Photuris

Such a wild different mindset. Like, empathy, morals, and decency aside for a moment, having someone around as your “property” sounds like so much goddamned work! Like, why would one want to keep someone around through coercion and fear? It’s sounds dreadful - much better when someone wants to be around you, no? If they don’t, why not wish them well and move on ffs.

Control freaks are the worst.

Three missed paychecks, and we’ll be there.

For real. Imagine successful infrastructure and social welfare programs being carried out at the city level, with little or no involvement or oversight from the state or federal governments.

Decentralization is what Republicans claim to be all about. Of course it’s a bullshit claim.

Then it’s time to create one.

I’ve never considered myself super “left.” But MAGA and feckless Dems have me radicalized.

It’s either this or guillotines. Time to stop playin’. Let’s fucking go.

Maybe that’s why so many people love him.

(I’m still trying to figure it out)

I’m no psychic or super-empath or anything, but I’m utterly shocked that others haven’t felt these bad vibes emanating from this guy at all.

How weird is that? What kind of black magick mesmerism is this guy practicing? It’s super effective, sadly. But it’s not effective on everybody - it seems people are either completely immune, or completely susceptible to his “charm.”

Anyway, I still don’t get it. I guess I’m immune. No idea why.

Yes, but most Democrats in congress are feckless cowards. They don’t want to be seen “instigating” something ugly.

Instead, they’ll give speeches, hold up plaquards, and write firmly-worded letters.

And the Republicans are complicit, so.

The reason (well, one of the reasons) they don’t do it, is because Trump ignores orders. Meaning: if they want to remove him from office, it would literally come down to sending goons in to physically remove him, and the other goons might resist. It would get ugly.

Simply put: most Democrats in congress are giant pussies.

If we lived in a more sane world, our Democratic representatives in Congress would be breaking down the doors.

“Legal” doesn’t mean shit if no one enforces it.

Alas, nothing has been enforced yet.

Will it? Will judicial orders ever be enforced? I don’t know.

What will it take for it to happen? Something ugly?

My comment was deleted for being too hardcore I guess (even though it got upvotes, so at least someone agrees with me). But I spoke zero lies and I 100% stand by what I said.

Regardless, I’ll rephrase in a gentler way: empathy is wasted on these people. They are effectively irredeemable.

I say we dispense with empathy. Casting pearls before swine, and all that.

If we wish to defeat Fascism, we cannot be gentle.

Our grandfathers who defeated Fascism in Europe didn’t do it by being understanding and forgiving. Allied soldiers dragged German citizens to the concentration camps and made them look at it.

Sometimes shaming is exactly what you need to do.

Fuck him. Stupidity must have consequences.

We should rub his nose in the turd he laid. Mock him and ridicule him relentlessly and mercilessly.

Make him cry? Good. Make him angry? We need to keep mocking him until we break his spirit.

To hell with kindness and forgiveness. That’s not how you defeat Fascism.

Somebody needs to punch him in the dick.

They’ve been trying to start something for awhile now. I think they’ve been genuinely surprised by the lack of eagerness on the part of most Americans to get involved in civil unrest (because we’re normal people who don’t want to do that shit unless there really is no other recourse).

Alien vs. Predator.

Whoever loses, we win.

Either a hero when it works, or a victim when it doesn’t, never any personal accountability.

Typical Narcissist/Sociopath (i.e., giant cunt).

But people with Narcissistic Personality Disorder (and related Cluster B disorders) have been known to come out of the psychedelic experience with an even bigger egomaniacal God complex than they had going into the experience, counterintuitively.

He’s goddamned right.

I abhor Putin, but he is a legit badass hard motherfucker; whereas Trump is pudding by comparison.

Really, I’m shocked, daily, that so many Americans have rallied around this guy, McRib Bonespurs over here, as their populist “tough guy.” It’s so goddamned weird.

Y’all, it’s not a mistake. It’s marketing.

We’re all talking about HBO. That’s the point.

Me: a disillusioned Liberal who runs Fedora, because I’m a basic bıtch and I ain’t got time for this shit anymore.
