It's the 4chanization of the United States government. It's trolls all the way down.

This is some 25th amendment shit. Seriously, if Biden did something like this a couple years ago, I'd be calling for Kamala to put him out to pasture. But then, Biden wasn't a performative asshole, so it would be out of character for him.

He can offer them advance notice of when Trump will next declare 100% tariffs on China, so they can make bank on the TACO trade. Pay to play, baby.

I'll tell you what: If I promise never to vote for Joe Biden in the future, will you turn your attention to the current administration's attack on constitutional order?

The 2014 war in Gaza was the turning point. The U.S., UN, Israel and Qatar decided soon after the war to set up a new system in which $30 million would be delivered to the coastal strip by Doha each month. Some $10 million was to buy fuel from Israel, needed to operate Gaza's power station, $10 million to pay the salaries of government employees, and the final $10 million was to be given in $100 stipends to some 100,000 Gazan families in need.

Okay, that's interesting but not really relevant to the current ceasefire situation.

“If he doesn’t win, we’re gone,” Mr. Trump said as he welcomed Mr. Milei, who he has called his “favorite president,” to the White House. “If he loses, we are not going to be generous with Argentina.”

In Argentina, those comments were taken by many as a clear attempt by Mr. Trump to put his thumb on a sovereign country’s electoral process.

“If he doesn’t win, we’re gone,” Mr. Trump said as he welcomed Mr. Milei, who he has called his “favorite president,” to the White House. “If he loses, we are not going to be generous with Argentina.” In Argentina, those comments were taken by many as a clear attempt by Mr. Trump to put his thumb on a sovereign country’s electoral process.

The fallout was swift. The peso tumbled as investors went on a panicked selling spree of Argentina’s currency. Mr. Milei’s political opponents railed against what they called American extortion, urging voters to reject his party at the polls. And Mr. Milei’s government rushed to try to assure Argentines that Mr. Trump wouldn’t abandon the nation based on Mr. Milei’s political fortunes.

To many, Mr. Trump’s conditional economic support represented yet another attempt to influence, through economic sticks and carrots, the internal affairs of another Latin American country. The turmoil that followed also highlighted the risks Mr. Milei faces as he shackles his political fortunes, and Argentina’s economic future, to America’s deep pockets and Mr. Trump’s fickle friendship.

Turns out Argentines don't appreciate his mafia kingpin act.

Trump Offered a Helping Hand to Argentina. It Backfired.

Trump's offer to help Argentina turned into electoral meddling because Trump can't help himself.

A tweet from Eric Daugherty with a video of Trump talking. Tweet reads: 🚨 LMAO! President Trump is BY FAR the funniest president. Everybody is cracking up! To President Milei: "We have a LOT of tomahawk [missiles]! Do YOU need any tomahawks in Argentina? You need them for your opposition, I guess? I don't do that. I'm much nicer. But I think the Democrats would use them if they had the chance." 😭

MAGA has a very bloodthirsty sense of humor. Trump joking about using Tomahawk missiles on political opposition. Hilarious!

Ah, yes. Fruit of the Loomer.

As always, their accusations are confessions and their grievances are plans.

An excerpt of the above cartoon showing two images hanging on the side of the easel. One shows Trump holding up a child-sized doll with minstrel show face coloring. The other shows the statue of liberty handcuffed, pregnant, and wearing an orange prison jumpsuit.

When MAGA people set up a social media service and design its internal lingo so as to blur the distinction between a "truth" and actual truth, I think that's an intentional part of MAGA's larger war on objective reality.

I hate the way "Truth" Social forces the language, calling any bullshit someone posts a "truth" and the act of posting bullshit "truthing."

It really highlights MAGA's terrible relationship to actual objective truth.

Meanwhile, FOX News, talk radio, online news outlets, podcasters, YouTubers, and social media influencers post tons of propaganda designed to maximize attention. It's an enormous brainwashing machine powered by profit incentives.

I can tell you that there has been a concerted effort, going back to Rush Limbaugh in the early 90's, to tell people that "mainstream media" lies to them and tilts liberal. This is been repeated and reinforced so much that half of America offhandedly dismisses any mainstream reporting.

Remember when the Trumpsters were saying that the Biden administration had altered the Epstein files? Their accusations are always confessions.

I think it explains more completely than any other 90 minute presentation I've ever seen how our society and our politics have come to where we are. It's not because there are villains. It's because this system enables them.

Yeah. It's called "The Social Dilemma" and it's on Netflix. It's really good.

It's a structural problem with social media. The business model prefers misinformation.
