Well, the fascist pigs have won the big 'red wave' victory that you wanted so bad. Congratulations.
But remember: when there is no democracy anymore, when your voices mean nothing to the authoritarian dictatorship that will follow, when all the promises of prosperity are revealed to be the absolute lies that you were told, over and over again, were indeed lies, remember: we didn't vote for a pathological liar, career criminal, rapist, pedophile, and traitor like Trump. When your wives and daughters are forced to have a rapists' baby, or die due to complications during pregnancy, or are denied the medical care they need to survive simply because the fascist pigs you elected to Congress and state governments decided to drag medical care back to the Dark Ages, remember: we told you what would happen, we warned you over and over again, and you didn't listen. When you or your family members or your parents, in their declining years, find they're completely without any way of affording medical care and die, don't come crying to us so-called 'liberals' because the fascist pig authoritarians you elected decided to take it all away. When you're making so little money and paying so much more in taxes so that The Rich can pay nothing, and you can barely afford your rent and food to eat, remember who you voted for and how they lied to you.. When the United States is ruled by a puppet getting his orders from Moscow, remember: you were warned, and you chose to ignore that. When the enemies of America, for all intents and purposes, take over control of this country, remember: you were told how bad the people you supported were, and you ignored it.

So far as I and many others are concerned, Trump and the rest of the fascist pigs you've supported deserve to die, and if there is any justice in this Universe, I hope the forces of chance in this Universe see fit to dole out horrible deaths to every last one of them -- and all the misfortune all of you deserve for supporting them.

I, for one, hate all of you for what you've done to my country. You've destroyed something that was once great, and that now will just crumble into nothing. Enjoy your so-called 'victory' while you can, I guarantee you it won't last long. I for one will have nothing but pity for you all when you realize the breadth and depth of all the things you voted away in your wilful ignorance.

Goodbye.

IS THIS THE AMERICA YOU WANT TO LIVE IN?
Choose carefully.

Me? Harris/Walz 2024.

The poorest states should not dictate spending policies for the rest of us.

The states with the highest maternal and infant mortality rates should not dictate womens healthcare for the rest of us.

The states with the lowest educational statistics should not dictate what gets taught in school for the rest of us.

The states with the highest levels of gun violence should not dictate gun safety for the rest of us.

Better yet, you can get a voice in our government when your state receives less in federal assistance than it puts into it.

No more participation trophies. Conservative policies are better, you say? Prove it by not being the worst states by every metric that be measured.

RIght-wing extremists on Slashdot are crybaby losers who have been chased out of everywhere else on the Internet that actually matters, and apparently Slashdot is so under-funded and under-staffed that they can't be bothered to chase them out of here, too.

Meanwhile Trump is not going to be elected again, will be going to prison for a long, long time -- assuming that is he doesn't face a firing squad for treason, that is -- DeSantis is such an out-of-control piss-baby (as is Gregg Abbott) that even those who voted for him can't decypher what the actual fuck is going on in his addled brain, and even staunch Republicans are starting to wonder why the hell they voted for the jackasses, idiots, and criminals they've stuck themselves with in Congress. Brainless fenceposts like Boebert and Greene make a mockery of our entire Government every time they open their mouths on the floor of Congress, and the entire Republican Party is completely impotent and ineffectual, spending all their time on pointless minutae and none on actual issues in this Country. Yet, right-wing extremists keep doubling-down on their mindless nonsense (Hunters laptop! Drag queens! DEMOCRATS BAD! blah blah blah) it's like they've all been eating lead-based paint chips as snacks for years and years. The very Poster Boy for the Republican Party, Mitch McConnell himself, shows how effective they really are: by having a mini-stroke in the middle of a press conference! How hilarious was that! But they think they can run the Country? LOL, into the ground, that's how they'd run it, LOL!

I call on Slashdot adminitrators to clean up Slashdot, and weed out all these right-wing extremist, nonsensical, wastes-of-bandwidth accounts, find the actual owners, and permaban them as well. Slashdot used to be a bastion of excellent tech news and discussion, but now it's become a sewer rivalled only by 4chan.

The so-called 'conservative' party here in the U.S. has generated into nothing but a bunch of gaslighting, seditionist, traitorous, terrorists and criminals, many of which are mentally and/or emotionally unbalanced, and posessing sub-normal IQ. They are no longer fit to participate in our government, or really be in any position of authority or power.
Additionally, if you vote for Republicans for any reason whatsoever, you could also be considered a seditionist and/or traitor; you are contributing to an organization which has nothing less than the overthrow of our Representative Democracy.
So it's time to disband the GOP and bar them all from running for any public office ever again. The U.S. is better off without them.
After that we can start rounding up the 'christian nationalists', 'white supremacists', so-called 'proud boys', and the rest of these terrorist and criminal organizations, and put them in prison where they belong.
Of course all this starts with Donald Trump being arrested and thrown in Leavenworth for inciting an attempted coup -- among his other crimes, like election tampering, fraud, and so on. Also looking forward to Ivanka finally coming out with how he sexually abused her as a child.
So remember: if you vote Republican, you're voting for people who are about as anti-American as you can get.

A couple months ago I got both the Moderna vaccine shots, had a few days of reactions to it, but felt it was worth it for the peace of mind knowing my risk of getting the virus again was reduced to an infinitessimal amount.
I was also relieved that there was so much of it available and it was FREE to everyone, so we could get out of this horrific situation and back to something like normal lives.
After a few weeks I didn't have to use a mask on my face anymore in public. It was great! So imagine my surprise and dismay when I learn that the county I work in, and probably the county I live in soon thereafter, will be requiring masks again in public -- and all day where I work.

So I wanted to say a special 'THANK YOU!' to all the goddamned motherfucking CHUDs out there who refuse to get the goddamned shots, and all the CHUDs who are anti-vaxxers, and the CHUDs who go around scaring people into believing that the vaccine will kill them, make them gay, make them into robots, make them sterile, make their KIDS gay, sterile, want to be transgender, autistic or whatever else the CHUDs in this damned country I live in are using as an excuse to not get the goddamned shots or that others should not get the goddamned shots! THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH FOR THE DELTA VARIANT AND HOW IT'S DRAGGING US ALL BACK INTO MASK-WEARING HELL AGAIN, YOU STUPID FUCKS!

Tell your congresspeople to stop rewriting voting laws to obstruct non-white people from voting, then!
You can growl at me all you want but I and many others see what your congresspeople are doing, and it's flat-out bullshit, Jim Crow-era bullshit.

Our species is capable of amazing things, aren't we? We may not be able, not quite yet, to go to Mars ourselves, but we build amazing machines we can send there as our proxies, to gather data from another world, and who knows? Maybe we find evidence, for the first time in human history, that life existed somewhere other than Earth -- or perhaps we find life extant on Mars. How much would that shake things up for us, and how awesome would that be?

Meanwhile, however, there is a big fraction of our species who would have us give up all this exploration, give up the never-ending search for real facts and real truth, instead just going round and round in circles on this one little ball of rock and water we call The Earth, until our species dies and goes away, forgotten by the Universe, fading back into dust and nothingness.

WHY SHOULD WE EVER LET THEM HAVE THEIR WAY!?

Just sayin'. Make of it what you will.

Yes, that's right: You got what you deserved when Biden/Harris were elected.
Why?

• In 2016, you did not have anything even close to a viable candidate, so what happened? You ended up with Donald Trump.
• Trump is a pathlogical liar, a cheat, likely a criminal, an inciter-to-sedition-and-treason, a racist, a sexist, and most definitely one of the biggest assholes in American political history
• He proceeds to put little kids in cages, steal money from the military to build ridiculous border walls, destroy regulations protecting the environment, sanctioning destroying federal land for profit, gutting the Federal scientific community, filled the Federal courts with right-wing sycophants, and got a religious nutjob appointed to the Supreme Court
• He ignores and denies the entire coronavirus pandemic to the point where it's so completely out of control that we're still dealing with it and likely will be dealing with it for at least another year or two, when any sane, non-idiot would have immediately taken the steps necessary to GET it under control
• Last but FAR from least: As part of his 2-year-old mentality temper-tantrum, whips his nutjob supporters into such a frenzy that they ATTACK OUR GOVERNMENT TO TRY TO KEEP HIM IN POWER

..so OF COURSE he doesn't get re-elected! Who the hell can stand this bastard for four more years!?
So you get Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, and you know what? We didn't vote for them because they're necessarily all that great, we voted for them because ANYONE IS BETTER THAN MORE OF DONALD GODDAMNED TRUMP!

YOU DID THIS, Republicans; YOU!
YOU and your 'party' all have your heads so far up your asses that OF COURSE you can't come up with anyone worth voting for!
NO ONE wanted HIllary Clinton either, but for fucks' sake it couldn't have been as bad as Trump!
But you remember this: YOU DID THIS. YOU GAVE US BIDEN. ***YOU***. Because YOU couldn't come up with anyone better than Trump to begin with.
So now you get to suffer through the next 4 years.
And likely 4 more years of Biden/Harris after that, because your entire Party has it's head so far up it's ass that you STILL won't be able to come up with an electable, competent, non-corrupt, non-criminal, non-seditionist, non-asshole in 2024.
And likely 4 to 8 years of President Harris after that, ***UNLESS*** you can get your gods-be-damned act together, GET RID of the jackasses in your Party that can't manage to get their heads out of their asses, and GET A CANDIDATE THAT IS NOT A JACKASS LIKE TRUMP.

For FUCKS SAKE, even one Bush or the other would've been better for the ENTIRE COUNTRY than Trump, and that's saying something.

So remember: YOU DID THIS. YOU ARE THE REASON WE HAVE BIDEN. YOU, REPUBLICANS.
Now go fix your shit. Stop being assholes. Stop being racist. Stop being pigs. GET YOUR HEADS OUT OF YOUR ASSES.

Impeachment or not, Donald Trump should face criminal conspiracy charges for inciting the riot that turned into an attack on the Capitol.
Furthermore he should also be sued, along with the rioters directly responsible, in civil court for wrongful death.
Basically, 'Lock him up!'. Poetic justice.

Not my words, mind you, but seems to ring true.
By all means, can we clean up the mess we've made, please? We need the general public to have trust in science again.

Too many people, usually, it seems, your 'extremist' types, howl about how their 'freedom of speech' is being violated.
However I'd like to point out that what they're really saying is they demand to be heard by everyone, whether anyone wants to hear what they have to say or not; THAT IS NOT 'FREEDOM OF SPEECH' AT ALL.
You can SAY anything you damned well please, but you CANNOT FORCE ME OR ANYONE ELSE TO LISTEN TO IT!

If you're thinking about 'visiting' your State capitol next week on the 20th to 'protest' the inauguration of Biden, and are planning on going armed to the teeth, think about this first: If you all start Civil War 2, ALL THE ENEMIES OF THE UNITED STATES WIN, AND WE ALL LOSE.
Stay home, and think about the choices you've made that has led us to this sad, dark moment in history.
ENOUGH IS ENOUGH. Down the road some of you want to take lies only chaos and ruin. DON'T.

Literal INSURRECTION at the U.S. Capitol by Trump 'supporters'
Is this what you gods-be-damned stupid motherfuckers call 'Making America Great Again'!? Indiscriminately attacking the seat of our government!? REALLY!? REALLY!?!?!?

THIS IS ALL TRUMP'S FAULT. HE ENCOURAGES THIS BULLSHIT.
ALL of them need to be charged wtih SEDITION. TRUMP needs to be ARRESTED and charged with TREASON.

If YOU call yourself a Trump supporter and YOU think this LITERAL ATTACK was justified, THEN YOU ARE LITERALLY A TRAITOR AS WELL!

Fuck you people, sideways with a rusty chainsaw. YOU are DESTROYING AMERICA, YOU MOTHERFUCKING BASTARDS!

Here is a picture of the leader of the Congressional traitors to the U.S. Constitution.
Ted Cruz is at the top of my list of so-called 'Republicans' who have abandoned their oath of office, disregard the Constitution, disregard the will of the American people, and only care for their own personal power being protected and preserved at all costs, regardless of the consequences to the country they've sworn to protect and serve.
Ted Cruz needs to be REMOVED from office as soon as possible, along with the rest of the Congressional traitors.

Get your head out of your ass, GOP. Clean up your house or pack up and go home. 'Partisan politics' has made the United States a laughingstock to every country on the planet. In Beijing, Pyongyang, Moscow, Tehran, the Taliban, ISIS, Boko Haram, and many others, they're laughing their asses off, throwing parties, celebrating winning the war against the United States, without ever having to fire a single shot or sending a single soldier against us, all because our so-called 'legislators' in Congress are focused entirely on their re-election and apparently not at all on what's best for the United States as a whole.
Enough is enough. VOTE THEM OUT, VOTE THEM ALL OUT.
