“So you have Tik Tok just smashing our young people’s brains all day long with video of carnage in Gaza”
Funny how that works. Smashing the brain with Gaza, and the Epstein files, and ICE and heretofore unseen levels of financial corruption and on and on.
If the bar gets any lower, we’ll need to start digging.
I respect whoever who took this picture.
Sacrificed an opportunity to skedaddle and is no doubt now a legend to these guys. “Holy fuck, can’t believe you got that shot!”
Having been raised in the Bible Belt by boomer parents, I wonder if younger non-religious folks can wrap their head around the danger of this type of Christian Nationalism.
There is a not insignificant number of boomers cheering Trump on, not because they think he’s a great president, but because they think we are in “end times”. And here’s the crazy part - these were once good, moral people. Or at least, they thought they were. They went to church and gave to charities and voted Republican. Pro-life, pro-America, how could they go wrong?
Christian conservative boomers ARE a death cult.
This is a generation that suffered through some of the most intense propaganda known to man. They used to have drills for nuclear attacks, the same way schools have active shooter drills in this day and age. Can you imagine how a child might feel, being told that they need to prepare to be vaporized? Practicing for it? That shit left a permanent mark, and boomers aren’t the type to work through their feelings in therapy. They carried that shit with them every day through the turn of a new millennia and the load got heavier every day.
Now it’s 70 years later and the world is still turning. Boomers are tired. They’ve seen a lot in their lifetimes, and it’s all turned to shit. In their minds, it’s time for a reset of humanity anyway. When they were 40 or 50, they still had a bit of hope left. They wanted to see the grandkids grow up, leave a better world.
All of that is gone now. They feel nothing but disgust for humanity. They don’t give a fuck if the button is pushed. It’s written in the Bible anyway. What a way to go out, right? And if Trump gets a terminal medical condition, it’s all over. He’ll make himself unforgettable in history. The first president to order a full-scale nuclear war. Armageddon. End times. He’ll be worshipped like Hitler and Jesus and Regan all rolled into one. Everyone’s hero.
I find it difficult to believe that all these concentration camps were built to hold immigrants. My guess is that political dissidents will be joining them soon. Midterms? 2028? Flip a coin, but count on it.
Speaking of horses, did you know that house flies and horse flies can look almost identical, but are different species?
The possum is not the same species as the opossum. A rabbit and a hare are different species. A buzzard and vulture are different species.
It’s all about DNA. If two bugs (or any organism) can mate and produce viable, fertile offspring - that’s a species. If they can’t, then they are different species.
“Did you like that video I sent you?”
“Are you kidding me?! I LOVE that you sent me that video!”
I think you don’t even have to bump. Just turn on your hazard lights and start slowing down in the middle lane. In medium to heavy traffic, this should cause a standstill.
More info here, but I can’t speak to the veracity of this source.

Strook is a mother of eleven and a grandmother of twelve. In 2007, a Palestinian boy was found severely beaten and bleeding after escaping an alleged torture session.
It was later revealed that Zviki Strook and his friends had entered a Palestinian neighbourhood, captured a 15-year-old boy, handcuffed and beat him, stripped him, and allegedly hit him with an ATV (all-terrain vehicle) before leaving him tied up in a field. The victim escaped hours later, suffering from severe injuries.
Nothing personal to you, but posts like this one might be one reason why so many places on the internet are echo chambers.
No explanation, no analysis, no factual data or source. So, if a person unfamiliar with the context (like me) stumbles across this post, the conversation is already over. It just looks like a bunch of tribal finger-pointing (in the sense that this “tribe” is right and another “tribe” is wrong).
