The strawman is that the dems couldn't find anyone to run on UBI and progressive values other than a documented antisemite.

Just like they had to run a cop against Trump. LOL, and then conflate reasons people aren't for these candidates.

I couldn't be more happy that Cheney is dead. Say hi to Charlie Kirk in hell, and fuck both of you pieces of shit.

Here's the problem. The left could have found someone to run for mayor who supported UBI and progressive values who WASN'T antisemitic. Just like we could have run someone other than a cop against Trump.

But then the disingenuous conflating happens, and they never learn.

And when a private party pays your salaries, that makes you mercenaries--NOT soldiers.

Hey U.S. military members: "I was only following orders" didn't work at Nuremberg.

I have always viewed it as a resource issue. They are brainwashed. Regan deregulated media, allowing national ownership instead of small markets. And owning publishing and radio and TV. Billions have been spent to condition them. We lack the resources to undo 3-4 decades of conditioning in time.

It will not go how they want. But war is always the darkest timeline. I hate magats but would rather all of my neighbors were maga that we found a way to coexist than to have war.

But I do believe they are determined, and that I don't see any good options left. I want to be wrong--so badly.

I support any feasible peaceful means. But being honest, I believe they have all been exhausted. At this point I'm looking to what we need from a New Union.

I hope I am wrong. Deeply hope and will celebrate being wrong.

Virtually all modern democracies are proportional representation, with coalition governments. Nobody does the failed two party system.

Nothing is perfect but coalition governing is far superior to our shit system.

I only want to hear that in the New Republic we will have proportional representation and ouucly funded elections with no citizens united.

Two party system captured by capitalists burned our republic to the ground.

An illegal decision that violates the law and also foundations of our republic.

Power of the purse resides exclusively with our shit legislature. Their abdication of duty is another crime, not an authorization to upset separation of powers.

Welch: "This has nothing to do with the shutdown. The law requires and the funds are available to continue SNAP right now without any interruption. So that is a decision the president is making on his own to allow people to go hungry."

Even by Clinton's time the capitalists had captured the Dem party and made it fiscally identical to the GOP. I remember Clinton's cuts and attacks on welfare and worse.

Carter came to town telling Americans that the government was the enemy just like Regan. Aggrieved farmer angry at the government.

They haven't even seen the start of consequences, wait until the Nuremberg 2.0 trials. And that goes dornfikthy magats too, all thebibtwrnet social media will let us objectively determine who was a brown shirt. And we will not go easy on them.

I've got bad news if you hate organizations that run international pedophile rings and have never really addressed the issue or been held accountable, much less compensated victims.

Don't really care about their king.

It’s more than just bad priorities. It’s about lack of basic decency.

A tweet from BrooklynDad_Defiant! says: “No words. If you think a golden ballroom is more important than childhood cancer research... I have nothing left to say to you.” The image shows an illustration of a bald child in a hospital gown, holding an IV pole and looking into an opulent golden ballroom filled with formally dressed adults.

You're identifying this issue, while there are troops in the streets of American cities, in violation of the Posse Comitatus act and other laws. People are being dissapeared, shot, beaten. The justice department is weaponized against political enemies, and so on.

It's a civil war guy.

The Nazis have successfully eliminated credible sourced information in America. It's one of the reasons civil war is inevitable.

Freedom of speech doesn't cover hate speech, calls to violence, sedition, etc. Absolute freedom of speech SUCKERS are the vanguard of the tolerance paradox that got us here in the first place.

Almost all gilded age political cartoons and satire is 1:1 applicable today. The nation has been fully captured by the capitalists and foreign powers.

If you only arm yourself with a single weapon, I highly recommend a compact concealed carry pistol.

The assumption that you're an unarmed "libtard" is your best defense.

Remeber thay your only goal is to get away, on your own. Even trained soldiers and LEOs only hit their target ~17% of the time.

I don't think people remotely understand what it means to deploy a carrier group to the Caribbean. Of our 11 carriers only 1/4 are ever on or ready for deployment. The rest are dry-dock, prep, etc.

This means 1/4 of our greatest means if projecting power is wasted on a PR stunt.
