Politically exhausted man who hates conservatives. Sarcasm connoisseur. Family man. I love video games and movies!

they didn’t leak it to make the shooter look innocent, but to make the victim look guilty. not guilty of a crime. guilty of having a visibly queer wife. guilty of liberalism. guilty of opposing the regime. they don’t seek to exonerate themselves, only to demonstrate who deserves to die.
In the video that the shooter took, which I believe was leaked to be exculpatory, he appears to yell “fucking bitch” after he shoots Renee Good.

I’m sorry the decorum argument was dead ten fucking years ago when the entire republican party hitched themselves to mister “grab them by the pussy”

The ICE killer was a "hardcore MAGA" per media today. They kill us when we protest. They kill Democratic elected official in Minn. They attack our Capitol. MAGA is a terrorist movement and must be sanctioned as such.

The fact that conservatives are, at the end of the day, such pussies just makes me even madder that these losers have control over our entire government. Crazy that people voted for these limp wristed douches.

The fact the administration had to trot out this fat assed, rancid, small fraction of a man out to defend the ICE Nazi that shot Renee Good means the administration knows the ICE Nazi fucked up.

I recall a Thanksgiving dinner in 2003 sitting as the lone liberal at the table when one of the guests asked what I thought about the Patriot Act/DHS. I said that we'd regret it, that I'd rather fly naked than give up so much of our liberty, that TSA was kabuki theater. Coulda heard a pin drop.

Have to once again mention the surprising consistency this administration has in people with the most punchable faces. Trump must be dying from the way they’re turning up the hateful bullshit. This party needs to be dismantled.

At this point, if a Democratic presidential candidate wants my vote, their platform has to - at bare minimum - include some version of "I am going to put all these freaks in prison for their crimes." Full stop. No compromise. I am now a single issue voter for the dark woke prison camps.

Going to be fun watching conservative media and influencers twist themselves into pretzels to just fat Orange Julius going to war with Venezuela a year after shouting “No new wars” What we’re seeing tn is the same shit we saw 25 yrs ago but stupider. A great example of how conservatism is a cancer.

look at how little effort it takes for someone on the conservative grievance circuit to destroy a life

millions of college kids have half assed an assignment at the last minute, you eat the F and move on

but the effort to push trans people out of public life will use whatever it can get

In case you're unclear on what JD Vance is trying to do here maybe it will help to recall Italian writer Ignazio Silone's 1938 description of what fascism is:

“Fascism is a counter-revolution against a revolution that never took place.”

I’ve never advocated for violence; I just personally find it amazing how the one consistent theme with this administration is how everyone just has the most punchable faces possible.
