Once upon a time, for about 30 seconds, when I was younger and mor naive, I looked at an all black SUV, probably a Suburban and thought it looked kinda cool. Now that I’m a bitter, jaded old man, I just naturally assume it’s a cop.

Never heard of Rep. Tim B. before this year, all of a sudden seeing him cosplaying as a natsec expert with Kegsbreath on Shawn Ryan clips and then being interviewed saying #Medicaid recipients should “just get a job.” Come to find out he a career politician and a classist POS.

Those chuckleheads in Congress just voted to clawback food aid under #USAID that was meant for hungry people around the world. #christiannationalism at its finest. No wonder I’m an #atheist and an #anarchist - I doubt #christ would approve. Fuck #mikejohnson.

I will say this: if you’re a #Democrat, #progressive, #leftist, #voteblue, #blueresistance, or whatever, and you’re saying “you voted for this” to people that rely on govt aid or suffered from a disaster, because they oppose you politically? Seriously go fuck off. You are NOT better than them.

I read “Anti-Politics” by Mayweather + Forester. If you @ me to kvetch this is not a leftist book, well, I don’t limit my reads to suit YOU.

Amazingly enough the Monday morning propaganda, um, sorry, “news,” actually took time out from spouting war porn to spout sports porn.
