THREAD:
If Biden forgives $10K in student debt, and you have decided you won’t vote for democrats because you want $50K, I have a favor to ask. And I’m being 100% serious.

1/ Call up a parent of a slaughtered student or a loved one at Robb or in Buffalo, or a family member of someone at Sandy Hook or Colorado or AME, and tell them you’ve decided to help elect republicans who will keep allowing mass murders because you didn’t get enough debt relief.

2/ Then speak to a friend that’s a member of the LGBTQ+ community and explain to them how you’d really like to help preserve their right to marry who they love but you just can’t because you *only* got $10K free dollars.

3/ Then I’d like to you chat up a rape survivor. We all know one. Tell that person that as much as you’d love to vote for more democrats to protect Roe, you simply can’t be bothered because you deserve $50K instead of only 10.

4/ After that, you should call up a teacher you know and inform them that you’d rather see them underpaid and armed than have to vote for the democrats because they wouldn’t give you $50K.

5/ Then speak to a Dreamer. Any young amazing immigrant here since they were babies and you’re super sorry that your actions will probably mean they’ll be deported to a country they’ve never been to whose language they probably don’t speak but you won’t stand for a $10K gift.

6/ Then call a parent who has lost a beautiful trans child to suicide because they couldn’t talk about themselves or their families in school and let them know why you’re supporting the other side this time. Because that’s what this is. Not voting is a vote for republicans

7/ Just look any of them in the eye and justify your reasons for not being able to pick up a pen and vote on their behalf this time around. That you have to turn your back on them because you still have some loans to pay that you’re gonna have to pay anyhow if you help the GOP.

8/ Or maybe just ask them if that would be okay. See if they understand. Maybe explain how important it is to you.

Of COURSE I want $50K in debt forgiven, but am I gonna sell out everyone I love if we don’t get it? Fuck no, I won’t.

9/ And ABSOLUTELY advocate for more debt relief if that’s what you want. Call or write to Biden and your reps and demand more. But before you advocate for not voting, I BEG you to take a moment and think about how your actions will impact someone other than yourself. END

Credit Card Companies use policies to regulate the sale of porn on the internet. Why not guns?

Come on 1%. Show us the way.

You CAN do it.

I got nothing else.

I think the MAJORITY of Americans know what is coming...an Election in November.

Our duty is to motivate as many of them as we possibly can to get out and vote the GQP murderers out of office.

We can prevail.
We MUST prevail.

The War started in 2016.
We can really start end it in 2022 IF WE DON"T GET APATHETIC.
Give President Joe, Nancy and Chuck REAL majorities and the crazies WILL crawl back into their bloodstained hovels.

WE CAN DO IT

K&R for TRUTH

He is a cold reptilian monster.

Hardly a shred of humanity in ANY of the speeches.

Moscow mitch has a heart of brass.
Colder then a polar bear's ass.
In November don't give his GQP party a pass.
Send them packing: they are all sociopaths.

The World IS Watching, America. And they want to help.

Especially love the call out of Moscow Mitch and his 50 reThugs.

Seems like the shit is falling on THIS new Generation's shoulders. They seem energized; fellow oldsters, let's give them all the hands they need.

And require ALL Gun Owners to purchase potentially expensive Liability Insurance just like on a car

Shotgun - cheap.

Traditional hunting rifle (single shot, non automatic) - cheap.

Handgun - Bend over baby, it is going to hurt.

Assault Rifle - 1% only need apply.

Get convicted of a DUI, a violent crime, domestic abuse, under psychiatric care etc. - You are fucked, no soup for you.

Faith - YES. Religion - NO. I am a proud agnostic.

(Rant on)

In my opinion, Organized Religion is a historical tool used to control the little people so those in power can get rich.

The Egyptians practiced it - the powerful bred incestually while the little folks struggled and died to move large stones to build their monuments.

The Romans used it - those faithful rich folks whose gods were in favor at the time watched the poor slaughter each other in the Gladiator Ring.

The brutal Caliphs in the Middle East used it to control the nomads who were the backbone of their many Jihads and died in droves to obtain an unprovable 'Paradise'.

The European West had 1500 YEARS of the Catholic Church being in charge and the result was The Dark Ages of Human Suffering and Knowledge.

Now the Evangelical Sects are trying to do the same thing to the USA in the 21st Century - so that what is left of Human History (not much since they deny Climate Change - maybe a few centuries) will be dark and brutal for most humans - only providing sanctuary for the 1% in control.

Faith on the other hand is a Human Emotion that all of us have access to equally, and can IMPROVE all individual lives, not control or destroy them.

(Rant off - this is all my opinion only - as always others are free to believe what they believe - that is after all, FAITH. And I will respect those views as long as they do not promote violence, bigotry, misogynism, or harm to others.)

AG Garland, or any US AG for that matter, is NOT going to prosecute a President, sitting or not...

unless WE THE PEOPLE put extreme public pressure on them, their party, the ENTIRE Government, and the press once the incriminating facts are laid out.

Hell, President Ford, a devout Christian believer who sincerely believed in an afterlife, told his friend he seriously believed he was going to go to Hell for pardoning Nixon, but he did it anyway.

Ford SACRIFICED his SOUL so that a President could be above the law.

And Ford is considered by most to be a "GOOD" Rethuglican, and most all agree he was definably a good person.

We NEED to provide AG Garland cover by protesting publicly and peacefully but loudly, enough so he has the excuse that he is just following the Will of The People, (not the Will of the Campaign Contributors.)

AG Garland is a good man just like Gerald Ford was, but he will need cover to prosecute a President and his 1% supported powerful minions. (Example 2 of the 600 are Bezos and Musk and they are TFG supporters - so the 1% is behind all of this mess.)
