  • She is absolutely gorgeous.

  • Well, it's not too late yet, anyway - but we're damned close.

  • Not really?

  • Okay, buddy. As you wish. You'll surely defeat the fascists with that go get 'em attitude.

  • Nah, dude. Do it half-assed and it's not good enough. You can do whatever you want, but if you want change, anything less will be defeated.

    You can't protest from the comfort of your living room.

  • Mobilization is easy. We need to ORGANIZE.

    I'm repeating myself from above, but here's what we need to do when we gather:

    • Get names and contact info from 10 people at the event
    • Plan when and where to meet again.
    • Ask these people to do the same
    • Decide on how to be more disruptive and make more noise! We need to shake things up.
    • Cute and clever signs mean nothing if it doesn't get attention. We need to speak TO the power. We need to upset them DIRECTLY.

    The only thing the powerful can hear is the noise made in their pocketbooks.

  • On a weekend when we're not disrupting anything. The defacto complaint is, "I can't take time off work." Sorry for the inconvenience. Then the next most common excuse is, "Nobody shows up during weekday protests." Well, shit. Sorry for your democracy. See you next time we put up clever signs on a Saturday.

    We need to organize.

    • Cute and clever signs don’t mean shit if the establishment doesn’t read them. Make decisions that affect their profits.

    Organization is hard. Mobilization is easy.

    Kwame Ture convinced King to include Vietnam in his stance against the government when most people said that it would be a mistake. Ture marched with King. He helped organize the Million and More March on DC. He was an authority on protest and civil disobedience... but I think it's time to be uncivil.

    Edit: Downvoting because this upsets you? Good. You're part of the problem. WE NEED TO FIGHT. You can stay home if you're clutching your pearls.

  • She's so pretty. That fur, though... my apartment floors would be soft.

  • Good job, Detective Clouseau.

  • District Attorneys work for cops and for the interest of the government. They're worse than cops... They empower, protect, and exonerate cops.

    This isn't a right wing smear, it's a reality check for libs still clutching their pearls over their shitty candidate.

  • Hillary and Kamala were awful candidates - they wouldn't have won if they were men or if it were the first coming of Christ. (I'm skeptical he ever arrived at all). The DNC is the blame for their failure. Hillary was out of touch. Kamala had too many issues to list.

    All that aside, they would have presidented circles around Trump.

  • She ran with Progressive planks, but she was a DA. She's a cop. Cops aren't progressive.

  • Yeah, but I didn't use it. Go ahead and do it if it is so bothersome.

  • meh. I just threw it together in GIMP real fast.

  • Read the link, not the title post

  • None that this refers to, since the title doesn't match the link. The link is about the Declaration of Independence.

  • The Declaration of Independence is not the Constitution.

    Yes, he violated the Constitution, but that's not what this is about. The two documents are not associated, and the Declaration is not legally binding document.

    It was a list of grievances and justification for rebellion against the crown and King George.

  • Best All-Time.
