Not insane when you consider sheriff Bob fucking Norris is still in charge, even after siccing 6 of his nazi boys on a woman at a town hall meeting in February.
This piece of shit moved to Idaho after 20 years with the LA County Sheriff’s Department, where he finagled $150k annual disability, and has been drunk with power since he became sheriff in 2020.
Impressive that the archdiocese has the bandwidth to fire a widower for his gay marriage, while simultaneously juggling their bankruptcy in order to dodge restitution to the 600 raped kids.
Looking at the linked map, the raped states are:
If these 11 states were to secede, they would have a fiscal advantage because many of them give billions of dollars more in federal funding than the non-donor states receive.
They would also take with them all access to West Coast ports, as well as all western USA water rights including the Columbia River and the Colorado River. Of course, Mike Lee would need to be ejected. Preferably from a canon.
It had launched 4 or 5 years before I joined, so I wasn’t really legacy. I came here to the fediverse when Christian announced the Apollo fuckery, and it was like leaving a collapsing pile of flaming trash to breathing fresh air with good people. Those /r/ stories don’t need to be here.
Reddit is a cesspit. The first time I posted a comment there ~ 15 years ago, someone answered by graphically describing how he would violently rape me.
Since 2017, Utah’s Mike Lee has been on a mission - this time not Mormon - to demolish National Monuments. He began in his own backyard, targeting Bears Ears and Grand Staircase-Escalante, for fossil fuel drilling. He’s been colluding with Trump for 8 years to hand over millions of acres of protected land to oil and gas.
Strange things are afoot at the Circle K
Ollie North is also the face of the US government’s war on Central American democracy, the brutal consequences of which affect the Americas to this day.
The protester was among tens of thousands of people who took to the streets for the demonstrations across Southern California and the rest of the country.
Tens of thousands? There were over FIVE MILLION protesters.
E OVER THIRTEEN MILLION protesters - thank you, Lucidlethargy
What would you do to hitler before the genocide if you knew what would happen?
While we all like to imagine that a time-traveling assassin could prevent WWII genocide and atrocities, the reality is that nazis didn’t appear in a vacuum. Do you believe that eliminating trump would end what’s happening in the US?
Video shows it gained what appears to be less than 200 feet after takeoff, and it looks like the pilot couldn’t get the nose up. It remained intact until it struck the medical building. The entire flight was just a few seconds.

Public education in the US is a system of propaganda-loaded indoctrination designed to stifle critical thinking.
California, Oregon, and Washington are all donor states that contribute a combined ~$160 billion more to the federal government than they get back each year. They also make up $3.1 trillion of the GDP, they have all mainland west coast ports, and they’re major agricultural states. They’d honestly be better off if they banded together to Bugs Bunny off.
It’s 1800 miles from Yaviza, Panama to Oaxaca, Mexico, and these little munchers made it in 2 years.
Oaxaca to Brownsville, TX is 766 miles, so the US could see them arrive in a few months. Seems speedy to me.
Fun fact:
The extreme shortage of medical specialists is a direct result of the US government cutting 1960’s federal funding that had been established to incentivize education in specialties.
The medical professionals who became specialists because of this funding are now dead or too old to practice, the government has seen this coming for decades, and nobody in congress really gave enough of a fuck to address it.
It’s ok, everybody. The insurance companies are contracting with 3rd party companies and using AI to make decisions, so we’re all good.
We can thank Senator John “but he’s a good guy” McCain for cramming this fucking land transfer into a 2014 Defense Department spending measure, under the guise of national security. So glad we’re safe, now.
Or maybe you’re prescient. Roving bands of cocoa robbers who surround armored ice cream trucks is a plausible dystopian scenario in the US, and now I’ll be disappointed if I don’t get to see it.
Why are US americans against helping each other?
There is no simple answer to your question. Generally speaking, the US ethic is largely built on a foundation of rogue settlers who were encouraged to take what they wanted by force and duplicity. Whether it was the attempted (and ongoing) ethnic cleansing of the tribes, or total destruction of the environment, or massacring fauna to extinction, or the brutal subjugation of African people, early americans operated at a level of entitlement, ignorance, and the absolute belief in a zero-sum competition.
This mindset has been useful to the people in power, and it has been frequently stoked to manipulate a large minority of the population into a fearful and angry existence, effectively preventing a cultural shift that embraces social enlightenment. Even the US education system is designed to perpetuate the propaganda while preventing critical thinking skills and empathy.
Interestingly, even the most virulent USers, on an individual basis, exhibit selective social welfare tendencies, while still maintaining their cultural bigotries. To be fair, most US americans are in favor of social welfare. The rich in the US, who are in control, will always fight reform, because it isn’t profitable to them.
