretend to be. Rather, they are sinks of such, ever draining, filled only by our fears.

We are the sources of every means of production in existence. Yet we stand on the selling block, buying our way to slavery.

The Republican Party is now just muttering, “Burn them all,” over and over.

He probably pays women to lay there like a Handmaid, but instead of a sterile wife, there’s a Costanza seduction style portrait of himself.

The Mad King was obsessed with it. He loved to watch people burn, the way their skin blackened and blistered and melted off their bones. He burned lords he didn’t like. He burned Hands who disobeyed him. He burned anyone who was against him. Before long, half the country was against him. Aerys saw traitors everywhere. So he had his pyromancer place caches of wildfire all over the city.

I believe it would be darker than mere loopholes. Corporations would probably both protect their own IP and steal each others’ IP through militant means. Like, Cyberpunk 2077 could become reality.

All those times the kids at school called me butt-face… look who’s complimenting me now. Ha, suckers.

Hire an engineer then?
