I've been noodling this for some time now and I'm pretty fucking sure that Tom Brady is AI. The counterpoint is that I might be a little high.

"Give me liberty or give me death!" is not someting you will say to a foreign aggressor anymore. That is something to say to the ICE nazis. Because they are the brown shirts who are willing to give you that death.
This is getting horribly serious now. All because of Trump and his fascists.

This is amazing. A 1945 War Dept. pamphlet warning against fascism, and how to spot it, describes to a tee what is happening in our country today.
My grandad, who fought fascists of that era, said it would return with a vengeance when there's nobody left to remember how awful it was.

It seems obvious to me, but if you're holding a cell phone while shooting someone in the face, you're probably not in fear of your own life.

It's really fucking weird that America elevated the uncontested avatar for the absolute worst among us to the highest position in the country. Twice.
It's societal seppuku.

Trump: "I feel I won Minnesota. I think I won it all three times. Nobody has won it since Richard Nixon won it many many years ago. I won it all three times in my opinion. It's a corrupt state ... I did so well in that state. The people were crying every time after."

This angle shows Trump’s ICE agent standing on the side of the vehicle and firing into the open window at the driver. This was murder.

BARTIROMO: What is the GOP's healthcare plan?
RICK SCOTT: Many times you can buy it way cheaper by just going directly to a doctor or a hospital or surgery center rather than going through the insurance product. Let them buy their own insurance.

On this day in 2021, the US president incited an insurrection to overturn an election, and America said relax, my dudes, everyone deserves a 2nd chance, and besides, it's not like he would turn America from the dominant global superpower into a poorer, sicker, regional imperialist bully or anything

As a long-suffering Washington football team fan, I can't express how excited I am to witness yet another meaningless end of season game vs a team that's resting its starters while we catapult our rotting corpses at the castle walls. For fuck's fucking sake 🙄
