Is history watching how we handle Gaza and Israel too?

Nothing could make me happier than the opportunity to take a hundred bucks from Musk that he himself accidentally sent to me.

Alright, plenty of things could make me happier. But it would still make me pretty happy.

I mean, assuming everyone on an instance has exactly the same views is kind of asinine. You won't find me pushing that shit. And plenty of others from ml also.

And MY fucking loved ones. And lots of other people's fucking loved ones.

My anger grows each and every day. I don't know how I'm going to make it through what's coming either from a mental health perspective or from a keeping my family safe perspective.

YOU MANIACS! YOU BLEW IT UP! AH, DAMN YOU! GOD! DAMN YOU ALL TO HELL!

My thoughts, and I would really, really love for someone to offer me a sliver of hope.

  • They only have to pick a few counties with surprising results and audit those to figure out if there's a widespread problem worth a more extensive recount, right? I realize that's still far more work than I probably realize, but I feel like it would be a good litmus test for "there is something here" or "there is not, sorry folks."

 

  • Anyone have any faith at all that Dems will pursue the actual possibility of fraud with a fraction of the verve that Republicans have pursued fictitious voter fraud?

 

  • I've been silently praying that on November 6th someone in Kamala's circle had already thought of my first bullet point above, that this is already in progress, and they won't talk about it until they are done, but also see my second bullet point. 😁

I’ve lost every smidgen of respect I had for Americans.

Says the guy who is happy to damn tens of millions of people who didn't vote for this (not to mention all the kids and such) right along with those who did.

What about his behavior to date makes you think that? I feel like that sounds snarky but I don't intend it that way.

Summary

The Oklahoma City Police Department faces backlash after body-camera footage showed Officer Joseph Gibson forcefully throwing 71-year-old Lich Vu to the ground during a traffic stop on October 27.

Vu, who has bone cancer, reportedly suffered a brain bleed requiring surgery and remains hospitalized.

The incident began with a language-barrier dispute over a U-turn citation. Vu’s family and local Vietnamese American leaders have condemned the officer’s actions, calling for his termination.

Police placed Gibson on administrative leave, pledging a thorough investigation into the incident.

"Barbarians At The Gate"

 

They're running up the steps

Blood coming out of their eyes

Pissin' into the wind

With the truth left behind

Comedy of thievery

In a red white and blue disguise

Smell of treachery

False battle cry

 

Pride and deception

Confusion dissent

Misdirection and chaos

Bangin' on the door

Bangin' on the door

Bangin' on the door

Bangin' on the door

Bangin' bangin' bangin'

 

Barbarians are at the gate

Barbarians are at the gate

They wanna live a lie on the edge of hate

Barbarians are at the gate

 

Take away the costume

Fake uniform

Arms held high

A victory dance

Chokin' in a world torn

 

Power and deception

Confusion dissent

Misdirection and chaos

Bangin' on the door

Bangin' on the door

Bangin' on the door

Bangin' on the door

Bangin' bangin' bangin'

 

Barbarians are at the gate

Oh yeah

 

Power and deception

Abuse and consent

Misdirection and chaos

Bangin' on the door

Bangin' on the door

Bangin' on the door

Bangin' on the door

Bangin' bangin' bangin'

 

Barbarians are at the gate

Barbarians are at the gate

They wanna live a lie on the edge of hate

Barbarians are at the gate

 

Oh yeah

Here they come again

Oh yeah

It's never gonna end

Oh is it

 

Everybody loses

 

 

This album came out 53 years after their prior studio album, and they still rocked it, IMO.
