Oh man, that was the first album I ever bought. Going to go listen to that again, thanks.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8wR1MVdDmUA Favorite song from that album. It's about the murders of teenage girls in Ciudad Juarez. I want At the Drive in to write a song for the Ayotzinapa students because that poo poo is being swept under the rug.

We can retake symbols. We just have to use them expressly to say "gently caress off, this isn't yours and you can't have it." There is great beauty in Norse mythology. The symbols and culture are wonderful and unique. They represent a piece of European culture that was fantastical, violent, and completely divorced from Christianity. I picked my name because Freya is a god of beauty, and death. And she is known for her rage at dumb fucks. She's a leader of a tribe that once opposed Odin's tribe before a treaty was made. gently caress off, you don't own Freya. The Vanir serve beauty, and the leftist hopes for the future are beautiful. But every time I use this name or the symbols, like a nice curved triskelion to mark the passing of the season, I need to put up some leftist symbols with it lest you fukkos thing we are friends.

So gently caress Ultima Thule. Only Nazis know what that is so there is no point retaking it. Just expose the fuckers that use it for what they are.

Republicans got historically dragged to the shed, and stand to get another severe asswhipping in the next class. Of generally much younger candidates.
So, what to do? Say they can't keep the job. so that they don't have this overwhelming blob of incumbents for 40 years.
It is changing the rules because they lost.

Also, term limits are a gimmick for idiots, and mean that every candidate has only two jobs, run for office, and make contacts for their career as a lobbyist.

It makes for bad legislators, and bad laws, and means that ALEC writes all the laws they pass.

Newsflash: Nazis don't care if you "take the thing back". They're cultural parasites and will taint whatever they can get their hands on. If you knowingly decide to name something that Nazis revere - after all the poo poo we've been and are going through just in the last two years alone - then, at BEST, you're a tone def idiot. Read the loving room, they are using anything they can get their hands on to solidify themselves so firmly into culture that they can stay in the fight that has the tide turning against them.

We're trying to purge them from all corners of our political system not start a loving slap fight over names you idiots.

You really need to read a book or spend some times on a White Nationalist message board (strike that because if you're already this dumb you may join them lol), but they use propaganda and spin however they can to bolster their confidence and numbers. This is all technique they've been working on since the 30s and it's probably the only thing they're competent at. They rely heavily on mythology, psuedo-science, fear, AND HIDING IN PLAIN SIGHT. Maybe when we don't have literal child concentration camps on our soil and Nazis dumping their dumb as gently caress 14/88 dog whistles into government reports then maybe... MAYBE you have a leg to stand on with this "we're taking the name back THAT NO ONE ASKED FOR EXCEPT THE NAZIS".

To be clear, it doesn't matter what the name means to US it's about what it means to THEM. NASA is an agency of the United States Federal Government and shouldn't be even be appearing to give shoutouts to Nazis you imbeciles.

It's... problematic, at first blush I thought "Yes, if we can steal their populism appeals we can slay the capitalist dragon for this generation!"

And then I thought about it, and if we have to do it with their racist support, it is no victory at all because it'll play out as it regularly did in the 20th century, with POC and other minorities not benefiting.

I'm not willing to let that happen again, solidarity for all my brothers and sisters, gently caress Ann coulter and her broken clock rhetoric, she's a disease in our society.

The White House did not respond to a request for comment as of press time. But according to one source familiar with the meeting, Schumer did press the president to re-open the government before continuing negotiations on a border wall. Otherwise, the Senator suggested, the president was effectively using government employees and shuttered government agencies as leverage.

“I’m not going to say it’s for leverage, but I’m not going to get a deal unless I do this," the president replied, according to the source.

The Democrats in the room shook their heads, the source said, as if to say "so, you’re doing it for leverage…"

Nazis claim literally everything, from a norse mythology to a loving cartoon frog to the goddamned "ok" sign. Just ignore them trying to lift a leg and claim something as theirs. If the general public doesn't recognize it as nazi symbolism and it's not something blatant like a stylized SS or 1488 or the iron cross, just ignore their bullshit.

On Wednesday, I was sworn in as a member of Congress. I was joined by my family for the ceremony and I had the great privilege of using a Bible and 1789 Constitution as part of my swearing in. The 5th district was established on March 4th, 1789. James Madison, the “Father of the Constitution”, was the first Congressman to represent the 5th. I will try to hold myself to the high standards of Madison and the 5th district. It is an incredible honor to represent the people of this historic district in Congress.

I have pledged to operate an office with the highest standards of transparency and integrity. I encourage everyone to follow me on social media (@RepRiggleman on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram), and visit my office in 1022 Longworth House Office Building. I will also hold myself to the highest ethical standards as we serve the people of the 5th district. (Jacking it to Big Foot)

Following the swearing in ceremony, we held the first votes of the 116th Congress. On the first day of session we voted on a bill to fund the Department of Homeland Security
This bill does not provide funding at a level that secures our borders. I voted no because I ran on solving our immigration crisis through bipartisan compromise and a multi-layered approach. Shutting down the government over .11% of the budget isn’t providing solutions, it’s cheap political theater. I call on my colleagues to work with me to find a bipartisan solution to the immigration crisis.
