It has seemed to me that Vance has withdrawn from the spotlight recently, I definitely think he's distancing himself in anticipation of Trump not finishing his term, and/or turning on him if the Epstein stuff proves to be a fatal blow.

What an amazing verb, thank you.

That would be a great sci fi premise, the aliens invade and actually govern fairly, promote democracy and support human rights and technology for health and environment. Half the planet loves this and the other half fights them because aliens.

"Liberal" or "Progressive". I feel that these terms better reflect my desire for democratic reforms to advance a more just political and economic system. "Leftist" to me is more associated with people who want to dismantle it all and start over, not necessarily democratically.

And he was insulted for his troubles. Bribery aside, when will institutions learn that nothing you do for fascists earns their favor or loyalty? They will take everything, give nothing, and discard you as soon as it is convenient. They disdain you for the very compliance they demand.

What is the crime? What are even the charges? What judge signed a warrant? Or are they all playing by ICE rules now (which means, no rules)?

Socialism is providing for people's needs. Its maintenance. Its boring. Its work. Fascism promises excitement, spectacle, action, freedom from restraint. Endless action and emotional highs. Socialism is mom making you eat veggies and fascism is weekend dad giving you cotton candy laced with crack.

According to our culture, anything not currently experiencing wild, unsustainable growth is "dying".

Disgusting. Beyond the destruction a beautiful and historic garden, I don't know if tacky is even the right word, its just so lazy and devoid of class or any other consideration.

Trump is against roof solar panels because they stop him from wandering on roofs.

Meanwhile, I'm sure Vance is doing some side plotting of his own, of how to throw Trump under the bus and skate into the Presidency if the scandal proves unstoppable.

This is essentially murder.

The person next to me on the last flight I took was watching Fox News for 4 hours straight, and "holy fuck" just about covers it. Being generally aware of their current rhetoric and agenda and seeing the clips that go viral did not prepare me for that deluge. It must be destroying their minds.

Fascism - rule by dictator
Oligarchy - gvt by wealthy few
Theocracy - ruled by religion
Kakistocracy - gvt by least qualified

America has produced a most unique system of government

Yes, because "Fuck your feelings" should always have been read as "Fuck YOUR feelings".

Its the same with all his appointments. He surrounds himself with unqualified failures who know their only hope lies in loyalty to Trump, personally. Those are the people he can control until he chooses to discard them. Which he always does.

they are fucking Orcs

No matter how much they lie, reality doesn't care. They can't defeat it. It will devour them.

At least even the worst Roman emperors rightly feared their political opposition, who often removed them when they went too far.

That is amazing!

No joke, a society that normalizes men wearing deep V satin loungewear will be immune to toxic alt right masculinity and incels.

Men like this are invincible, until they aren't. And it happens fast. And often for reasons that aren't apparent at the time.

I was joking about this last week. That's the shelf life of parody now.
