Mussolini tried banning pasta and he ended up hanging from a lamppost. You want to stop Americans from eating Cheez-Its and Capt Crunch? Good luck with that.

Jesus Fucking Christ.
I just went to spy on Facebook. I was wondering about the political reaction to the election. New flash, they were talking about anything but. I was apologetic. How the fuck are you not worried about this?!
Then I realized, they aren’t talking about that. This isn’t top of mind. They’re not worried about it. It’s business as usual.
You can argue that they’re self decieved, or, you might decide that they’ve found an oasis from the darkness.
Funny shit, I’ll admit.

If you watch professional comedians or people with television experience, they’re practically yelling into the microphone. They are projecting their voice.
The only way I could do it, which is what I did, was to have a guest host that I could talk to. I can talk for hours on end if I have someone to bounce it off of, but that required scheduling. What I wanted to do was just ramble on my own but I seem incapable of that. 3/

I know it doesn’t make any difference, but I’m dying to know why that Sheriff killed that Judge. They’d just had lunch prior to the shooting, with several other people, where the judge said to the sheriff, “Do we need to meet in private in my chambers?”
There’s no way they don’t know why he did it, so why is it being kept secret? #Crime

1. You have to be funny.
2. You have to be a writer.
3. You have to have to be a little angry.
I have no interest in getting together or being productive in any way. I just want to commiserate in funny ways about all the many things that annoy the ever-loving shit out of us. We can call it mental health if that makes you feel better.
If all goes well, I’ll abandon everyone soon after we begin.

“Rarely, if ever, has a presidential campaign collapsed from seeming assurance into utter chaos as Trump-Vance has. The campaign seems to have stumbled into a strange unintended message: “Let’s go to war with Taylor Swift to stop Haitians from eating dogs.” The VP candidate wants to raise tariffs on toasters and worries that with Roe v. Wade overturned, George Soros may every day fill a 747 airliner with abortion-seeking pregnant Black women.”

I realize logic is irrelevant here but protesting the DNC over Gaza when Biden isn’t running is pretty dumb. Harris isn’t Biden.
I’m guessing that the protesters just want the spotlight, but keep in mind the Democrats are your only hope. If Trump gets back in we won’t have to be worried about Gaza anymore. We’ll be worried about ourselves. Trump wants to turn the military on protestors. How ya like them apples?

I can’t believe anyone is defending Raygun, the Australian “breakdancer.” That was the most offensive display of nonsense I’ve ever seen. We don’t force countries to compete you know. If they didn’t have anyone better they should have just passed.

This is indicative of the rot that the Olympics have become. Also, breakdancing is like 40 years too late and is not a sport. What about ballet? Ballroom? Tap? Why not a singing competition?

Might as well start imagining the bullshit accusations the MAGAts will make. Get everyone used to their nonsense.
I’ll give you a few that I think will come up:
1. Harris is antisemitic.
Of course she’s married to a nice Jewish fellow, but that won’t stop them.
2. Harris is stupid.
This is just one of those racist/sexist tropes they love. Plus they project whatever they’re insecure about, namely that Trump is a stone cold moron.
3. Harris is a radical.
Everyone is a radical to fascists.

I’ll admit, he stood up for what he believed in and it cost him his job. But what does he have to be proud of? Explain the true conservative appeal? Small government so it doesn’t have to pay to help anyone? Hawkish foreign policy? Unbridled capitalism? LGBT hate? White God?
If that’s what you’re proud of, I’m not sure that’s the endorsement you think it is.

I’ve been involved in marketing since I was 19. There’s really not much difference these days between marketing and journalism. The media just makes shit up and calls it news. Those are opinions, not facts.

@npub1xs0…g0u7 Its a PDF. Could you be more specific?

How many of you have actually taken the time to read the GOP’s plan for America? Not an article about it. Not a YouTube video. Actually read the thing.

What do you want to bet that life expectancy plummets in the next few decades in America? There’s no way this level of stress is healthy. You can feel yourself losing a week every other day.

@npub1dl7…yyuj Not really sure what that means.

I’m so sick of hearing people who don’t know what they’re talking about babble on about third parties in America. Beyond what they talk about here, which is just the science and history of it. From a behavioral psychology standpoint, it’s dumb.

When are we supposed to get another COVID booster? I’ve lost track. I think I last got one this past fall, between Halloween and Thanksgiving. I read they only last 3-4 months. We’re not supposed to be getting another shot every 3-4 months are we? That seems ridiculous.
I guess we’re all just on our own now. #covid #vaccine

Would you like to join the ministry and fight the fascists?

We are creating a new Ministry of Ungentlemanly Warfare and are currently seeking volunteers to fight the fascists. Currently looking for saboteurs to join the ministry. The search is for those with backgrounds in behavioral psychology, sociology, marketing, theater, storytelling, computer science, info-sec, and the creative arts.
Don’t worry. We won’t be breaking any laws.

@npub1dfp…zhud That’s too small and too pedestrian. (No offense). We can do better.

Get your shit together. You’ve been complacent long enough. It’s time to do something.

No one panicks like a liberal. Calm the fuck down you miserable twats. It ain’t over till the fat lady sings.

The world’s blood pressure just went up like 30pts, or however that works. It never makes sense to me. You feel that tightness in your head? Yeah. That’s it. Heart rate elevated. Cold sweat.
Fight or flight motherfuckers.

I can’t even bother to listen to the broadcasters. I hate television news. Just get to the stupidity.

Just once I want to see someone in a debate cut out the “thanks for the opportunity” bullshit at the top and just jump the fuck in. We don’t need a goddamn preamble.

First, the thing doesn’t start until 9pm. I’d be mainlining caffeine myself. Second, a half dozen diet cokes for Trump doesn’t count as a stimulant? Not to mention the Adderall.

How the proliferation of options in modern life has elevated our expectations and destroyed our confidence.
