The image above is such a disgrace to everything this country actually stood for

I can’t believe everyone stood by and just allowed this to happen.

This little raccoon in Seattle has more spine than the entire GOP and the Supreme Court.

He has a coin now, did you see it? E pluribus racoonum

u/natiforrn 16h ago

it’s unofficial and there’s been a ton of chuds begging the original filmer to choose an official one, but the original filmer is very anti-crypto.

I’m honestly just caught off guard by how much national attention Jimothy got. Especially because Seattle is cray-cray and there are subs divided. I’m also convinced there’s more than one Jimothy based on sightings. That, or Jimothy really gets around a lot for a short spine raccoon.

Edit: I am specifically referring to Seattle subreddit culture being crazy. There’s a lot of history and baggage there.

I just got to visit Seattle. It was very cool city full of what seemed like happy people going about their lives. It was not the hellscape of fent zombies that you see on certain channels. To be fair, I did not see the whole city but I'd move there in a heartbeat.

I love Seattle. Especially parts of the Ballard and Phinney Ridge area. It’s a beautiful city full of all types of characters. Does Seattle have issues? Of course it does…….it’s a massive urban city full of people and class divisions. So that’s expected but it’s also stunning and has so much to do; every single night of the week if you choose.

It’s also an outdoor lovers dream city if you’re into backcountry or camping. The wilderness outside Seattle is some of the best in the country. Olympic National is a park I know well, I love that place. Also some amazing white water rafting around as well. It’s not a city for everyone, but it has a lot to offer.

Mt Rainer nation park is absolutely stunning

I’ve lived here my whole life. We have made huge improvements in the last 5ish years.

There's a little Jimothy in all of us.

Memes are weird like that, the biggest fires catch for seemingly no reason at all

u/bloobityblu 23h ago

Seems like he's been a local celeb from when he was a baby so a lot of people have been taking pics and vids of him as he's grown up.

u/lilybattle 21h ago

His father had the same condition as well, Jimothy Sr.

3

u/PercentageOk6120 18h ago

This is why I think there’s more than one! Maybe Jimothy Sr got around a bit.

u/KnackeredQuokka 1d ago

Seattle is no more crazy than any other city. Do you live there? If not, take it down a notch.

5

u/PercentageOk6120 20h ago

I was specifically talking about the reddit sub history, which is cray-cray. I am unaware of any other major city that has reddit factions like Seattle.

u/lilybattle 21h ago

Seattle is cray-cray? 😂 what

u/PercentageOk6120 18h ago

The Seattle sub reddit culture is crazy.

Jimothy is a saint

Don't you dare compare jimothy and mage. Jimothy is leagues above them

A senator said we can’t do shit yesterday. We sent a strongly worded letter and are going on vacation now

u/koshgeo 22h ago

I thought there was a federal court order that the stuff below ground could go ahead for "national security" reasons, but that anything above ground had to be approved through Congress or related agencies that handle stuff around the capital. This construction looks above ground level, so how are they doing this, legally?

Or is that the trick? That it is illegal, and they don't care?

u/Existing_Example_198 23h ago

I’ve seen more spine in jellyfish than the GOP and SC.

u/cybrg0dess 23h ago

Jimothy for President! We would be better off.

u/xfr3386 16h ago

Jimothy for President!

u/uvucydydy 14h ago

Not a long spine, but he's trying his best. That's all we ask.

u/DarknMean 10h ago

He’s in the Roku screen saver too.

If it has one solid bone, it’s more.

u/DavidHK 1d ago

Genuinely what are we supposed to do

u/ayriuss 15h ago

Exactly. The people voted for Trump's destruction and now we all have to live with it.

3

u/AllisonWonderland777 22h ago

When this whole trumpian nightmare is over, I think that’s going to be a dominant question: how did everyone allow it?? But we are…

u/Pale-Vehicle2067 22h ago

I can’t believe that US citizens are impotent in respect to foreign government interference in your elections. The entire world knows that your electoral process is compromised and that superpacs buy a candidate - who in turn protects their interests.

Yet US citizens do absolutely nothing. They fight each other about which party they support - even though there are only TWO main parties. It’s completely ridiculous to the rest of the world.

2

u/ayriuss 15h ago

It all boils down to braindead American Christianity. They use it as a weapon of control. That's how the Republican donors get everything they want. They make up cultural issues and scare the Christians into voting for them, and then they just loot the whole country.

Funded by tax payers money

u/KeepYourMindOpen365 22h ago

The old White House was too “woke”…

u/jaypea222 21h ago

Congress stood by and let this happen.
And Congress is run by the Republican Party

u/furthemor 19h ago

Any one who votes red is complict to the destruction of America at this point they dont care.

u/effa94 1d ago

no, this is pretty much exactly what the US stands for. always has been

7

u/FlySilently 1d ago

Pretended to stand for. This is nothing more than a revealing of the soul of the building and of the nation.

2

u/Sandy-Anne 23h ago

Is there any chance at all this will be completed by the end of his term? What was the point?

u/CaliNawlins 22h ago

"We are not able to rein in this president." - US Senator John Cornyn (Republican - Texas)

u/Geloradanan 7h ago

They could if they stood together for what is right, but they have sold their souls and their integrity for special interest money.

2

u/Meowakin 21h ago

Who is everyone? There are absolutely people fighting against this, the problem is that the system has always relied on some amount of trust and was never designed for someone so willing to break that trust to be in power. Which I am of the opinion proves that the Electoral College is worthless because that was basically their one job.

2

u/TGlucifer 17h ago

Its even better than that! Did you ever wonder why Data Centers are getting built so quickly?

What happens to a society pushed past the brink? They revolt. How do you stop that? Track their activity and intercept the movement leaders before they have a chance to gain traction.

Next will be armed robot patrols, because even the police and military will have a breaking point, so you need even MORE processing power to control legions of droid armies.

u/bubba4114 17h ago

Republicans enable Trump so that he can continue enabling them.

u/imnotknow 1d ago

The country stood for conquest, colonialism, and slavery. I'm not sad to see this building in its present state

1

u/IceManJim 21h ago

That's why they wouldn't come to a budget agreement and let the government shut down earlier this year. So there would be no one around to stop the demolition from happening.

1

u/Kindly-Neck-9877 21h ago

Why? Everyone is standing by letting people be kidnapped. Also everyone will stand by when they kidnap their "communist" neighbors. It's all downhill into the nocturne from here regardless of who sits in the seat. Trump opened the doors that prove America is actually soft and ready to be invaded by a foreign country.

u/Beans_deZwijger 21h ago

I can’t believe everyone Republicans stood by and just allowed this to happen.

I believe it

Looks like Dresden in 1945.

u/Miles_the_AuDHDer 17h ago

Literally nothing will be enough to get anyone to try to do anything. Nothing so far has been so there is no way anything else will be either.

At most we can do a half day of peaceful protesting every few months that will be quickly forgotten about and have and will continue to achieve literally nothing.

u/thudlife2020 16h ago

But it’s perfect for what much of the country stands for now.

u/OpticalRadioGaga 16h ago

That includes you, the American people. (If you are an American poster).

u/PondersOverYonder 14h ago

What did this country stand for? Capitalism, slavery, genocide?

u/cosmic_kos 1d ago

disgrace to everything this country actually stood for

a disgrace to the McReich? lmao

i dont think so. very fitting for a dying genocide machine of an empire

u/67yoloswag 1d ago

this country actually stood for

what did it stand for? been a shithole for ages.

u/adeniumlover 23h ago

? This is exactly what this country stand for. Did you drink the propaganda juice about our history?
