Oh, and, as I said before: More people *didn't* vote for Trump than did. 1.49% of the *voters* does not a 'mandate' make, except in the febrile brain of a MAGAt.
You're just saying meaningless words that your script tells you to say, but about which never a thought has lingered. What *exactly* is 'leftist fascism'?
p.s. Bullshit that 'democrats did nothing useful.' They supplied weapons to Ukraine, they imposed sanctions on Putin and Russia, unlike what Trump is doing. But, by all means, continue to demonstrate your ignorance of the last 15 years of history.
And thus your ignorance of history is made manifest. And no, the Mueller Report is not a hoax. The hoax is saying stupid things like 'The perpetual lie..." Fewer people voted for Trump than didn't, so the 'We voted...' is just ignorant bullshit.
In those capable of rational thought, that should cause some serious cognitive dissonance. The fact that it doesn't serves as a example of Modus Tolens: If P, then Q: not Q, therefore not P.
A tiny bit better. What you're trying here is called a 'thought stopping cliche'. You don't want to talk about the clear fact that Vance is cozying up to Putin, so you're trying to distract from the issue with bullshit irrelevancies. Deal with what Vance said. Not with what other's haven't.
Mike Johnson makes clear that when Congress returns next week he's going to work tirelessly to cover up the Epstein files
Well, I don't think it's about him dying or anything like that. It's him getting ready to do something truly outrageous, like trying to cancel the midterms and prepositioning troops to quash dissent. However, if he did die, they could be called in for the purpose you've stated.
LOL! Good advice!
That statement verges on the incoherent. Typical MAGAt misfire.
Amen! From the top, to the bottom. And I think one place to start will be civil suits against ICE/CBP agents
It's 'about' prepositioning troops for a coup.
That is a *stunningly apt* metaphor!
Yes. Most of evangelical (and now Christian Nationalism) movement in the U.S. is explained by these observations. Better to believe an easily formulated falsehood that makes the world simpler to understand than to confront the complicated nature of nearly everything.
I agree, we can't despair. But that doesn't mean I don't feel despair. I just don't let it control me.
Agreed. What's so sad and disturbing is that the majority of people clamoring about how Trump is giving them 'freedom' and protecting 'liberty' when he's quite obviously doing the exact opposite. It's the blindness that disheartens me.
So true. It's just that, before 2020, I thought something like 10% fell into that category. Now, with what happened with Trump 1, Covid, Jan 6, and now Trump 2, measles, RFKJr, ...., it's pretty clear it's more like 30%
Exactly what happened in Germany in the 30's, Italy in the 20's, and right now in Poland, Hungary and Russia. Seems some people of a particular political proclivity are predisposed to having authoritarians run their lives for them? Perhaps they actually don't really want 'freedom' or 'liberty'
Hilarious!
Generally it's only particular genocides, namely the Jewish. But the fact that they deny it doesn't always equate political beliefs that could get them labelled 'Nazis'. Anti-semitic, absolutely. And some of them do deny other genocides. Rwanda. The Armenian Genocides. Depends.
Not exactly. Not all Holocaust Deniers are Nazis.
You know who also hates _The Diary of Anne Frank_? Holocaust Deniers.
Here’s what was NOT released today: - the proffer agreement between Maxwell and the DoJ - the agreement transferring Maxwell to club fed - communications showing who waived Maxwell’s sex offender status allowing her transfer and possible work assignments outside prison - the Epstein files
Speaking of how education can free one.... 'It enhances individual agency and autonomy, which is why the enemies of freedom and any open society works so hard to restrict what is taught and also susceptible of institutions of higher learning.' Joseph Stiglitz _The Road To Freedom_

Gee. Trump lied. What a surprise!
Yet more proof (as if you need it) that the Right-Wing media outlets are fucking liars!
Exactly!
🤡 Witkoff: Russia’s so-called “concession” is agreeing not to seize the whole of Ukraine
If this isn't naked fascism, what is?
No. Point out that the entire machinery of the ruling class, state and federal, from legislatures to courts, supported slavery and most of the people in the South supported it and white supremacy. The overwhelming majority of those southern supporters were white. Complicity implies guilt.
A thread. This is the wrong way to rebut this claim. The fact that only 2% (or 3%, or whatever the number is) 'owned' slaves is irrelevant. The proper way to rebut the claim is that the society supported slavery. Explicitly in the south, implicitly in the north. 1/
Ahhhhh! some good news!
Jesus these people are delusional!
Given Trump's war on science, that the report would be so biased is hardly surprising.
LOL! John Christy, Ph.D. Judith Curry, Ph.D. Steven Koonin, Ph.D. Ross McKitrick, Ph.D. Roy Spencer, Ph.D. That's a who's who of climate skeptics, and denier-adjacents.
The ones who *used* to be the intelligent segments of America are either drunk with the prospect of power, or have been driven underground.
I'd love to know how they're going to provide mental health services in special circumstances of their 'crackdown' when they're not available when there isn't a crackdown. Face it, they're just criminalizing homelessness. So much for 'Christian compassion'
BTW, an upshot is that voter participation was reduced in the 18-23 age group and among African Americans, two groups whose voters the GOP have always wanted to limit. 2/3 www.gao.gov/products/gao...
I then found a GAO report (so, that's from the U.S. government) from 2014 that discussed the effect of such laws in Arkansas and Kansas compared to other states (see the link below) and asked if it could research and report on these results, and it said no. I find that **very troubling** 2/
If you're not on threads, here's the content of this post I asked ChatGPT for the effect of voterID laws on voter participation and it said that it was prohibited from providing such results by the policy of OpenAI (its owner). Later I'll link to the chat. 1/

I've been crying in the wilderness for *years* that the Democrats should be doing what the GOP has been doing and working from the bottom up. Now we're all paying the price.
Ron DeSantis tells Abbott: “Hold my beer!” as he hops on the mid-decade gerrymandering train & calls for a new census. My latest on the recent Fla. Supreme Ct. decision that empowers DeSantis & why you should pay attention to your state court judges. youtu.be/pkkpgxJM_AU?...
The GOP has completely abrogated its responsibilities.
When asked about what makes Karoline Leavitt a good press secretary, Trump said “those lips” because he’s a gross old man.
Vance isn't a Catholic, he's a Christian Nationalist. His theology has already been called out by the Pope.
Spot on. He'll come back for more, now that he recognizes they're a 'soft touch'.
Absolutely! Then knew they were going to lose. It's just political theater to distract the mindless base.
Good. The Trump DOJ wanted a single day!

That is an interesting question!
They're in a cult.
It puts stuff on the record.
ICE deports Florida pastor's wife even though judge issued stay of deportation order. She was denied her medication—shackled by wrist, stomach & ankles, leaving severe bruising. Daughters: "We paid everything they asked us, filled out forms, and not skipping anything.”
Fuerza responds to scenes where alleged ICE enforcement is reported. If officers are indeed with ICE, they hit record and spread the word. They also speak directly with those being detained. They are part of a growing scrappy network of volunteers protecting neighbors from ICE. bit.ly/4lgke5N
Exactly this. Netanyahu's motivations are the same as Trump's in running in 2024: stay out of jail. Therefore, he will do nothing but seek distraction after distraction: escalation after escalation.
Hang in there. The wheel of justice sometimes turns slowly, but it will turn.
It would be classic Trump to get involved in a war to cover up for the fact that the war started against his wishes. Policy never matters to him. The country's interests never matter. What's right never matters. How he feels he is perceived always does.

I'm not at all surprised. If it's anything the right does well, it's ignoring the advice of "when you're in a hole, stop digging'. And the faux earnestness is absolutely disgusting!

Like all fascists, the Trump administration is trying to stop the dissemination of scientific truth it finds 'uncomfortable' and 'inconvenient'. (pun intended)
If a day after Butler Kamala Harris was "just asking questions" about how it happened and the extent of Trump's injury it would be the equivalent of what JD Vance is doing today.
Yeah. And his first inauguration had the largest crowd in history.
Bribery in plain sight.
Thinking about devastating cuts to NSF: US gov-funded science has been the engine upon which most of the tech wealth was generated. But the oligarchs (currently hoarding much of that $) think it’s their own brilliance & not the accident of standing close to the scientific engine that made them rich.
And he did before the election. Biden may have been slow, but he was coherent. Trump hasn't uttered a coherent sentence since years before he got into the race in 2015. I've seen interviews with him from the 90s and he was coherent then. Not in 2015 though.
Things the president of the United States said on meet the press today: He doesn’t know if he has to follow the constitution He’s fine with a recession Americans can do with less Small businesses are just “a couple of little businesses”

Remember how horrified we were w/kids locked in cages, Muslim ban, overturning Roe v Wade, disappearing people. Now, perp-walking judges. Soon arresting journalists. We're creeping toward full-blown authoritarianism. Wake up
Let's be clear -- Trump is nothing more than a shill for whoever will pad his wallet.
Yes! I have a 1988 Toyota, the precursor to the camera. It's a 1/4 ton pick up. It's sitting in my driveway and at least once a month someone comes up and ask if I'm willing to sell the truck I tell you, if somebody created a company built a truck like that they could make a freaking killing!

I love the fiction of any sort of 'discipline' in anything Trump does, but if it is to be claimed that it exists, it can only be as a 'veneer'.

I had to euthanize the dog in the front a week ago today. Still trying to deal with the pain. Here's his 'baby pic', he was 2 months old. He was so sweet, and the best trailing I've ever seen. And he was pretty good at HRD too.
