STFU Jon.

Just a POS alert. You know.
STFU, Jon. Eat your corn.

Not to be debated.

Good morning, Threaders, Threadheads, and all in between. Coffee is black and hot.

I have been noticing some efforts across Threads to “normalize” behavior that is designed to splinter our efforts to win the election in November, at the same time they “crack down” on those of us who push back hard against it, calling for “understanding”, and “dialogue”.

So here’s the thing…

We don’t need former republicans to save us.

We don’t need Reaganites to save us.

We don’t need antisemites to save us.

We don’t need Nazi apologists to save us.

We don’t need “blue collar hillbillies” to save us.

We don’t need propals to save us.

We don’t need Shitsteins to save us.

We don’t need Bernie Bros to save us.

We don’t need feminazis to save us.

We don’t need communists to save us.

We don’t need libertarians to save us.

We don’t need “Genocide Joe” types to save us.

We don’t need terrorist apologists to save us.

We don’t need socialists to save us.

We don’t need Cornell West to save us.

We don’t need “found Jesus” fascists to save us.

We don’t need ANY of these fuckers, because ALL of these fuckers will fuck us up, first chance they get. When someone threatens not to vote for Biden, they are telling you they will NOT vote for Biden. You better believe it. These people are NOT our friends. They don’t see the world as we do. They want one thing: chaos.

You can play their game, or you can win.

Democrats have a real hard time wining. For some reason, Democrats believe singing Kumbaya is the answer to the world’s problems. Democrats focus on stupid shit, like “wining the hearts and minds” of Trump voters, or appeasing them. And above all, Democrats are terrified of super majorities. Democrats are afraid to govern alone. This needs to change. Gloves off time.

The way we change this is to remain strong in our convictions, to push through the bulshit and build a wining block that can last enough to bring about real change, not the stupid Kumbaya crap that produces nothing, but actual change, through actual results people can feel in their lives, making them better. Changes that last. Changes that lead to palpable results.

And this means we need to really close our ranks, purging them from fifth column types that are riding along because they know only from within they can achieve their goals, which are very different from ours. Some want to bring back Reagan from the dead, some want to bring back that old Marxist dream, some just want a free lunch. But they all are chaos agents.

We need people who can demand the impossible expecting NOT to get it, not dumbfuck idiots who really think they’re gonna get it. We need people who understand this is a long game, to be fought this year and in 2026 and 2028, not instant satisfaction fucks who want it all and want it now.

We need to learn how to KEEP the win.

We need people who understand the world is a complex space, where compromise is the goal to achieve the impossible. Who realize what is at stake, and will do anything to stop it. So enough of this “understanding”, “dialogue”, Kumbaya crap. We need to fight to win, not to lose everything the day after. And we need to endure. This is a very hard battle, up hill. We need to cut the dead weight now. All it does is drag us down.

So wake the fuck up, recognize those we can talk to, but also those who are just wasting our time. In other words, use the block button here, and keep spreading awareness among those who are still unaware. And stay together.

We can still do this, but let’s do it right. We don’t get a do over this time.

Have a great hump day.

Good night. 02/24/2024

Long day.

I can’t help but to think about all we have to do, just to get a decent man elected. It shouldn’t be this hard. There shouldn’t be so many risks, so much at stake. Every election, no matter if the candidates are reasonable people, qualified people, good people, is always important. Ideas move us forward, but ideas also can drop us into the abyss. May 2024 be a lesson to all. Never take democracy for granted, and never think it reached its peak. Fight.

Good night, and good luck.

Slava Ukraini. Two years.

Good Caturday morning, Threaders, Threadheads, and all in between. Coffee and snow. Hot and cold. Story of my life.

Two years.

Slava Ukraini.

We still see war in Europe as a curiosity. Most of us, in the US, don’t understand what is at stake. The Russian invasion “started” two years ago, is something 99% of the 1% of those moderately informed think happened. I bet 99.9% of them have no clue what Crimea is, let alone point it on a map. Right…

The war started on February 20, 2014, when Russia invaded and annexed the Crimean Peninsula. That’s right. Ten years ago. What happened on February 24, 2022, was the latest episode. One that, unlike Crimea, built on the Ukrainian mainland invasion from the East, In April 2014, in the Donbas region, proclaiming the Donetsk People's Republic and the Luhansk People's Republic as “independent” states.

The idea was the annexation of all the Ukraine.

Everyone thought it was over.

The first thing the West did, was to offer Volodymyr Zelensky a safe route to exile. The whole thing would be over in a couple of weeks. He told us to keep the ride and send weapons. And the rest is History. Today, we watch as the Ukrainian forces try to replace heavy casualties and their ammunition gets depleted, and we still argue as to whether to send them what they need to save themselves, because we don’t really want the war to go on. We just want it to stop.

From time to time, so called Ukrainian allies call for the end of hostilities, and the establishment of the status quo in place after the annexation of Crimea, and the proclamation of the eastern “republics”. Back to when the Ukraine wasn’t such a nuisance. That’s pretty much the goal.

But the Ukrainian know that’s not going to happen, and if they get what they need to fight effectively, they will push the Russians back in the East, and eventually get Crimea back by force.

But we don’t want that. We want it to stop, for now, and resume “negotiations”. Like the eight years of negotiations before 2022 worked so well. All they did was empower Putin to start an all out war, aimed at capturing the whole of The Ukraine. That will not change.

Zelensky warns of the consequences of strangled military aid, but it doesn’t matter to Republicans in Congress, who buy time for Putin to advance, like the good useful idiots they are.

Things were not looking good for Russia, until September of last year, and then October 10 happened. And the world shifted its focus from Europe to the Middle East. And we get aid packages bundled together, help The Ukraine and help Israel. More likely, help none. Because our tax dollars shouldn’t go to fight wars that are really “not our business”.

It’s going to be fine.

When the Russians step into Estonia, when Islamic Jihadists blow up European or American cities, we’ll start worrying. Until then, let’s keep our tax dollars to buy bigger trucks, and more beer. Or pretend to help the homeless.

Yes, this is where left and right agree: keep the fucking tax dollars. They just don’t agree where to spend them, Cracker Barrel or Whole Foods. It doesn’t really matter.

Meanwhile, we watch the fast progression of Christian fundamentalism in our country, while some plot to protest “Genocide Joe”, to the absolute delight of the fascists who push that narrative, while rooting for Netanyahu. And the propal dumbfucks are glad to do their bidding, like the good nazi puppets they are. But don’t tell them. They get very angry when they realize how stupid they are, and as stupid is as stupid does, they just double down on the dumbfuckery.

In the middle of all this, which is completely ignored by the Mainstream Media, by the way, we are told that the moderate Nikki Haley is going to save the GOP and the country, that Biden is senile, and that embryos are really children.

It’s not hard to see through all this bulshit, thriends, but keep in mind that the mere fact you are reading this makes you part of a very exclusive elite, that is aware, informed, and mobilized.

Keep in mind we, in this little digital corner of the universe, are a few privileged motherfuckers, voicing our concerns to each other. So be sure to expand your awareness, spreading it outside, out in the world, where The Ukraine and Gaza are all but afterthoughts, and the fact we are already living in Gilead, in many States, is going by as if it’s not a big deal.

Glory to those fighting wars for us.

Glory to Ukraine, and glory to Israel.

Now you wake up. And fight too.

Good Night 02/21/2024

“What no one saying someone else should run for president instead of Biden tells you is that, right now, anyone doing that has exactly ZERO dollars on hand for his/her presidential campaign.” Lawrence O’Donnell in “The last word”, today.

The day is February 21, 2024.
257 days to the presidential election.

Let that really sink in.

Good night, and good luck.

Jon Stewart doesn’t give a shit.

Good morning, and Shabbat Shalom, Threaders , Threadheads, and all in between. Coffee sure is helping this cold morning. I need lots.

Love is on the road, again. No trains to catch, Brooklyn or otherwise… And 30’s long gone, thirty is thirty away, but something’s changed since. Love is on the road. Get your coffee. Rise. Walk with me.

Forty seven. He was 47.

When he was born, I was riding a swing, with my mother, wearing a Bicentennial t-shirt. Yes, in Portugal, I shit you not. It was my favorite t-shirt. And now they killed him.

Jon Stewart doesn’t give a shit. He told us to do whatever the fuck we want, vote for Trump, vote for Cornell, write in Bernie Sanders. It doesn’t fucking matter, he told us. Everything will be fine, meaning as shitty as it always has been. And now they killed him.

But Jon Stewart doesn’t give a shit. He told us Biden is senile, and demanded us to ask questions, and video proof of intelligent life in the White House. Because his favorite kid isn’t running again, what’s his name… Oh, yeah! Bernie Sanders! That one. Jon told us he’s the one, so vote or don’t, fuck it, he told us. And now they killed him.

The economy is great, and we keep on selling weapons to Israel and the Ukraine, and it really pisses Jon off.

Jon Stewart doesn’t give a shit. 133 days. So much to do to bring them home, but we should just tune in to the Daily Show, every Monday until November, so he can tell us we should stay home, and let the chips fall where they may. Kinda like they had it coming to them, Jon kinda told us. Who gives a fuck? As long as he makes us laugh. No, as long as we watch him laugh. What a pathetic little man you turned out to be Jon. And now they killed him.

And Jon Stewart doesn’t give a shit.

Alexei Navalny was 47. And they killed him. And Jon Stewart doesn’t give a shit, just another clickbait freak, after all. Just sit back and relax, we’ll be fine. There are some mass shooting jokes lined up. You’re really gonna love those! But don’t vote for the senile old man, he told us. No, not Trump, the other one, he told us.

And now they killed Alexei. And Yulia Navalnaya gets a standing ovation, and Jon gets busy writing a joke about it. Now that they killed him.

Jon Stewart doesn’t give a shit, anymore. And I find myself looking for evidence he ever did. I remember when he crucified Tucker and Begala, and now all I can think of his sending Jon a bow tie. It suits him well. Yeah, I am having a hard time. I am bracing myself for the show he gets Rashida Tlaib as a guest. Oh, it’s coming! From the river to the sea, it’s coming, isn’t it, Jon. Don’t answer questions with no question marks. They’re called statements.

Jon Stewart doesn’t give a shit. Our kids are being swallowed whole by a society with book bans and gun shows, and Jon told us to stand back and stand by, for another Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Cause you gotta watch him laugh at us. Fucking white privileged trash you become, Jon. But you don’t live in a trailer, do ya? Such bulshit, man. Such waste. Watching you laugh. Watching you laugh at us. Fuck you, Jon. And now they killed him.

Jon Stewart doesn’t care.

This is what we will become, he didn’t tell us, if we do as he did tell us, and don’t vote. Or go ahead and vote “present”, you know, to amplify the silenced minority he speaks for, while we watch him laughing. You’re a real good will ambassador, Jon. Oh yeah, I give you credit for standing with the 9/11 first responder survivors. Like I give credit to the broken watch in one of my drawers, twice a day. No, Jon, really. Fuck off. And now they killed him.

And as they killed him, I can’t help but see Justin Jones in his place, or AOC, disappointed that I am. Or even that POS Tlaib, whom I suggested being airdropped into Gaza, along with all the propal dumbfucks. And I know, Jon, I made a funny too, suggesting a parachute less airdrop, but I was kidding, a bad joke cause you gotta laugh, right Jon? Laughter is good, no doubt. Laughter carries us through dark times, too. But not when the laugh is on you. You don’t give a shit, Jon Stewart.

This is where we are heading. This is what we fight against. This is what keeps us awake at night. And you just went ahead and added to it, instead. I was so happy you were back, Jon… I really was. I even promoted your comeback. I couldn’t wait for February 12, at 11 pm, Comedy Central, just like old times. And then you went ahead and laughed at me, Jon. Why would you do that, man? I trusted you. Damn…

Fuck you, @thedailyshow.

Fuck you, Jon Stewart.

Happy Friday, everyone.
