“Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside in a cloud of smoke, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming “Wow! What a Ride!” – Hunter S. Thompson
Hunter…loved the guy, this quote has always stuck Joel, he actually penned a piece of it as a teenager, it’s an interesting study in various adage and alterations through the years though!!
While I always enjoy "CTTE," this one is...perfection. Spot on. Flawless. It makes me wish I still lived in the States so I could go right out and start causing some good trouble. Instead, I'm stuck across the Atlantic, watching in horror and dismay as my home country circles the drain. The part that hit me the hardest?
"And if this country goes down swinging, it will not be for a bloated orange man with the emotional range of a toddler and the tiny, quivering hands of a disgraced mall Santa caught shoplifting his own perfume."
We’ll take care of the nimbyism, along with the ethos of chaos and fuckery for you Dina, splashing in a bit of trouble in your name …Liberté, égalité, fraternité!!
Outstanding! The moms with signs made of pizza boxes and heartbreak really hit me! You are a gifted writer and thinker. We need all hands on deck. Let's write the 2025 revolutionary handbook!!
We the People fought the Revolutionary War of their lifetime armed with muskets and cannon against the great British Army & Navy - and won.
We the People are fighting the Revolutionary War of our lifetime against the Sadistic 47 + his Cruel Cabal (Vance, Thiel, Miller, Vought, et al) + his Criminally Complicit Congress + his "SCOTUS on speed dial" - and we will win.
How? Join with people like us who do things like this turning a Protest into a Project!
Will I see this Revolutionary War won in my lifetime? I don't know. But I'm fighting anyway.
More!
