He taught us all life is beautiful. He taught us that we should appreciate the hell out of it.

I think patriot front goons are gonna shit themselves and fall down the second one of them gets their head exploded. These are not an army. These are - at best - overcompensating racists who enjoy watching stuff blow up good. At worst, sociopaths and highly paranoid incels with nothing to lose and no one to talk to. Are they gonna take over downtown? No. They might kill a few people, be the news item o’the week, standard mass shooter stuff but with matching little bandanas.

Look these chuds come marching out of a uhaul, and one of them takes a shotgun in the gut - invasion over. Horrifying, wrong-at-all-levels, a failure of society, government, education, and media, yes. But not a threat to the US Army. Or, hell, most over-militarized police units.

Now, individual acts of terrorism? Taking over East Bumble’s bad neighborhood? Yeah, possible. For awhile. These are guys who only talk and cosplay. Yes a little target practice and hey some calisthenics to unify the sweaty bros or whatever else they get up to at Camp Grab Ass. They are radicalized, they are individually dangerous, but they aren’t going to meet up at the state capitol and taliban their way into running the department of transportation.

Wow AI is just so amazing

Oooh y’know who they missed: Steve Irwin. Yeah we’re gonna need a part II.

Crap. Okay who wants to go back to the Meme Council®?

Yknow, that one you could almost get away with by finding some star trek visor clip art.

But, hey, I got my NDT gripes but I am 100 A-OK with him on here. This random meme from the Interwebz.

What about Jim McDonugal?

Or Frank T. Millerson?

I mean - if the DC cops hadn’t explicitly been instructed not to interfere, we’d have had a very different Jan 6.

50 Ashli Babbitts and step on whatever roaches are drawn out. Done deal. The catch there is it makes the unqualified assumption the police are inclined to act against violent, seditionist MAGA garbage. And we know that’s not always the case. But it’s also a different scenario than meth’d-up hillbillies in monster trucks with a glock in each hand and one between their teeth.

Putin and Li’l Kim and Mister Bone Saw seem to have no problems controlling him.

So you don’t think DEI serves any useful purpose. That whenever you see people of color who aren’t good at their jobs they got those jobs just because they weren’t white. Or, just in this one, very-specific, very high-profile instance.

Hey, I get it. I know a lot of people who think like that. They don’t mean to be - y’know - dismissive of DEI (of course in Ye Olden Tymes it was called Affirmative Action). Well . . some of them did. Oh man, some of them really did, y’know. But they were struggling with their own things, and it was the style at the time.

In this context, calling her “a DEI hire” means she’s not qualified. You’re saying she’s not qualified? Hey y’know who wasn’t a very good press secretary at all? Sean Spicer. Remember when he jumped in the bushes? He wasn’t a DEI hire was he? Nooooo. White men don’t need no steenking badges.

Sounds scary! Gosh i’d better breathe some more - what is it? Copium? - sure ok mister man! All variables are completely known an plugged in! Nothing can possib-LIE go wrong

Hey you down with the Icy Hot Stuntaz?! Me too!

I’ll disagree.

No. They’d never do anything that helpful.

Fair point. Someone please contact the Meme Council®.

Eww. Is he at least rich? Does he kick ass and take names? What about a catch phrase, something like, “Ahll be bahck” or “yipee ki yay motherfucker!”?

sigh I know.

Heh heh heh

I don’t even refer to Evangelicals as Christians anymore. They are two different things at this point.

100%

Ha ha yeah you right about that. Southern Baptists are the old school batshit crazy religious nuts. Still are, really.

The Old Testament really fucked things up. That’s where you find all the serious, wtf killings. I forget why they created a whole other “New” Testament though.
