I'm with you on this. We need people to call things like they are - warts and all - and not worry about offending people. That's part of the problem that led us to this point - denying reality to make some people feel better.

Exactly. I refuse to light myself on fire for the sake of keeping others warm.

Hope your move goes smoothly. You are a must read. There is no such thing as too offensive or spicy. Strokes are sad, but putting stroke victims in front of the nuclear codes and the senate is evil.

My response to anyone offended by Fetterdead: F U and the horse your feelings rode in on.

Thx for including the Rand Paul clip. Refreshing to hear him call out the bullshit and get it on the record. Sadly, on the record means absolutely nothing. No one is held accountable.

Thanks & have a great weekend.

Keep on being you TGC. Your point was made clearly. You are a must read.

My bioline on my canceled twitter account was something like anti-woke, anti-lbgtq+, anti pronoun, antivax, anti mask, pro life, pro racism, pro oil, pro coal, pro gun, pro meat... normally I would apologize if I thought there was some validity to criticism... my initial reaction since 2020 is to first ask is this person woke? If yes... double down on whatever the complaint is. I would like to tell Kyrie Irving why he was so wrong to apologize. He was doing so well then he caved to the woke mob.

Sound policy. He's a courageous guy. I think his no vax stance cost him a $100 million contract extension, now Nike rats cost him $20 million shoe contract or more and the ADL and nets probably threatened the rest of his salary if he didn't cave. No backlash against Amazon for hosting the "offensive" film. Just from that he has already pulled back a lot of the curtain for those willing to look. Everyone knows his apology was not sincere and forced extortion.

It might appear that skill no longer is the measurement of a good basketball player.

I hate to see good people buckle. At some point you just can't be regarded as a good person

Reasoning is pointless. They'll just scream louder.

Their feelings don't care about the facts.

I'm not offended. You're moving to a different country? Don't tell me which one as it is none of my business. Thought about doing this myself. Or, off planet. I'll see you on the dark side of the moon Good Citizen.

Friend, Citizen the Goode,

I'm frequently reminded, as via your lovely post, of that episode of Star Trek when a nazi society props up a braindead/overdrugged Federation Captain to control the people. That's Brandon, that's Fetterman in that chair.

Every time these people open their mouths, they lose more credibility. Public distrust of institutions is at an all time high, and I don't think it will return to pre 2020 levels anytime soon. Once you see these people for who they are, you can't unsee it.

We may very well witness another rigged election, but I don't think it will go unnoticed. It may take a few years, but they will eventually destroy themselves. Nobody can beat reality forever. We just have to make sure that they don't take us down with them.

The longer we wait to act, the more likely that they do take us down with them. It’s probably too late already.

It’s not too late. There are plenty of things that we can do *today*. For example —

Yes, for those not already doing so, using cash wherever possible at least slows the transition to CBDC’s. See Catherine Austin Fitts’ program for that.

I canceled Amazon a year or more ago but ended up starting to use it again. I’m very mixed about it. Bezos is no doubt an enemy of freedom, but it’s not like my local brick and mortar stores weren’t always trying to force me to comply with vaxxination and masking. Plus, many items I sought to buy simply weren’t available at local stores but could be found through Amazon. As for ease of buying crap ya don’t need, personal discipline in that regard is important no matter where you’re buying.

Very helpful with the links, though. And I hope you’re right about it not being “too late “. Unfortunately, I’ve been trying to warn those around me of the dangerous path we’re traveling for decades. The growing tyranny has always been apparent to me. Mostly all I’ve found was complacency, apathy and derision.

Honestly, I've given up trying to persuade people. It never works, and I just end up coming across as a lunatic. Suffering is the only thing that these people will understand.

It's sick, but I think that a massive collapse might be what we need to bring people to their senses and undo all of these destructive government policies.

Somehow, I doubt you come across as a lunatic. You seem quite sane and thoughtful. The problem lies with the sheep

I vote for re-naming Horse Face, Donkey Girl. Or maybe Donkey Schlong Girl. It's those ears. And that strange bulge under the creature's dress.

I'll miss your posts during your transition. Where to? Mexico is my guess cause that's

First of all, I want to say I saw nothing offensive in your post. Looked pretty factual to me.

Fetterman Speak, Maxwell's Silver Hammer, The Govenors: "Pretty Boy Floyd" Newsom, "No Bail" Pritzker, "Take Their Guns" Hochul, "Kidnapped" Whitmer. Achtung Biden and the rest of the Democratic Reich.

How can this bunch of idiots possibly win? If the Democrats win who do we report the 211 to? The FBI? The Justice Dept.? That's even a bigger "clusterf*ck"!!!!

Fetterman Speak is why I became a paid subscriber (finally, it's been long overdue). I live in the Philly area (in NJ) and the rare times I turn on regular TV stations it's relentless with Fetterman. Cumulative exposure has lead me to a Kramer/Mary Hart reaction, and your post Fetterman Speak was just brilliant (and for all the other reasons in that post, and your others).

Thanks! I can picture the nauseating local alphabet networks working overtime to drag him across the imaginary finish line. They should have twenty cumulative viewers after decades of lies, all of them in the same condition as Fetterman.

I am certain he is going to win as you say. And it will reaffirm all my beliefs. If Oz wins, then there is some other nepharious plan a foot.

💬 taking offense that Globopsycho is running a brain-dead candidate while gaslighting the public about the extent of his mental unfitness

Putting aside for a brief while that this entire offence business stinks to high heavens, ↑↑ looks like about right thing for any good citizen to be mad about 😝
