Can’t imagine why no one trusts the guy who said they prayed to god it wasn’t one of ‘us’ when he now says the shooter wasn’t one of ‘us.’

Unions endorsing billionaire vulture capitalists. What a time to be alive.

Oh wow, I had no idea that was the case. That is really wild.

True; when I was growing up it was a quarter of the size it is now. Wild how much it’s grown.

Dude has a username of stormbringer, is trying to deflect for the Nat-C’s and has a comment history of nothing but removed by mod. Gonna go head and block that guy and move on haha.

As someone who can still remember watching the second plane hit on live tv, I honestly don’t even notice September 11 until I see a post with the towers in it. I’m sure others have far more visceral reactions still, but I’ve now had enough co-workers that were born after it happened that I see it as a thing that happened in the past that has no real relation to today (outside of the ramifications of the Patriot act). Having the EPA post about a private citizen is weird though.

Hilarious, only issue is towards the end with the girl who was born in Charlotte. No one who was born there stays there. The whole city is transplants. Or at least that’s my view of it as one of the many people who lived there until 18 and bailed twenty years ago.

Yep, that tweet was all I needed to see from anyone to prove what his ideologies were. Like a Bansheeit in the night she’ll screech which way the shit wind blows.

Damn, Moves the left hand then looks at the right not move. For a narcissist, trapped in your own body may just be the worst thing.

Was it? Gavin had him on his podcast, I don’t think this was a dig. And while the lemmy jokes may be funny, I wouldn’t want any politician making light of any shooting. He should have just said nothing.

Wasn’t it Ruby (or sapphire) back in the day? Might’ve just been the cartoon but I think they had that in there at some point. It’s such a weird power that at I think writers just go with whatever they can to carry the story forward.

The works of the roots of the vines, of the trees, must be destroyed to keep up the price, and this is the saddest, bitterest thing of all. Carloads of oranges dumped on the ground. The people came for miles to take the fruit, but this could not be. How would they buy oranges at twenty cents a dozen if they could drive out and pick them up? And men with hoses squirt kerosene on the oranges, and they are angry at the crime, angry at the people who have come to take the fruit. A million people hungry, needing the fruit- and kerosene sprayed over the golden mountains. And the smell of rot fills the country. Burn coffee for fuel in the ships. Burn corn to keep warm, it makes a hot fire. Dump potatoes in the rivers and place guards along the banks to keep the hungry people from fishing them out. Slaughter the pigs and bury them, and let the putrescence drip down into the earth.

There is a crime here that goes beyond denunciation. There is a sorrow here that weeping cannot symbolize. There is a failure here that topples all our success. The fertile earth, the straight tree rows, the sturdy trunks, and the ripe fruit. And children dying of pellagra must die because a profit cannot be taken from an orange. And coroners must fill in the certificate- died of malnutrition- because the food must rot, must be forced to rot. The people come with nets to fish for potatoes in the river, and the guards hold them back; they come in rattling cars to get the dumped oranges, but the kerosene is sprayed. And they stand still and watch the potatoes float by, listen to the screaming pigs being killed in a ditch and covered with quick-lime, watch the mountains of oranges slop down to a putrefying ooze; and in the eyes of the people there is the failure; and in the eyes of the hungry there is a growing wrath. In the souls of the people the grapes of wrath are filling and growing heavy, growing heavy for the vintage.

Cuomo did get an endorsement from Bill Clinton though.

Alternate headline: Nancy Mace manages to direct the focus away from Epstein’s survivors to herself.

He’s been a no-show for the regular gig for years as well.

Not one piece of information released was not already released. They don’t fucking care and won’t stop supporting him over this. If there were any evidence of wrongdoing by Trunp in those files, then the republicans would not be releasing them. Representative Luna even spilled the beans when she tweeted that with this release they will avoid having the vote on obtaining other materials. It’s all a con job.

If you can to one single piece of information that is released in these 33,000 pages that is new, I would love to see it. If anything, the release of these files is going to get the republicans to say ‘see no Trump, but here is a flight log with Bill Clinton on it.’ Like we didn’t already fucking know.

This entire charade is obvious, and is designed to get the ‘surely this time there will be consequences’ crowd to think they are making progress, which they are not.

We, unprovoked, dropped bombs on a civilian craft in international waters yesterday, killing 11.

Oh look, the actual distraction, posted like 30 times as well. We committed a war crime in international waters yesterday.

Nothing like doing a little war crime and then saying, ‘these drugs were probably headed to…’

But they caved, isn’t that how you deal with a bully? Show them you’re no threat and roll over? It’s worked so well for all the others still being extorted.
