A book filled with killer jokes is a DieJest

If it IS domestic terrorism, it's time for law enforcement to crack down on these groups.

Guantanamo is nice this time of year. I spent a year there in one month back in '81.

There's been a lot of talk today about Henry Kissinger's upcoming 100th birthday, but I've yet to see Anthony Bourdain's quote about that war criminal scroll by, and it can't be shared enough.

“This one, at a mall in Allen, TX, complete with the requisite dopey congressman offering thoughts and prayers, presumably to the Jehovah of the Bible, always a convenient break from worshipping their two true gods: AR-15 manufacturers and the gun lobby.” open.substack.com/pub/mattlaba

Do you remember Jack Abramoff?
Black Jack the lobbyist? He went to jail for violating lobbying laws. There is a law called the JACK act that toughens disclosure laws for people who lobby government agencies.

Clarence Thomas and his wife Coup plot Ginni are a DC crime wave couple who violated all the disclosure rules in the JACK act. Turns out she also received $$$ and was instructed NOT to disclose it-

There goes the “I didn’t know i had to “ excuse.

If #ThoughtsandPrayers worked, Trump's belly would swell with gas every time he told a lie, and within a day he would have Violet Beauregarded to a terrifying size before popping like a cheap pork sausage.

@DemocracyMattersALot We have a Vietnam worth of gun deaths every year in America now. Thanks go out to the NRA and weak-willed, elected republicans, who are getting the constant carnage of their dreams.

“We’re on pace for close to 600 shootings, and perhaps 60,000 willful, malicious, or accidental deaths (there’ve been 20,200 so far this year, according to the GVA, in the first four months-and-one-week of 2023). That 60,000 is roughly equal to the number of Americans who died in Vietnam in nearly a decade. “

@yoused Don’t forget to add a profile, and perhaps make an introduction post.

@AlliFlowers l was giving it some thought the other day and had, shall we say, an epiphany.

Religion can make a believer feel really good. Not just emotionally, but also physically – I speak from 1st person experience. When you do the math, it is no different in sum than booze or sex or heroin or street racing, including all the negative side effects.

Proselytizers are truly no better than drug pushers or pimps and desperately need to be set on level footing with suchlike.

What if we just consider “desire to own an AR-15” a mental health issue?

Once again, Congress must send me a bill banning assault weapons and high-capacity magazines. Enacting universal background checks. Requiring safe storage. Ending immunity for gun manufacturers.

I will sign it immediately. We need nothing less to keep our streets safe.
