I hope you don't support ICE though Mark. I'm literally afraid to leave my house. I'm afraid to be in my house too

but tbh, i was afraid to leave my house even before ICE

when I was living in Agoura hills, it was too rich for ICE, esp where I lived. but i'm in San Diego now, and I'm scared to go anywhere.

You've done it. I'm convinced. I've seen the light!Besides adjusting my blathering in this thread:Start voting for California's communist leadersSubscribe to Common DreamsSwitch from watching Gutfeld to Rachel MaddowMaybe open a daycare centerReplace the Ten Commandments with Filthy's list of utopian wishesMAGA now stands for Make America Go AwayWow, yeah that sure does make

just realizing you probably mean like Gavin newsome lol... cuz when I first read it I thought you meant actual communists like Gloria la Riva


i think mark has been an ice officer ever since obama expanded their size by 25%


Filthy, you live in San Diego!?!?!?!?! Wow.

Do you play at Oceans 11 or Pechanga?


I'm homeless. idk where(or if) i'll end up living. but I'm in SD for now.

haven't played poker at either of those places yet

I heard oceans is mostly the place to play

I'm homeless.

Didn't you have two apartments six months ago?


yeah what happened?


Hopefully just the couch surfing kind of homeless


oh yeah I'm fine. sorry didn't mean to alarm.

I haven't had two homes since 2017, and they weren't so much "homes" as rooms, with roommates, one in SF, and one in Hollywood.

I won fantasy football last year for enough money that I thought I should celebrate and rent a baller home in the Santa Monica mountains. it was nice. but I kinda wanted to do it for just a year.

just not sure where I want to live now. i decided to Airbnb in San Diego and check it out. it's supposed to be a nice place to live.


what is your income from? poker?

you play in a fantasy football league that paid rent for a year?


how many of these does Trump uphold?

I am the Lord thy God. Thou shall not have strange gods before Me.
Thou shall not take the name of the Lord thy God in vain.
Remember to keep holy the Lord's day.
Honor thy father and mother.
Thou shall not kill.
Thou shall not commit adultery.
Thou shall not steal.
Thou shall not bear false witness against thy neighbor.
Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's wife.
Thou shall not covet thy neighbor's goods.

maybe number 4, lip service to number 1 (while idolizing himself)

that's about it

MAGA now stands for Make America Go Away

stop voting for, funding, or otherwise supporting the GOP while they are actively shredding your civil liberties

read everything, especially things you disagree with

throw away your television; it's all commercials and propaganda (and increasingly, surveillance)

raise all of the children, without seeking profit

actually adhere to the TC and demand that your leaders do so as well

MAGA stands for "my anxieties gone amok"


IRS agent outs himself itt.

There is no low that trump will not go. He is a sadist and a psychopath. Also a child rapist and a murderer.


I uphold like 3 at best.

Right off the bat I have all kinda strange gods before weirdo desert goatblood addict Yaweh. I prolly got Hecate before Yaweh and Baphomet as well. I might have Chthulu before Yaweh rn, Christianity's depth as a set of interacting archetypes pales in comparison to its effectiveness as a control program.

the dao that can be named is not the true dao

YHVH <----> YMMV

"the beauty of this plan is its simplicity" (obligatory quip)

There's something there in the names and actions of the various angels, but it takes some real digging to discover it.
eta: I'm almost certain it's intentionally suppressed.

Mine is mostly dog grooming videos, gardening videos, and playing Slay the Spire on PS5. If I threw my TV away I wouldn't know what cards I have.

Propaganda is fine to consume when you know it's propaganda and have properly inoculated yourself against ideology. The best propaganda is true.

Surveillance is like air. Don't even think about it. Hide in plain sight. They can't surveil your mind.


Christianity produced the doctrine of discovery. this was back when Columbus was doing his ****. it says that that christians can take the land and property of any non christian, and even take them as slaves. that's how they justified taking the Americas, and Africa and Australia. tried to do it in Asia, but Asians were too powerful.

it's still part of USA law. supreme court cites it fairly(nothing fair about it) regularly in their decisions. the monstrous Ruth bader genocidal Ginsburg cited it in her decisions about keeping natives from trying to have their own sovereignty

you can't claim decency and be a patriotic American or a Christian, while doctrine of discovery is still a thing. and it is still a thing. the only way to be decent is to be ignorant of the doctrine. and I just told you about it, so no more ignorance.

it's a religion and a nation of genocide


you can't build a nation on racism, have a current constitution written by racists, and expect anything different from what we have going on right now... racism.

I do think greed is more the root of the problem though. racism probably mostly comes from the greed.


and i'd guess trump is 0-10 for the commandments. but who cares about the commandments lol

and everyone itt knows trump is a total pos

Now that I've told you about it, you might have to go to the Wikipedia page and learn about a "dangerous" thought experiment folks were clawing their eyes out about a few years ago.

Lots of ideas are poison. Irony. Agriculture. IQ. Nihilism. Guilt.


by filthyvermin m

the monstrous Ruth bader genocidal Ginsburg cited it in her decisions about keeping natives from trying to have their own sovereignty

In which decision does she say natives can't have sovereignty?

I looked up the discovery doctrine, and found RBG in City of Sherrill v. Oneida Indian Nation of N. Y., 544 U.S. 197 (2005) writing that the Oneidas cannot in 1998 absolve themselves of property taxes based upon a claim of land deprivation occurring in 1805. In that decision, she explicitly upholds the below case addressing the discovery doctrine more fully:

[QUOTE="470 US 226 (1985)"]By the time of the Revolutionary War, several well-defined principles had been established governing the nature of a tribe's interest in its property and how those interests could be conveyed. It was accepted that Indian nations held "aboriginal title" to lands they had inhabited from time immemorial.

The "doctrine of discovery" provided, however, that discovering nations held fee title to these lands, subject to the Indians' right of occupancy and use. As a consequence, no one could purchase Indian land or otherwise terminate aboriginal title without the consent of the sovereign.

From the first Indian claims presented, this Court recognized the aboriginal rights of the Indians to their lands. The Court spoke of the "unquestioned right" of the Indians to the exclusive possession of their lands, Cherokee Nation v. Georgia, 5 Pet. 1, 30 U. S. 17 (1831), and stated that the Indians' right of occupancy is "as sacred as the fee simple of the whites." Mitchel v. United States, 9 Pet. 711, 34 U. S. 746 (1835). This principle has been reaffirmed consistently.
...
In keeping with these well-established principles, we hold that the Oneidas can maintain this action for violation of their possessory rights based on federal common law.
...
Having determined that the Oneidas have a cause of action under federal common law, we address the question whether there are defenses available to the counties. We conclude that none has merit.[/QUOTE]

There has been genocide against the people living here, and other terrible crimes against humanity perpetrated upon them, but before you tear down RBG, look at what she actually said instead of a special-interest party's spin of it.
