We’re currently in the “pain” side of the equation:

297 - No Pain, No Gain

We’re dealing with the pain part of the equation right now - hope it’s worth it.

This is rich coming from a man that doesn’t believe in Christianity.
Whatever happens to the pitiful shriveled excuse for a soul he may or may not have, it’s got so much Karma to work off he’ll be paying for what he’s done for millennia.

Leave it shutdown until the midterms. No government is better than this one funded.

Because of that every time the bill is brought up it needs additional conditions added:
1) stop the illegal tariffs
2) defund ICE
3) release the Epstein files.

All FOUR conditions need to be met before the Dems should agree to re-opening the government, else just leave it shut down.

They’re such infants. What do they think? They think they can get away with not swearing in a duly elected member forever? And all this to protect a pedophile?
What a rancid cult MAGA is.

Aardman @aardman.bsky.social · 13h

Because they’re going to eventually replace the generals that will refuse to shoot their neighbors with stooges more than happy to comply with illegal orders, and if that’s the case best to start pushing back now.
Or maybe images of bullets penetrating inflatable frog costumes will turn the tide.

I’m hopeful it’s successful because in my opinion eventually they’ll grow weary of not getting the violent responses they yearn for and will either stage one or make up some other kind of excuse to start shooting us anyway, so maybe it’s better to take action while the military is still on our side.

Spent some time sharpening my knives - they’re dangerously sharp now!

There is no point in remaining non-violent because he’s just going to get impatient and make up some excuse to start shooting us anyway, so might as well get started while we still have generals willing to defy his orders to fire on us because he’s going to replace them with MAGA goons soon anyway.

Aardman @aardman.bsky.social · 1d

The saving grace is he’ll be dead long before then.

Aardman @aardman.bsky.social · 1d

I’ll be glad to start shooting before I sit still for that.

Aardman @aardman.bsky.social · 1d

I don’t believe we should pay our taxes when our money is being used to send goon squads into the cities to terrorize us and line the pockets of billionaires.

Aardman @aardman.bsky.social · 1d

Pretty much sums it up

Aardman @aardman.bsky.social · 1d

Quite literally no government at all is better than this nightmare, so keep it closed.

Oooo I’m a BIG fan of Umiliani - one of the most prolific, interesting, talented and unfortunately obscure composers I know of. He has a discography numbering into the hundreds. I love this record of library music he did under the name of “Moggi”

The D’s are being pussies. Demand WAY more than that while we have the leverage:
1) end the tariffs
2) end ICE
3) release the Epstein files
4) fix healthcare
All FOUR requirements need to be met or we leave the government shut down until the midterms if necessary.
They’re getting off too easy.

He’s totally demolished the good reputation that used to be attached to the name Kennedy.

Normally I would say this is self-punishing stupidity, but it’s not, children that have no control over this are the ones paying the price.
These motherfuckers need to be held responsible, and they will be unless they die first.

Aardman @aardman.bsky.social · 1d

Brutal motherfuckers - their day is coming.

Aardman @aardman.bsky.social · 1d

Keep in mind the asshole NEVER changes his mind or admits to a mistake, so none of this will stop as long as he is alive and allowed to wallow in the Oval Office.
Gonna need to make the Republican Party more afraid of us than they are of him before this will every change.
That, or a tax strike.

Aardman @aardman.bsky.social · 1d

Yup, I’m not paying for this crap.
FYI, I’ve never done this before despite knowing it not breaking the law.

In case you forgot, that bloated orange shithead never ever admits to a mistake, so as long as he’s alive and holding office, nothing will change. Tariffs won’t go away, ICE won’t go away and rich pricks will enjoy the largess.

Make it so miserable for Republicans they finally grow a pair.

Aardman @aardman.bsky.social · 1d

Nationwide TAX strike will stop it all in no time, why are people more afraid of the IRS than they are of this authoritarian asshole?
Your form is clearly marked as voluntary and that’s because you sign under penalty of perjury and you can’t be forced to do that.
Stop withholding, stop filing.
