An ex-DOGE staffer known as “Big Balls” could end up receiving the highest civilian honor in the United States, placing him in the company of luminaries such as Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King Jr. and Mother Teresa.

Somehow the dumbest timeline just upped the ante

Balls not so big if a gun is pointed in his stupid face.

Yeah. We're armed to the fucking teeth and no one is challenging these fascists.

MAGA neighbor came stomping down the street after I called him a fascist and his wife a fat fucking Nazi. Bring it.

I calmly walked inside for my Colt .45, left the door and curtains open, awaited his arrival. He had the sense to turn the fuck around or his wife would be a widow and his daughter lacking a father. Stand your ground state!

These people never get fucking challenged. Never. They're in their echo chamber thinking everyone is on the same page. Fuck with them. Put violence on the table, make it personal.

I'm a middle-aged white guy, easy for me to say, I know. And that privilege is exactly why I push back. I can fight the fight for those less privileged. And yes, I've made my peace with dying if it comes to that. That is not a new thought to me.

Ban in 3, 2, 1...

You won't get banned for exercising your legal right to self defense against Nazis. Nor for advocating other fight fascist violence using their legal rights.

You and me. Same page.
