Why are you wishing covid upon someone who just agreed with you?

I just waited to vote in a 45-minute line wrapped around the outside of a library in ATL in 45 degree weather to make sure she does. With certainty I assume everyone else was there for the same. 🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

We saw the same thing recently with girls who ran away to join Isis. 

What I struggle with the most is the ‘So what’ element of the story. To give an example, they ran an article like this about a paramedic who, it was revealed, was thoroughly addicted to drugs. Now, the NY Post would still be trash in doing such a salacious report on that person, but at least there would be this…

Funny how the veteran FDNY paramedic got to remain anonymous in the article. Good for him.

Hm. Let’s look at the reasons people join forces with the Republican party: Racism, selfishness, Jesus and classic grifting. So...

I hope so. Then those thugs will start off’ing them and the cowardly politicians will wet their pants and call in the National Guard. I’ll be sitting here eating popcorn and watching all the fallout.

It is, unfortunately, and old game that they are playing. Have your minions disrupt law and order, then come in as the restorer of law and order. We humans as a whole tend to fall for it, and have been doing so for thousands of years. The fact that 7 million people voted for just that shows we have a long way to go.

It’s like thinking a key to the city actually unlocks the city.

This is my hope.

But... but... I thought committing property damage was bad? And that that was the *real* crime? And that that’s the reason for everything being a “riot” and not a “protest”? 

So does Proud Boys.

Oh no, does this dumb idiot think an honorary degree is the same thing as an actual Ph.D.? 

Another person whose motivations I don’t get, is the leader of the Proud Boys. A Mr. “Enrique Tarrio”.  I....wha....huh?!?!?  I mean, does somebody want to tell him?

It’s telling that they call themselves “boys” and not “men”. 

Vivienne Westwood was born a gaping asshole, has lived as a gaping asshole, and will die a gaping asshole. I small part of me dies every time I am forced to remember that she is one hell of designer.

This is why “demilitarize the police” is my preferred slogan. Also “fund social services so the police can do their actual fucking job” is too long. 

That’s why I giggle with “I am RED AND MAD AS HELL!!! I am going to MOVE out this LIBERAL HELLSCAPE” types. They may be Trump’s No 1 fans, they may bitch about taxes and “those people” and other bullshit, but they sure as fuck don’t *really* want to leave the amenities that come with those evil blue areas. They want…

Technically bring it back to what it was pre 9/11 levels when they decided police were another branch of the military (something that was explicitly the antithesis of the policing model Americans initially tried to follow).

I really hate that it’s gotten labeled “defund the police”. I understand that what the actual aim is, isn’t as snappy. If somebody who was particularly good at marketing was able to jump the gun on this at the beginning then that would have been awesome (this would have not been me). But now it has become what global…
