Boston tea party 2

Thw white house?

Anyone who voted yes on the bill.

Maybe just...

More seriously: nothing, because the Gulf of Mexico has seen more than enough pollution.

How about water purification tablets? That would clean the water wouldn't it? 🤔

Bodies good for feeding the creatures there

[–] [email protected] 9 points 4 days ago

If we can stop things ending up in the Gulf, instead of polluting it -

Stop fertilizer runoff and disappear oil rigs, move all hotels back from the beach by a quarter mile or so.

If that option is unavailable, Ron Desantis, Rick Scott, Ashley Moody and Beth Bondi, Citizens United, and the gerrymandered voting district maps.

Bobbin' around like grotesque apples

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

We had the Boston Tea Party and they threw all the tea into the harbor.

I think we should name this one the Gulf of Mexico MAGA Party and act accordingly.

So jealous of my UK brethren who can ask this question

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (2 children)

The UK passed a bill on the same day cutting literally half the support money disabled people rely on and plunging 150’000 into poverty. So people across the pond may be focused on that.

Oh and the fact you can get 14 years in prison and be labelled a terrorist for saying you support a peaceful charity against Israeli genocide.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

At least they didn't pass a bill that will destroy the environment.

Yet. I think Germany will be the next one in that respect. Fuck Merz.

I am an uneducated American, thank you for sharing this. Really repugnant. This cancer is global and growing.

the hardest thing about being a socialist is spelling bourgeois

Honestly fuck the fr*nch for that one

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

Every Republican.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 days ago

I agree with others stating that the bodies of those supporting it work for me.

They don't have to be corpses.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 5 days ago (2 children)

But then you'll need to weigh them down. Pre-corpsed Republicans is cheaper than chains and weights, but I have to admit that the other method may be more satisfying.

Or concrete boots and a coast with nice tides.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 5 days ago (1 children)

Not if you’re out far enough.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 days ago

We start giving MAGAts helicopter rides?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago

Yam Tits deserves to be thrown in...

[–] [email protected] 0 points 5 days ago

Need a lot more Pinochet helicopter tours.

The government

Gender reveal powder, as is tradition

[–] [email protected] 32 points 5 days ago

Republicans, obviously. Viva Le Gulf Of Mexico.
