the slave labor camps will thrive under trumpery.

Their stocks are already soaring.

Speaking of which though. Woke Commiefornia had a ballot initiative to finally outlaw slavery. There was no campaign opposing the measure. It failed.

From sea to shining sea, there are millions of Little Hitlers for those with the eyes to see them.

Disillusionment:

2. What A Surprise!
A Look of Terminal Shock in your Eyes
Now Things are Really What They Seem
No, This is no Bad Dream

(and I intend for this to be the last time I ever quote Roger Waters... but given his own behaviour the past few years... it fits, here)

Proto-fascism for burger eaters.

TV President for a TV country.

I heard the average age of a homebuyer is 56. This is why all the “saving democracy” pearl clutching fell flat.

If I don’t own a piece of the pie, why would I give a fuck if some guy sticks his thumb in it.

Edit: if anyone doubts my "proto-fascism for burger eaters" take

If you need money maybe hit up this guy

"Fight Fund" ?
1. There was no 'fight' in them the day after the election, at least for this election. The phalanx of legal help they had on board to prevent election fraud was never utilized.

2. They raised > $1 Billion (and inherited Biden's war chest?) They spent approximately $400MM. Meaning there should be plenty of money left over to 'fight' with.


It seemed so unbelievable to me, that I went and did a quick search, to see if it were real.
And it is. Supposedly, it's to fund future (?) candidates. WTAF?

I've never been one to donate to campaigns... and this exemplifies 'why not'. SMFH

Spent the last few days shoring up my own personal sitch to get ready for the deluge, and wondering if I'm a 'mean' person for wanting to dispassionately watch the impending carnage. Being at the top of the social hierarchy (white, male) has its perks.

Oh, well... time to medicate, and forget about all of it...

No they're apparently 20 million in debt. Trump offered to pay it off for them (lol). The Democratic Party is basically a make-work program for consultants who get paid commissions on every stupid ad they put out. In that way, the campaign was incredibly successful.

There was no 'fight' in them the day after the election, at least for this election.

There's no fight in them for any election. Their donors are totally fine with the results this time.

You gotta admit running as the anti-pedophile guy and then immediately appointing a bunch of pedophiles to high ranking government positions is a funny bit

Good time to remember this banger from a fellow cannabis consumer:

We live in a "Demon Haunted World" now more than when he wrote this

Looks like absolute shit

This is what a corpo with an unlimited marketing budget can do with "AI". Pathetic.

Happy 11/22/63 Day to all who celebrate!

My JFK Theory: Allen Dulles just wanted to put the fear of God into Jack after he refused to provide air support for the Bay of Pigs invasion. Then known CIA spook Oswald hit two miraculous, all-timer shots

 

[Bakin4Life]

Today's date is also when I lost my mom (2015, not 1963). Losing family in late November kinda sucks, tbh. But we deal, each in our own way.

I disagree w/ your Dulles theory, tho... if this was a 'let's put the fear of g*d in him'... then Oswald would've deliberately missed, would he not? Or at least not deliver two 'kill' shots.

I'm going w/ Kevin Costner, in the study, with a candlestick. Probably as much as we'll (really) find out, before we both die.

Sorry to bring it up

That's fair. And I was mostly kidding. But it was definitely Dulles. He was pissed about the Bay of Pigs. We may never know the details. Agnostic on if Oswald acted alone or not. But Dulles gave the orders. Then he covered it up as a member of the Warren Commission.

I remember reading this book and thinking, "wow, Allen killing JFK isn't even in his Top 5 crimes"

No, it's ok. I feel bad for mentioning it.

Now this is a hell of a hook. Well done. Adding this to my reading list.

You have to be a pre-Civil War plantation owner level racist to be mad at Denzel Washington being in a movie. Fuck this Nazi

Also, if you think calling this piece of shit a Nazi is unfair, here's his own father:

You know, I never used to buy into Killer Aliens being a thing. Until I realized, the Universe is very large. It just takes one belligerent civilization to cause real problems for everyone else.

Just finished a new novel from the authors of The Expanse.

It proposes an answer that doubters of Alien Invasions raise: why would aliens bother? The benefits of being interstellar conquerors don't justify the cost. If you're advanced enough to travel between the stars, you can likely conjure any resource you need or want with ease.

But the Aliens in their novel are after a rarer resource: intelligence. By assimilating a variety of intelligent species, the conquerors gain access to ways of thinking and solving problems their own species could never conceive of.

I breathed a sigh of relief reading it. If there are aliens out there looking to conquer intelligent species, Earth is in the clear
