Is there any remaining doubt this is a white supremacist regime?

The richest man on earth owns X.

The second richest man on earth is about to acquire TikTok and his family could soon own both Paramount and Warner Bros.

The third richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp.

The fourth richest man owns The Washington Post.

See the problem here?

He was a good president until his ego resulted in a reelection of the absolutely worst president imaginable.

"Anna, Lindsey Halligan Here." Anna Bower Monday, October 20, 2025, 5:40 PM Share On: f X inK My Signal exchange with the interim U.S. attorney about the Letitia James grand jury.

Uvalde PD rejects?

Same here. It’s one of my favorite songs. So about a month ago I was actually in Bangor listening to Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson. There’s a railroad right next to the amphitheater, and what came down the track? A whole bunch of boxcars!

In New Hampshire it’s pronounced BER-lin, not ber-LIN as in Germany.

Roger Miller mispronounces it in his famous song, King of the Road.

Since this nightmare began 10 years ago, it’s been pretty consistent: 1/3 are horrified, 1/3 are cheering it on, and 1/3 are clueless. Only the second group is willingly abandoning democracy, but yes, it’s a huge number of people.

Let’s find out if we really are a banana republic. We’ll know if there’s a military coup. I’m not counting on it, but wish it would happen.

I had a Canadian roommate in college in the 70s. He could name all but a couple of the US states. My other 3 US roommates couldn’t name half of Canada’s provinces. It was a college I guarantee you’ve heard of.

Read this. It shows beyond a doubt that we’ve crossed all lines into full-on fascism.

Of course.

His goose is cooked? What planet are you on? He’s gotten away with everything so far, and has amassed unprecedented power that will prevent any consequences to him, ever.

Anything in particular about the passage you’re showing, or are you just showing a sample of the writing? Looks intriguing.

The Trump Administration Is About to Incinerate 500 Tons of Emergency Food Federal workers warned for months that the high-energy biscuits would go to waste.
