      1. The voice of white peepo has some thoughts on the marihuana.  Just what is the conservative argument against removing cannabis from Schedule 1 and making it federally legal?  This white hatriot seems to be comfortable with extending the runway on the War on Drugs Colored People.

  3. Colorado judge doesn't seem shy about expressing a judgment of a Colorado Nazi. 

    AP: Man gets nearly 20 years for Colorado synagogue bomb plot

    Judge Raymond P. Moore set the 235-month sentence for Richard Holzer, 28, and imposed a 15-year term of supervised release.

    Throughout the sentencing trial, Moore expressed harsh criticism of Holzer’s previous statements to undercover FBI agents and social media accounts — describing Holzer’s life as filled with violent and hateful imagery.

    “It is one of the most vulgar, aggressive, evil crimes that can be committed against an entire group of persons,” Moore said….

    “The notion that he’s turned some corner is fantasy,” Moore said before listing the swastikas found in his jail cell and supremacist symbolism in his signed letters from jail.

  4. This man is a national treasure…

    Willie Nelson Can’t Wait to Get on the Road Again

    You might think that Willie Nelson, at age 87, would enjoy a chance to slow down his constant touring, after decades of playing about 150 shows a year, two weeks on and two weeks off. But when Covid-19 shut down live performances last year, the self-proclaimed “road dog” didn’t repair to his Texas ranch or his Maui home to relax and wait things out. 

    “This is the worst time of my life,” he says. “I have never been this frustrated. I try to think positive, but I feel like I’m in jail—I can’t go here, I can’t go there—and that really pisses me off.”

    Mr. Nelson remains strikingly prolific, averaging about a new album a year while also writing books. He also oversees a SiriusXM channel called Willie’s Roadhouse and two cannabis companies: Willie’s Reserve, which sells a range of products with THC (the principal intoxicating compound in cannabis) and says it operates “under a simple philosophy: my stash is your stash,” and Willie’s Remedy, which features hemp-based “wellness products,” including CBD-infused coffee, tea and lotions.

      1. Boebert's audience … I think I can see 4 masks.  Nobody's going to tell them what to do….

         

        I'm starting to wonder … will there be another element to the demographic decline of Republicans, with more of them dying than Democrats, minor party members or the unaffiliated?  So far, the casualties among the minority and poor are likely to have greater impact on the Democrats.  But as vaccines are administered to the willing, will Republicans' "choice" rationale reverse that trend?

      2. I guess we are the party of “no”, Michael.

        No racism, no homophobia, no injustice, no poverty…like that.

        To her, we are no more than a barrier to her freedom to seek those conditions

    1. What an avoidable tragedy. I can imagine any one of a number of my MAGA neighbors reading that and thinking this is what’s the  best thing about America: this little girl has the freedom to sell lemonade to keep herself alive. Try that in Cuba! They’d literally draw inspiration from this story and think the ‘system’ is working  

      Per this particular situation,  Alabama is making sure poor folk each have only their own lemonade stand to look forward to. 

        1. And when you have too many lemons?  Give the problem to a black woman.  They seem to be the only ones who can fix this white mess.  Here's my Sunday sermon…

          Hazel Johnson, the mother of environmental justice, was Catholic

          She was a community activist.

          She was an ambassador of Altgeld Gardens.

          She was an early mentor to Barack Obama.

          She was a "thorn in the side" of the Chicago waste industry.

          She was a wife and mother of seven children.

          She is the mother of the environmental justice movement.

          For more than 30 years, Hazel Johnson worked to clean up her corner of Chicago's southeast side. Her relentless advocacy made her a fixture in local news, and her story has been told in profiles and books and kept alive among her peers in the struggle for environmental justice. But one aspect of her life that's been less explored is her faith.

          Hazel Johnson was also Catholic.

          "It was her faith that got her to the place where she is today," said her daughter Cheryl Johnson.

        2. OK…<two> sermons: 

          Op-ed: We Need to Get Food Industry Dollars Out of Politics to Save Our Democracy

          While tens of millions of Americans are struggling to put food on the table and pay their bills, many of the world’s largest food corporations are lobbying against one of the most powerful tools we have to fight hunger, poverty, and racial inequality: raising the minimum wage. Corporations such as Pepsi and McDonald’s invest heavily in promoting their concern for essential workers and initiatives to “empower” communities of color, yet they hide behind trade associations like the National Restaurant Association, which is fighting tooth and nail against the Raise the Wage Act currently being considered by Congress.

  11. Well, isn’t that . . .

    . . . umm, I dunno’, . . . biblical ???

    (Anyone seen if Franklin’s slaughtered the fatted calf, yet?)

    and, while we’re on the subject of gilded spuds, it’s . . . 


     

    . . . MR. PRESIDENT Potato Head! (. . . Hasbrosib be damned . . .) 

    3. I think this figure is a gigantic spoof on the former guy and the Qberts (male and female) of this country. It is a body of a Munchkin in clown clothes carrying the Good Witch's magic wand. This would fit right in on the set of an Elton John concert.

       

      1. Oh, sure, it’s obviously a spoof, . . .

        . . . the hands are way too big!

        . . . and a realistic Ttump idol would have Ted Cruz kneeling at its naughty bits.

        (. . . all that, plus this moron-worship-bait was reportedly made in Mexico.)
