None of this even pretends to make sense anymore

President Trump tells CBN that President Obama committed “treason” and says he’s looking forward to Justice Department inquiries into the Obama administration. “Let’s see what they come up with.” Quick. Look. Over there. Lets talk about Obama and nonsense. Lets not talk about how the economy is tanked, the streets are full of zommers protesting injustice, Barr is about to be investigated by Congress for yuge abuse of power, 40 million unemployed, oh and 120k dead and a pandemic running wild in the red wall of the south. Lets talk about the last President committing treason for some made up bollocks. In some ways this is funny because it is so absurd. But, truly, other than the most damned of the cultist being distracted by this, at this point in the Trump horror show does he really think that this will gain traction? It may distract as an amusing aside for a hot minute, but after that people are living through the chaos of 2020, and spinning and gaslighting and trying to distract the electorate is not going to work. Not right now when people are hurting as much as they are. He is not even pretending to make sense at this point. It is insulting.

To the righties that stalk this site we have a message...



There are sad fuck righties that stalk this site. I am a regular conversation of one (at least) of their websites , so I thought as they keep popping by, I wanted to say you are on the wrong side of history you fuckwits and you have no soul when you decide that your white rightie life matters more than anyone else. Makes you look stupid in the year of 2020 when zoomers are owning your collective fascist arses. It must burn that you can no longer use your 21st Century KKK police to modern day lynch black people. I can feel your blood vessels burst at your outrage as you are being exposed for never knowing the value of a persons life. Heh. Oh and along with Trump you are fucked come November. Marvellous!

This is a voting strategy that could work..

Bolton has said he won't vote for Trump, but can't vote for Biden either, so he will write in the name of a conservative republican. Hhhmmm too tribal to vote for the only adult in the room, but knows he can't vote for the toddler in the room so he is going to spoil his ballot. This is a splendid idea and I would encourage all republicans to follow his example.

95% of Windrush victims who have submitted claims are still without a penny of compensation.

More than two years later, 95% of Windrush victims who have submitted claims are still without a penny of compensation.

@BorisJohnson
if you believe #BlackLivesMatter I urge you not just to set up another working group but to Act.

#WindrushDay


It is almost like we are being run by a bunch of white privileged racists who do not actually give a fuck about anything but their own power and privilege. If you cannot fix this after 2 years of trying there is an utter lack of will to fix it, because they do not believe that the Windrush victims matter. Not one jot. It is the same way that Boris writes articles about saving Churchill instead of saying black lives matter. 72 years ago today Windrush arrived and for those in charge of us this century I think as a nation we are run by the same section of society that thought black people third class citizens then, today for this white male pale stale privilege government, they will say all the right things about how the Windrush generation has enriched our society, but they will mean not one word of it, because actions speak louder than words and 2 years on 95% of Windrush have not received a penny in compensation.

NASCAR driver Bubba Wallce has noose found in his car's garage stall at Talladega

A noose was found in Bubba Wallace’s car garage stall at Talladega Superspeedway on Sunday afternoon, NASCAR announced late Sunday evening.

“Late this afternoon, NASCAR was made aware that a noose was found in the garage stall of the 43 team. We are angry and outraged, and cannot state strongly enough how seriously we take this heinous act,” NASCAR said in a statement.
----
The driver, who is the son of a Black mother and white father, has become an outspoken advocate for racial justice and the Black Lives Matter movement. He posted a statement on Twitter shortly after NASCAR released its statement.

“Today’s despicable act of racism and hatred leaves me incredibly saddened and serves as a painful reminder of how much further we have to go as a society and how persistent we must be in the fight against racism,” Wallace said on Twitter. “Over the last several weeks, I have been overwhelmed by the support from people across the NASCAR industry including other drivers and team members in the garage.

Surprise! Racist fascists are not going down without a fight... lost the last time, gonna lose this time. These far right wankers need to be sent to jail overtime they use the symbolism of lynching to try and suppress a black mans voice and actions in the 21st Century. They have been allowed to get away with this shit for far too long.

Did you see this picture on the interwebs this weekend?



They are literally demanding taking away their favourite thing because they are no longer being allowed to openly demonstrate their fascism while doing so. Their hatred of actual America, where average Americans live is the number one thing in their lives. Seemingly at this point in their descent into a deep well of hatred and vileness even NASCAR cannot compete.

Civil Disobedience Is Not The Problem



Zoomers have no fear when it comes to civil disobedience. And not just as they continue to take to the streets to protest, but also how they are using social media co-ordinated ways to take on the power structures, Hell just look what they did on TikTok to gaslight the President into believing nearly 1,000,000 wanted ticked to the Tulsa Rally. There is more than one way to skin a cat and I have a feeling that Generation Z are much less likely to conform to 'obedience' standards expected by the people they know are trying to steal their futures. Long may it continue!

From a Trump campaign staffer:
@JoeBiden
