Life is like a bedpan, cold and full of shit. I'm a father, a husband, an IT grunt, and a Vocalist/drummer. I like ice cream and smiles with darkness for miles.
De Niro: I hate to say it, but loving our country is starting to sound like an abused spouse saying they love their abuser.
I can’t love a country that starts stupid and inhumane wars, killing thousands of innocents and indirectly causing the deaths and suffering of millions more.
I can’t love a country that takes healthcare away from millions of people and uses that money to enrich their pals in the Trump-Epstein class.
I can’t love a country that sends out masked militias to shoot citizens in the streets, torture our neighbors, and separate families.
I can’t love a country that’s led by a racist, misogynist, xenophobic tyrant.
And let me just say it: I can’t love a country that’s led by Donald Trump and his sycophant Congress.
Last night, Twatter put a content warning on this uncensored picture and hid it behind a filter.
So, let's try this again. This censor bar will surely be enough to satisfy the Twats.

The same country that tells you healthcare is too expensive just watched billionaires cheer a $75 billion SpaceX IPO. There is always money. The question is who gets it. You don't. They told you you'd get $4,000 checks from DOGE. They lied.
It's not the laborers that built this country with their sweat equity. No it was the ones who profit most off the laborers, the mythical job creators doling out mana from "heaven". This is a fever, a sickness. we need to burn this notion out of the country.
Trump may as well have called the rest of us peasants.
According to him, it wasn’t workers who built America. It was rich guys like him and his cabinet:
“These people built the country, not the complainers. The complainers didn’t build the country…. Whether it’s fishermen or farmers or anything else. Me. Guys like me, they built the country. And you know, I watch all these ingrates, they’re always complaining, complaining. They didn’t build anything, they couldn’t build anything.”
For people dealing with addiction, I hope Hunter's experience inspires you to get clean, stay clean, to get sober, and to stay sober. Get the help you need and get the support you need. You are not alone.
I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.
That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.
You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.
I feel strongly about this: journalists have an ethical responsibility to call these election lies what they are. We just stop hiding behind the euphemistic “without proof.” Or democracy is fragile and under assault. Patrician journalistic niceties serve no one is a moment of crisis, not even journalism. We are called to reveal and convey truth. It starts with every interaction. It starts in the moment. It starts to their faces. It feels good to be free to do what I think is right.
@RepFine I would believe you but you're just not clutching the pearls enough. Come on, you're a Republican. Fear is the only tool you use to keep peeps in line. Go big or go home dude. ah, sorry, Congressman Dude, where are my manors.
Hunter Biden was the most written about ''failed son'' in America, and then in one week he stopped being written about and started writing the story himself.
For a decade the narrative belonged to everyone but him. The laptop. The addiction. The business deals. The conviction. The pardon that hung over his name like a verdict that never finished. Reporters built careers on his collapse. He stayed quiet and took it.
Then in late May he logged back onto X and something flipped.
His posts started pulling millions of views within days. The man the world had written off was suddenly setting the news cycle in real time. The same reporters who covered his downfall now refreshed his timeline for material.
He didn't apologize for the past. He didn't beg for sympathy. He just started talking, and people couldn't stop listening.
The lowest card in the deck turned the entire table. The president he'd been defined by even got asked about him in the Oval Office.
Sometimes the person everyone counted out isn't finished. They're just waiting for the room to go quiet so they can finally speak for themselves.
So let me make sure I’m reading this right.
You want farmers to drop $10,000 to $100,000 on a robot instead of just paying a person by the bushel? And then act shocked when a single tomato will cost more than my car payment?
Cool. Totally normal take. Nothing says “I love American agriculture” like making food so expensive that regular people can’t afford it, all because some folks would rather have no workers than deal with H1B visas.
Peak economic strategy. Really.
