Good government is tyrannical rule by a giant evil floating head

it's very funny when a centrist is mad at me and i accurately peg them as a former hillaryis44 lurker and they react like i just recited their social security number at them. i know what you are

kamala is kind of weird because like as far as her policies or even personality go, she's not even particularly that bad; she's not even fanatically anti-progressive like a lot of other dem politicians are. but for some reason her fans are absolutely goddamn feral. literally consumed by madness

look we cloned all those hitlers because the reasoning was that no soldier would feel bad about killing them in live fire exercises. anyway, general, that's why i'm in this walk-in freezer and there's a line of sparks going down the edge of the door behind me

for over a century leftists have had a mostly deserved reputation for being mostly pre-occupied with settling scores and winning arguments than attaining any actual political goal and it's been fascinating to watch centrists in the last 10 years completely, utterly dethrone leftists in this regard

i have a time machine and a desire to create the maximum amount of chaos but it can't go back further than 1950, so I think I'm gonna go to the Cultural Revolution and give all the Red Guards AI image gen technology

Sharks for shark week Sam is a thresher shark with many bad habits and a notable girl-liker. One of my older characters, originally made her as a hacker character for a Shadowrun game and then she kind of got out of control and became her own thing.

When the gods are thrown down and the temples thrown down and the mighty thrones of the divine thrown down and when every universe has burned in that final, universal revolution, the sunrise of the last sun will bask upon the three survivors: a chimera, a queen, and a single wilting flower

the intractable crisis for the Democratic Party is that even if the centrists absolutely despise the progressives, and even if the progressives can't win general elections, that really doesn't matter because the centrists are gonna keep losing primaries

NEW: Polling of 18 Cook-rated toss-up districts shatters conventional wisdom about how to win in a swing district. Independents *and* moderates want outsider candidates who will stand up to the political establishment. The middle of the road is where you get run over.

it's very telling that whenever i bring up what happened to the whigs to some fanatical-status-quo-supporter democrat, they always clearly have no idea what i'm talking about

The actual story of Jesus is that he openly preached a doctrine of collaboration with Pontius Pilate, a guy that was fired from his post for being too cruel. As a roman governor. For some reason, most Jews weren't a fan of this idea!

a lot of ppl were clowning on JP for mangling what the bible actually says in this post and with good reason, but some of the confusion is bc the story he's referring to is told differently in the gospels of matthew and john and it's an contrast i find really interesting
