the real issue is why anyone with two brain cells that connect would believe a promise from republicans.

As frequently discussed, half of the reason for this mentality is because these people are just genuinely stupid, but the other half is Democrats simply don’t want to believe the people they work with on a daily basis are actual sociopaths who want to see them dead

Tuberville is the poster child for malevolent stupidity.

I grew weary of the ‘why this is really good news’ stans back in the ‘Mueller Time’ and ‘Merrick Garland is just building a rock solid case’ eras. We need to be honest about SCOTUS/DOJ and how Trumpian USA is now.

Elections in democracies determine who administers the government; they do not alter whom the government is for. Under any administration, Republican or Democratic, the United States government exists to serve the people of the United States, regardless of their partisan affiliation. Besides, Americans are not as easily divided as Trump might think. Millions of Republican voters live in New York, just as millions of Democrats live in Texas. He cannot tell whom he is punishing by glancing at an electoral map. But even if he could, Trump’s acts of extortion have no place in a democracy. They belong in a protection racket: If you support Trump, you are protected; if you do not, you are vulnerable. If you donate enough cash to Trump, you may receive favorable treatment, including immunity from the law. If you oppose Trump, you may be prosecuted.

This is not how a representative government works. It is how the Mafia works.

Went back to the history of the Sicilian Mafia to illustrate something obvious but worth stating explicitly: The Trump administration behaves like an organized crime syndicate running a protection racket, not a representative government www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2025/1...

Um, do federal prosecutors *really* want to take the position that it's not okay to receive something of value from … Qatar?

I can think of 747 reasons why they shouldn't. 🤔

projection is in the nazi/fascist manual as the go to response to everything....it comes natural to them because the leaders are paranoid psychotics.

There it is. Out loud. In the highest court of the land. No spin, no “fake news,” no Biden boogeyman. You pay for the tariffs. You. Not China. Not Mexico. Not “globalists.” You.

Elon Musk also said this about empathy yesterday, which I hadn’t see. When I posted this.

This man is a danger to us all.

Good. Fuck them.

Australia has so much solar that it's offering everyone free electricity Australia's extensive solar power penetration makes so much energy that the government wants to offer free electricity at peak hours.

Australia has so much electricity from solar power that it is going to start offering free electricity to everyone for at least three hours during the day as the wholesale price of power goes negative

This is the kind of thing which makes me think better things are possible.

Does someone have a list of all the people who promised to leave NYC so we can put them on free buses to Florida?
