    I’m pretty out of shape but I think I could probably beat Trump in hand-to-hand combat.

    I bet dollars-to-doughnuts that if we offered @mskellymhayes.bsky.social a firearm for her to do the deed for us, she would wimp out and say violence isn’t the answer.

    Push-comes-to-shove, Leftists are unwilling to commit violence, yet spread it as much as the Right does.

    Violent rhetoric is how the Rightwing MAGA extremist dipshits gained power in the first place, but the differenceis that unfortunately they actually arent afraid to commit violence because they ALL have ZERO empathy.

      Shooting Trump would do nothing to dismantle the system. There is a fundamental difference between libs whom think social ills are the fault of bad ideas or bad people and the left who look at the systems.

    I think about Earth Alliance President Clark a lot nowadays.

    There’s some really poignant lines about following illegal orders. If you like DS9 and don’t like what’s happening under the current US government I implore you to watch Babylon 5.

    Spoilers, and the clip hits so much harder when you’ve watched the build-up, but if you need convincing here’s a small sample about how topical this show still is.

    If you really need convincing here’s one of the best speeches regarding invasion I’ve ever seen.

    Posted this 3 months ago when I’d thought things had gotten bad enough. Boy, was I wrong.

    Seems there is no bottom.
