    He wouldn't have wanted this!

    "I think empathy is a made-up, New Age term that does a lot of damage" - Charlie Kirk

    Which has me really conflicted. It's a really awful fashy thing to do, buuut it also makes a mockery of his memory...

    May he rot in piss.

    PS: To any US officials reading this, don't worry, I have no intention of going anywhere near your shitty hell hole of a country

    Good thing my ancestors arrived on the Mayflower.

    I'd like y'all to take a moment of silence.

    Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

    ...but the President can make any decree respecting the establishment of religion, prohibiting the exercise of other religions, or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, for any reason the Government finds convenient.

    I don't make fun of it, that's serious business.

    I bought some beer, the first one goes to the guy who shot a f*cking fascist.

    The second one goes to the guys in brasil who convicted Bolsonaro.

    Just looking for other good news to cheer to with a beer. If I don't find anything - tomorrow I will for sure find something. ᕕ( ᐛ )ᕗ
