For my newsletter today, I wrote about the American police state and how Democrats are going to have to kill it if they have any hope of rebuilding from the authoritarian Trump regime. www.burnsnotice.com/democrats-mu...

Democrats Must Kill Their Inner Cops

The Katie Porter viral videos do show someone with deficient interpersonal skills at best. But let's be honest about why the pile-on is happening: the political establishment in California wants to tempt Alex Padilla into the race by smearing his top opponent.

Not at all surprised that the heinous attack on St. Helena Island, the very seat and center of Gullah Geechee culture isn't being widely reported or focused on.

Motherfuckers taking extreme issue with people in this country not wanting a fucking king and being anti fascist is truly one of the more outrageous things I thought I’d ever see in my life. It’s not really surprising because nothing ever is with white people. But it’s still very wild to see it.

Oh, well, THAT makes my black ass feel SOOOO much better. There’s a better reason for you referring to me as subhuman. Cool, cool.

Still gonna make those teeth meet concrete but thanks for explaining yourself. 🤣🤣🤣🖕🏾🖕🏾

Helps to be able to spell correctly and use full, grammatically correct sentences to support your racist viewpoints, bud.

Amazing that the subhuman has to be the one to tell you, the superior race phat cat, how to spell 🤣🤣🤣

So you just don’t care and will call someone subhuman even if they have darker skin than you. Got it.

So speaking against genocide is good but calling black folk subhuman because you don’t agree with them is okay by your logic? You’re the one now hurling racial epithets but wanna lecture a black lersin in using the race card?

Do your delusions ever cease, kid? 🤣🤣
