I agree people should be aware of hazards in their lives, but endless warning signs just become a blur and are not even seen.

They don’t have Nobel Prizes for shitting your pants.

The only qualification Trump wanted of Hegseth for the job was a willingness to use the American military against American citizens on American soil. Hegseth wrote a book advocating for this.

You can make a little sign with whatever super important issue on it that you like. People did that. People understood that “No Kings” includes all the issues that come with being a king -or dictator.

But the most important thing people did was show the fuck up.

Just like with voting, a protest doesn’t do anything unless people show the fuck up.

And just like with voting, there are loud, persistent voices online that bemoan doing anything at all because it just isn’t perfect enough for them.

And you know what? It will never be perfect enough for those people. The real reason they complain is not about the level of perfection in the “messaging”. It’s that they are lazy shits. Or lazy shills.

Hangs out with..? You mean engaged with on a podcast such that MAGA spazzes who like those guys might actually hear from Newsom things they’d never hear on Fox.

I just want to take a moment to say the “Biden was no better than Trump” crowd can go fuck themselves.

Yeah, you go all the way to the left and suddenly you’re on the right in various attitudes. The fringe is always cringe. And I’m not being “centrist”.. I consider myself left liberal but I try to NOT be a hateful condescending asshole to those who don’t fit stringent standards…. I invite all of you to look beyond boilerplate platitudes when addressing something and to consider that understanding others is better than simply doubling down on what your little clique says. I patiently await Hexbear’s sputtering angry reply…

The shit attitudes of old people, that a bunch of you loathe, start decades beforehand. For example, separating people by age or “generation” and then shitting on them for it…

True hardcore Christians really have a problem with woo woo spiritual nonsense like some aspects of the wellness movement. They are looking the other way about this concerning the new surgeon general nominee because everything Trump is good to them. But some of you reading this might have relatives that, with gentle prodding, will become uncomfortable with “MAHA”, given the faux spiritual leanings. This can be your “in” to get them questioning the whole Trump thing.

Do you think this “genocide” would have kicked off without the Hamas attack?

Congress wouldn’t let him. The President doesn’t write the laws and can only ask Congress to do so.
