If we ever get our country back, Jackson should be investigated for his drug dealing in the White House. Fuck this 'demotion' shit; destroy him and every other ally of Trump. Put his ass in prison for the crimes he committed.

Contrary to what you and I were indoctrinated into at our liberal universities, the Trump administration has realized that tariffs can be used to summon money directly out of other countries' wallets, with no economic drawbacks!
While I hope this is possible for Chicago, we really don't want him invading New Orleans, either.
Vance spoke out to save the 'kid' (grown adult man) who resigned in disgrace for his naked racism. He did not have anything to say for the tens of thousands of employees his admin was firing just because they could.
I honestly wonder if this guy equates resistance against his white supremacy and misogyny as an outpouring of anti-white-male sentiment.
Trump is regularly late to these things; there was a nearly 0% chance he'd start on time. He presumably gets off on making people wait to hear the God King's voice.
As a nation, we need to have a serious discussion about the National Guard. It is a gun pointed at the American people and none of its sworn oaths or supposed values have worked to prevent that. It should be disbanded, and its resources redistributed to organizations that aren't tools for fascists.
My employer negotiated a contract with the union early 2024. They held a meeting for us salaried workers, and very explicitly said that the Trump presidency had been a much better environment for negotiating against unions. Trump 2.0 is going to be *much* worse for labor.
I'd rather see them sent to American prisons, personally. Either way, add Rupert Murdoch to the list.
Exactly. Keep the pressure on. Trump will not stick with anyone he thinks may be dragging him further down. That was the beginning of his distancing from Elon. Keep the pressure on. RFK must go.

We need somebody creative putting together a list of ways we can destroy things conservatives value. Eye for an eye. Melt down Confederate monuments; stuff like that. Obviously the Trump Presidential Library will need to be obliterated.
Old Soviet joke for today: A man walks into a newsstand every day, looks around, and leaves. After a long time of this, the owner says βCan I help you find something?β βIβm looking for the obituaries.β βThe obituaries are in the back of the newspaper, comrade.β βNot the one Iβm looking for.β
It should be our national goal to party so hard when he dies that it leaves Vance and Johnson and the rest of the traitors terrified. Let our joy convey the depths of our hatred.
Manga is as big as it has ever been, and yet this feels like a lost artform. Maybe there are still creators working in ink and watercolor and I'm just unaware? π
This is fucked in a number of ways. Did the Times of Israel just accuse American Jews of Dual Loyalty?
Two racist cops jumped a man (an American citizen) in a bar. A local police force hired one of them after he quit to dodge the disciplinary process. The feds declined to charge. Thankfully Cleveland picked up the ball and went to the grand jury, which indicted.
I think some headway could be made against Trumpism by driving a wedge between Christian groups. Remind Catholics that Evangelicals view them as idolators. Remind the devout that Trumpists are committing literal heresies. Something might finally sink in if their faces are rubbed in it.
Cassidy should be stripped of his medical license, obviously, but this represents the best chance yet for Repub senators to backtrack on Kennedy. Urge your senators to fire RFK now, before he does more damage.
Joey Mannarino, Republican political strategist, is explicitly calling for crimes against trans people in service to jailing the entire minority group, and silencing their supporters (and the medical science). Literal Nazi shit.
This is by far the funniest result of the survey. Repubs are split 50/50 on whether news anchors should be allowed to endorse a candidate. It's amazing they turned away from Fox News long enough to respond to the question.
I've got to admit, aesthetically, these banners are great. They are going to look *so* good burning when the fucker is out of power. Same reason why I support putting Trump on Mt Rushmore; dynamiting that stain off of the monument would be beautiful.
We need to hammer this home: fascist rule isn't permanent, and there will be justice. I want to see anti-ICE-recruitment ads, for instance. "Dear would-be recruits: If you commit illegal acts, even if you are 'only following orders', you will be prosecuted for your crimes."
If we get our country back, we need an official policy to strip these traitors of honors. Desecrate their graves, while we're at it. Exhume the corpses and throw them in the sea like Bin Laden.
The Trump admin stripped Zaid (and others) of their security clearance in retaliation. Zaid was part of the legal team defending the whistleblower who exposed Trump's extortion of Ukraine. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2019_Tr...
All together now: Fuck these Nazi scum
The would-be dictator in the White House has flooded the US capital with military. He attempted a coup four years ago and promises to remain in power after his term is up. He and his party are working openly to interfere with future elections. All Republicans bear responsibility for what is coming.
It's the authoritative "depending on which part of the country you come from" that always gets me. Did you all grow up in Chih-biss or Chy-biss regions?
While I understand Dem leadership's despair over the average American's ability to understand the situation we're in, I think they should probably get the fuck out of the way if they aren't going to at least *try* to resist the fascists.
I am breathlessly awaiting the day the Dems reveal their flawless plan. It'll be so interesting to learn why it was always, always the best idea to resist acknowledging the fascists for what they are. Maybe Repubs are a kind of fairytale creature, and if we pretend not to see them, they'll vanish?
Todayβs Executive Order creating a *nationwide* military βquick reaction forceβ and setting up an online portal to permit random fascist vigilantes to join soldiers is one of the scariest things Iβve seen in U.S. politics in my adult life. Why is it not getting more attention?
I'd like to think we can bully this malignant narcissist enough to get him to stop accepting treatment for whatever he's got.
I storyboarded a fan anime opening for my favorite childhood game, megaman legends /γγγ―γγ³DASH I wanted to animate the whole thing, but thatβs way too much effort. Did it in a way where I can fulfill that childhood dream and move on. Maybe one day I'll form a MAP project out of this!
It's already Wednesday morning, but as long as you stay in line, you (and the thousands of people behind you) still get to vote in Tuesday's election. You'll just have to wait. (And skip work.)
"Why can't [majority-Black city] count its votes in one night? What is [highest-ranking Black woman in city government] hiding?" the PotS asks on Fox News. The show plays on a laptop in the rapid-response tank looming above the military checkpoint you've been stuck at for hours.
Really looking forward to the Secretary of War dispatching US military forces into cities to 'monitor' the 2026 and 2028 elections.
I'm absolutely certain this would have gone over well if Pres Obama had done it, especially if he had simultaneously floated the idea that they're renaming the DoD back to The Department of War.
The cruelty costs the decision makers in the Trump administration nothing, and if they *don't* crush him, then it proves there are protections against their power. I wish him good luck, because these people will not let him live a peaceful life.
Satoshi Kon's iconic debut film PERFECT BLUE is returning to theatres nationwide in stunning 4K. See the revered cult classic on the big screen starting October 3. π brnw.ch/21wV4bF
Hateful, meaningless, and predictable. They will continue to make this man's life hell, because to do otherwise is to admit that there is shelter from their cruelty.
It would be genuinely funny if Texas Repubs started a national gerrymandering fight only to lose seats at home because of their shitty policies.
DOGE is a pile of little boys with hard-ons for cruelty. If we ever get our country back, they must face consequences for their crimes.
No, but if they ever find out my portfolio is diversified they'll try to kill it like any other diversity measure.
1/3rd of the country is out there eating lead paint because woke liberals said not to, and their temper tantrums are going to decide whether I get to retire or not.
"Father (found dead in murder-suicide alongside wife and 2 children) had brain cancer" Absolute trainwreck of writing. Whatever your style guide, you still need to convey information to your human audience!
Lots of people misunderstood the Lancet study. It's not "186k are dead", it's "even if the fighting stopped right now (*13 months ago*), deaths would climb to 186k without enormous international intervention". It's a call for extreme humanitarian aid that is only getting more necessary.
He's still a felon, so he shouldn't be (for whatever *that's* worth).
"moby dick" is how fans shorten the title it's actualy mobile suit richard
hahaha is that why the image is so bad on the right? Were they trying to obscure the fact that they're standing around inside a restaurant?
Democrats need to begin with the truth: "My opponents' intent is destruction of the public good and theft and murder of the people who live here, which poisons even the few facts they get right; therefore, there's no point in finding common ground; we should seek only to oppose and defeat them."
π This ad would have 100% worked on me.
Does the criminal sentence attached to refusing the draft impact their ability to emigrate? Lots of countries won't accept felons for permanent residence, for instance.
Turn A's biggest sin was never showing us Dianna's gaming setup. She's definitely a retro gamer, it's just unclear whether that's her taste or because she's that old.
This one probably makes more sense, lol:
But it's only August!
You're telling me a demon cored this rice?
Abolish, prosecute, imprison, blacklist. We need life-long consequences for these Nazis. Fuck qualified immunity.
A must-read, must-share piece - clearly deconstructing the shoddy science of the Geiers (who are inexplicably in charge of studies at HHS). Consider this an early warning for what lies ahead. ππ©Ίπ§ͺ www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

"Let me show you the memorabilia I'll be selling when I've betrayed our alliance to remain in power. I'll be just like my hero, the man currently murdering your population!"
I have arrived in my massive truck to tell you how dangerous this dozen square yards of gay pavement is. I collided with a sedan (killing everyone inside) on the way over, and ran over an indeterminate number of children I couldn't see, but I didn't let that stop me.
It was national news that Mexican flags were flown at pro-immigrant protests, but you'd never know there have been Nazi's openly marching the streets.
I love this (semi-) official definition for FF8's SeeD:
Seriously tempted to make this my banner
This is -- somehow -- both total bullshit *and* the correct answer.
I think we need to start saying out loud, explicitly, that we are going to put these people in prison when we get our country back. ICE is running a recruitment campaign? Okay: understand that you will get illegal orders and that when 'liberals' are back in power, you're going to be arrested.
If your Jordan is Peele: hell yeah, keep it real. If your Jordan is Peterson: you might want to reconsider, son.
I've had very little luck arguing with conspiracy theorists, but the impossibility of this is how I convinced(?) a neighbor that the moon is not a bowl-shaped spotlight. I don't think he ever settled on whether the moon is a hologram or an alien megastructure, but it was *something* at least.
I really enjoy it, but it's very different. It's only vaguely inspired by some game elements, as opposed to following a storyline or even *trying* to match the atmosphere. I treat it as a stand-alone J-horror with a Camera Obscura cameo.
Dueling gerrymanders of the country's largest states. Legal battles over cracking/packing minority districts. Legal battles over whether states need to manufacture proportional representation. It's almost as if the US is waking up to how broken its Constitution is. Sadly, it's 250 years too late.
I'd love to see TV ads envisioning a future after Trump and his fascists fall. Like, it's 2040: a Harvard grad is turned down for a job because the he attended a MAGA collaborator school. An ICE agent is getting out of prison for crimes committed on the job. There's good news for the polio pandemic
I am loving the VN series, but I don't think I will ever learn all these Japanese titles. I know Watanagashi and Onikakushi, and then I tap out immediately.

"[...] ask yourself: what did the culture and society of the time treat as no big deal?" Yes, let's ask ourselves that, Chris. Turns out, they dragged your ass back to Europe all the way from the New World to charge you with your heinous crimes.
I can't put my finger on it, but this upset Delphox looks like an annoyed Marge Simpson.
It feels like we learned all the wrong lessons from Covid. Claim 'pre-existing conditions' and those deaths won't count.

Trump Tower Moscow, it's worth remembering, is the deal that Trump was negotiating during his initial campaign, that they lied about and committed crimes to cover up.
My favorite example of this was a guy complaining that all the animals in The Jungle Book were Indian. He thought the story was set in Africa, so never considered that the thousands of people who spent years making the movie might know something he doesn't. He thought *they* didn't do their homework
I've been laughing about Starcraft pro Nal_rA misidentifying a heron since roughly 2010.
RIP L.M. Montgomery, you would have loved the Namek Saga.

If these movies were easier to recommend to people, then I'd never shut up about the dichotomy between Occult and Record. I've always been curious how Japanese fans talk about them; there are probably some really good forum conversations or blog posts out there that I can't read, lol
Under normal circumstances, Texas cops have no authority to pursue their legislators out of state for this. That's why turning to the FBI for help making arrests is so onerous.
States occasionally send their cops after quorum-fleeing legislators, and it's generally "fine"; just a symptom of stupid state constitutions. Pulling this during a authoritarian federal takeover sends a different message. Calling on the FBI is the GOP doubling down.
Saving this to my folder of things to show my boss when I argue it's unethical to work for SpaceX.
Those fools! We didn't build a second Kaaba: we created the Nega-Kaaba; an inverted Kaaba to counteract the black one in Saudi Arabia. We were so close to completing our plans, but they've drawn attention to us. Now our cover is blown.
I hope there are people in the Dem party keeping notes; lifetime appointment or no, he'll still fit in a prison cell.
