Trump needs to keep his fucking mouth shut about the vaxx!

He needs an advisor to talk to half his voters...so out of touch...almost makes me want to gag as much as listening to shit-stain in chief.

I didn’t watch last night (my anti anxiety meds are late again) but from the highlights the best part was the father of the dead Marine screaming at him from the gallery. American fucking hero!!!!!

The Trump “truth” thing about the vaccine is…perplexing. Because Trump is not stupid. I’ve learned to see most of what he says as a game of some kind. So he knows. But…

I couldn’t even bring myself to watch it. Watched a few minutes of the republican “rebuttal” and it was, as kids say, completely cringey. I try really hard not to doom out. But our political class is increasingly just…stupid.

They greeted him like he was a rockstar and then bounced up and down clapping like trained seals. And the "opposition" is really not that much better. In short, we're in an awful lot of trouble.

It really was 'old man yells at clouds'.

And it is indeed getting bad here in Canada. Another joyful part of the bill includes warrantless search and seizure ( of anything) from businesses. I think they still will need a warrant for private homes.

All in pursuit of putting some poor sod in prison for life because he made a hasty remark on twitter.

And it's got an ex post facto clause.

Can we nail Justin there for all the bile he spewed at the unvaccinated?

Or would that be considered justified?

Yup. Canadian politicians have lost their marbles.

"Drugged up container of entitled rage." Perfect description.

So, I have a FB friend who is a retired nurse…. Her theory is that Biden has a pump similar to what diabetics have… and that the cocktail they give him can be moderated from a remote so that when he starts slipping, they can “ booster” him…. That bellicose yelling last night was frightening

Everyone needs to think very hard about what they will do. I am sure many people never thought (I did not) that things would get this bad in (say) the baby-boomers' lifetimes. It is cheap and easy to *say* "Live Free or Die", or "Molon Labe", but now....

Pretend, pretend, pretend. The press pretends that it is foolhardy to underestimate the political genius of Joe Biden. The Dems pretend he gave the best speech ever. The GOP pretends to give a rebuttal. The only one not pretending was Joe Biden. What we witnessed last night was the White House and Jill letting Biden be Biden. He’s always been the biggest f***ing a-hole in a town full of them.

Can’t wait for the Leni Riefenstahl rendition of last night. Should be moving. Moving like when the brown shirts show up at my door and move me to the camp.

I think Tucker is right—they’re going to steal the 2024 election. No way they would hop Biden up on stimulants and drag him out there to bark and foam at the mouth in full view of the world if they weren’t confident of victory. It’s so obvious to me now. “It’s the best he’s ever looked! He’s destroyed the narrative that he doesn’t know what’s going on! Confident! In command! Take that, Republicans!” And Speaker Johnson just nods along about funding Ukraine, the cuck.

Prepare for hard times ahead.

Yep, this is what's coming, no matter your votes. You will be punished, and then punished some more.

That Roomba has wandered, and much like Biden’s brain, is now hopelessly clogged with cat hair, dryer sheets and a three year old receipt from Dairy Queen.

The conventional wisdom used to be that the United States was unique in that it was separated from its enemies by two oceans. But now, we have gulags to the North of us, CCP-armed violent cartels to the South and Fifth Columnists in our midst. The barbarians are no longer at the gates. They're here.

Four. More. Years.

Started to listen while running an errand. Ironically, each AM station it was on--which was nearly all presets (haven't had radio in car for more than 20 minutes total since 2012 and my phone replaced my iPod) would wash out. Seriously, like a ghost in the machine, I couldn't get a station that stayed solid. Weird.

But then, when it did have a moment of static-free play...It didn't take more than 30 seconds before I can feel my face heat up, my BP raise, my anger to swell in my chest--and I realized that I haven't been able to closely listen to the opposition for a very long time.

This is a handicap. I have ignored nearly every SOTU since Obama, wasn't even curious in the Trump admin--everything was such chaos, and COVID hadn't woken me up to the absolute capture of legacy media.

I have been taking the ostrich option instead of truly listening to them.

Not very mature, but it seems to be the only way I can keep a toe-hold on a positive, healthy state of mind.

I long for a leader who makes me feel proud of who he is, who we are, and optimistic about the future.
