1st thing he’s said I agree with.
Because he came to this “conclusion” days after many many people already did and sees the bad optics forming even in his own party.
A man with the moral fortitude of a wind sock.
fortitude of how long he can hold off watching PORN, that involves his “adopted son”
Holy shit he’s getting Mitch McConnell face.
Hopefully he gets McCockle’s fate soon, too. ☝🏼
It’s like carcinization, but it’s tortoisization.
Wait. Is McConnell coming back as one of those prehistoric reverse tortoises that look like they swallowed their shells whole? 🤪
testudization.
Having the power to vote without having to have two brain cells to run together? … Isn’t he already there?
So are too many of US voters, so 🤷🏼♂️
Pretty sure it’s universal, but for sure it always hurts more when it is the strongest colonizing power that is stuck in the fascist power loop.
My cat is not registered to vote tyvm
You’re so right! I didn’t know Stephen Colbert could do such a good Mitch McConnell impression 🤣 …oh wait
All sith begin to look this way.
he sold his soul to mitch.
That’s what happened in Iraq. Abu Ghraib radicalized a whole generation of folks against the occupation.

Let’s be real, there’s only so much of any Cluster B most people can take before trying to escape by any means available. Usually fleeing in the opposite direction with a complete address and phone number change. Trump is the most life force sucking of the 4 types.
This guy must be fried. It’s his own fault, truly, but even talking about retiring to Louisiana sounds a little too spot on.
At this point, I’m not surprised he’s talking back. There’s probably a swath of these guys looking forward to midterms as a potential escape that’s someone else’s fault because they have no balls to quit on their own.
I agree with everything you wrote but the last sentence.
The swath of chuds looking for an ego saving out are a bigger problem to decency than a mere lack of sufficiently robust cojones.
A mere coward can find a backbone.
These chuds have whored themselves soul to asshole with a clearer view of the evil which would be empowered by their short-sightedness than you or I know, as we can mostly infer.
All for the merest piece of power in an even more twisted hierarchy that they are to help usher in, and it is only the possibility of failure and losing the promised in-group protection that gives them their instinct to activate the duplicity subroutines within the speech centers of their rectum.
In many ways, they’re worse than the actual “masterminds” behind this wave of scum, and I’d see them all scourged out of existence, first, if it were possible.
These cowards make me more ashamed of sharing a taxonomy with them than the actual fuckers who would see me dead of out actual twisted conviction.
Of course. Nazis could not have done what they had done without ready enlistees in the army and regular citizens being narcs.
There are always bullies. SS and Trumps new ICE types. But how far could they get without all the rest backing them up, through inaction or otherwise?
Though the roll over and play dead with inaction crowd is always an active majority. Right now as well. In part, it’s that human element Palanuik references in Fight Club, the start a fight with someone assignment. The other part is, middle of the bell curve, not leadership material, but people who wait for a leader to follow.
Meanwhile, the constitution burns.
Is it wrong to wish for a little eugenics to rid our species of selfish, spineless morally vacuous trash? I mean it probably wouldn’t work 100% if we just killed them all in one go. There would be more. But it would surely help prevent at least a few of their bastard children from being raised to be carbon copies of their shithead fathers.
I see you comrade.
It is not wrong, but ill advised to entertain such thoughts too much when outside of the flame of righteous emotion.
No, not the part where the loathsome scum who would self-deny their own humanity in exchange for a penny and that the boot grinds their neighbors first get their just desserts. I encourage going nuts there. Really freely exercise those thought muscles and instrospect your way towards charting the limits of your resolve, no maximum dosage. Treat as water; drink when thirsty, careful not to drown when swimming in it, etc.
I say that coming from a place of sibling hood; I am a Sci-fi writer and boy howdy do I let myself go cathartic with both the real outlining and the daydream fantasies.
But as I sit here now in the gathering quiet before the next storm, the time of theory and prep before praxis, I recognize and affirm to myself: No Gods, no masters.
The only verboten mechanism is control. The fantasies wherein I somehow personally have attained ultimate power via some contrived means, should always end with me receiving my just desserts.
We can teach 'em, we can attempt reason with 'em, we can kill 'em should it come to that even. But we can’t allow their corruption to live on through us. The abyss can’t be allowed to stare back.
I think you underestimate the level of daddy issues among Christian Americans.
Trump is no father figure.
Then why do his supporters keep saying things like “daddy’s back!” (Rep. Byron Johnson, R-FL), or chanting “daddy Trump!” at rallies?
If you grew up in a particular kind of household, Trump is sadly familiar.
Gross.
Go back in time about two years and tell that to his cult!
Neither is Yahweh but they have a lot in common with Trump.
I think Republicans are counting on it.
My thoughts exactly. They want to use it to recruit bloodthirsty people who are willing to do their dirty work.
Maybe, but I think it is worse than that. They are looking to create a reaction big enough that they can plausibly convince their idiotic followers that a state of emergency is called for. Then they can hold off elections until it is “safe” enough to do at a later time. They have been trying to start riots and race wars with the ice and the martial law. So, now they are resorting to practically requesting terrorist attacks
I think that’s both infeasible and implausible. If police killing people in the streets doesn’t motivate people, 970 this year, I don’t think this would either. I am curious to hear what you think the chain of events would be.
I will also say that they will definitely try and stop the elections by any means possible, delay them or cheat at them, and so I think it’ll happen, I just don’t think this will be it.
I do think this time we’re not gonna have Elon going on the Tucker Carlson show saying how he thinks he’s gonna get arrested and never see his family again. That was a stupid move on his part.
There’s big differences between a nation wide martial law and what they have been doing so far. It’s not too hard to find a group of fuckwits to send to some other state a couple thousand miles from their home and set them free to be the pieces of shit that they actually are. But the moment those little bitch boys hear about their moms, sisters, or wives having to put up with the same shit from other fuckwits it’s going to put a major damper on their behavior.
The problem that this administration has is that its pawns are human and the country is huge. Due to its size, they are not going to be able to control the entire country with the limited number of incels and openly racist shitbags that won’t care what or why. If they are going to want the take over, they will need the huge numbers of truly stupid that will accept something truly idiotic like the “terrorists made us do it” without ever bothering to think about why the terrorists did it in the first place.I didn’t mention martial law. What is the line that you draw between a single public execution and this huge reaction you mentioned?
Surprised he had a statement to make at all besides “i have only just heard about it, I don’t have an opinion at this time. I’ll have to look into it more. (And never speak of it again)”, let alone actual (mild) criticism.
Don’t buy a lottery ticket today guys. The lowest probability thing in the world has already happened.
Of course, if Trump decides to show it, Johnson will fall all over himself to say it’s the best idea in the world.
Mike Johnson would do this same thing if Trump decided to publicly execute his wife, he is a worthless coward.
he will do anything for the gop/trump for them to not OUT him.
Isn’t that why they’re doing it? To rally their base? Oh…he didn’t mean recruiting MAGA?
Hegseth dressed as the tasmanian devil, yeah yeah yeah yeah, spits WUHAAHhhhh Yeah yeah need more army, BLEYahhhhh
dont see him spinning like a tornado wrecking everyhting. he would spin from drinking though.
I mean, it’s not from a lack of trying
I agree; I’m sure aspiring ICE agents would view such content as inspirational.
Yeah, and not just the terrorists the government is hoping to recruit with it
Wow, we’ve finally found the line that Johnson isn’t comfortable crossing.
I’m impressed, I didn’t think he had a threshold for his sycophantism.
It’s kind of amazing how this has united both sides of the aisle. It kinda shows how fucking extreme Trump and Hegseth are that people from their own party are going “Jesus Christ this is too far”.
some republicans want to grift behind the scene long term, and not have all thier dirty laundry out in the media, that trump is making every gop member do.
I mean yeah, Republicans everywhere would use this as a donation/recruiting event.
as if its not recruiting for white supremecist terrorist groups that is “legitimized” by trump and the gop.
