What the far right has figured out is that if they can construct an artificial social environment where they're seen as more numerous, strong, and popular, and their enemies seem few, timid, and dominated, many people will side with them, regardless of what the respective parties are actually saying

On a deadly serious note, the President cannot rely on external, private sources to fund spending as an end-run around Congress’ constitutional power of the purse. If he can, we no longer have a republic.

Idaho prosecuted the FBI sniper at Ruby Ridge for manslaughter.

A different DA then got elected and dropped it, but that was after the Ninth Circuit said he didn't have sovereign immunity and could be tried on state charges. It's a high bar to clear but it's not impossible.

Here me out:

MAGA was always referrig to Ante Bellum.

The White House thing is such a disaster for them. The most potent political emotions are mass anger, visceral disgust, sense of lost, and nostalgia, preferably supported by images, and somehow they’ve triggered all of it at once. And now it’s gone, can’t be stopped, and they have to build a palace.

Pro Tip: Canada is not your enemy but the greasy, drug addicted money-laundering bald mfker who made his own daughter give him lap dances and just spent the week tearing down something that didn’t belong to him is, also he knows nothing about economics. Tariffs will wreck USA.

There’s $5 billion sitting in SNAP reserves right now. The money’s there.

The Administration just decided feeding families matters less than bailing out Argentina.

Almost every major news story this week is about how the entire economy is now gambling, scams, bribes and theft.

From the people that pretend to be Christian, they hit a clergyman directly while protesting.

They’ve gone from attacking marginalized communities to attacking the community in general. Now they are openly attacking religious institutions.

“Starting on Day One, we will end inflation and make America affordable again, to bring down the prices of all goods.”

—Donald Trump, August 2024

Steve Bannon says ‘there is a plan’ for Trump to be president in 2028 Former Trump advisor claims winning a third term could be easier than Trump’s previous electoral victories

Steve Bannon has confirmed that there is a secret plot afoot to end our democracy and install Trump as a permanent dictator.

If this were untrue, he’d be getting a visit from the FBI, as what he’s describing is a criminal conspiracy.

He won’t get an FBI visit.

The reason Trump illegally used an anonymous billionaire to pay soldiers during the Epstein Shutdown is because he's going to need troops for the Insurrection Act and martial law.

The reason he'll let the poor die is because he doesn't give a shit about them. Their lives don't advance his schemes.

U.S. hits $38 trillion in debt, after the fastest accumulation of $1 trillion outside of the pandemic This rapid debt accumulation is the fastest outside of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the debt having reached $37 trillion in August.

“We spent $4 trillion on interest over the last decade, but will spend $14 trillion in the next ten years...."

Every day, it seems like we tick a little bit closer to midnight.

Would be great if the GOP Congress would quit sleepwalking through this.

it’s wild that this is just sort of the most openly corrupt administration of all time and they’re just allowed to do that and most media doesn’t say a word about it

He posted an AI video of himself shitting on Americans six days ago

The signing bonus also prompted discussions internally because it’s not contingent on a key part of the hiring process, which is passing the academy, another source said. Even candidates who don’t pass the academy and are slotted for administrative jobs are still pocketing thousands of dollars.

Omg, this detail from CNN about the ICE hiring snafu is wild. This seems like an HR 101 level thing to get right.

They turned a hiring bonus into something much closer to an application bonus.

Seems like a great way to burn a ton of cash. Also? Here’s some waste for sure!

A very offline cousin sent this to fam group chat. This story is breaking containment.

I think the Reagan ad is most effective not by the topic but by reminding everyone that presidents don't have to sound like insane morons.

This really was one of my main takeaways

Fox doesn't like it when you insult that real President...

Bradley Whitford STEALS every scene he is in.

This series is weapons grade writing and acting all around.

From my responses, I am hearing that "Don't get a Nazi tattoo" is now, apparently, some kind of absurd "purity test."

Makes you wonder how many people have Nazi tattoos...

I think because they are building both a ballroom and a bunker the proper name is “The Epstein Ballbunker”

A group of US women kicked out a Nazi, while a group of US men stood around doing nothing.

People around the world are noticing that it is women who are leading the fight against fascists in the US. Whether it is Nazis or ICE.
