[FRIAM] Curmudgeons Unite!

[Gillian Densmore]

My opinion is that 45 is a douchebag. That a bunch of people drank koolaid
so as to not have him in a loonybin where he needbe. And that with the
country going to utter cluster shitshow land, now more than ever, direct
fucking vote for the sake of sanity would go a long fucking way to stopping
the utter clusterfuck those motherfuckers have created.
Real fucking crisis? like a 70 year old douchebag that basicly cheated and
tried black mail his way to POTUS, or 500 some motherfuckers more concenred
about there fucking ego rather than solving problems? that kind of Crisis?
We don't need a convoludted model to show that all this bullshit comes from
those assholes are only concerned about sucking the collective dick of
there xenophobic supporters, and living in a twisted nestalgia and senile
dementia driven form of reality than actually handling what bloody ass
fucking problems come along.
It's unbelievably sureal, hurtful, and scary, that those pathetic dickwads
would be so driven by feer of anyone not paper white,  they'd rather
instigate the same conditions that drove the Red Terror, than to solve any
actual problem. Flint: the water is so toxic it can burst into flames,
where's the marine core of engineering to help get them that, food,
housing? Estimated C02 levels vastly  beyond that of the 80s when the
science of greenhouse and vulcanization of  environments was new. Thousands
with a set of maslows beyond fucked.
But sure lets pretend that it's better to have a Theocratic Fascist
government than to solve issues that hurt everyone.
