  1. I'm trying to graduate from just posting gifs to actually getting to some sense of awareness again.

    Our betrayal of Ukraine is the starkest example of the absolute capitulation by the Republicans of any semblance of belief in democratic ideals.  WTF.

    There are support mechanisms for the people affected by GOP domestic terrorism.  But no one in Europe can stand in for the hole we are leaving and no one in Europe is more of a Putin puppet than Trump.  Revolting and such a stain on this country.

  2. Wico in San Antonio in May.  Just read Tweedy autobiography which was really good. If you missed it when it came out 8 years ago, and you don't know everything about them already, it's pretty good.

  4. I realize that this has always been so obvious, but these last four weeks have really made the point that it's gutless congresspeople who are to blame.  I'm not both sizing it.  Republicans because they are cowardly, irresponsible and devoid of ethics, and Dems because they don't have any imagination.

    Is it really a constitutional crisis when one arm of government utterly abandons any responsibility to push back on the other two?  The courts also, but they still show a spark now and again.

    It all comes down to this.  Everything else is just stupid details.

    The final goal is to leave and live on a private island with private military support etc.  For the billionaire class.  First, you have to ransack this country before you leave it's bloated corpse behind.  Then the next step is to finish off the earth and head to space.  If you don't think that's the plan, you're not paying attention.  

    Count me in as staying on to be a hunter gatherer.

    Will be so nice without those motherfuckers here, even if I'm only gathering two headed crawdads.

    The way to greater American prosperity is encouraging people to move from lower productivity jobs in the public sector to higher productivity jobs in the private sector.
