“No kings equal no paychecks” enrages me.

Utterly and completely false you greedy, stupid conmen

Bessent: "This crazy No Kings rally this weekend, which is gonna be the farthest left, the hardest core, the most unhinged in the Democratic Party, which is a big title. No Kings equals no paychecks."

It’s true, and one of the giant failures of the Democratic Party has been believing that a “Clinton political machine” existed EVEN AFTER Obama became a 2 term President

GHOULLIKEHELLMACHINE @golikehellmachine.com · 10h

from my WIFL interview with @jdandeneau.bsky.social

I don’t know how many people have actually internalized this, but the vast majority of local Democratic operations are staffed and run by blue-haired little old ladies who have been doing this for 40 years and are funding it with bake sales, and are keeping the flame alive in a time when parties are as weak as they’ve ever been. If you are under the age of 50 and you show up and act normal for, like, 3 months, they will do whatever you want because they’re so excited to have a young person there. Parties are weak right now because of some factors that are outside of our control, but a lot of factors are within our control and the big one is that we just haven’t paid enough attention to the atomic-level units, and party infrastructure. If you strengthen those, then party identity as a whole will follow. Party strength as a whole will follow.

If there were justice in this world, these fucks would all be in jail. But there isn’t. So we either need to tear it all down, or burn it down.

Remember when Christian debuted in AEW Revolution as a Hall of Fame worthy signing that caused people to get upset because they thought it would be Bautista, Cena, or Brock.

Then Christian proved why he was one of the best and biggest signings in AEW.

Yes! The next match was actually the publicized main event of All Out ‘21. Widely considered the greatest PPV

List of things I wish never would’ve been on AEW:

- William Regal’s posthumous promo
- Brandi Rhodes hair cutting nonsense
- Red & Blue laser beams
- Ric Flair

To be clear:

LA County has declared a state of emergency BECAUSE OF the federal government.

The Feds, LA County is (correctly) saying, have CAUSED the emergency.

This is a striking political moment of internal collapse. Local govts feeling compelled to protect their ppl from … their own govt.

Los Angeles County declares state of emergency over immigration raids

Los Angeles County officials voted on Tuesday to declare a state of emergency over ongoing federal immigration raids.

Nick Jackson: “In pro wrestling this is called a callback”

Hits Jack Perry with the mic

* just like when Kenny won the title in this same ring, same venue at Winter is Coming

Gives Jack Perry the TK driver

* In the same ring, same venue, same turnbuckle the Bucks gave TK the same move

Classic scheme. Probably a business school case about it already

I've said all along that scheme with the WWE-TNA partnership is to just to decrease worker pay. You send WWE people to TNA to work shows you don't pay them. And TNA sends people to work WWE shows they don't pay them. Meanwhile all this free labor allows WWE to release a ton of folks.

They have people working for free and throw them away when they are injured.
