I can’t get over the generals, the fucking generals, the most right wing, old timey conservative Republican people on Earth — they ALL said, “Trump is a dangerous fascist. Do not vote for him.”
And these dumbasses simply didn’t listen, didn’t care. And now we all have to pay.
OK, let me solve American "economic anxiety" very quickly. I'm gonna sort it out for you in less than ten tweets and then you won't have that excuse anymore. You ready? Here goes.
The cause is capitalism and greed. That's it. Nothing else. Just that.
His. Former. Vice. President. Told. Us. Not. To. Vote. For. Him.
His current VP candidate called him America’s Hitler.
Almost every single one of his prior Cabinet members said he is grossly unqualified and dangerous.
We are a nation of imbeciles. I hate everyone.
Yay! I’ve always wanted to have the liquor taxes of Washington back.
This will hurt small business, and make prices go up. Chicago is a huge drinking city, the city isn’t hurting on liquor tax as it is. This is stupid.
Mayor Johnson is proposing a 33% increase in Chicago's "sin" tax on beer, wine, and spirits.
If it passes, combined "sin" tax rates per gallon on alcohol in Chicago will be:
Spirits: $14.61 (2nd highest tax in US)*
Beer: $0.71 (7th highest in US)
Wine: $2.11 (2nd highest in US)
Many don’t realize that the first people Hitler sent to his concentration camps weren’t everyday Jewish citizens, but his political opponents. So, when Trump rants about retribution, locking up his opponents, and giving them “very long sentences,” I can’t help but take him seriously… because history teaches us that is what fascist dictators do during their “Day One” period to consolidate their power. (After all, if you’re hellbent on staying in power but aren’t likely to win the next election, you can’t have your political opponents running around free.)
To keep fascism out of our lives, vote for democracy!
Digital billboard advertising presidential debate glitching out in rising floodwaters is a little too on the nose. I think we need to dial back the Meta.
Here’s Kris Kristofferson talking about a Bob Dylan tribute concert at MSG in 1992 where Sinéad O’Connor was getting booed after ripping up a photo of the Pope on SNL and he was asked to get her off the stage.
He refused.
“Don’t let the bastards get you down.”
RIP to an icon
I'm old enough to remember 2016, when a lot of millennials got suckered into believing that Hillary Clinton was just as bad as Donald Trump and didn't vote. That's why millennials are chewing Chappell Roan's ass up. They remember how we ended up with Trump the first time.
Republicans introduced 400+ anti-gay bills in state legislatures around the country in 2023, the highest number in the entire history of the United States.
