    If the Federal Government is shutdown all of the secret service agents should be sent home. I bet Mike Johnson would end the shutdown really quickly if he and trump couldn’t party while everyone else is struggling to feed their kids

    Was at a bar watching NFL with the bros when they kept showing his fucking face.

    We tried to ignore it at first but they just kept showing it.

    We started loudly booing. At one point I shouted “WHY AM I BEING FORCED TO STARE AT A FELON RAPIST JUST TO WATCH FOOTBALL?”

    This bar is in California, but I guarantee some conservatives were there. Too bad. They’re filth and are putting felons and rapists on television during football games. I don’t give a fuck if it hurts their feeling for me to say this shit in a public space. Decorum goes out the window when you’re forcing sports fans to sit and listen to a convicted felon, adjudicated rapist, and insurrectionist.

    The NFL is getting pretty fucking gross. Just in the last few weeks they’ve put a felon rapist on the air, one of their ex-quarterbacks stabbed an old man, and a new player ran from the cops and then blew his brains out.

    The fuck is going on with that organization?

    It’s sort of amusing that the profound psychological issues that make him the most corrupt POTUS in history, the most self-absorbed POTUS in history, the most dishonest POTUS in history and the most deranged POTUS in history also make him the most tone-deaf POTUS in history.

      We better hurry up and do something about it because history is written by the winners

        History is only written by the winners when the winners benefit their civilization.

        When, as has consistently happened in the latter days of past civilizations and as will be the case if Trump and the oligarchs and their fascist tools win, the winners solely benefit themselves and thus ultimately destroy their civilization, history is written by third parties.

            … Because China is working to benefit their civilization. When that ceases to be the case their people will stop listening.

                The CCP is guilty of some absolutely heinous things but high-level they do a lot of building and investing. It’s a lot of headline stuff but it’s better than what the US is doing. The US can’t even build public transit within most of its major cities and each state is constantly fighting with the other ones. The people in charge enrich themselves not quietly but as loud as possible.

                China sucks, but they do have at least a small point.
