Grateful Dead

I've got a non Deadhead friend who lives in America. He emailed me earlier today to say he feels let down at the moment because not only has the price of eggs not gone down - it has actually gone up. He wasn't joking. Shocking what some people have to put up with.

Too Much!!!!

VGuy pointed out to me how France now wants to Statue of Liberty back because the USA has strayed so far from its core beliefs and world-role. I actually don't blame them. Our country does not deserve it, being led by total asshat fascists.

(Try to) Be Well People!

The fecal remnant in the White House will keep it though and change the torch hand to a raised middle finger 🖕

Unfortunately, that scenario is totally possible these days

As sad as that sounds, I agree.

Our country doesn't deserve the statue of liberty because we simply no longer represent the beacon of freedom and hope that we once did. It's all destroyed and in total shambles.

Dictators gunna dictate.
We, as innocent citizens, get the shit end of that stick for sure.

Shambles, yes, totally destroyed? Not yet. Love the idea that Musk saw Tesla going down fast so he made a deal with the idiot devil. Government for sale. Just lay back and let it happen, thats what Stormy said. Roberts had to step up, else the Jan 6 militia would have begun to attack more judges after the dog whistle went out. I could blame television for all this but it's too simple. More music please.

....were torched yesterday.
I would have brought smores, but work got in the way.

What's happening right now is really unprecedented in US history. We've had good presidents and bad, conservatives and progressives, Democrats and Republicans (and Whigs and Federalists). But we've never had a president openly defy court orders.

Which is HUGE. Because if the executive branch of the government doesn't have to abide by the decisions of the judicial branch, the whole constitutional system crumbles. The rule of law is over.

And that's what's happening.

Ali Velshi has been filling in for Lawrence O'Donnell lately on MSNBC and his backdrop picture of DT on the screen is hilarious. It pictures the orange turd from behind in a relatively close full torso shot of the back of his head and Don is definitely having a bad hair day. His hair spray has failed and reveals that he is cue ball bald back there and 100% of it is comb over even in the back. I've seen plenty of bad comb overs but his is most definitely the worst ever, and in his words, "that the world has ever seen". I loved it.
Cheers

I hope he isn't put on a plane for El Salvador and when the window blows out, ejected, search parties run by Starlink. I stopped joking about those Musk prisons on the dark side of the moon already, El Salvador is easier.

Ali Velshi has dual Canadian and US citizenship. But I still wouldn't try to cross a border if I were him.

In Tesla news, someone has doxed all the Tesla owners including their addresses and an interactive map of how to find them. Better trade that thing in before you are firebombed or tagged with a swastika. (not that I approve of such actions, lol)

Cheers

Ben & Jerry's has said its chief executive, David Stever, was being removed by its parent company, Unilever, in a growing dispute over the ice cream company's political activism.

It comes a month after the ice cream company accused Unilever of demanding that it stops publicly criticising US President Donald Trump.

I'll criticize him for them

Judges fear for safety amid wave of threats

And

Musk donates to GOP congress people who support impeaching judges

FFS

This is not the USA

This is a mutant bastard child of some sort

Truly incredible

The old USA died

Now the remains are molding and decomposing

....unsold teslas on lots? Sure.

The Doge-bag has created a livelihood for bumper sticker makers.
Seen on Teslas:
I bought this before DOGE
Don't blame me I'm a democrat
I don't like Elon I like the car

Cheers

Edit: That British tourist who has been held by immigration for 13 days was sent home in Hannibal Lector full on cuffs, leg irons and chains. All from a misunderstanding about her visa. That should kill tourism. Just unbelievable!

Edit 2: As if to prove my point, Germany has issued a Travel Warning for travelling to the US as one of their citizens was treated even worse than that.

Today's annual World Happiness Report places the US as the world's 24th best country to live in. That is its lowest position ever. Hardly surprising, I guess. The top 4 places went to Scandinavian countries.

I have a family member or two who have Teslas

wow.

wow.

Its gonna be great again.

....caught vandalizing teslas should be charged as domestic terrorists due to the "fact" that these events are against the government.
Last time I checked, no one elected Musk to a political position unless I missed something. He also wants to send them to El Salvador.
I really, really hate this.

...are getting deeper and deeper
as the new admin
has HOV lane
into the abyss

Sorry to be dark here:

I am regarding recent items on China, Musk, and Trump's Golden Dome boondoggle - as well as Starlink, FAA takeover, (and Doge in the overall sense) as indicating this cadre are bent on creating a [non-Democratic, clearly] government that is so corruptly entwined with Elon's tech businesses that there will be "no choice" (offered) other than to accept it and him as 'critical' to "our national security." BARF !!

Regrettably, the window to prevent all this seems to be closing rather quickly ...

....this is why MaryE created this thread.
Nothing you can post here can make it any darker strat.
Still on the box fence. Uncertainty sucks.

Editor at The Atlantic accidently included on Houti war plans call on Signal.
100% amateur hour! These guys cannot find their butts with both hands.
Cheers
Moron reporter gets Donald confused (easily done) into thinking the editor was hacking into the call, says he doesn't know anything about it, says what's the big deal, the attack was successful.

... in just about every domain.

Who is getting fired for this (my bet is M. Rubio), when ALL of them should be on the block for gross negligence.

It would be laughable, if it wasn't so 'bleeping' PATHETIC

....never forget Hilary's emails or the dreaded Hunter laptop though!
Negligence on the grandest of scales. Pretty much the Wall Of Sound of fuck ups.
The emojis were a nice touch though. Very professional. 🤡's

What a bunch of muppets. Belligerent until it goes horribly wrong, then they're all in denial or suffer an astonishing loss of memory. Unbelievable.

.....and of course the WH is blaming the journalist.
Accountability? Nonsense.

No one seems to be covering why they use Signal. Donald told them to in his last administration so there will be no record of their actions in the national archive. This is their go-to method for everything. That way you can't file a freedom of information request to find out what evil they are accomplishing. They learned this trick from the likes of the proud boys who do it so they can't be investigated for crimes. Supposedly they are to write down those conversations and turn them in to the archive. Yeah, right. Not a chance in hell. The Turd is running his mafia more like the Keystone Kops.
Cheers
Now the Turd is on TV saying, well if it isn't secure we will have to find another way to communicate, apparently not knowing about the SCIF that they were all required to be using, and have 24/7 access to.
Wait, what? Now I'm hearing someone on the chat, envoy Witkoff, was in Moscow at the time? You can bet Vlad was listening in.
Their turn to hear "Lock them up!".

ChatGOP

Remember when the big issue in the 2016 campaign was Clinton's emails? In which she supposedly committed treason by discussing classified material in an unsecured medium? Of course, that turned out to be a giant nothing burger, but ***** made promises he would 'lock her up' over it. And the whole non-scandal might've cost her the election.

By now, we've seen that ***** himself was actually guilty of stealing (no other word for it, ie taking into his possession government property he had no legal right to take) some of the nation's most sensitive top secret documents (including details of nuclear weapons type and location) and storing them in the unsecured bathroom of his resort. People have spent years in jail for lesser breaches of security.

And now we get this situation where his defense secretary, whose main qualification seems to be that he was a former FOX news pundit who spoke favorably of *****, putting his complete incompetence on display for all the world to see by discussing details of a planned military attack in an online discussion that included a civilian who had no security clearance.

Because we now live under an authoritarian regime, they will simply say this never happened. They will try to discredit the journalist, claim he's lying, claim they never discussed any sensitive material. And then sue newspapers and journalists who say otherwise. Maybe even jail a few of 'em if necessary.

The irony of this situation staggers my mind.

the United States of Hell.

People actually voted for this. FOR this.

America the Imbecilic.

Ugh.

....nor yours. I work with some. Strictly business. A sister that's one unfortunately. Strictly business. Got a neighbor or three. Strictly business.
Haven't seen charlie3 lately. Shame. Strictly business. And we all know it's going to get worse before even a sniff of getting better is in the air.
I'm done with the bullshit.
Big country wide resistance scheduled for April 5th. You won't find that news on your local news stations or MSM. Gotta poke around online for the good stuff.
My fear is that bitch boy is going to use events like that to install Marshall Law.
The produce section at the store we frequent looked pretty sad yesterday.

I don’t say much on this forum, but I hate Trump and I hate MAGA. Makes me sick to my stomach, and I am incredibly disappointed in this country. It’s disgusting. There I said it.

I concur.
Fully:

Fuck MAGA cultists and Fuck Trump along with all of his boot-licking lackey minions.

Sixtus

....Jan 6th rioters with our tax dollars.

I see that in Greenland you can buy red MAGA caps with "Make America Go Away" emblazoned across the front.

....to the US today. Join the club.
Never, in my wildest imagination.................

....new Prime Minister pretty much gave us the finger, which is perfectly understandable.
The Smithsonian is next on the chopping block.

I share your feelings brother it is just so obnoxious and dangerous already. Watch the special elections in florida April 2 should be interesting.

Fuck the USA
Fuck the US, USA

truly tragic and unbelievable times

For a scammer from Utah who completely faked an EV start-up company that supposedly had a zero emission 18 wheeler. It was actually a fake (disguised GMC underneath) and was video faked rolling down a hill with the engine off to look like it was actually running on electric. This grifter got millions from investors and now the restitution is in jeopardy following his pardon. Here's the kicker: He gave the Orange Turd a $1.8 million election donation!
Just unbelievable? Not anymore.

....there will be more.

are an utterly lawless bunch of scumbags.

I’m sure that as patriotic citizens of the USA you will be prepared to send your teenage children to Florida to work. Remember they don’t need the immigrant labour when they can exploit your children instead.

Heck... (Seth) they will be needed for the invasions of Greenland and Canada, which will be announced in ad-Vance for viewing on Starlink if you have the right app on your phone. It's not too late to order your Kristi Noem calendar, salacious poses in front of caged criminals on location in El Salvador. Obedience training included, lucky voters win a million Muskbucks.

....in Arkansas.
A horse is a horse of course, unless your Mr. Ed.
Going backwards. Literally.
I don't get it. Guess I never will.

would you know if their miracle cure is available as a suppository? 8-) because they are all such horses arses it would make it to their brains faster.
