I like that you remain hopeful. Someone has to. I don't know if I'm a pessimist or a realist but I've been talking about this stuff and making worse case predictions for so long only to see them come true that I begin to doubt the will of people to fix what's broken.

Agreed fuck that guy, and most of his co-workers too.

Sure, we could get rid of trump but that doesn't cure the cancer that's at the head of every agency, the legislature, and the supreme court. Like I said, I'm sure that if I live beyond the life expectancy of a normal white male in the US this shit still wont be fixed when I die of natural causes.

Probably because it appears that some of them have forgotten that part of the military regulations. Every service member involved in the extrajudicial killings in the waters off Venezuela are liable for future charges of murder, civil rights violations, and war crimes. The reminder is justified.

Unfortunately I agree with you mostly. Removing trump doesn't fix the problem though, you have to remove Thiel, Vought, Miller, the Federalists, Heritage, most of the SCOTUS, the cancer runs deep. I'm convinced a "national crisis" will be dummied up to "postpone" the next 2 elections indefinitely.

Oh it definitely is and we are definitely fucked. This won't get fixed in the time I have left, if it gets fixed at all. This fight started in 1933 when the wealthiest Americans tried to have General SD Butler overthrow FDR. It didn't work but the conspirators weren't punished and the plan lived on

A lot of those professions listed are careers held by predominately women. If you reclassify the profession then it doesn't qualify for federal loans and then women are denied their choice of careers and education. These motherfuckers have been working our these plans for a long time.

The thing is that he's not even the real problem. We don't start clawing our way back unless Thiel, Vought, Miller, the Heritage Foundation, Federalists Society and every contributor to Project 2025 is rounded up and brought to justice.

Un-fucking-believable. I'm sure that if any of my uncles or my pop were still alive they would have a pretty strong opinion on this new policy.

I think taxes not based on income are unfair and regressive, they hit the poor and working people much harder than they do the wealthy. That's why I was against Newsom's fuel tax that we voted for, sales taxes and fees steal food from the mouths of workers and the poor.

I have hated that guy more and longer than anyone I've ever met and for a grudge holder like me that's saying a lot.

My brother always says "Gettin old ain't for sissies" and I say "Gettin old sucks but as far as I know it beats the alternative".

And a hell of a writer too.

Like my cousin the retired Charlotte detective said, ICE better watch out because Charlotte's got more guns than grits.

You should get to know my friend Joe Lyou, @jklyou.bsky.social, he's the Coalition for Clean Air President & CEO and he's been working on issues like this for as long as I've known him.

If those agencies aren't able to stop them then it is the duty of the governor to expand the California State Guard and expand it's mission to protect residents and citizens of California. Parts of our state are under siege of D.C.'s illegal secret police.
