Trump regime/ DOGE: You're all fired! We have taken over the military.
<a few moments later>
Hey, before you go...
How do you start it up?
I like to tell them he died of covid and they've been worshiping a body double for the last 5 years.
*we're calling June 14 Obama Day. Spread the word. Suggest there should be a parade for Obama. Ruin it for Trump.
(Why June 14? It's also Flag Day. And Obama stood for our flag.)
Again, I don't think we're disagreeing here. I'm just throwing in that Normalcy Bias applies to all humans, but around the world, normal is different for everyone. And people are aware that things happen, despite that bias against an unusual thing happening in the moment.
Normalcy Bias is about the reaction in the moment. It's not that no one knows or fears history repeating, it's that humans tend to react slower or not at all when something unusually bad happens because we're most often correct to not expect it.
Not actually a Chinese phrase, but associated with a different Chinese phrase:

The sayings, as well as your point about multi-generational memory, suggest humans are aware that big, bad, unusual events happen.
*SCOTUS should have rotating 9 (13 if the court is expanded) year terms, so every year, 1 justice is replaced.
(I think we're agreeing here. I'm saying Americans aren't unique for having Normalcy Bias, but are unique in what most Americans have experienced as normal)
Yeah, that's pretty much how Normalcy Bias works. People are quicker to believe that things they've experienced can happen. Since most Americans haven't seen 1930s hardship, it's harder to believe it's coming than it is for anyone that has experienced hardship.

Right now, we need to declare June 14 to be Obama Day, and start telling everyone there should be a parade in his honor
"Let them eat cake" 1789
"Let them have 93% fewer toys" 2025 (stand in line for when he says the same thing about food, or tries to say food shortages are how we combat the obesity epidemic)
Humans in general have Normalcy Bias built in
NYT-pick?
I want to see reporters asking Trump basic questions. Call it an interview, but give him a cognitive test.
Mr. President, who was the third president, in your opinion?
Mr. President, what do you see as the difference between a franchise and a corporation?
Mr. President, how do you feel about 2³?
Even more funny when you realize that the movement that Trump rode in on was originally called The Tea Party movement
Hey now, that's one screen capture from a list of things he did. Also included:
- wiped his very own butt
- finished his whole Happy Meal
- deported innocent people to foreign gulag
- allowed RFK to turn health into Goons Gone Wild (promises kept)
- made economy go boom 💥
- made a boom boom
Sorry, that was mean
Everything they make is just average
Can someone just put out some AI videos of RFK saying bad things about Trump? That would get him fired quicker than noting his incompetence.
🤣🦅🤣
Just incredible
Pushing Trump to be the pope is a plot by JD Vance!
As pope, Trump would be susceptible to Vance-touch, resulting in his demise, and installing Vance as president!
Remember the episode of The Office where Jim and Pam apply to jobs on Dwight's behalf, hoping to get him to go work somewhere else? That's what Lindsay Graham is doing.
Average wealth per person:
335,000 people (less than half the population of DC)
$66,000,000 each
167,500,000 people (more than the populations of California, Texas, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Georgia, and Louisiana combined)
$23,000 each
"They want obedient workers. People who are just smart enough to run the machines and do the paperwork and just dumb enough to passively accept all these increasingly shittier jobs with the lower pay the longer hours the reduced benefits the end of overtime and the vanishing pension" ~George Carlin
I've been pleasantly surprised at how much Fox and even News Nation are reporting. Obviously some of the outlets are worse than others, but they're not hiding facts in every article and interview.
Aww! They're blushing!
Several comments about how judges don't really see each other in court that much, but since this was posted 16 hours before the arrest of a judge, who was then scheduled to appear before another judge, I think War and Peas may have Simpsons-level prophetic abilities.
MADISON, Wis. – Yesterday, the Milwaukee Journal-Sentinel and other publications reported that Milwaukee County Circuit Court Judge Hannah Dugan apparently attempted to protect a defendant from ICE agents trying to detain that defendant. (1/6)
