Diversity Is Our Strength This morning, Elon Musk – the world's richest man and a key ally to the president of the United States – posted the content below to the white nationalist chat room and CSAM emporium he owns There's ...

All right, I got mad enough to write a full post about all this:

It really is amazing how much of political punditry, *especially* elite outfits in NYC and Washington, still embrace this bizarre idea that rural spaces represent the "Real America" while metropolitan areas, where most (presumably real) Americans actually live, should be held in contempt.

Whether they will say it or not, surely there must be some people in the MAGA movement who are able to see that Stephen Miller is a psychopath.

I don't believe my R friends are racist. I just don't thing they ever see how racism drives so much of the underlying policy because it's spun and laundered so well. Until we solve the info flow to that group we will continue to deal with this stuff.

It wasn't all racist from Day 1 like someone here said. Parties are coalitions. Different now than then. But there was always at least a racist section and a money section. The power in the coalition has shifted and the racists are winning and the money is trying to hold the tiger's tail. But can't

1 state over but yeah. Age 65, grew up in blue collar part of CT, started as a mod R.The older mod R electeds i knew defined Mod R as fiscally conservative but pro choice. Today ... they are MAGA as hell and will deny ever being pro choice. Also told me they were scared of Obama in 2016. Scared.

I think our worry is that while we're arguing over whether we're in 1928 fascism or 1933 fascism, the actual fascists will solidify fascism in America.

Next time someone tells you we can't restrict guns because it would harm lawful citizens we should remember this.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

Definition: Fascism is characterized by a dictatorial leader, centralized autocracy, militarism, forcible suppression of opposition, .........

Convince me this isn't forceable suppression of opposition. 2/2

If you don't want to be called fascists, don't do fascist shit.
By redefining Treason, which is a very specific charge, they are weaponizing the DOJ against simply people they don't like. 1/2

They have but not at the anticipated speed or rate expected. My sense is that companies were absorbing them longer rather than passing them on. That they gouged 2 yrs ago and people continued to pay those prices so they had inflated margins to work with.

Is there any financial evidence that part of the reason it's taken so long for the market to reflect the tariffs because major corps had price gouged during the inflation under Biden? Those padded margins would seem to have given a higher than normal cushion to absorb the tariffs.

Newt to now is a straight line of R's figuring out where the "lying" line has been moved.
1990's-waters tested and it works
2000's-"we create reality, Dems live in it"
2010's-Ted Cruz pushes further but it's TC and everyone hates him
2016 Trump- holy shit we can just make shit up?? Mind blown.

This highlights 2 things.
1) How Newt changed messaging and Dems never caught up
2) we have no concept of scale or scope.
Everyone screams both sides and they're partially right but the difference in scale and scope(and therefore reach) of the mis/disinformation is staggering.

Are Americans aware that down here in Mexico we’ve been getting bombarded for months with ads of Kristi Noem telling us to our face that we’re out welcome in the US, and that these ads even found their way into our national TV broadcasts

Because I feel like I have seen nobody mention it

Just had a weird feeling while reading the list that this could be the group that's seen enough evidence and uses it to overthrow him and install Vance. If they had balls.

Exclusiveβ€”Trump made shocking comments about Ivanka, says ex-staffer "Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump's breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her," a new book by Miles Taylor says.

"Aides said he talked about Ivanka Trump's breasts, her backside, and what it might be like to have sex with her, remarks that once led John Kelly to remind the president that Ivanka was his daughter," Taylor writes.

Some old Marketing101 stuff right there. In the newspaper heyday, do you buy 1/8th page for 8 days or a full page 1 day. Smaller and repeated always.
