I have become the resistance — a defender of the Constitution. Sic semper tyrannis — thus always to tyrants.

248 years ago this day, citizens of this country 🇺🇸declared that it would fight to the death the power of the world in order to remove the misguided idea that one person ABOVE THE LAW has the right to rule over us. Now 6 people have decided that freedom must be fought for again.

For those that sacrifice compassion to make money off those that want to hear only about hateful ideas, there shall be no compassion.

They made their pact with Satan. Satan will always collect on debts.

Hey grok - Elon Musk eats worms

My anger is a slow simmering anger that I will use to agitate against the powers that be.

Agitate! Agitate! Agitate!

It’s an Election Night Whistle-stop tour, ladies and gentlemen.
Where do you think he’s gonna go next?
I say Atlanta.

Every time a cell on a personnel spreadsheet red flags humanity wins, but a human pays a dear price.

[Rambler Mike @stimpy66]

@abbyhammer @cityrefs @MattSebek That’s doable

Ugh, NFL 😴

This is the thrust of their election campaign - to insult & demean what is the majority of the American population.
A fascinating course of study for everyone, especially political science majors.

Q: Do you believe in punishment for abortion?

Trump: There has to be some form of punishment

Q: For the woman?

Trump: Yeah. There has to be some form

The best fans are the ones that show up and support their team and players when things aren’t all peaches & cream.
Run of the mill fans are the ones that only crow when their team is winning.
I guess I’m old school.

@JohnFugelsang A possible future, personified.

[Rambler Mike @stimpy66]

@JohnFugelsang Perfectly stated

[Rambler Mike @stimpy66]

I call for decorum, but to revisit the start of this thread, when anyone thinks that freedom means they get to act against the good of the community, if anyone thinks that someone’s work or life isn’t worth much, if anyone thinks everyone should be like them - I WILL call you out

[Rambler Mike @stimpy66]

The great thing about getting older is no longer worrying about pleasing people when I am greatly offended.

I offended many people being an unthinking loud mouth when I was younger, but when someone bit back really hard I felt a real need to reevaluate my thinking…

[Rambler Mike @stimpy66]

…sometimes I concluded I was right. Often I found I was myopic and hadn’t thought the topics thoroughly enough - bypassing the idea someone may have differing views. It lead a life of having conversations where I learned a little and they learned a little and we could get along

[Rambler Mike @stimpy66]

I miss those days. Now everyone is calcified, dug in, and has an enemy.
Every viewpoint is now extreme and people are looked at as the enemy.
Why is it like this? Why did it get this way? I’m not immune.
Even pure right & wrong is stretched beyond the limits of its elasticity

[Rambler Mike @stimpy66]

During this time I gained a set of principles that reflected how I felt but also learning to be a me that is listened to . I was in my 20s with those in their 60’s having conversations cordially showing my values while respecting theirs.
No disrespect needed. None taken.
