Artist, musical performer, and former derby skater from the Midwest.

I'm single, childless, and married to freedom and adventure.

ACAB, Anti-War, and I hate Democrats, Republicans, and billionaires. (Yes, even your favorite billionaire: the pop star, the philanthropost, the legendary athlete, or the soft-spoken investment guru who cosplays as middle class.) With each passing day I get a little closer to hating everyone.

Also, I refuse to use Donald's last name out of hatred for the man and his brand, FYI.

  • The Firefighters didn't endorse anyone. Now they have a dumpster fire in the White House.

  • This is what Democrats don't get.

    Tens of millions of Americans are working 2-3 jobs at 80-100 hours a week for the privilege of starving and keeping a roach-infested roof over their head.

    They are already living in fascism, and Democrats seem even more out of touch because they just ignore it and profit themselves.

  • You don't consider it sociopathic to look at poor people tell them: "Have you just tried being happy?" That was Democrats' entire message for months of the campaign.

  • Well... my wallet is certainly hurting after the latest $0 price increase on my $0 Mastodon subscription.

    (kidding, in fact, I actually donate monthly to my instance.)

  • It's simple.

    The Democrats shouldn't have wasted a year of campaign time running a cognitively-impaired man and then replaced him with a milquetoast candidate who wasted three months telling poor people, many of whom are full-time, gainfully employed firefighters, to be joyful about the fact that they can't pay for groceries.

    Dems need to stop blaming the voters, do some introspection, and admit to themselves that they're no better. That's especially true when it comes to the poor and working class.

  • ‘Missing’ GOP congresswoman not seen for six months finally found living at dementia care home

  • It's not even criticism, really.

    It's just an observation, no different than looking up and saying the sky is blue.

    Truthfully, though, this is a criticism of both parties. Trump is clearly brain-damaged too, and he showed is several times during the campaign. The difference is he's still able to behave as expected, more-or-less, where Biden is not.

  • TBH, me neither.

    Gotta love that a functioning brain is no longer a requirement to be president.

  • Don't get mad at me. I'm not the one who fielded a brain-damaged presidential candidate.

  • Always best to discuss ground rules ahead of time

    Solid meme.

  • Sometimes. It's an intriguing idea, but do I believe it?

    No. To me it seems more reasonable that the universe is infinite and our planet is one of the rare successes where all of the variables came together precisely to create life. I'm certain there are others out there, but also so rare and remote that we'll almost certainly never become aware of one another.

  • My favorite thing about social media is people who argue for no good reason other than to entertain themselves.

  • NGL, I was choked up in my car when I was lined up for my very first COVID jab.

    Honestly thought it was over, and the events since have informed much of my cynicism about our species.

  • His Family Voted to Support Trump’s Deportation Plan. That Includes Him.

  • Educated or no, doesn't take a rocket scientist for a blue collar worker to look at their grocery bills and see that they tripled, or to figure out that they can't afford to see a doctor or send their kid to college.

  • You know what's ironic?

    Dems did this exact same shit in 2016. They learned nothing. They're still beating the Clintonite drum of praying that money from the rich will buy them enough name recognition to overcome the fact that they've ignored the descent into poverty that millions of their voters faced over the last four years. The same was true in 2016 when Hillary was running as an extension of Obama, and they just ignored that Obama presided over a foreclosure crisis.

    And, from what you can see on this thread, apparently their plan is to just double down and lose some more.

  • Absolutely.

    Here in America it's common practice for political candidates to loan their campaigns money at 20% interest and just pocket their contributors' donations, and it's legal. It's also legal for legislators to insider-trade on investments using the classified information they learn as part of their positions. On top of all that, you have the widespread bribery workaround that Trump loves: people buying your books or staying at your hotels en masse, and overpaying, so that when they call you with a favor they get exactly what they want.

    Democrats and Republicans both enjoy these privileges, and have even sued up to SCOTUS to keep them.
