Mostly just joking about how their “by hand” was using a power drill and a brush.

I don’t disagree but I pretty much like any form of potato, real or fake, fried or baked, with skin or without; it’s all delicious.

I’ll assume you’re asking in good faith. You know what’s I’ve always found interesting though? Nobody likes interacting with the police. I know some old churchy ladies that turn the other direction when they see a cop car. It says a lot about them that even the most law abiding, innocent citizens nope out when they see a LEO on the street.

ACAB and fuck the police; (more than) half of every dollar given to law enforcement should be taken and be used for healthcare, social services, and education. It’d actually alleviate a lot more issues than the dog-shooting, minority-beating, blue wall of silence gang we have in the U.S.

I peel potatos by hand by buying dehydrated instant potatos.

Now you’re getting it. Almost like we’re judged by the company we keep or something.

Running interference for a group that wants people to not exist automatically means you’re defending phobic assholes.

POTUSA was such a fun band. Every song was a complete bop you could just happily groove along to.

The right really doesn’t get humor.

I’m saying this next time I finish, my wife will be thrilled.

The time is now.

Buy a gun or two (a short one and a long one) and learn how to use them; learn some first aid, field medics really just need to know how to stabilize someone. Meet others in your area who are like you and share your beliefs, start building networks who can help each other because the police will not. This is real, the right is marching towards a blend of Christofascism/Corporatocracy that I’m not sure the world has seen and just winning a presidential race in 2024 isn’t going to cut it.

We need long term solutions, consistent, focused work so actual progress can be made again. Organization is so incredibly important and is why the rightwing has been so successful over the last half-century. We don’t have shady PACs funded by billionaires behind us, we’ll have to organize and DIY.

This right here folks, goddamned right. Organize, talk to your friends, and go vote every single election, participate. Get involved, canvas for local people you like, run for something; you’d be surprised how many city council seats or streets commissioner slots are completely vacant. The deck is stacked against us, the Republican party has been cultivating their bigoted base for 70 years and it’s moved the entire country significantly right. We need to begin doing the same thing now if we want to win against the strain of Christo-fascism/Corporatocracy growing here in the U.S. There are only three boxes: soap, ballot, and bullet. We obviously all love using our soapbox, I’d recommend trying the ballot as well. The other box likely ends badly for a lot of people and should be avoided while the other two are still options. If we organize and vote we can absolutely drag the country back to left.

Did you guys hear about that black guy that became mayor of the racist little town simply by filling out the paperwork? We need more of that energy.

At least she’d lose a few voters by doing it, not like some other clowns eh?

I’ll repeat it in case anyone has missed it.

JUST VOTE IN EVERY ELECTION.

We have to go vote in every, single, election. The right spent the last 70 years cultivating a base full of ignorant bigots so they’d turn out to vote against black people and hippies. They even got hateful fuckers to run for boring things like school boards and city councils. That shit paid dividends for them as we’re all witnessing today with a gerrymandered congress and school boards deciding they’re not going to teach things because the truth hurts their feelings.

The only way we win long term is to go vote in every single election and drag the country back to the left (the real left, not the current crop of milquetoast corporate-democrats) so we can have a real conversation about things that really impact peoples lives, like ranked choice, wage theft, national healthcare, and UBI.

Gotta be someone who lived/worked in the area and wanted a hidey-hole. You could wait out the initial chaos for however long it took (1 year? 5? 10?) before you came out and headed to your second, longer term spot up the Rocky mountains or whatever. When you have the money for a $5m bunker it just all becomes logistics of prepping and storage.

After TEOTWAWKI Vegas will probably empty out pretty quick without power or irrigation, it might be a nice safe spot to ride it out if you’re prepared for it.

It’s unfortunate that our entire culture has been boiled down to a few wedge issues by people with no interest in bettering the common persons life. Your stance on Gods/Guns/Gays pretty much determines how you’ll vote at this point.

I immediately thought he looked like he’d been crying.

That was a very dark time for the country, we’ve definitely not recovered from it and it allowed a lot of Christian nationalism and budding-fascism to metastasize into the danger it is today.

Situations like this really demonstrate the concept of intersectionality. The justice system will absolutely treat him differently because he has money. He will likely be treated poorer than a white person with money but he’ll unquestionably be better off than than a black man with no money in the same situation. If nothing else when he inevitably goes to prison he’ll have money to put on his “books” to buy things from the commissary. To say having money means nothing ignores decades (lol centuries) of evidence. There’s no war but the class war.

DeSantis failed to note key details from her remarkable story: The person who tried to end Penny’s life in the womb was not a doctor or even an illegal abortion provider — it was her father. And his effort to abort his daughter with a coat hanger took place almost two decades before the Supreme Court’s seismic Roe v. Wade decision, which established a woman’s right to an abortion.

So because there was a failed “basement” abortion in 1953, that’s proof that abortion should be banned completely?

These people are clearly arguing in bad faith. They’ve built well-funded propaganda networks to radicalize their shrinking base all while bleeding them dry and pointing to the marginalized group of the week as the real boogeyman.

It’s ludicrous at this point. They’re like cartoon villains.
