ZOMG Democracy!

We’re hitting a record for COVID-19 deaths, unemployment is sky-high, another wave of evictions is hitting, the fascists are still running wild, the police are still mass-murdering Black people, but yeah — let’s impeach Trump — and find some obtuse, other-worldly reason to blame Russia while we’re at it, because what the hell.

Cripes, how the hell does that even work? The guy’s been out of office for nearly a week. If the Senate votes to convict, how do they punish him — revoke his Secret Service protection? Sieze his Federal pension? Prohibit him from running for office again? The “spanking machine”?

Another New DC Flag

By mike flugennockSaturday - November 9th, 2019Categories: Black Lives Matter, DC Local, liberty, media

Just last night here in Your Nation’s Capital, an off-duty cop shot and wounded a couple of people over in Southeast. Cripes, it’s as if they get even worse when they go off-duty; what’s the damn deal with that?

I don’t know about anybody else in this town, but I didn’t like living in the “Murder Capital” the first time around.
