Bravo Ben!

The existing corrupt duopoly, which masquerades as a democracy, is proof that our elected officials will NEVER deliver us from this rampant evil. Bullies can only be removed by being confronted. We must loudly and openly declare that we are coming after them and then put millions of people in the streets of Washington until the entire cabal is dispatched with, one way or another. The military can decide whether they want to defend the country and the constitution or gun down millions of their fellowcitizens in the street. It appears that we have passed the point of other options.

Don’t be too quick though, I did a search and found out that Ben & Jerry’s is now owned by Unilever, a British multinational consumer goods company. Unilever bought the brand in 2000, and Ben & Jerry are actually in a bit of a scuffle with them now, since they want to buy it back, but Unilever won’t sell!

It sounds as if Ben is NOT HAPPY with what British International is doing with his and Jerry’s “ Brand “(?).

Worst is yet to come. Donald "The Beast" Trump is building a wall once again. Colossal tariff wall that is the beginning of the end for the system of down. At first the beast will pull the plug out of the global economy. The worst financial crisis of human history will pull a swarm of the banks underwater and the bank run begins. Then the beast will collapse a mountain of debt shattering the backbone of the monetary system causing a systemic risk to realize. Finally the beast will cast American citizens into a system slavery under the name of Ronald Wilson Reagan, just to "honor his legacy" count the number. After the destruction a new world order will be established in the US. And the Golden Age begins from the ruins of the world wide collapse. All of the system slaves will love it. No more cash - just digital transactions. No more traditional criminal activity. No more tax evasion. No more transactions without the "all seeing eye". Outcasts will hate the world without freedom, hope and privacy. To cover up the mess and distract the public by smoke and mirrors, the beast will engage in a war with Iran. Lies and deceit, corruption and decay, dancing on the graves will continue. Until; Black hole sun, won't you come, won't you come... I want to play a game. Time has come to opt out of the empire of filth. Live or die...

“blinking like lobotomized lemurs…” That drew a great picture!!! Those lobotomized lemurs are mesmerized by Trump and can’t focus on anything else. Lies fly out of their mouths like spittle and they never listen to a word anyone else says. Eunuchs all.

I still find it pretty spectacular that activists decided the lesser of two evils was absolutely something we could not work with and change so they decided to run full on into actions that helped this Administration take power. Not voting? Awesome. Why is it so hard to bring the Protest Vibe against velvet evil? We would have a better chance of success. Instead they stayed home and allowed the f*****g 4th Reich cause reasons. Pro tip, we can and should absolutely protest the DNC. Who told them that we can't?

Poignant Annikun! Raising hell on the old guard at the DNC is a work in progress. The “when we fight we win “ were shallow words, we demand immediate action and accountability from these connards!!

Or complicit. Their actions over the past couple of decades support a conclusion that they're complicit in the fall democracy. They always sabotage the ones who want to make real change on behalf of the people, more strongly than they oppose Trump & MAGA.

But, wait a minute... just wait a damn minute... they arrested a Jew? Isn't that antisemitism? But for protesting against anti-Christian dogma of the right that goes against the clear teachings of Christ? So... Christian Nationalism isn't Christian? Holy Mother of God!

That fact that this is happening in the USA, should scare the crap out of all of us. Thank you Ben for standing up for what is right!

Significantly poorer countries than America have no problem affording universal healthcare. America doesn't have universal healthcare because healthcare is a mighty industry there, and that mighty industry lobbies the fuck out of politicians on both sides of the line in Washington and every state capitol to boot. Not only that, the industry dumps a lot of money into election campaigns on both sides, and is perfectly happy to threaten to withdraw it if even the hint of a whisper about universal healthcare so much as threatens to be heard. And since American politicians don't have the moral courage to ban all that lovely, addictive money from campaigns, there's no chance of getting the "healthcare" industry out of American politics. So America will continue to have the lowest life expectancy for the most insanely inflated price in the Western world for the foreseeable future. $500 for a generic aspirin, folks. I'm not even joking, someone posted that section of their hospital bill online.

Problem with naming any ice cream after any aspect of the Trump regime is finding an appropriate name that's not totally unpalatable.

Actually RFK Jr. did flinch. More than flinch. Practically jumped out of his seat when the protesters interrupted his nonsense.

I really have to start buying more B&J's ice cream. Both cookie dough & cherry Garcia sound good to me.
