…we’d be nuts to think that simply booting out Donald Trump and voting in Joe Biden will be sufficient to solve our country’s problems. Our divisions and dysfunctions predate our current president. From the Bork nomination fight to Bush-vs.-Gore to the Merrick Garland fiasco and the repeated government shutdowns of recent years, it is obvious that Trump is as much a reflection of our existing problems as he is a creator of new ones.
But his removal is absolutely essential for any kind of progress. Because, as Biden said Monday, he “sows chaos” and is a “toxic presence” who has “forfeited moral leadership.” If anything, those descriptions were understatements. Trump is an unmitigated catastrophe, and all Americans must rouse themselves from their slumbers to vote him out on Nov. 3.
Can’t escape ‘Handmaid’s Tale’ dystopia with Trump at helm
Oh Colin…you deserve so much more than Scarlet could ever give you.
It’s almost enough to make me forget society is falling apart all around us.
Saying Biden’s America will be worse than our current America is like an abusive spouse telling you that you can’t do any better.” ~ Infantry0300 on Twitter
I have issues.
- WHY DO THEY ALWAYS SLICE THEIR PALM TO GET BLOOD? Do you know how many nerve endings are in your hand?!?! Why don’t they ever cut the back of their arm or their leg or something OMFG!
- WHILE WE’RE AT IT, why do people try to cross those skinny bridges over lava/chasms/whatever by walking upright. IT’S CALLED CENTER OF GRAVITY FOR A REASON. Get on your hands and knees and crawl across that thing. HUG IT. SCOOT YOUR BUTT ACROSS. “But i look stupid!” LALALALA. But we’ll avoid that stupidly dramatic moment when you almost fall over and die because your damn fucking self wanted to look COOL
- STOP YANKING IV LINES OUT OF YOUR ARMS THE MINUTE YOU WAKE UP IN THE HOSPITAL! Do you want to fucking bleed to death?!
- That is a broadsword, why are you fencing with it?
- There is a freaking door right there. Stop smashing through windows, damn it!
- Yes, Mr. Action Hero, I am aware that running dramatically from the baddies at breakneck speed is important, but know what else is important? NOT GETTING SHOT. RUN IN A FUCKING ZIGZAG PATTERN ON THE OFF CHANCE THAT THE MOOKS WERE NOT COACHED IN MARKSMANSHIP BY THE IMPERIAL STORMTROOPERS.
- And oh hey, you there…sneaky hero-type breaking into any place for any reason? WEAR SOME FUCKING GLOVES. They’re called fingerprints, dumbass. You have them and you’re putting them all over the fucking place.
- If something really fucking huge is falling on you, don’t FUCKING RUN ALONG THE LENGTH OF THE THING! JUST TAKE LIKE TWO FUCKING STEPS TO THE SIDE, OR BETTER YET, RUN 90 DEGREES TO THE THING!
- And for God’s sake, PUT PRESSURE ON THAT WOUND. DON’T JUST SIT THERE AND IT BLEED OUT. I’m talking to you, TV cops.
“Now cut that out boy, or I’ll spank you where your feathers are thinnest.”
Reminds me of a story.
…only one of them has their natural hair color.
Before the 2016 election, Trump warned that if I voted for Hillary I’d be stuck with a president who’d be under criminal investigation from day one. He was right. I voted for Hillary and sure enough, I’ve been stuck with a president whose been under criminal investigation since day one.
A few images leaked from a teaser trailer for a certain upcoming movie I am very excited to see (and hope that it will be safe enough to return to a theater in time for its debut). Withholding judgment until I see more, because I never found fault with the visual aesthetic of the previous attempt to bring this saga to the big screen, but I do find these images intriguing.
“Put your right hand in the box,” she said.
“What’s in the box?”
“Pain.”
“I hold at your neck the gom jabbar,” she said. “The gom jabbar, the high-handed enemy. It’s a needle with a drop of poison on its tip. Ah-ah! Don’t pull away or you’ll feel that poison.”
The itch became the faintest burning. “Why are you doing this?” he demanded.
“To determine if you’re human. Be silent.”
Dell Quality Control has no fucks left to give. Nine out of ten Latitude 7210s ($1700 machines) we have received arrived like this. Yeah, the display can be snapped back into the housing, but seriously…
What you of the CHOAM directorate seem unable to understand is that you seldom find real loyalties in commerce. When did you last hear of a clerk giving his life for the company? Perhaps your deficiency rests in the false assumption that you can order men to think and cooperate. This has been a failure of everything from religions to general staffs throughout history. General staffs have a long record of destroying their own nations. As to religions, I recommend a rereading of Thomas Aquinas. As to you of CHOAM, what nonsense you believe? Men must want to do things out of their own innermost drives. People, not commercial organizations or chains of command, are what make great civilizations work. Every civilization depends upon the quality of the individuals it produces. If you over-organize humans, over-legalize them, suppress their urge to greatness—they cannot work and their civilization collapses.” ~ Attributed to The Preacher, DUNE MESSIAH
