For the GOP, holding office is a get rich quick scheme.

There is nothing an American president could do worse for his own people than starving the poor right before Thanksgiving.

Except for, I donโ€™t know, lying about a plague and getting a million of his own citizens killed. Oh wait, letโ€™s also not forget the time that he:

The only weird thing is that whoever wrote it has to have been old enough to think of all those things, and therefore would know nothing was weird.

Iโ€™ve been trying to say this for a while, but I feel like no one is really listening to me whoโ€™s obsessively focused on the โ€œgroyper problemโ€ at the expense of everything else. The issue with unhinged far-right streamers goes beyond Fuentes and the groypers. Things have been cooked for years.

Seriously... Look at these clowns walking down suburban, tree lined streets in Waukegan, Illinois with long guns at the ready and hundreds of rounds of ammunition with them, body armor and face masks to hide their identities.

That is some fascist bullshit, right there.

How is it that Americans in that room are clapping for this man and spitting on our Americans Farmers
They are watching him leave that podium with our tax dollars?

Don Moynihan on "Purge, Merge, and Surge" "Instead of surging in Iraq, itโ€™s happening here in American cities."

โ€œMore and more cabinet members โ€” Rubio, Miller, Noem โ€” live on military bases now, & it's another parallel to Iraq, where the administration lived in the Green Zone. Thereโ€™s something deeply unhealthy about a society where leaders are literally shut off from the communities that they govern.โ€

Remember when Donald Trump said there would be people standing in bread lines trying to get food if Kamala Harris won?

People are standing in line for food in Cleveland because of Donald Trump.

Thereโ€™s no daylight between what Candace says here about โ€œthe Jewsโ€ & what Nazi propagandists & Father Coughlin said about the Jews in the 1930s. Her show is one of the top 5 โ€œconservativeโ€ podcasts in the US. She has 5.5 million subscribers on YouTube and 7.3 million followers on X.

About 12 hours.
Since the source material and algorithyms for various AI were chosen by antisocial horndog techbros, you'll have to add "old" or "decrepit" or "grandma" to get an image of a woman who looks over 30.

They pick on the weak.

They pick on the vulnerable.

They want it to look like an intimidating show of force.

Thereโ€™s also something more nefarious behind itโ€ฆ. Which is that theyโ€™re counting on society to not care if a disabled person gets *more* disabled.

We need you to care.

ICE agents in Chicago violently detain a non verbal autistic man for being โ€œnon compliantโ€

He couldnโ€™t โ€œcomplyโ€ because of his disabilityโ€ฆthey donโ€™t care

This is not the first time theyโ€™ve gone after a disabled person

They target the most vulnerable because itโ€™s an easy way to meet their quota

With certain rare exceptions (ie military ops), a government that hides what it is doing is called a conspiracy.

Without SNAP benefits, each grown up who dies will be about 100 lb, and each kid who dies will be about 50 lb. We will meet his goal in no time.

Last month marked worst October for layoffs in more than 20 years: Challenger Employers announced 153,074 cuts last month, the highest total for October since 2003, according to Challenger, Gray & Christmas.

You'll be shocked to learn that the guy who led us into the worst layoffs in American history has now led us to the worst October layoffs in 20 years. Cue why we can't blame him for the kind of mess only he keeps creating.
