American law, it seems to me, exists to create a condition of constant titillation for people whose material needs are never unmet, but whose appetites have been teased into a state of ungovernable sadism by sloganeering & advertising that promises a return to a world that never existed & never will
Our survival is their failure
I knew eventually right-wing shock troops were coming here

Old Soviet joke:

Why do ICE agents travel in groups of three?

One can read, one can write, and the third keeps an eye on the two intellectuals
New ICE recruiting methods have resulted in half of this group of absolute winners failing AN OPEN BOOK TEST
Why's this guy so scared to say what he means?

he's knocking down the literal white house and illegally murdering people by dropping bombs on international boats and the government has been shut down for weeks and it's just like....yep
can't even bring himself to say he didn't do it
I dunno, maybe you were in the USAF Handing Out Ice Cream division, but if you need me to validate your life's work then that's on you. The US military exists to kill and the fact that we don't have to force people to do it is deeply embarrassing to the nation and the species.

free line for democrats to use on the white house shit: donald trump has done what the flight 93 hijackers couldn’t
No. There's no rule that says the army can't have planes and boats and whatever the marines are for. It's waste fraud and abuse.
Texas and Florida are the 2nd and 3rd most diverse states.
But imagine if you had spent that time doing something good.
Because I want to make it clear that "more than most" is too low of a bar for a US senator
Yeah but I'd do it for free
I'm not a New Yorker, so people there usually call it "NYC"
Alarm going off at the fire station and the firefighters are calling 911.

What alarm? Is he just up there saying "somebody should do something about this" for 20 hours?
People criticizing my sowing tattoo should consider that I have reaping-related trauma.
If criticizing your "badass killer death trooper" tattoo triggers your PTSD, but seeing a depiction of a dismembered body part that commemorates your time killing people in the mirror every morning does not, your trauma is about the wrong thing.
Ruben Gallego, a Marine who also had PTSD, on Graham Platner: “But, you know, everyone has a right to grow and grow out of their stupidity, essentially. And I think voters should take the opportunity to evaluate that.”
