Mohini talks about the absurdity of ICE agents and how they are the ones who are escalating things at protests.

"How do you expect to win back men...?"

We don't want those men. They are the hot dogs on the floor of humanity and we still have all these nice prepped hamburger patties if someone would just let them cook.

People act like all the men are gone. The men are attending protests. The men are putting together scooters for their kids. The men are getting a set of turntables for the first time. The men are buying Nikes. The men are getting super into noir. They're not Nazis and they're fine. Keep your freaks.

Since they stated it is a joke, can we all just say OK we get the joke and now we’re going to make videos of ourselves in military aircraft dumping sewage & shit onto the president, & onto ICE?

Can we bombard the hovt accounts here with AI videos of that hilarious joke? Will they love it?

Remember that AI cartoon Turnip posted of his imaginary self dumping 💩 on #NoKings demonstrators? The main character appears to be Harry Sisson, influencer supporting democracy. More here:

the president has destroyed the east wing of the white house without so much as a word of input from anyone else to build a royal ballroom paid for with bribes

NEW: After The Washington Post reported Monday on the demolition of the "East Wing facade," a new picture obtained by Law Dork that was taken on Tuesday shows that a substantial portion of the entirety of the East Wing has been demolished.

I have long been convinced that the History Channel deciding that Nazism needed to be "exciting" was a bad turn for us all.

Jason @angryamadeus.bsky.social · 11h

Funny you mention the History channel. Firm believer that they (and other Discovery networks) had an outsized and overlooked role in landing us where we are now. Nazis, conspiracy theories, factual examples of times the feds lied etc etc. It's all there. Warpin brains behind a veneer of 'history'

President Trump is demanding that the Justice Department pay him about $230 million in compensation for the federal investigations into him.

Whether he gets paid will ultimately be up to DOJ's second-in-command, who was recently his personal lawyer.

Democrats should be drawing up legislation right now, this very minute, to bar Trump from helping himself to $230 million in taxpayer funds from DOJ. Challenge Republicans to hold a vote on it. Push this so hard in the media that every GOP Senate and House candidate is pressed to comment on it.

This is a really good article because, for the children of the top 10%, college is mostly about signaling in-group status. Actually learning things and getting a job based on your skills is for all the poors in public schools.

How to Join ICE

STEP 1
Be born with something just…missing

STEP 2
Try deporting a few neighbors without the constitutional authority to do so, to see if it’s for you

STEP 3
Unlearn any secondary languages you may know

STEP 4
If filling out the application form presents a challenge, candidates may instead demonstrate how hard they can punch a dog

I assume all of these so-called renovations are going to include the installation of all manner of spying devices for Russia.
Arguably the entire reason things like this are being done is to facilitate further infiltration of our government, because Republicans are Russian agents and traitors.
