Scottie’s world today

My first brand new home cost less than my 2018 car. Then I could afford a new home, two vehicles, two motorcycles, and other luxuries on one working persons wages. Not now.
Profit is king and workers are only livestock to make the profit for the wealthy.
‘Not qualified’ is a Republican bona fide.
Anti-blackness is GOP oxygen.
White people in this picture would say THEY are the victims of racism.
Its racist white people want racist white legislators to prioritize their racism.
Media, can you do your job?

Republican fascism is here. FOX broadcasts the propaganda. Both thought they would restore past glory by scapegoating and violence.
Half the GOP in Congress will be in prison and they will still chant ‘lock her up’ because the brainless have no objective intelligence, just slogans and grievances.
Rand Paul, flunkie reject, libertarian hero.
Because of the red states forcing in person schooling with no attempt at all to use precautions or mitigate the spread of Covid, so many teachers are out sick with the virus that there is no one left to watch the kids as the parents work. Think about the sign, it is not about educating the kids, it is about having a place to park them so the parents can make profit for their employers. If it was about teaching kids than the money would have been put into making the kids and adults safe.
Just what we need, a country that can not afford to take care of nuclear weapons and did not have the expertise needed to control them having them. But they are right they should have gotten much better security promises and treaties for giving them up.
Not quite that bad. There has been some hesitation as to how far to go with sanctions on the part of Germany because they get a large part of their natural gas for heating their homes from Russia. In the middle of winter I can see their issue, but I also want to note they have agreed to go along with the sanctions.

Misleading right wing media cartoons / memes
Yes they do hate to be called out for what they are. Most racist say they are not racists. The fringe people want or need to think they are the majority and the ones with the truth.
Notice the cartoonist name. This same deep right wing person who fawns over tRump and rants against anything the Democrats want to do while promoting Covid misinformation is supporting the Canadian anti-maskers / anti-vaccine truckers. Do you wonder if there is dark money fueling all these people ranting against governments attempt to slow down and eradicate the virus?
This normally far right cartoonist is sort of correct above. But what it points out is not that Biden has fallen but that there is not one Republican willing to do the right thing for their country. It shows that the right is party first rather than the good of the country. They would see the country destroyed to make Biden fail, regardless of the cost to the nation.
How immature. The US government requires money to operate and provide services. The IRS exists to ensure that those who owe taxes pay the correct amount owed. The problem is that the Republicans have managed to shift the tax burden on to the lower incomes and poor and away from the wealthy. The Republicans have starved the agency so they can no longer go after wealthy people actively avoiding paying the taxes they owe. The wealthy want as much bad press and to demonize the IRS as much as possible so the people will try to do away with the agency in charge of making the wealthy pay their taxes. This is the right wing media doing the bidding of the wealthy to sway public opinion. Don’t fall for it. Don’t give the wealthy a pass from paying their taxes.
I noticed Goodwin never pointed out the injustice of appointing white people over qualified black women. Remember that Reagan promised to put a woman on the Supreme Court if he were elected—and he did. Was that pandering? Trump promised to put anti-abortionists on the Court, and he did. Was that pandering? Conserves are scared of a more balanced court. That’s why they stacked the Supreme Court with single minded simpletons who pander to the ultra right wing evangelicals.

And now some for fun
Scottie's Playtime 
Few years I back I saw a photo I wish I’d clipped, commented on it: a big guy, big as you, maybe bigger, kitted out in boots n’ jeans and a ca’boy hat – he looked like a working man, a hand, I’ll give him that – with six six-shooters strapped on. Had ’em on his thighs, up on his hips, in the small of his back … and I commented “why does a big guy like that need all those guns?”

Hello Ten Bears. Oh yes I wish I could find that one also. I always wonder at these macho alpha guys that talk like they stormed the beach head single handed and beat Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee before going on and killing all the enemy. Gods the daydream way they see themselves. But if they are so tough great he men, why do they need all the arms, weapons, and ammo to order a sub or hamburger? They call the rest of us snowflakes looking for safe places, but they are the ones acting like they are snowflakes in need of safe spaces.
