Here is my new website as well, it has Q&A about donating and my story etc. my brother and I put it together with the help of my family. I’d really appreciate it if you shared it with everyone. We make our own fates!

@SenRickScott You should be tarred and feathered

[Cleve Shirley @CleveShirley]

@ChuckGrassley @Juliedonuts It should really be a wake up call for Congress

[Thomas Massie @RepThomasMassie]

$4,000 per year per American.

That’s how much interest we are paying on the debt to banks & foreign countries every year.

A family of four owes $16,000 per year for nothing but interest on the debt!

I lost my re-election because I voted against the policies that caused this.

[Cleve Shirley @CleveShirley]

@RepLuna Nope. Just let it dishcarge in BK like every other debt

[Cleve Shirley @CleveShirley]

@NikkiHaley Every one of you should be ashamed of yourselves. Pretending like you give a shit with these posts and then every one of you (except Massie) voting for more spending is beyond insulting. Just keep inflating it away? You are all disgraces.

@nmlinguaphile @ZavalaA My first thought was that I’ll need to plan to drive to AZ before my tires are completely toast. CA gov sucks. It’s ridiculous.

@sweatystartup Get them in wrestling or jiu jitsu.

[Cleve Shirley @CleveShirley]

@TooMuchMortons_ Can we just do all of them??

[Cleve Shirley @CleveShirley]

@IfindRetards Dude really just wants the money printing to end so he can afford his life but has been tricked into thinking he needs more money printing so he can afford his life

@ZeroCarpincho A little from column A, a little from column B

@Cernovich Anything Trump/MAGA is cooked. Anything pro-Israel is cooked.

@WallStreetApes They are Chaldeans—Christians from Iraq.

@FOS I might be in my 40’s but I’m better than their current 5th man. Who should I talk with to walk on?

[Cleve Shirley @CleveShirley]

@JiujitsuOtter It depends on if you see the others schools as part of our jiu jitsu community or as adversaries, I guess. We have a very popular open mat and I thinks it’s cool to meet everyone from other schools and see how different styles stack up.

[Cleve Shirley @CleveShirley]

Great and unfortunately highly accurate rant

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

I know why everything sucks...

...and it's because everything is fake

We are voting for fake candidates, who run on fake promises, inside a fake system that was never designed to fix anything.

We are raising kids in fake schools that teach fake history, fake science, which quietly produce fake adults who can't think for themselves.

Then they are getting fake college degrees that cost 4 years and six figures that teach fake education and they get fake jobs.

We are eating fake food, with fake ingredients, funded by fake research.

We are scrolling through fake lives, with fake relationships, who take fake, curated vacations to promote brands that make fake products.

We are watching fake news, about fake crises, produced by fake journalists, for fake outrage.

We are borrowing fake money that was printed from nothing, to fund a fake economy that would collapse in an afternoon if people stopped pretending it was real.

We are buying fake organic food that's just a paid label, and drinking fake juice with two percent juice in it, and putting fake cheese on cheeseburgers that's just "cheese product" on fake burger meat.

We are donating to fake nonprofits where the moeny never makes it to the people and then funding fake foreign aid that buys real weapons to prop up fake governments.

We are going to fake therapy that teaches fake coping skills instead of telling you hard truths.

We are buying fake furniture made of fake wood that's actually compressed sawdust and glue that looks like wood, ships in fourteen boxes with instructions written in a fake language that isn't quite any language, requires tools it doesn't include, takes 4 hours to build, wobbles on day 1, and is totally destroyed in 6 months.

We are downloading fake "free" apps that charge a subscription after three days for AI features that don't work, hidden behind a paywall we didn't see, protected by a privacy policy we didn't read, buried inside Terms of Service written by lawyers specifically so we wouldn't read them, that we agreed to by tapping a button the size of a thumbnail, that gave a company we've never heard of the right to sell our data to companies we'll never hear of, to build a profile on us we'll never see, to influence decisions we'll never know were made.

IT. IS. ALL. SO. FREAKING. FAKE.

And we all yearn for what was once real.

Don't you remember? Did you forget?

There was a time with a simple handshake between men was a contract.

When bread went stale because... well, that's what real bread does!

When kids played outside all day until it was dark, and nobody tracked them.

When a family could live off a single income.

When music was made by people who LIVED something real and you could feel it.

When schools was HARD... and that was the point!

When doctors knew your name and your family, they even came to your house,

When you bought something once... and it was yours forever.

When the chair your grandmother bought once lasted 70 years and she passed it onto your dad.

And now nothing is real, and that's why everything sucks.

@BjjTip I think it’s totally fair game for the jiu jitsu community to clown him a little but he’s also got a great advantage against those that don’t train
