I make typos, but I mean will. I make jokes too, or did in the before-times. In Omelas, the prosperity of the city depended on tormenting one child. This was hidden, so nobody had to see the cost, but could if they desired. Our price is higher ๐Ÿ‡ต๐Ÿ‡ธ

They like Newsom for slightly different reasons. Newsom is willing to get in the mud with Trump.

No substantive beneficial policy, but he pays for a Chatbot to parody Trump.

Others love him for the same reason they like Buttigieg and various other faces: he's very good at platitudes.

Sucks at delivery, but God he makes nice promises.

Americans really want to stick their heads back in the sand. We've been in the 2016 season for 10 years.

It's amazing to me that only awful white people can see the divine truth that white people are just the best at everything.

I wonder why

If the new police chief allows the illegal practices and corruption to continue, they're also corrupt.

Complaining about this is similar to complaining about how some group (usually white people) loses rights when others gain rights.

No. It's not losing rights, it's losing undue advantage.

Our military members and law enforcement are proving they are no different from the guns they carry.

Point them in a direction and they'll pull the trigger without thought.

This isn't a defense, but Trump's first term did as well (it featured other cruelties, like kids in cages)

The only reason I bring this up, is the terror and cruelty is the goal, the point. It's a game for them.

This is the type of response a leader would give.

Trump and Johnson are using the needs of Americans as ransom.

AI's most principal use was always going to be fraud and thievery.

I thought this video was real, albeit a Halloween prank. I might have noticed artifacts if I was looking for them, but God it sucks to _always be looking_.

The moral depravity that has taken up residence in the hearts of โ€œgoodโ€ Christian GOP acolytes is a poison that can never be removed from their souls.

God might forgive them but no one else should.

Strangely, when you believe that God can use anyone as a tool, you believe any tool that claims God told them to do it.

5 Words to Fix ICE
YouTube video by LegalEagle 5 Words to Fix ICE

I hate the title of this video. I hate the naivete, and the ignorance of the larger problems of ICE.

But a guest lawyer, Cristian Farias, gives an amazing breakdown of where and how ICE gets its almost insurmountable legal immunity.

Unfortunately, immigration officers are basically immune. The Supreme Court has deliberately kept it that way.

Blue MAGA refers to Democrats who paid no mind to what Biden was doing.

On many platforms, dislikes are counted positively for engagement in algorithms.

Remember, social media thrives off rage, and dislikes are a great (tragic) way to tally engagement.

Imagine how much lower it could be if Biden would have just told the truth about what was going on. All he would have had to say is "Israel is indiscriminately killing anyone in their path, we cannot be an ally to that." and blue maga would have followed.

Especially after declarations of genocide.

It's so fucking funny (sad) to see a few random Republicans go left of Dems on any issue.

I think the past year has proven that for 95% of Dems, it's just a paycheck. It's not even a job, because they weren't doing it (until the shutdown.)

This is actually so perfectly Liberal. It would be art if it wasn't real.

Do you promise to have non-existent or at least weak privacy protections? Do you swear to raise security concerns?

Could there be a small risk of starting a fire?

Don't overdo it, but if you could randomly kill a housecat, I'm in!

Reagan who everyone suddenly loves, is responsible for starting this avalanche. The debt crossed 1T with his first tax cuts, and 4-5T with his second tax cuts.

A) I thought this is half what the tariffs were about, lol.

B) With all the draconian cuts, how is the debt rising significantly faster!?!? Like really

C) interest payments are now over 100B/month.

The debt has more than doubled in the last ten years.
