For any Democrat thinking of running for office in the next few years:

I'm now officially a single issue voter.

Retribution.

That's it.

The alternate (King Albert Yankovic) version translates the final line differently:

"Even Ezekiel thinks that my mind is gone."

What's your favourite Bible verse? (Wrong answers only)

"As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I take a look at my life, and realize there's nothin' left. 'Cause I've been blastin' and laughin' so long that even my momma thinks that my mind is gone."

"Imagine if I made 'vroom vroom' noises with my mouth and put my arms out to my sides because then I'd be an airplane. That's something the FAA needs to pay attention to."

"Everyone is replaceable."

So are their quite flammable warehouses and inventory, if we're being absolutist here...

These pinch me somewhere very uncomfortable. 'Dudebro history' at its finest!

A functioning editorial board would issue a postop and carefully pull Fischer from future predictive pieces.

Happy U.S. National Day of Abject Humiliation for Racist Fuckfaces, where we dress up in a sparkly gown as fmr. Colonel Bobby Lee (in drag, of course) at Appomattox and crawl on our knees towards the nearest U.S. flag, crying big 'ol Erica Kirk tears the entire time!

Oh, and they've all taken a solemn vow that as they kneel to lick boots, they're going to make a face. Not a big show or anything, nothing mean, just a little scrunchy to express their mild discomfort.

Fight on!

Oh, small post-script. Elected officials at any level, state or federal, who switch parties after election, must within 90 days stand for a special election, and cannot caucus or vote until such time.

Also visible are the sandstorms coming off the Libyan coast turning Crete orange right now (9 o'clock position on the globe here, facing north)

:)

NW Africa here; Spain is peeking in from the far left of the image!

Passion makes footprints, and if you're lucky enough to follow in them, you trudge on and thank the trailblazers. Props to Kat and others who have helped kick over a few barriers, even if they didn't get through themselves.

The U.S. is being remade in the likeness of its absolute worst demographic: the pale, privileged, bullying, numbly-incurious, petty, vindictive, greedy, self-centered, braying little shit-stain who either got stomped one too many times at school, or didn't get stomped quite enough.

Not sure about wellness resources outside of US, but the ones here need some serious work.

And now they're going to allow every E-2 in maintenance and intel shops and the base chow hall and MWR offices to bring personally-owned firearms onto base? Fun times.

Oh, and if you're a vet who needs help, never call Military One Source. Ever.

Military One Source alerted base cops to me after I had a 30 minute run-around call trying to find local resources for mental health issues after a deployment - in which I truthfully answered that yes, I owned, but did not have current access to, a firearm (aka, I was on base, and it was at home).

*Bribed, damnit.

Finally, the military budget cut in half, remainder divided between NASA, EPA, USAID, education, NEA, & NSF.

Voting is compulsory, with fines for non-compliance. Civic education is compulsory part of primary school, as is a robust liberal arts curriculum for ALL degree programs.

Unvaccinated children removed from parents. Federal offense for refusing shots/masks during a pandemic. Full stop.

Private ownership of antiquities outlawed. As Indy says, "It belongs in a museum!". Exceptions for 2-3 generation direct descendants, case-by-case. Ruinous fines for social media algorithms that promote addictive behaviors, spam, outrage-farming, etc. No mass surveillance/flock cams.

Knowingly giving a false public statement as a LEO, any government official, or news/entertainment venues which are not clearly, obviously parody shows carries a mandatory prison term of 2 years, and 10% of all properties/wealth forfeited. This penalty doubles each incident.

Anyone who says "I asked AI" who is neither a stand-up comedian or severely impaired, can be publicly humiliated without consequence for no less than 1 year, to include being pantsed, squirted with deer urine, forced to walk barefoot through Tampa at night, & being laughed out of all public spaces.

On that note, editorial staff have final say in all content matters. Universities who bent the knee disbanded and holdings/proceeds used for free state colleges. Same with law firms and other companies. National Punch a Nazi/Racist/Misogynist Day made a federal holiday, like the purge but for jerks.

All Trump donors forced to donate x2 amount they bried him (for pardons, ballroom shit, 'inauguration fund', etc. to Epstein victims and ICE victims (including those who died in custody or after being abandoned in the snow). News media of all sorts owned by collectives, not individuals.

Deport entire current cabinet and wealthiest 3% of 'trifecta' voters ('16, '20, and '24) to a conflict zone. Repeat the 'trifecta' voter deportation as needed. Deport RW podcasters and 'influencers' too. Why not? Apparently deportation is purely an executive branch decision. Sue us.

End all tax loopholes. End corporate ownership & artificial scarcity of housing/apartments. Single-payer medical coverage for all. Massive crypto regulation/criminalization. LE budgets reduced 70% or more, across the board. No militarization of LE. Higher (or any) ethical standards for LEOs.

Hospitals return to status as public service industry (look it up). Insurance industry does the same. End Right to Work. Mandate 3 months' severance for all jobs. No stock buy backs. No layoffs when the company shows a Q profit of +5%. Layoffs may then only begin after CEO/board salary zeroed out.

Trump's grave becomes a tiny national park, lots of water bottles handed out for visitors who want to honor him with some warm liquid gratitude. UBI nationwide, paid for by billionaires, AI, and sports betting, which is nationalized like state lotteries. News becomes public service industry.

Full gutting of ICE and CBP. Strict ban on Executive/Judicial/Legislative stock ownership; publicly-available 401k only. Predictive betting outlawed. Vaping outlawed (not really kidding). Abortion enshrined in Constitution. An * placed over 45 and 47 in history books, citation: Putin.
