Since we can now apparently just name things what we want, I asked the principal at my school if we can name our trash collection area the "TrumpDump". No word yet.
Since Marred a Lardo has 2 acres of beachfront, is expect next he'll want to rename the Atlantic.
Ran across a link to (new to me) Hasan Piker / The Breakdown / The Young Turks and this comment actually made me LOL. He reposted a post of K Kardashian, then wrote: this is the state of the world we live in now, where Kim f-ing Kardashian makes more GD sense that the orange asshat that we elected president...
These assholes are going to get us into a World War, arent they? America has been spoiled. No war or destruction or blood shed on our soil since... since we invaded America and took it from Indians? EDITING THIS TO remember the Civil War-how did I not mention THAT? Thanks T L.
CHRIST...we are not a good country right now. We're dumb AF.
We are not a good country right now. Scary, but we most likely never were. All this hate was under the surface just itching to get out! Trump and cult have allowed, encourage even, the worst of us to feel vindicated in their hate. This is unacceptable and hopefully there is a way out..but right now, things are not looking so good. 😑
If you are a white heterosexual man in this country you might think it’s been fine. For people of color, women, LGBTQ or anyone that isn’t a white man this has been a hateful country. When the orange felon became president he encouraged every racist and hate filled person to slither out from under their rocks!
I’m an old, white, heterosexual male and this is NOT fine. Don’t put us all in the same camp as these miscreants. I’ve voted Blue my entire life. These assholes are just being mean and cruel to everyone. And for what and who? A 34 time convicted felon, liar and biggest baby in the world. What they’re doing to our government and national security is just shameful and scary. People better wake up before it’s too late. And our Democratic leaders need to hit on the same talking points every day and hammer them home. Republicans do a great job on this. But someone has to step up and lead. Who will that be?
We need better communicators! I’d like to see Pete Buttigieg hired as the face and voice of the Democratic Party. Even conservatives stop and listen to him.
He is! They are formed what’s called a “shadow government”. They, I mean many progressives of Dems and Independents. This was suggested by Professor Timothy Snyder about 2 weeks ago on his Substack page.
I saw Timothy Snyder's suggestion as well. But what's this "shadow government" doing? Looks like nothing so far. They better not sit in meetings for months thinking about what to say. They need to DO THINGS NOW before it's too late. Politicians move slow. If they were in business, they'd be out of business. Work fast. Our country depends on it ! ! !
I am also an old angry white man and it is all because the assholes "like me" that elected him. Know that I didn't and actively worked for the Harris team. Hang in there Fred.
Fred, hi. Glad you are here. Someone else in this community has pointed out, very correctly, that we have LOTS OF GOOD, WHITE MEN, with fact based info and kind hearts here and out there. We need to not paint any one group with the same brush.
A few months ago, I commented to my 81-year-old (good, white) husband, how horrible it must be to be a woman in Afghanistan. He replied, "It's probably pretty bad being a woman anywhere in the world now." I had never thought about that before. But now I've learned that the proposed SAFE act includes verification of identity requirements that will be especially for difficult for many women whose current legal name differs from their birth name. And that's not just to register to vote; apparently the same requirements will apply when changing a registered voter's mailing address. This must be part of what Trump had in mind when he promised to protect women whether we like it or not.... to protect us from having a vote.
So Sally Smith brings her ORIGINAL CERTIFICATE OF BIRTH, driver's license with correct addy & photo to vote. OOPS! She was married since "SAFE ANTI-VOTING LAW" passed. No voting for you Sally. Where's your original Marriage Certificate proving you WERE Sally Smith, but are now Sally Jones? #VoterSuppression
And, in our state (NY) anyway, you have to go in person. No more online or email registering. It is absolute voter suppression. The SAVE act will do nothing good. It's the Stop American Voters' Eligibility act.
Well we can rule out No-Balls Schumer and several other gutless Democrats. AOC or Crockett, Raskin are 3 of the ones who are most outspoken and willing to fight.
He's definitely from the 'old school' when politicians actually tried to work across the aisle and just out-negotiate their opposition. Retirement time.
Seems as though in a zeal to reject paternalism, many have become blind to the racist, sexist aspects of imbuing an entire group (white males) with a negative assumption which they would never think of doing to another (black women for example.) "All ____ are the same." Is an example of hay after the horse is done with it.
I once called out a Substack poster for this same bigotry and the response was, "I don't need you to MANSPLAIN this to me."
Well, apparently she did, because lumping all people of a particular race and sex is bigotry, no matter the race or sex.
I appreciate the tactful way you put it; because my own patience for this kind of prejudice is wearing really thin.
Cathy, some wiser person than me made a similar post months ago re: supporting the kind, smart, white men, young and old, a lot of us here were insulting "in general". TX to the gal who reminded us not to insult our great guys here.
It got better for so many during the 1960’s & 70’s, with women, gay, & POC getting basic rights as humans, but the MAGA underbelly of white heterosexual men started feeling underprivileged & they’ve been working since to roll back those rights
I too am old and angry as well and realized that I felt something was wrong since I was a kid but could never put my finger on it. naming bases and putting up statuary embracing the losers of a major conflict between Americans in a land we stole from the original inhabitants, what kind of sick society does that?
Pendejo and JD have brought hate to the surface and beyond. supporting Nazis what kind of sick fuck does that?
We have presented two very different faces to the world. We as a country have been an incredibly generous country with our wealth. We have also been an incredibly destructive presence too. Over the years though we have become terribly spoiled. We haven’t experienced the immediate horrors of war on our soil since the un-Civil War. We’ve allowed those “others” of us to be impoverished while we have gone on our merry way up whatever ladder we decided to climb in life while living our credit card lives. Those debts will eventually come due folks. They always do.
The expression that the only way out of hell is through it (or something similar) is coming to mind these days. I hope it doesn't apply to current events, but until people suffer the effects directly, they may not wake up.
I'd have more hope if someone had sent the Muskrat packing, charged with treason, the day he stood there and made the Nazi salute. How the hell did he get away with that - even BEFORE he invaded all our government departments? I'm not happy that I can't wake up from this nightmare.
We are not the country we think we are to be sure or we would not be at this junction now. Americans supporting Nazis? My grandparents would be sick 😫.
Um...there was that unpleasant little fracas between the States, back around 1861 to 1865. We weren't invaded by another country but there was a shit ton of blood shed on both sides. And the ill-feeling and denial persists even now.
Marlene, a few years ago, maybe at the KKK rally in Charlottesville, before or after, several Civil War statutes were removed (at least one) in the dead of night. Strong danger level.
Talk to some Black people. We've never been a good country.
Black people have been struggling to better this country for centuries, and with all the setbacks and backlashes, they haven't given up. 92% of Black women voters understood the assignment, and it wasn't just because Kamala is Black. A majority of white people failed. Again.
But now, all of us are going to pay the wages of white supremacy. Black people will pay the most, because they always do when things go bad, but the rest of us are going to pay now as well. White people hurting white people is here, just as we have mistreated others for our entire history. This is the result.
White people have to talk to other white people about racism. We created the problem, Black people can't solve it for us, so it's up to us.
Yeah, well Black people have heard enough from white people, don’t ya’ think? Our race is embarrASSing and hateful. I am not including the majority of us on this page, but I was born and raised in the Deep South of NC and I know of what I say. Being a daughter of Holocaust victims in a Southern Baptist town, where there was a church on every damn corner, exposed me to a lot of prejudices. We need to STFU and lock arms with the people we have done the most harm to.
Yes, Black people have heard enough from white people. Where did I say otherwise? I said that white people need to talk to other white people, and I am white. THAT is the actual work of "locking arms with" Black people. They can't convince white people to look at it. We have to. And yes, it's really hard.
Well, there was lots of blood and destruction on 9/11. Pearl Harbor. The Revolution. But as a Native American, I can say, yes, loads of slaughtering once we were "discovered".
American and European landowners overthrew the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1893. Hawaii was an occupied territory. So, the US was attacked there while we were an occupation army.
Mindy, we are not a good people. We ravished Indian nations. We robbed Africa of its people so that they would become servants and concubines of the white man and woman. We’ve killed needlessly and for what? So that the white man can continue to pillage and rob us again and again until we are stripped naked?
Okay, I gave you a hint, which you refused to take. So here it is, as fucking honestly as I can put it:
I'M NOT AN INDIAN, MARLENE! INDIANS ARE FROM INDIA! IT'S A DEEP AFFRONT TO US WHEN PEOPLE DON'T FUCKING CARE ENOUGH TO KNOW THE GODDAMN DIFFERENCE!
No, Marlene, you're not a good person, but not because you're white. You're not a good person because you play the sorry white shithead, expecting accolades for your newly-acquired "realization" while still with your head up your ass.
Half are at least. Maybe that’s the half that should go to war. Help clean out the cesspool of a gene pool. I really try no to hate people because I believe it comes back to bite you but I’m getting to the point to where it would be worth it because I am beginning to viscerally hate every last one of these mutherfuckers.
I think it's entirely possible, but I hope not, because the evangelical zealots running things would jizz themselves at the chance to launch nukes. Their entire shtick is trying to kick off their pet apocalypse, and now they have access to the nuclear codes again.
Thanks! I've been reporting "missing place" but couldn't quite figure out how to do this! And must say, Gulf of Capitulating Billionaires" really rolls off the tonque nicely.
I feel the same way Ellen, are there any altruistic billionaires to support? Stupid question, but using Safari for a google map search, search yields a satisfactory result!!
I just did this BUT you don't get the option to leave feedback (by clicking those three dots) on Chrome using Norton. Don't know which entity is the hang up but as soon as I switched to Safari, it was there.
I reported an issue with Apple Maps, where they list both names. Then I reported a second issue, as they're clearly showing a imbalance by posting Persian Gulf instead of Persian Gulf (Arabian Gulf). I guess they're selective about which dictators they bow down to?
Maybe it's a "Chrome" thing but I got no 'dots'. But there's a box to the right that says "About" and lower right corner is "feedback" where you can tell them to grow a freaking spine and Just Say No.
One of my kids was in preschool during the first Gulf War (daddy Bush’s) and one of his friends lived close to a golf course. So one day when I was driving him home, he told my son the Golf War was only 9 miles from his house. It was adorable coming from a 4 year old, and your comment reminded me of what was so much sweeter than the putrid nazi in chief.
Is it not the intention of the MAGATS and Nazi’s among us to alienate the United States from the rest of the world? This is the very definition of “Nationalism.” All part of President Elmo’s plan.
If only we could defeat them by ridiculing them. I never thought that Rubio was especially bright, but I had hoped that he might value sanity over obedience. I should have remembered that obedience is the hallmark of all good nazis.
Thank you for that info. I was on survivor benefits from age 60 until this past October when I turned mine on at 70. It's a big jump in your monthly income waiting until 70. As a widow I depend on getting that check direct deposited every month. Fuck Musk. He has no idea the pain I went through losing a spouse unexpectedly. I've already sent an email to my AG(AZ) for referral for criminal charges against Musk for accessing private data.
Don’t get me started about Social Security, as a private business owner I signed the checks so I know how much not just you an employee but the company you work for put in. It’s the most scrutinized and targeted and helpful program ever more than ACA even. It’s the one thing that pays you after your medical bills have drained you and your family. You can Rest in Peace knowing there is money for survival in the plan. Wendy the article is very excellent you get an A. Take SS away and you will be in a deep depression. If your rich in your mind and on paper you can’t predict how bad and costly end of life care costs. And the stock market dictates many fortunes LOST so never support the rigged Wall Street, they have a plan for SS money so they suck you dry too.
Excellent and well researched with high quality sources cited. I have yet to see any citations in any of the propaganda put out by the Trump, err sorry, Musk Administration.
Throw the fucking Nazis out! What a fine idea. Civil Service employees need to bring baseball bats and brass knuckles to work. Padlocks and chains would also be useful. Lil' Marco is the ultimate cuckholder.
“Throw the fucking Nazis out! What a fine idea. Civil Service employees need to bring baseball bats and brass knuckles to work. Padlocks and chains would also be useful. Lil' Marco is the ultimate COCKSUCKER.”
Any Nazis on our front porch are going to receive all the thoughts and prayers that Arizona’s stand-your-ground law bestows upon us, and which both our Smith & Wesson and Mossberg enforcement mechanisms support, for we are Democrats who have had more than enough christo-fascist MAGA 🐂💩.
Imagine the thought process of a fellow human being who says and does the shit that Donnie does. Next imagine the family members and assistants who tell Donnie "Don't do this. It's not a good idea. It makes you look stupid." Oh. They don't tell him that.
The President of the United States is a self-unaware Dumb Shit. Like the stupidest, clueless, cruel, monarchs and dictators in history.
He plays foosie with world class thugs. He insults and dishonors our friends. He changes names on maps for no reason other than his own ego. He cheats at the "game of honor". He sells crap, without shame, to the gullible. He breaks the laws he has sworn an oath to protect and execute faithfully. He appoints the worst, ignorant, incompetent fools to positions of power.
Step back. Realize that Musk and Vance and Yarvin and Thiel and Andreesen have a plan. Donnie is so stupid he doesn't realize he's their beard. For now. They allow him to act like a Mad King. For now.
The Nazi bar, what a great analogy. Sadly, I think they are pretty damn close viz a viz America. By the way, Jeff, when will you start selling T-shirts with a map graphic “Gulf of Mexico?” Sincerely hope President Sheinbaum shames Google with her lawsuit.
Don’t give him more divisive ideas…. God only knows where he gets the fucked up ones he already has-being that I doubt he’s had an original thought his ENTIRE life.
My dad fought the Nazis in North Africa in WWII and I’m sure that he can’t believe what he’s seeing. That goes for all the American heroes who gave their lives to keep Nazism from our nation. They’re rolling in their graves. 🤬
Same here. My father's service was so important to him that he chose to have his ashes buried in the veteran's section of the cemetery instead of the family plot.
Resistance is forming. Dems are getting more forceful. Many who voted for him are finding out the hard way. This power grab and destruction of our gubmint infrastructure is a huge overreach, something that in their arrogance muskump did not think would be resisted. The best, and only lawful way is at the ballot box. No one sane wants a physical civil war. We must get our shit together, ensure that there are fair elections, and win over these low info voters to what is true and right.
I have to add that the second best way(s) to resist are donating to political causes (like Indivisible) and candidates, and (I know not everyone agrees but) SHOW UP. Tell your legislators to their faces that they are wrong (or right). It isn't easy but I've done it. You can, too.
So easy and Latin America is not the same as when we were all children. They are going up and up with quality of life steady and crime in petty comparatively as the the USA dives and it will, selling into it is the tactic and it’s too high now, right now!
Looking at the photo of Rubio and Lavrov, Ribbentrop-Molotov meeting prior to WWII. Lavrov will eat little Marco’s lunch, this is ridiculous not having Ukraine in these talks.. this agreement has already been worked out between Donny and Putin… it’s how this Axis rolls. Again last night on Russian TV they are bragging about have Donny in the bag and more war mongering about Russia rolling over Europe… It’s how fascists roll🤮
Since we can now apparently just name things what we want, I asked the principal at my school if we can name our trash collection area the "TrumpDump". No word yet.
Got news for Trump. Says he's restoring names. Show me a map that existed before 1/20/25 that has the name “Gulf of America.”
I wish I could sic the ghost of Hernando Cortez on that coward's pimply ass. He'd run, he'd crawl, he'd cower, and he'd beg.
Wanna see a picture of Cortez sticking it to Trump?
https://kathleenweber.substack.com/p/update-no-2
I would have said YES! lol (in a republican county…..so it wouldn’t have lasted long!! )
Yes, but it's important to go out with a BANG!
Thanks for this smile evoking snippet Mark!!
A fitting monument to be sure!
How about “Dump Trump” instead. I prefer the implications.

Forgot to mention him in my post, thanks for mentioning him.
I am also an old angry white man and it is all because the assholes "like me" that elected him. Know that I didn't and actively worked for the Harris team. Hang in there Fred.
More than 50% white women voted for the Dumpty too, so let's share discredit where it's due.
Agreed, but more importantly, it's time to share solutions. And we start by taking to the streets. I did that Friday and it was very cathartic.
Agree Fred. Thank you for being who you are. ✌️

A rapist no less.
And all I can say is WTF? Why not just invite the rapist into your living room, gals? Feel safer now? This makes absolutely no sense.
Hate towards all the ‘others’ just being a woman means you must sublimate without conditions.
Like hell I will.
I don't understand @Truhlar's perspective here.

Absolutely!
You said what I wanted to say, Joanne.
We havent been all that good. 😭😭
We have presented two very different faces to the world. We as a country have been an incredibly generous country with our wealth. We have also been an incredibly destructive presence too. Over the years though we have become terribly spoiled. We haven’t experienced the immediate horrors of war on our soil since the un-Civil War.

I'd have more hope if someone had sent the Muskrat packing, charged with treason, the day he stood there and made the Nazi salute. How the hell did he get away with that - even BEFORE he invaded all our government departments? I'm not happy that I can't wake up from this nightmare.
Watch American Primeval on Netflix if you get tempted to think we were EVER a good country.
We are not the country we think we are to be sure or we would not be at this junction now. Americans supporting Nazis? My grandparents would be sick 😫.
Um...there was that unpleasant little fracas between the States, back around 1861 to 1865. We weren't invaded by another country but there was a shit ton of blood shed on both sides. And the ill-feeling and denial persists even now.
That’s the problem. Unlike Germany, we never deal with our 💩. Instead, we deny the racism & genocide on which this country was built.
Truest statement I’ve seen today Abbi!!
Yeah, exactly, Abbi! Those Civil War relics have been underground for a long time and guess who resurrected them? It was Putin using Donnie’s voice.
Marlene, a few years ago, maybe at the KKK rally in Charlottesville, before or after, several Civil War statutes were removed (at least one) in the dead of night. Strong danger level.
Maga went crazy. "Put them back"
As George Carlin once said, "bullshit is the glue that holds the country together."
That ill feeling is PLAYING OUT NOW.
Yes, and it has spread well beyond its original slavery-is-approved-in-the-Old Testament territory.
DUH. Of course....I'm in such a hurry, I cant even think this morning. How did I miss THAT! I edited my original statement.
Perhaps we're due for another lesson in hate fueled stupidity.
Okay start dumbing down, way down.
Yup, beginning with the Dept of Ed., and 'revising' books and documents.
Talk to some Black people. We've never been a good country.

THAT is the actual work of "locking arms with" Black people. They can't convince white people to look at it. We have to. And yes, it's really hard.
Totally identify. The constant denigration and bastardization of blacks I heard constantly growing up made me just sick.
Well, there was lots of blood and destruction on 9/11. Pearl Harbor. The Revolution. But as a Native American, I can say, yes, loads of slaughtering once we were "discovered".
The horrors of American imperialism and colonialism was wrought upon the indigenous population!!
American and European landowners overthrew the Kingdom of Hawaii in 1893. Hawaii was an occupied territory. So, the US was attacked there while we were an occupation army.

Okay, I gave you a hint, which you refused to take. So here it is, as fucking honestly as I can put it:

Half are at least. Maybe that’s the half that should go to war. Help clean out the cesspool of a gene pool. I really try no to hate people because I believe it comes back to bite you but I’m getting to the point to where it would be worth it because I am beginning to viscerally hate every last one of these mutherfuckers.
I think it's entirely possible, but I hope not, because the evangelical zealots running things would jizz themselves at the chance to launch nukes. Their entire shtick is trying to kick off their pet apocalypse, and now they have access to the nuclear codes again.
Chilling- people are nuts’
He's aiming for a Civil War and a World War simultaneously.
Yes.

I know you all will come up with some gems.
Thanks! I've been reporting "missing place" but couldn't quite figure out how to do this! And must say, Gulf of Capitulating Billionaires" really rolls off the tonque nicely.
Sister, good one!
Gulf of Capitulating Billionaires is brilliant.
Absolutely Gulf Of Capitulating billionaires!
Concrete boots for magats then they will get to the bottom of this all of them together for ever!
Unfortunately I avoid google like the plague. I'm not going there just to do this...
Me too. Ironic that their tag line used to be "Don't be evil."
I feel the same way Ellen, are there any altruistic billionaires to support? Stupid question, but using Safari for a google map search, search yields a satisfactory result!!
Patrick, MacKenzie Scott? Bezos' former wife?
I just did this BUT you don't get the option to leave feedback (by clicking those three dots) on Chrome using Norton. Don't know which entity is the hang up but as soon as I switched to Safari, it was there.
I’ve only used Chrome once Carol, but good on you for your efforts!
yours are pretty f-ing brilliant Susan! Off to google Gulf of Mexico!
Thanks, and done!
Well dug idea Susan!!
I reported an issue with Apple Maps, where they list both names. Then I reported a second issue, as they're clearly showing a imbalance by posting Persian Gulf instead of Persian Gulf (Arabian Gulf). I guess they're selective about which dictators they bow down to?
The value would be greater if everyone would just correct it the way it is supposed to be,
The Gulf Of Mexico, otherwise Google will just laugh and dismiss our efforts and not take this seriously.
Gulf of crybaby toddlers from Americas dangly bit.
Maybe it's a "Chrome" thing but I got no 'dots'. But there's a box to the right that says "About" and lower right corner is "feedback" where you can tell them to grow a freaking spine and Just Say No.
Unfortunately, Google maps has shut off comments… I tried your idea and that’s what came up… I’ll bet they got some comments! Hahahaha
I have done this several times. It's fun.
Brilliant! Going to do that right now
Trump’s only gulf is between his ears where he plays in his imaginary gulf course.
One of my kids was in preschool during the first Gulf War (daddy Bush’s) and one of his friends lived close to a golf course. So one day when I was driving him home, he told my son the Golf War was only 9 miles from his house. It was adorable coming from a 4 year old, and your comment reminded me of what was so much sweeter than the putrid nazi in chief.
I kind of expected him to name it the “Gulf of Golf.”
Nah, Golf of Trump is more suitable.
Would have been more likely to fuel his drug addled psychopathy Arne!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
👏👏👏👏
Yup, the very toxic Gulf of Bullshit.
👏👏👏👏
Is it not the intention of the MAGATS and Nazi’s among us to alienate the United States from the rest of the world? This is the very definition of “Nationalism.” All part of President Elmo’s plan.
Got news for Liddle Marco. Hitler didn't think much of those mestizos from Cuba.
I think of Marco as snotty "pure blood" Spanish colonist descendent, but what do I know
I think there's always some spoiled blood in there.
I keep thinking of that Nazi on the rooftop with his “boils” in Mel Brook’s “The Producers.”
If only we could defeat them by ridiculing them. I never thought that Rubio was especially bright, but I had hoped that he might value sanity over obedience. I should have remembered that obedience is the hallmark of all good nazis.
Rubio is so strange. He's a Brown christian Nationalist .
Like so many Cuban immigrants. IMMIGRANTS
Same here but Trump would dump him if he showed any signs of straying away from the dear leader’s position. Or whoever is running the show 😉
Kenneth Mars in “The Producers” - excellent
I keep thinking of that Nazi on the rooftop with his birds in Mel Brook’s “The Producers.”
Definitely part of Putin’s plan
1. I’ve renamed Donny the Orange Fuckwit but I’ve yet to see it in any article or on the WH website. 🤔
2. Love the bar story. Never give a Nazi a place to hang out.
The Gulf of Eternal “Dont Pay Attention to What Im taking away from you” America. Here is our contribution today Jeff, thank you for everything you are doing. https://thistleandmoss.com/p/elon-musk-the-us-social-security
Thank you for that info. I was on survivor benefits from age 60 until this past October when I turned mine on at 70. It's a big jump in your monthly income waiting until 70. As a widow I depend on getting that check direct deposited every month. Fuck Musk. He has no idea the pain I went through losing a spouse unexpectedly. I've already sent an email to my AG(AZ) for referral for criminal charges against Musk for accessing private data.
As I recall, the 4th Amendment guarantees privacy in our records and effects; ergo, whatever Eloon is doing with our data is UNCONSTITUTIONAL!
Well done, Wendy- thank you!!!
Don’t get me started about Social Security, as a private business owner I signed the checks so I know how much not just you an employee but the company you work for put in. It’s the most scrutinized and targeted and helpful program ever more than ACA even. It’s the one thing that pays you after your medical bills have drained you and your family. You can Rest in Peace knowing there is money for survival in the plan. Wendy the article is very excellent you get an A. Take SS away and you will be in a deep depression. If your rich in your mind and on paper you can’t predict how bad and costly end of life care costs. And the stock market dictates many fortunes LOST so never support the rigged Wall Street, they have a plan for SS money so they suck you dry too.
Thank you. Kindly.
Excellent and well researched with high quality sources cited. I have yet to see any citations in any of the propaganda put out by the Trump, err sorry, Musk Administration.
Throw the fucking Nazis out! What a fine idea. Civil Service employees need to bring baseball bats and brass knuckles to work. Padlocks and chains would also be useful. Lil' Marco is the ultimate cuckholder.
“Throw the fucking Nazis out! What a fine idea. Civil Service employees need to bring baseball bats and brass knuckles to work. Padlocks and chains would also be useful. Lil' Marco is the ultimate COCKSUCKER.”
There, fixed it for you. 😊
I thought they both worked well.
Thanks.😂
Any Nazis on our front porch are going to receive all the thoughts and prayers that Arizona’s stand-your-ground law bestows upon us, and which both our Smith & Wesson and Mossberg enforcement mechanisms support, for we are Democrats who have had more than enough christo-fascist MAGA 🐂💩.
Mossberg does more damage. (Double canister clears your front!)😈
Imagine the thought process of a fellow human being who says and does the shit that Donnie does. Next imagine the family members and assistants who tell Donnie "Don't do this. It's not a good idea. It makes you look stupid." Oh. They don't tell him that.
The President of the United States is a self-unaware Dumb Shit. Like the stupidest, clueless, cruel, monarchs and dictators in history.
He plays foosie with world class thugs. He insults and dishonors our friends. He changes names on maps for no reason other than his own ego. He cheats at the "game of honor". He sells crap, without shame, to the gullible. He breaks the laws he has sworn an oath to protect and execute faithfully. He appoints the worst, ignorant, incompetent fools to positions of power.
Step back. Realize that Musk and Vance and Yarvin and Thiel and Andreesen have a plan. Donnie is so stupid he doesn't realize he's their beard. For now. They allow him to act like a Mad King. For now.
HE'S A RAPIST
Agreed emphatically
Felon.
Rapist, Traitor, Felon, ,Liar, and 100 other
“fine” traits.
No other Presidente ever came close to this debauchery
The Nazi bar, what a great analogy. Sadly, I think they are pretty damn close viz a viz America. By the way, Jeff, when will you start selling T-shirts with a map graphic “Gulf of Mexico?” Sincerely hope President Sheinbaum shames Google with her lawsuit.
The U.S. is now that Nazi bar. Not only are they being welcomed with open arms, but they’re being offered free drinks.
Yes! Gulf of What the Fuck….and trump/leon are leaders of the What the Fuck Political Nazi Party…in the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. GET OUT!!!!
Next, he's gonna rename the Pacific and Atlantic and call them American Ocean West and American Ocean East.
Sssssshhhhh…
Don’t give him more divisive ideas…. God only knows where he gets the fucked up ones he already has-being that I doubt he’s had an original thought his ENTIRE life.
I can’t believe that we are now the nation of Nazism. 😭
I wish that I could get the hell out.
Yeah we are now the scourge to the entire planet thanks to Donnie, President Musk and Couchfuck.
My dad fought the Nazis in North Africa in WWII and I’m sure that he can’t believe what he’s seeing. That goes for all the American heroes who gave their lives to keep Nazism from our nation. They’re rolling in their graves. 🤬
Same here. My father's service was so important to him that he chose to have his ashes buried in the veteran's section of the cemetery instead of the family plot.
My Dad was Army Air Corps. Thirty missions in a B-24.
Thirty missions. Damn, that’s badass
So was my dad. He was stationed in England and flew with them before he was sent to North Africa.
My Dad's first posting was Libya. Then to England.
Was he with the Ninth Air Force?
My father's flying partner wrote a book about their plane. He was in N. Africa too, and I believe Anzio. https://www.abebooks.com/9780913337318/Janey-Little-Plane-Big-Schultz-0913337315/plp
Me too, I hate it here, I see Nazi pod people everywhere, I assume everyone I see is one now SCARY 😨
I feel the same way.
Or we stay and fuck them up once and for all
👍👍
How?
Resistance is forming. Dems are getting more forceful. Many who voted for him are finding out the hard way. This power grab and destruction of our gubmint infrastructure is a huge overreach, something that in their arrogance muskump did not think would be resisted. The best, and only lawful way is at the ballot box. No one sane wants a physical civil war. We must get our shit together, ensure that there are fair elections, and win over these low info voters to what is true and right.
I have to add that the second best way(s) to resist are donating to political causes (like Indivisible) and candidates, and (I know not everyone agrees but) SHOW UP. Tell your legislators to their faces that they are wrong (or right). It isn't easy but I've done it. You can, too.
So easy and Latin America is not the same as when we were all children. They are going up and up with quality of life steady and crime in petty comparatively as the the USA dives and it will, selling into it is the tactic and it’s too high now, right now!
Looking at the photo of Rubio and Lavrov, Ribbentrop-Molotov meeting prior to WWII. Lavrov will eat little Marco’s lunch, this is ridiculous not having Ukraine in these talks.. this agreement has already been worked out between Donny and Putin… it’s how this Axis rolls. Again last night on Russian TV they are bragging about have Donny in the bag and more war mongering about Russia rolling over Europe… It’s how fascists roll🤮
Ukraine and the EU won't accept it. Ukraine isn't going anywhere.
