This is a test to see who judges me without reading, or thinks that calling for an uprising is ‘the least you can do.’ 😂

I will admit, I thought for a second that your Substack got hacked. I completely agree, though. We need to unite against this threat. I am also glad to see that they are losing support from people within their party.

Was there an email today (4/20)? And did I miss it? Will I still get all the free daily emails now that I am a paid subscriber? PS. Love all your posts! 💜

I was at a local rally this morning. My favorite sign was this: IKEA Has Better Cabinets!

I saw someone with a sign like that at our rally! Always makes me laugh. X-D

We had one gal dressed up pretty much like someone from the late 1700s, with the only really modern take being the crown in an international "NO" symbol on the back of the coat. ;-)

I have one thing to say to David Brooks- "You first".

Let him walk the walk. We'll see what he spends his Saturday doing- making money as a Fox News guest pundit or demonstrating at Bryant Park. I'm pretty sure I know where he will be.

I was taught that you were to fight for your rights, and to always help others to do so. Always keep up the good fight. And thanks always to God and Jesus.

Dear brothers and sisters in the Lord, there is a new hit prayer out that is topping the charts:

Our "father" who art in DC

Despot be thy name

Thy decrees come

Thy will be undone

On earth just as it is not done in heaven

Give us this day our daily lies

As you do not acknowledge your traspasses

And just as we will not forgive your trasspasses against us

Lead us not into damnation

As we rebel against evil

For thine is not the kingdom

Nor the power

Nor the glory

Now nor Forever.

Amen.

(Best said with "a rebel yell")

I was wondering! But they spelled things differently in the original King James version... ;)

Fun fact: it's been said that the committee (oy...) that King Jimmy gathered together to translate the Bible into the local language (i.e., English) thought it was a fine idea, nicely Protestant, etc., but they looked at all the stuff he'd organized for them to work from, then looked at what they knew about HIM and what he would like to see in there, knew which side of their bread had the butter on it and who, exactly, was providing the dairy (hint: probably wasn't God), and wrote things like:

"Thou shall not suffer a ... hmm; according to the original Hebrew, it's a word meaning 'herbalist' with a modifier meaning 'bad,' as in stupid, incompetent, evil, or all three. Put it all together, it means 'poisoner.' Bad thing if you're wandering about in the desert lost for 40 years and they're near your water supply."

"But this is Jimmy we're talking of here; let us never forget that. He was raised by and amongst politically strong women, and he hates and fears anyone, man or woman, who might be smarter than himself. Best change it to 'witch'; he'll like that."

"Agreed."

What did You do? Threaten to slam the Pearly Gates in Brooks's mug? Well, whatever his motivation, yeah, we'll take his opinion as a good thing. At least he is not a sniveling coward suck up like the congressional repubes.

Yeah, Brooks is correct in that SOMETHING needs to be done but the bulk of that piece was drivel. Characterizing Reagan as some sort of hero and claiming that Democrats shut down his voice was pure shyte

Of course, he’s still a piece of shit. Yes. Yes. He also called for an uprising.

Having lived in the 1990s when he was regularly on the PBS Lehrer News Hour having to listen to his point of view, he sucked then, he sucks now, only far worse. BUT, for this person to call for an uprising is EXTRAORDINARY & can only mean that even his conservative world is a target. Which means we are all targets! So, yeah, join in the protest movement now!

(PS does this mean Brooks went Woke? Please someone with editing skills add a man bun & a peace necklace to his portrait)

Maybe the Age of Reason has finally arrived! The Age of Garbage 🗑️ Pickup 🛻 needs to be implemented to ensure this traitorous regime is consigned to the shitpits of history! A- fucking- men! 📚📚🇺🇸🇺🇸🌎😡🤬🦜🎃

Everyone is vulnerable to becoming a target of the regime if they activate the surveillance system that Aaron Parnas is reporting on this morning. With this surveillance everyone's civil liberties will be under attack! At this point an attack on one is an attack on ALL. As the 3 musketeers vowed, like God, ONE FOR ALL, ALL FOR ONE! Join in the protest movement because this surveillance system will become living in the novel 1984 if this regime is not stopped.

Thy will be done, God! I am still sick with pneumonia, otherwise I would be out there in my shining armour with thy blessing as my shield, wielding thy righteous sword. I did shout from yonder mountain high and gathered and beseeched mine people to march march march in thy name. Please wish them Godspeed, God 🙏💪💂🥁🪖

Get well soon! At the protest I was at yesterday, they were making noises about another one in a couple of weeks. :)

Indeed. What is going on is not normal. Extraordinary times call for unusual alliances. We don't have the luxury of rebuffing conservatives who have a large platform and choose to defect. We need their voices mixed with ours. As uncomfortable as it is, by joining with the likes of David Brooks and Liz Cheney, the uprising grows stronger, and we can turn the tide. Only the likes of David Brooks and Liz Cheney can convince legacy Republicans who held their nose while voting for tRump. Die-hard MAGA cultists are a lost cause, but not these old-school Reagan Republicans. Let's work with these conservatives who are finally seeing the light to turn these Republicans against tRump.

They can indeed be forgiven. Once we have sanity restored, then we can discuss each side's politics and what can be done, but we have to flush this golden turd first. X-P
