A typical morning of reading the news and saying F..K.

[Dunc]

ICE fucks up again and executes another person and now a family is mourning their loss and making funeral arrangements.
And as for our elections the Heritage Foundation has six members sitting on the bench at the Supreme Court.

Recently two MAGA associates have said they
did not vote for this , yes you fucking did vote for this you and seventy seven million people voted for this. Every time there is an attempt at progress in this country these people, usually white men as i am try and claw it back.

History shows after the civil war the white southerners took over their states and continued the oppression of black folks through terrorism and with Jim Crow suppression.

And same after World War Two the racist wanted to keep black folks in their so called place. After they fought bled and were killed in action or wounded same as in Korea and Vietnam. Hey boy we need your bodies to preserve democracy abroad yet not at home.
The terror unleashed during the civil rights movement by these people in fighting against any progress towards equality for everyone.
In this old man dyslexic rant I can’t help but wonder what if Bobby Kennedy was never assassinated.
There would have been no Reagan presidency no welfare queen no trickledown. Or the immoral majority holding a cross wrapping themselves in a flag. A complete waste of my time thinking only what if yet i go there in my head.


And now every day we find ourselves in a tight spot in a fight to keep our country and democracy glued together.
And I still am terrified of a ground invasion in the straights.
Problem solved because we have FREEDUMB Trump fuel gas stations now. 87 octane mixed with the blood of the thirteen killed in action and the body parts of our four hundred wounded.

And last night i had a seventy pound golden retriever seeking shelter from the thunderstorms. In him going to his usual safe place when his world is in turmoil. Which is laying on my pillows in bed licking my head because my dear boy is stressed out.
Just an angry rant and i have to remind myself the confederacy was shit , as the Nazis were shit and same for MAGA pure shit.
And we survived and made it to the other side and moved on.
And then i think how we made it to the other side . We suffered a lot of dead and wounded people. From the civil war same as in World War One and World War two.
And in thinking like that it terrifies me yet i hope that we can pull it off just by voting and escape any mass violence.
I worry as all of us and i can’t just sit by i have to be involved do something in this fight we are in. I have volunteered for Election Day midterms poll worker waiting for the orientation and training date by email.

The constant bullshit first it was the immigrants then they were eating the cats and dogs and these people buy into this fear. Then it was the Trans community and now it’s the communist.
I’ll tell you if i had a fucking dollar for every time a Communist or trans person or an immigrant caused any kind of problems in my life . I would have exactly zero dollars.

4. Right there with you, buddy.

Volunteering on Election Day is a good idea. Especially since ICE will be there too.

7. I must admit, the Communist BS playbook took me by surprise

Here in Tennessee, Marsha Blackburn is running for governor, and she is running fear-ads about the Chinese buying Tennessee farmland (conveniently forgetting about the data centers). In one CONSTANTLY running ad, she is sitting in a Chinese restaurant with a pile of fortune cookies in front of her, and she is smashing fortune cookies throughout the ad (presumably showing how she will crush the Commies!). The ugly childishness of it is stupifying.

12. Don't let your Golden see that ad

He'll be back on your pillows, licking your head! She's scarier than any thunderstorm!

[mgardener]

8. It never ceases to amaze me

When they whine and say, I never voted for this.
Yes you did.
Stop lying to us and yourself.
Even after the 4 years of hell that Trump rained on this country the first time around.
Stupid, stupid people.

9. Well said. Thank you for this. First thing

11. Outstanding post. n/t

[BeneteauBum]

13. Rant away!

We’re right there with you. The daily frustration due to this incompetent administration can be overwhelming. All of us would like to regain consistent leadership. I believe things are changing as the idiots in charge continue to erode support…….most people don’t want the lies and obfuscation that spews from Washington every day. Take a deep breath…..one day at a time. Scratch the pup behind the ears for me!

Peace ☮️

14. And WE WILL turn back the radical right insanity!!
