Just read @gilduran.com's The Nerd Reich and OM fucking G, it is batshit crazy that we let these weirdo crypto-fascist tech billionaires have this much power. I knew it was bad, but when you read it all in one place, you realize how truly fucked up in the head these people are.

I am not one of those who believes that history repeats, but consider the following from Herodotus: the Oracle at Delphi told the fabulously wealthy King Croesus that if he invaded Persia he would "destroy a great empire." Croesus invaded and lost--the empire he destroyed was his own.

It's a sign of the times that AI companies are deciding whether or not to allow the military to engage in mass surveillance of US citizens and this is treated as a legitimate debate of two reasonable positions.

Never trust a person whose name is Markwayne.

So, about Texas... Crockett has wat too much main character syndrome going on and Talarico is a sanctimonious little twat. But if either of them could knock off the Republican, I'd be straight up ecstatic.

We have to impeach him.

This is 100% pure corruption and theft of our taxpayer dollars.

Trump regime set to actively start importing white assholes. This is the real Great Replacement, folks.

That’s a nice trick, since Biden wasn’t the president on Jan 6.

Unbelievable how this motherfucker set himself up for humiliation. There's a weird self-hating masochism thing going on here. His daddy didn't love him, so now he must show off his tiny weenie everywhere so people can laugh at him, which fuels the sense of unfairness and rage that keeps him going.

It's always, always projection with MAGA. Everything they accuse "the left" of doing is what they want to do -- even the Great Replacement Theory.

Hey, remember way back in the good old days, when people said Kamala Harris was just as bad as Trump and they couldn't possibly vote for her? Hows that working out for you now, geniuses?

Dean: The president is unhinged Johnson: A lot of folks on your side are too. I don’t control him Dean: Oh my god, please. That performance in front of the generals. Johnson: I didn’t see it. Dean: Our allies are looking elsewhere. Our enemies are laughing.

Why is it the Democrats' big gamble? Why is it not Trump gambling with hugely unpopular policies? Your so-called pro leftie media, folks. The truth is of course that the right always gets the benefit of the doubt.

This is idiotic beyond belief. In response to a pandemic that killed millions and was tamed using breakthrough modern vaccines, vast swathes of the US decide they want to... *end modern medicine.* Beyond delusional.

But of course, those of us who warned about this were shrill and cringe.

Went offline for two hours; two more constitutional crises showed up.

This is what happens when you give in to an extortionist. They keep coming back for more. Everybody who's ever watched a movie knows this. Our smartest professors, lawyers and business leaders, not so much. The only viable answer to Trump is "Kindly go fuck yourself, Mr. President."

As end-of-empire scenarios go it is so much more dignified to get your capital city sacked by the Visigoths than to have a bunch of illiterate rich people in their 70s doing it through a series of incomprehensible tantrums because their brains were defeated by their phones.

Hello, good people of Texas! Would you reckon it's time to hit the streets and use your 1st amendment rights in a very assertive fashion to stop your governor from nullifying your constitutional rights?

President Sharpie is just going to falsify every single thing. Also: Epstein!

If you think these are the actions of a man who's planning to *leave* the White House in four years, I've got some Florida real estate to sell you.

Orwell alert:

Remember all the geniuses who refused to vote for Kamala because she was "the same as Trump"? Guess what, motherfuckers. The receipts are in.

Who the fuck gives a shit? Can we ever just get past this gotcha identity bullshit?

AOC is right. There's only one thing ICE is going to do with this much money. They're going to arrest, imprison, abuse and remove millions of people. There are gonna be Nazi Germany scenes out there on a mass scale.

Why are we even entertaining this BS? The correct answer is: Hell no you won't motherfucker.

So, we're Netanyahu's air force now? Who's the super power around here?

So, it turns out we're treating fascism just like we've been treating climate change: – ignore warnings of experts – buy into bullshit "alternative explanations" - read "don't worry" media op-eds – deny it will really be that bad – start seeing major evidence – hope somebody does something

Pay close attention, America. In other countries, they *do* apply the full force of the law to former presidents. Imagine how much better off we'd be if we'd had the stones to do the same thing.

OK, folks, do people have to get shot in the streets for protesting and dissent before you believe that we're dealing with a fascist regime? Because if so, it certainly feels like we're just days away from that.

Why always this framing? Edit: "as the Trump administration proves increasingly untrustworthy and erratic." Stop using strong words that make these bozos look like they are more competent than they are. They're a bunch of circus clown fascists who don't know what they're doing.

This is dictatorship shit. Fuck Trump and fuck his Nazi cops. You don't have to mince words about it.Any law enforcement officer or member of the military that does this has some serious thinking to do about their morals. And "Just following orders" is not an excuse. That's well-established.

Very astute observation. This whole shit show is happening over made up stuff that never happened.
