#Politics As Usual

[roboe1]

Corruption at it's finest.

From on of my favorite bloggers, check it out. As stated so many times here, what less could we expect from a clan who bragged to the WEF of their own corruption? When we have someone in the Oval Office who is so comfortable with his corruption that he brags about it to members of the World Economic Forum and their audience, then we have nearly reached the pinnacle of corruption. What…

Politics as usual…

[stoneisland16]

The left is saying, “look how stupid their guy is!”

The right is saying, “look how stupid their guy is!”

No one is saying, “Holy sh^t! They’re all f*cking stupid!😳”

There seems to be no end to people wanting to come out after the fact and admit their roles in how they played a part in dividing the country for gain.

Circus Captives, Eilat, Israel, 1998.

With the inevitable return to politics as usual, the Israeli Elections circus has also returned. As vocal as we are, we remain a nation of captive onlookers, constantly in awe of how low the standard for leadership can be set.

When do the clowns arrive?

Sometimes I wish we would start calling out the performative radicalism on this site for the poser bullshit it is. "Remember, it's always morally correct to kill a cop!" "Don't forget to firebomb your local government office!" "Wow, it sure would be a shame if these instructions on how to make a molotov cocktail got spread around!"

Okay. But you're not killing cops or firebombing government offices. You are posting on a dying microblogging website to a carefully-curated echo chamber that has radicalized itself into thinking that taking the absolute most extreme position on any subject is praxis but that anyone discussing the most practical way to effect actual change is your sworn enemy. You do not have the street cred OR the activist cred to be talking about killing cops, babe.

2024 November

There are 41 Million Gen Z voters. 20% will vote. 8 Million.

But even if 67% do come out to vote that day = 28 Million. Not all 28 Million will vote for one candidate.

159 Million people voted in the 2020 for President Election. A record. Of Gen Z's 41 Million voters 8 Million are new for 2024.

You have to divvy up those 41 Million voters between 50 states. Then the same electoral college comes into play and those 41 Million Gen Zers that aren't united at all on any fronts mean even less.

Math is our friend over here.

Keep your bullshit clickbait headlines off our radar.

Faye and Henry Per Episode

1x3: Politics As Usual

Anya’s Random Note: this is the first time Faye is falsely arrested. (Also, look at how cute Henry is in his gigantic 80s glasses)

in light of the recent news that Iranian President Ebrahim Raisi has been found dead after a helicopter crash you might be wondering 'who the hell is this guy and why are so many people celebrating his death??' and i'm here to answer that!

to fully understand what's going on we need to look into Iran's history: when the Iranian revolution in 1979 happened the authoritarian king who was ruling at that time was overthrown, but the ensuing power vacuum lead to the islamic regime seizing power and establishing Iran as an islamic republic

the following years were incredibly cruel to the Iranian people; thousands of people (especially minorities) have been protesting against the strict islamic regime leading to many being jailed, tortured and executed.

and this is where Raisi played a big part: in 1988 he was part of a committee that ordered the execution of thousands of political prisoners who were protesting the islamic regime, earning himself the title of "the butcher of tehran"

do not be fooled by what the state media wants you to believe, the Iranian people are celebrating his death. he was a cruel mass murderer who has destroyed the lives of thousands of people, his death should be used as a time to mourn for all the suffering he has caused, and bring new attention to the political prisoners still being held in Iranian prisions today

because sadly the fight is far from over. many of you have probably heard of the murder of Mahsa Jina Amini back in 2022, causing a new wave of nationwide protests and establishing the "woman, life, freedom" movement. the regime has gotten increasingly cruel in their treatment of the Iranian people, especially women, but the people of Iran are not deterred and keep fighting for a free Iran.

if you want to know how you can help, please keep talking about us. the one thing the regime hates is international attention, and in the past it has been proven that international pressure has stopped the regime from executing various political prisoners. people like Toomaj Salehi are under imminent threat of execution and spreading their names could save their lives. so whether you share social media posts or talk to your family and friends about what is happening in Iran, anything helps 🙏🏼

DIABOLUS EX MACHINA

“If you act like a rock star you will be treated like one.” ―Marilyn Manson Every once and a while I pretend to be an editorial cartoonist. But being a real one is outside of my comfort zone. Coming up with new ideas for a different-actors/same-plot situation is an impossible task. Every once and a while something or someone that’s not politics-as-usual appears and some new metaphors pop…

Vote like your life depends on it. Because it does.

Added in Edit 04/11/2024: There's a reason why we now refer to the GOP and Conservatives in general as "The Russpublican Party" or "The Party of Putin". Think about that before sticking your foot in your mouth. Decent people don't like you.
