As much as I agree with the idea from your Biden message that people shouldn’t judge his side of the debate based on how he’s talking but instead on what he’s talking about, I don’t think that take-away is “Biden 2020!” (Given that he funded a genocide) but that America still very much has some very ableist tendencies that we really need to work on. Sorry if I’m just being oblivious!

It's Biden 2024 because the alternative is fascism. It's ableism, racism, transphobia and homophobia.

I don't support Biden's actions on the the Israel and Palestine situation either.

But even there, our choices are an ineffective President who pays lip service to trying to talk down Israel and bring peace while still funding Israel's genocide... and someone who is actively supporting that genocide and has moved to calling political opponents Palestinians as an insult, reminiscent of the way people would be accused of being commies during the red scare. Not to mention is threatening to squash protests and deport student protesters.

“One thing I do is, any student that protests, I throw them out of the country. You know, there are a lot of foreign students. As soon as they hear that, they’re going to behave,” Trump said on May 14, according to donors at the event.

Biden needs to do far more to stop what's happening to Palestinians. His handling of the whole situation has been abysmal.

But we need to remember that the alternative is openly hostile to the Palestinian people, is actively encouraging the genocide, and is threatening to use his power as President to try to silence anyone here who dares speak out against the genocide or against Israel.

In an ideal world, we'd have better choices than these two. But these are our choices and 4 more years of Trump is completely unacceptable for everyone.

Is This Eulogy A Bad Time To Announce That I'm Running For Office?

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({});

Dearly Beloved,

We are gathered here today to honor the memory of my brother, Jim, who was taken from us much too soon. His tragic death reminds us that life is short, which is why I think now is as good a time as any to announce that I’m running for office in 2018.

Looking around the room right now, I’m seeing a lot of tears. I want you to know that I understand how you feel. I, too, am overflowing with hope at the things we could accomplish together.

Now, I know what you’re all thinking: “Tell us more. What are your qualifications?” Well, I’ll be the first to admit that I have no political experience. But look at it this way: I also have no experience giving eulogies, and yet, here I am. Jim didn’t have any experience laying in coffins. And yet, there he is.

Jim was a terrific guy. Genuine, caring, smart. Don’t we all wish our politicians could be people like Jim? Well, I’ve got good news for you. I am a person like Jim. I’m his brother.

Growing up with Jim was great. He truly was the best kid and the best big brother anyone could ask for. And after he was gone, I realized something: Even though I was second-best, in the end, I came out on top. Think about that when you go to the polls.

And speaking of the polls, I do hope that all of you will exercise your constitutional right to vote. You know, it was said last year that thousands of dead people voted in the election. Wink, wink. Looking at you, big bro.

One thing I’ve learned from Jim’s untimely downfall is that we are never promised tomorrow. So today, in addition to announcing my candidacy, I’d also like to unveil my campaign slogan: “A Promise For Tomorrow.” And if you’ll all take a moment to look under your pews…that’s right, go on, look! Free “Promise for Tomorrow” keychains for everybody! You might be asking yourself, why a keychain? Because, if you vote for me, together we can drive the future. Except you, Jim. Clearly you can’t be trusted behind the wheel of a car.

In closing, I’d like to say a few words. Two words, actually: T-shirt Gun. Who wants one? I think I see a hand in the front! POW! One “Promise for Tomorrow” comin’ atcha! Oh, sorry MeeMaw, you really gotta get that cane under control. Jim? You wanna be next? KA-CHOW! What, you can’t even catch it? Maybe if you were quicker, you’d be on the other side of this t-shirt gun.

Anyway, there’s a short reception at mom’s after this. We’ll have light refreshments.

The Senate Just Passed A Bill That Would Require Women To Register For A Military Draft

The Senate Just Passed A Bill That Would Require Women To Register For A Military Draft

On Tuesday the Senate passed the National Defense Authorization Act, voting 85 to 13. This act “authorizes $602 billion in military spending, bars shuttering the prison at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, and denies the Pentagon’s bid to start a new round of military base closings” according to the Associated Press.

The legislation would also require young women to sign up for a military draft, also known…

So now that the dust has settled a bit from this week...

Boy, people sure get weird about politics, don't they?

It suits the Magesterium to allow all kinds of different agencies to flourish. They can play them off against each other; if one succeds, they can pretend to have been supporting it all along, and if it fails, they can pretend it was a renegade outfit which had never been properly liscend.
