  • Braindead take of the day.

    Trump plans to wield the DOJ as a weapon.

    You want to give custody of the former president's son to Trump's DOJ?

    It'll be another perfect phone call.

    "Hey, Joe, we have your son..."

    This has fuck all to do with the merits of the case or the interests of justice. This is a national security move.

    It would be a reckless dereliction of loyalty to the country for Biden not to issue this pardon, given what it very likely to come.

  • You've lost sight of why Biden pardoned Hunter. It had nothing at all to do with the merits of case of the interests of criminal justice. It had to do with preserving the institutions of democracy for the immediate years to come.

    You can't "both sides" this one.

  • It's a national security risk to give custody of the former president's son to Donald Trump.

    The idea right now is to give Trump less avenues of control over institutions of democracy, and that includes a former law abiding president, his pulpit, and his classified knowledge.

    Can you see that?

  • I just made a post commenting that it's a national security risk to have a former president's family member incarcerated or under prosecution by the DoJ as Trump is planning to run it. He flat out said he's planning to use the DoJ to incarcerate political rivals.

    It's like

    "Hey, Joe, we have your son. You need to tell me / support me / help me with [undermining institutions of democracy and our allies], or else."

  • With criminal Trump, having as he does zero respect for laws and legal norms, taking over the DOJ, and literally saying he is going to incarcerate his political enemies, it would be a national security risk for the former president's family to be in federal custody or facing serious federal charges.

  • Scream in their face "you don't even fucking know me!"

  • Some of my best and closest friends were former colleagues, men and women. Just happened naturally. Other coworkers were very close during the work, but then drifted apart immediately when the work ended for whatever reason.

    But, don't have a candy dish, don't be too inviting, don't be known as someone who listens to gossip. That's an important boundary to set.

    Misery loves company. If anyone reading this has a "friendship" with a coworker based solely on bitching about the job or other coworkers, it's a liability not a friendship.

  • Wish granted. You must purchase and carry an external satellite receiver and upgrade the internal battery with an also external lead-acid battery with fan-cooled inverter. 🪄

  • It would be a TI-83 calculator with a built in walkie talkie. 2.7 ghz.

  • Is this that new camera hack where the led turns off? Jk I don't smoke.

  • Everyone, and I think probably especially intellectual people, questions their sexuality (am I attracted to the opposite gender in some way?) and at least their gender expression (am I masculine / feminine enough?) to some extent. It's no different for a lot of people I think than imposter syndrome and can be tied to a lack of self confidence.

    Everyone is also capable of fantasizing about, basically, whatever, and enjoying it, without the fantasy or enjoyment having to mean anything about how they feel about themselves or how others will feel about them.

    Also, sexual preference, as kinks and fetishes, develop and change in men at least until some surprising age, like, into your 50s. Like you could live your entire life identifying and living as a one thing and by fifty-five be identifying as something else. I think, and I'm not sure yet, be that's just life. Most people who don't live in a safe space bubble and don't leave their home town or school aged friend group have to reinvent themselves multiple times in life.

    Also also, sexual pleasure and gratification is a full body and mind experience and it's possible that different partners stimulate and gratify different parts of that experience, even different encounters with the same partners. And none of that has to be carried around with you as if it changes anything about who you are or how you should be treated.

    And lastly, it's fine to treat this person and anyone else in a positive and fun way for both of you. It could be that this person expresses themselves femininely and so your instinct is to be a little different, whether that's with more compassion and tenderness and even flirty, and I would say confusion is probably a very healthy and intelligent, internal reflex to something like this that is new to you.

    And finally, anyone that says the Roman Empire collapsed because of all the fucking without making babies is a right cunt. If society collapses because of who any of us are fucking then... it was coming either way.

    Edit to make sure someone catches that joke, which may be one of the best I've written.

  • I'm woke as fuck because I support the Constitution and civil rights. Fuck me, right?

  • I think antifa is best described as a strategy to cope with fascist creep.

  • They're like stupid children with bad parents. But they are whole ass adults.

    It's so pathetic.

  • That sucks. I wouldn't go.

  • Russia's attacks on our democracy were worse for America than Vietnam and 9/11 combined.

  • Hilarious photo.

  • Take care of yourself first. Can't do anything if you're on the ropes.

    Then, it is every liberal's duty to become a lawful firearms owner. I can't believe I'm saying this. If you only knew me. Wednesday after the election I spent the day crying. Thursday, I signed up for gun class.

    I used to think America was a pretty safe country. I watched the violent crime rate drop since the '80s. It was mathematically clear that having guns in the home was way more dangerous than not. But then I saw these fuck sticks with their tiki torches. Then I saw that guy drive his car through the crowd. And now they won, again?

    Republicans today are way more dangerous than any street gang I've ever heard of.

  • The election isn't decided by an individual. Wtf are you talking about.
