Bring McCarthy back! Clone the bastard! Cohn the bastard! /s
I think we should start rounding up all the pieces of shit that are trying to villainize being a decent human being.
Fuck you, Roy and the horse you rode on.
Welp been nice knowing y'all. Guess my DSA membership means I'll be deported to Venezuela soon.
Seriously, Chip.....fuck off.
Ah, so your ENTIRE military apparatus?
They are so scared lol
you know if these fuckers existed prior to 1776 they'd want to "deport" the founding fathers. Hell if Jesus came back today they'd deport him too.
What year is this? Cold war is over.
Yeah and Russia is their best friends, weird time
Of all the unprecendented things happening these days, this is not one of them. This is standard issue, 100y-old Red Scare garbage. Liberalism scares tyrants, so they always try this strat, and it's always bound to lose.
The last red scare in the US ruined countless lives before they gave up the strategy
OK then lets make a HITLER bill to deport fascists and racial supremacists.
Perversely my vote brought it to this:
Hang Hitler
That's catchy.
Fucking deport them into space without a suit
Name it the TRUMP bill and they'll pass it just because.
Treating Really Undesirable Motherfuckers Poorly ACT. The aim of the bill is to mandate that citizens continually shout at fascists when they appear in public. This also calls on chefs and cooks to incorporate jizz into each dish they prepare for a fascist. Hotels would be required to kick the fascists out somewhere between 2-3am each night.
No thank you, we don't need them. (the rest of the world)
Well no, that would be a violation of free speech.
Funny, for a bunch of “good old boys” who made like they couldn't’ figure out how to say his name, they sure figured it out when they had to, didn’t they?
Also, this particular dipshit is running against “MAGA” Mayes Middleton in a primary runoff, with both calling the other insufficiently conservative. A pox upon both their houses.
Two people trying to outMAGA each other would be a good SNL sketch if it wasn't real. It's like these people are trying to replicate only the crassest, most disgusting parts of Trump's personality without the... the.... ok, no, that's a pretty good impression.
Literally fuck off (lawmaker, not OP)
So, yeah. 1st amendment means absolute nothing these days, eh?
Also, due process got thrown out the window long ago. Seems to me that it’s just a matter of time until the rest of the constitution is just a decoration.
All this copaganda has been super effective. Really started laying it on thick to justify the patriot act.
I think it gets into the back of people's minds and they don't react in their best interests in high stress situations.
Yes. During the rise of Hitler, Jewish newspapers stubbornly insisted not to worry, that he couldn't do all the horrible things he said he was going to do because of "the constitution". It turns out a piece of paper with words written on it doesn't protect you from someone who doesn't value it, no matter how much you might value it.
Just because something is illegal doesn’t mean it can’t happen. When laws are no longer enforced, they lose their value, and the old system collapses. If you don’t see any value in the new system, it’s time to do something about it.
It didn't during the Red Scare either. They're bringing back all the classic atrocities already, so…
The blade on the guillotine goes up and down, up and down, up and down! The blade on the guillotine goes up and down, all the live long day.
All the dead long day...
I know they designed a great diagonal blade that made the blade go through in one go rather than the original designs that had to go a few times before they got through the neck.
I think they should use the original blade designs. It would make for a much better waiting game for those in line to go, they get to guess how many drops it will take before their turn. It's not that I want to be cruel, I just want them to really think about the question "should I have paid them enough to live?"

Palantir identifies you for your thought crimes and they send a drone to denaturalize you from earth
If that starts happening then career in plumbing is the alternative
This is literally the opening line of that one fucking poem, “First they came for the Communist”
Right here, asshole.
Go Dodgers.
Ya know.....it feels like the Dodgers are the west coast Yankees. Just in terms of raw athletic talent. Like they have a monopoly on good players. I mean, they even originated from NY.
But then you read that Dodgers told ICE to go fuck themselves, and then hosted a game raising charity money for local families torn apart by ICE, and I begin to have a LOT more leeway against them.
It's really hard to hate the Dodgers when they are helping so many people.
I'll still be a Guardians fan, but I'll still tip my cap to you.
And as always, fuck the Yankees.
