Well, here’s a wild idea.

Look up one Jerry Falwell. He wanted to take over the Republican Party and get them to do what he wanted. He started small and smart. Every local political party, D or R, does small events to make choices. Who is going to be the next county clerk or sheriff? Who is going to be our delegate to the next convention? If the usual attendance was twenty people, Falwell’s folks would show up with fifty. Eventually all those county clerks turned into Congress members, and then Senators.

You local Dem committee is probably in shock right now. Fifty new folks coming in could bulldoze them.

We were in a class talking about X-rays. One young woman kept insisting that ‘opaque’ was a color. We finally figured out that she had seen opaque pantyhose and been confused.

Blackwater changed it’s name to Academi recently.

The same people are there and they’ve got a much better plan in place than you do.

If the current system collapses, they’re going to be ready with specific plans and the money to make them happen.

You guys couldn’t outthink the DNC and the DNC is much weaker than Balckwater.

Exactly.

In fact, what’s more likely to happen is that China and Russia go to war to pick the next top dog.

Anyone who didn’t vote for Harris is just as guilty.

Well, I’m in the polar opposite of Bumhole, Australia.

Good luck with your endeavors.

Invest in yourself.

If you like the job you have, see what career training will help you advance.

If you don’t like the job, invest in figuring out what career you do want.

I’m a native New Yorker. All the best places here are also getting grabbed up by rich folks from overseas.

None of the rich care about things like nations or peoples. There’s them and the peons who serve them.

The best non-creepy way I’ve found to compliment a random woman is “That’s a great look.”

I’ve been hearing people talk about ‘revolution’ since I started learning about politics.

There was no revolution in 2000 when the Supreme Court upended the actual vote.

There was no revolution in 2016 when the guy who got fewer votes got in.

If all the people who were talking about revolution had actually hit the streets and organized we could have had Bernie in office by now.

If there is a revolution it’s probably going to be the Right going full fascist.

You’re just beating a dead horse here.

Everyone here understands what a ‘communist revolution’ is.

Who do you think sits on the Boards of Directors of these companies?

Think of the French Revolution. The English hated the French with a passion, but when the revolutionaries started killing the aristocracy the English lords were suddenly pals with their counterparts.

The people who left Cuba after the revolution hated Castro and the Communists. Many volunteered for the failed Bay of Pigs invasion. They indoctrinated their children.

“I’ll try and be more professional in the future.”

This way you’re not judging them or yourself, you’re saying you understand that there’s a code of behavior the bosses expect everyone to follow.

You’re putting the cart before the horse.

You’re never going to get upper management replaced by AI while upper management controls who gets paid what.

Blame Florida. The post Castro wave of Cubans still exert a lot of power. They’ll destroy any pol who tries to ease tensions. And since Florida is an important electoral state the embargo is enshrined.

Trump could have pardoned everyone arrested on January 6.

His people just aren’t very smart.

Trump gets caught in a lie.
