Silver Tongue

marvelsmostwanted:

Obviously we’ve all been waiting for Trump’s indictment and the intensive media coverage is expected, but I hope cable news can take a breath and cover what’s happening in Tennessee.

To quickly summarize, the GOP-led legislature has moved to expel three Democrats because they participated in a peaceful protest about the Nashville shooting.

…To restate that, Republicans are kicking democratically-elected officials out of their state legislature because they exercised their constitutional right to protest.

These are elected officials who represent some 200,000 people in Tennessee. They’re being silenced.

This is not what a democracy looks like.

Here’s a TikTok with one of the representatives explaining that they turned their ID badges off and won’t even let them in:

Update: More from this representative https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZTRcX99c8/

Historical people I know who are famous for being bad at stuff but not really doing harm on a major scale:

  • Ea-nasir
  • Hegelochus

May I one day fuck up so bad that it is remembered for all time

I know about Ea-Nasir because of memes, but what did Hegelochus do?

He was an actor in ancient Greece who mispronounced a word while performing a play one time and was mocked endlessly for it

afghan hounds are such weird looking dogs it’s like if a politician’s wife made a fursona

they come in exactly two flavors and they are “35 year old midwesterner who wants to sell you some essential oils”

and “wizard in disguise who isn’t even trying”

image

WAIT I just found a third kind and it’s “your state alchemy license is getting revoked”

THAT LAST ONE WAS NOT OKAY!

people talk a lot about how wild shit would have gotten in the fire nation if zuko had joined the gaang at the end of season 2 but i think we’re ignoring that there’s a solid chance that in “The Runaway” zuko and toph would have ended up committing actual highway robbery

katara: can you believe the rest of them? you’re the only other person responsible enough to know not to pull these ridiculous scams–

zuko: oh, sokka said i’m not allowed to

katara: what?

zuko: i suggested a thing i used to do all the time when uncle and i were on the run. i don’t know why sokka didn’t like it, it’s the simplest scam ever

katara: 

katara:

katara:

katara: do i want to know

zuko: it’s the one where i point my swords at somebody and they give me all their money. worked every time.

zuko: [is asleep]

toph, earthbending him to the top of the hill away from the rest of the group and then kicking him awake: rise and shine sokka’s asleep let’s go rob some people

zuko, pulling his dao out of his sleeping bag: sick let’s go

#the biggest problem I think is that zuko and toph have by far the most experience#dealing with rich assholes and corrupt government officials and general snobby jerks#so you will NEVER EVER convince them that the people they’re robbing don’t deserve to get socked in the face and lose some money#the true toph-zuko journey#we were robbed [tags via lullabyknell]

Every time there’s a new tumblr meme there’s always people like “this isn’t funny anymore, it’s gotten boring/cringe” We are on tumblr, we drag dead jokes around so that their blood decorates the place like a children’s hospital
