Get your 2024 election bingo cards early, guys and gals. It’s gonna be a wild ride
Speaking of going broke and losing his businesses
Show me a “president” who is hard up for cash and I’ll show you a foreign asset that is a threat to national security
Techbros are business majors with a hardon for Elon Musk and fascist futurism.

Posted for the beauty and eloquence of this comment:
In my understanding it takes four justices' votes to hear an appeal.
Alito and Thomas for sure. That means (at least) two out of the three other Federalist Society colleagues -- Barrett, Gorsuch, and Kavanaugh, abandoned the Constitution as well.
A truly shameful day.
There's a comment on this post going around about "oh what if the the bully had a cute gay romance and changed his ways and tried to kill Reagan!" which is just so dumb and I think misses the bigger point
This guy very much still exists. He's as common as ever. Conservatives live in this fantasy world where they send their kids to school where its a nonstop Pride celebration and everyone lovebombs your kid untill they turn trans from peer pressure but that's entirely fake.
If you actually get into the weeds of youtuh culture and memes and all that, the kids are exactly as racist, sexist, and homophobic as they've always been. Yeah they may call ur kid "speshul," "regarded," and "zesty 💅" instead of the hateful slang from out era, but its all the same shit! Kids today aren't magic, accepting, and progressive. They're as bullying and awful as ever.
And this fucking dude on twitter is fantasizing about making children suffer which is more surreal bc the kids are already suffering!!! But he imagines that they must be inundated with "pro-gay" ideas or whatever bc idk, he saw a rainbow flag in downtown Cincinnati once.
Especially notable since we JUST learned about another child who was killed in the bathroom by three other bullies for being non-binary.
The same people who want to bully the children themselves cheer and hoot when a queer kid is murdered right now, so it's as bad as it's ever been and a lot of them want to make it even worse.
the funny thing is that i don't think younger people - and i mean those under the age of 40 - really have a grasp on how many of today's issues can be tied back to a disastrous reagan policy:
this is just what i could come up with in a relatively short time and i did not even live under this man's presidency. the level at which ronald reagan has broken the united states truly can't be overstated.
That cat is absolutely an orphan-generating coal baron. The mustache and top-hat are there in spirit, if not actually. Legally, that cat's name should be Reacher Gilt.
Apparently this comment got screenshotted, escaped containment, and made its way back to the owner of the cat who found me.
Hew name is Lucy, she is well-loved, and she just looks like that all the time:
The Israeli army is just shooting anyone they think is Palestinian, much the same way that Israel is indiscriminately bombing all of Gaza, including the “safe zones” where they have directed noncombatant civilians to go right before they bomb them anyway. It’s war crimes, plain and simple.
fun fact about me: When I was 6 years old I sent so much hate mail to the president (the second Bush) that the mail carrier had to tell my mom I needed to stop before we got FBI’d
I was COMPLETELY unaware of the US political scene or why the adults in my life hated Bush, but I knew I hated him because he let people shoot wolves from helicopters and that’s mean and shitty
I also had a poor grasp on how stamps worked, so given that I wasn’t allowed to continually throw money away by putting stamps on my presidential hate mail, a lot of the times I just drew squares with little pictures inside on the corner.
Love, love, love reading more proof that everyone should encourage the children in their lives to write to elected officials--it teaches them about citizenship and can also be very funny.
When I taught second grade, one of the options for students who had finished their work was to write a letter to the president. I would send all of the letters in a big envelope at the end of every month.
Watching my students get more and more frustrated with him (and concerned about his wellbeing) was not the result I'd hoped for when I came up with the idea, but it was kind of hilarious.
See, Obama had a standard packet with information and activities about his dog he'd send in response to letters from very young citizens...and of course his office sent one back to our class every single time we sent mail.
So eventually all of the letters looked something like this:
Dear President Obama, I am writing about the environment. I am sad that the Great Barrier Reef is hurt. Also the Amazon Rainforest. Can you help? PLEASE DON'T WRITE BACK TO TELL ME ABOUT YOUR DOG AGAIN. WE ALREADY KNOW ALL ABOUT BO. WE COMPLETED THE MAZE AND COLORED HIM IN. It is good that you love your pet a lot. But try to remember the environment. It is also important.
Oh my g-d, I finally ran into one of those "tiktoks that are just Tumblr posts" and it's one of my posts!
Yesterday was two years since “Henry Kissinger is not my friend”
I'll leave the more eloquent condemnations of Henry Kissinger, one of the most evil men to ever live, to Anthony Bourdain.
Needless to say, it's about damn time that mass murdering motherfucker started feeding the worms.
