Citizens "Effing" United! [View all]

Every FUCKING warning about the absolute shit-show that pile of amphibian shit court decision would create has come FUCKING true.

Now, we have Donnie Dipshit staffers telling Retrumplican Senators they'd "better get on board with the fascism", or the richest subhuman fuckstick on the planet is; "going to fund their destruction".

That "money is speech" decision, pulled out of the depths of hell, meant that, even though VP Harris raised a billion dollars, she couldn't stem the firehouse of putrid garbage spewed on PA, WI, MI, GA and NC.

That one decision paved the way to oligarchy, and short of sane Americans refusing to participate in this economic mess, I don't see how we fix it.

If RFK Jr., Dr. Oz, Hegseth, Musk and Vivek being given dominion over our lives is not enough for a General Strike, what will be?

It is pretty simple...

Nothing will change! The fascism, racism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy...NONE OF IT...will change, unless and until we make fascism, racism, misogyny, hatred and white supremacy UNPROFITABLE to the businesses, corporations and individuals that fund and enable it.

And if I hear one more person say that X is essential to them I am going to stuff my head in a paint-shaker and press the mix button.

Imagine if the Union had said; "cotton was essential" to them.

Nevermind. We don't need to "imagine" what this country would be like if the Union had decided the economy of the South was "too important" to lose. We're fucking living it.
