Time for an updated pinned post. Enjoyed fresh air, fresh fish tacos and cold beer at Down The Hatch in Ponce Inlet Florida a few weeks ago. I can't wait to get back!

I'm waiting patiently for fish tacos and beer at Ponce Inlet Florida. 😎

Threatening to put a significant number of American citizens in gas chambers because of their beliefs is not school boy talk

Especially when it comes from a group of college aged and older

Take violent threats against a specific group of people in our society seriously… it’s called hate speech

Since Mike Johnson won’t put me up, read my inscription here:

J6 Plaque @thejan6plaque.bsky.social · Nov 22

“On behalf of a grateful Congress, this plaque honors the extraordinary individuals who bravely protected and defended this symbol of democracy on January 6, 2021. Their heroism will never be forgotten.”

One of the things people will be protesting this Saturday at No Kings is Scott Bessent sending $40 billion of our money to Argentina while Trump plays golf and Congress says nothing.

That isn’t “hating America.”

That is America First.

Republicans want bailouts for oligarchs.

Mike Johnson is the biggest scumbag
The lamest bum-hag ya ever did see
A Christo-Fascist on my hypocrite ass list
So smug and pale he's on the Devil's guest list
Protecting criminals like only a fiend would
Thinks the half time show should be Lee Greenwood
Mike Johnson are two obscene words RS

Supreme Court to honor Charlie Kirk by ending the Voting Rights Act

From the New York Times:
Mr. Kirk believed the Civil Rights Act of 1964 was a destructive force in American politics, calling its passage a “mistake” that he said has been turned into “an anti-white weapon.”

He also blamed the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. for the law and was highly critical of the slain civil rights leader, calling him an “awful” person. Mr. Kirk said he desired a colorblind society but blamed the veneration of Dr. King for what he saw as America’s fixation on race.

Mr. Kirk was also a staunch opponent of affirmative action and was highly critical of the Supreme Court justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, calling her a “diversity hire” who wasn’t qualified to serve on the highest court.

The plaque honoring the law enforcement officers who responded to the January 6, 2021, attack on the U.S. Capitol, which was commissioned by Congress in 2022, remains in storage. Mike Johnson has refused to place it on the wall, as was intended. That "deed" speaks pretty loudly.

Mike Johnson: "We've always stood with Capitol police and law enforcement. We've shown that in word and deed."

Which Republican genius came up with the talking point to label millions of ordinary Americans peacefully protesting their government as paid Marxists who hate America?

That’s really what you are going with?

That we hate the United States of America?

Fuck you.
