"...family members of people victimized by undocumented immigrants instead of getting victimized by Americans and corporations the way Jesus and Abraham intended."

That would have been amazing. Were there any, for real?

Also, 🤣

'And by “eat” I mean “ail.”'

I can't remember the last time (if ever) I wished I were someone's roommate this much.

Thanks Jonathan, once again for insightful NewFucking. It is important to educate people that January 6th was essentially a religiously inspired act of violence. Those of us from an ex-evangelical (full disclosure, in my case Charismatic Catholic) upbringing realize this and easily see its influence in MAGA. Rural versus urban, high school versus more education and working class versus cognitive workers are just non-causal qualities that are linked to the dominionist christian movement.

A great resource is the great podcast, Charismatic Revival Fury, by Matthew Taylor and Brad Onishi for those that want to learn more.

I received this from a friend and hope you'll feel free to share it with anyone who is like-minded:

On March 15th, many people will mail Donald Trump a postcard that publicly expresses our opposition to him. And we, in vast numbers, from all corners of the world, will overwhelm the man with his unpopularity and failure. We will show the media and the politicians what standing with him — and against us — means. And most importantly, we will bury the White House post office in pink slips, all informing Donnie that he’s fired.

Each of us — every protester from every march, each congress calling citizen, every boycotter, volunteer, donor, and petition signer — if each of us writes even a single postcard and we put them all in the mail on the same day, March 15th, well: you do the math.

No alternative fact or Russian translation will explain away our record-breaking, officially-verifiable, warehouse-filling flood of fury. Hank Aaron currently holds the record for fan mail, having received 900,000 pieces in a year. We’re setting a new record: over a million pieces in a day, with not a single nice thing to say.

So sharpen your wit, unsheathe your writing implements, and see if your sincerest ill-wishes can pierce Donald’s famously thin skin.

Prepare for March 15th, 2025, a day hereafter to be known as #TheIdesOfTrump

Write one postcard. Write a dozen! Take a picture and post it on social media tagged with #TheIdesOfTrump ! Spread the word! Everyone on Earth should let Donnie know how he’s doing. They can’t build a wall high enough to stop the mail.

Then, on March 15th, mail your messages to:

President (for now) Donald J. Trump

The White House

1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW

Washington, DC 20500

It might just be enough to make him crack or at lest stress him out.

Not my original post but someone else's great idea!

If I'm pressed for time, I will read you before any former MSM folks even if I like them. Your sense of humor helps keep me sane when reading about all the current administration's shite. :)

You’re right about using laughter throughout his spee … er, gibberish.

Would a few poo-poo cushions going off now and then be appropriate?

Reagan Democrat leadership fighting back? Don't make me laugh. Not one of our status quo Reagan Democrat leaders stood up for AOC when Nazi Homan threatened her. The Democratic Leadership has already taken one knee in my opinion. They're working on get the other knee pad on. Pretty soon you're going to be hearing them say something to the effect of, "shrinking the waste from government is a good thing and Elon Musk isn't all bad".

Here's my thing with the Democrats: Until you guys promise to deliver Medicare for All at your next opportunity, you all are neither more nor less than a big part of the problem. Waving the Constitution without standing for anything other than a kinder gentler plutocracy is also an inherently minority position, as we just saw when a hapless walking personality disorder beat your non-agenda. So, personally, I think the pending gestures are more off-putting than game-changing.

I really appreciate ideas of what to look for before going into this, that will make it easier to parse what I see.

I find TFN to be like Radio Free Europe was to the Cold War Era— for Iron Curtain countries. Only this time, it meets the need for honest reporting in the US. It is a welcome infusion of truth-saying to the dystopian news quagmire we find ourselves mucking through in the US today. With sometimes poignant, often ironic humor imbedded in its content, the information and commentary contained in TFN is a lifesaver.

Can we get the argument for laughing at Trump tonight to Jeffries asap? It’s perfect. A narcissist can’t handle being laughed at. They start going on the attack in the least Presidential ways.
