It's the exact same ideology embraced by the elite enslavers before the Civil War: some people are better than others, and have the right-- and maybe the duty-- to rule. It was the Mudsill Theory then, and it's the Mudsill Theory today, dress it up in whatever elegant language you may.

Facing difficult questions about his use of an FBI jet, Kash Patel pitches weak defense The FBI director had an opportunity to put the burgeoning controversy to rest. Instead, he pushed a message that didn’t do him any favors.

Kash Patel is confronting difficult questions about his use of an FBI jet for a personal trip to Pennsylvania, where his country singer girlfriend was performing, and then to Nashville, where she lives.

Soon after the flights were disclosed, the FBI forced out a senior official overseeing aviation.

Trump has pardoned many unsavory people (not just J6 rioters). I wonder if he denies knowing about them as well. There is a Wikipedia posting on the topic.

Starving can cause chronic illness and disabilities.

Malnutrition is not to be trifled with.

Cutting off SNAP funding will cause people to suffer. Some will get ill. Some may die.

There’s no excuse for this. 40 million people rely on that program.

It’s a cull.

Just a thought: How about we stop shaming the poor for buying things that may not be essential, and start shaming the rich for making a profit off things that are essential?

In a weird way, you've got to take your hat off to Jeffrey Epstein for successfully running a sex trafficking ring without a single one of his rich friends finding out about it.

New in PN: King Trump turns US Treasury into his personal piggy bank

"His proposal is that his toadies in the DOJ give him taxpayer money, at which point he’d display some largesse and give it away. So Trump wants us, the taxpayers, to pay him so that he can donate our money."

No, and what he's doing now isn't legal, either. It is, on the more important point of how it's being funded, insanely unconstitutional. But not everything is fixable by litigation, even constitutional violations. Some parts are up to Congress to enforce or else they simply aren't enforced at all.

News Outlets Won't Describe Trump's AI Video For What It Is: The President Pooping on America Major outlets said the President dumped "brown liquid" that "appeared to be feces" in an AI-generated video. They refused to call a spade a spade, or poop, poop.

“AI continues to be the aesthetic of fascism: fast, easy, ugly. When we lose the ability to say what it is, we’re losing a lot more than the chance to pun on poop.”

No, we can’t just agree to disagree on our opinions and live peacefully together when one person’s opinion is that the other can’t live in peace. Everyone already knows this, yet people pretend otherwise when it inconveniences them

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.
