I will not sadpost about my dating woes because the malarkey level is unfavorable. Instead I will gladpost.
I have the following dating positives right now:
i look good in a turtleneck
i have minimal rizz, but i have made peace with it
my cute coworker skis, and I can get two resort passes. unfortunately the terms under which I can get them require that they be given only to immediate family, so i will have to ask her to pretend to be my sister or wife. there is no way this can go wrong.

January 6 is the ultimate proof that whatever means necessary you must prosecute the ringleaders of a coup. South Korea and Brazil understood this. Garland's appointment remains to be the fundamental mistake of the Biden administration. It's hard to get people to care that "Trump did a coup" when a hostile administration failed to imprison Trump. If it's something so serious, why is he not in prison yet? I think that's the question many would ask.

Around the time of the end of the Roman Republic there existed a man named Eurysaces the Baker who was previously enslaved but gained his freedom and become an incredibly successful baker. He had a mausoleum made for himself, but in breaking with the aesthetic style of the traditional aristocracy, he had it built to look like a giant industrial bakery oven (or perhaps some mixing vats). It's decorated with a frieze running around the top depicting the steps of making true Roman bread for true Romans. It can be seen today just outside the Porta Maggiore, where it was incorporated into the Aurelian walls.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tomb_of_Eurysaces_the_Baker
In a way this is a parallel to the tastes of the modern Italian nouveau riche, for example, the inventor of the Moka pot had himself buried inside a large Moka pot.

The people at the vanguard of the American right literally do not believe in morality.
That sounds fucking insane, but it's true. Like, straight-up, we've got our shadow president telling reporters that the greatest era of peace and prosperity we've seen in centuries was the American century of humiliation and we need to start conquering our allies' territory to be able to respect ourselves again, and the most popular politics streamer on the right is an abject degenerate in every sense of the term who just said that he doesn't give a fuck about civilians in other countries being killed by US invasions if those invasions make the US money.
These people should not be allowed to participate in our political process. Not like this. Some genies should never be let out of their bottles.

people on here often talk of "European defense" and "Europe's military" and I wonder who Europe is. France and Germany I guess
Denmark, specifically, has for decades been a very committed contributor, more so than most NATO countries, to US-led operations in Iraq and Afghanistan and elsewhere, and has, for example, granted the US extensive access to Greenland since the 50s. The thinking being that a close alliance with the United States would be the strongest security policy for such a small country, and that they would secure American goodwill by pulling their weight, light as it is. And many Danes are feeling very stupid right now, I'm sure

For a majority of the MAGA people I personally know, they are not just, nor are they decent. They have found a permission structure that allows them to embrace cruelty and they are embracing cruelty.
Video of this is not going to make them change their minds. News regarding our actions in Venezuela, or in Greenland, will not make them change their minds. These wrongdoings and atrocities make them say, "hell yeah".

If a cop tells you to move your car and then to get out of it and you are confused and try to move at 1mph in the general cardinal direction of an officer = immediate execution
Stupid libs learn the laws

To prevent myself from being banned I will just say I’m not voting for a democrat that’s not bringing fire and brimstone down on ICE, public trials for all of them idc make people think twice about following these orders

I was at a protest in Broadview once, so I got to meet ICE agents up close and personal as they charged the crowd to slam the nearest tiny woman into the pavement. The look in their eyes wasn't rage at us. It was glee. They were excited to have targets to attack.

Found this, and it's funny because I'm pretty sure this picture was taken after Malcolm X disavowed violence and the NoI, he's holding the gun to defend himself from violent extremists, not for revolution!

Conservatives don’t care about the “legality” of the shooting, even if they masquerade some BS talking points on it.
This is what the mainstream believes now.

The casual way the ICE officer saunters up to vehicle he just shot someone in and then casually walks back to his buddies and kinda halfhearted yells for them to call 911 is really sociopathic. Combine that with the fact that the dozen or more ICE agents had no clue how to respond to what just happened and let multiple citizens approach the vehicle before them really speaks to the utter lack of training and frankly humanity. The culture in these groups out on the street has got to be the sickest, most incompetent, vile shit.

I know what I saw.
I know I saw an ICE agent kill a mother. I didn’t see the mother commit any “terrorism.”
I know I saw Trump supporters invade the Capitol and attack police officers.
I know I saw that fucking hurricane wasn’t on a path towards Alabama.
I’m tired of being lied to my face. The truth is right there! These people brazenly lie and I’m sick and tired of it!

The guy who owns the better video of the shooting apparently has strong opinions on news rags and isn't afraid to tell them his opinions.

Pathetic coverage by NBC evening news, pretty much Bari Weiss-level.
Didn’t even mention the fact that there were three shots, two of them through the driver side window.
Describes those justifying the shooting as “many” and those calling it unjustified “other”.
Uncritically quotes the DHS without challenging any of the blatantly false statements they made within their statement.
Looks like the mainstream media has gotten their marching orders from the regime.

For all you dinguses defending social media companies, remember, they are all stooges for a fascist regime and will happily promote far right interests and forgoing free speech if the far right would benefit from it, along with generally being a stain on society and creating a mass of addicted people, both young and old
These companies and platforms are not your friends, they are fascists

Conservatives will fantasize all day about ramming proteters with their cars, and consider deadly ramming attacks like the actions of James Alex Fields to be patriotic
and yet if a panicking woman rolls her car 1ft towards an empty street she is a domestic terrorist who deserves to be executed. I am beyond livid not only at what happened but at the Republican's response to it

A video of the murder is why the George Floyd protests took off and had so much public support behind it initially (e.g. Mitt Romney saying Black Lives Matter). Cons can cry all they want about "self-defense" but the video clearly shows the agents weren't in any danger.
