Netanyahu and a disturbing amount of others see all Palestinians as Hamas. They aren’t starving civilians to death to pressure Hamas. They’re genociding all Palestinians on purpose because they don’t see them as human beings. It’s unspeakably horrible, and it’s being silenced.
The mainstream is hoping that when all Palestinians are dead or displaced they won’t have a voice to object.
The beauty of the 300-year-old American federalist system is that states enjoy a wide range of special rights to be ultimately determined by the current makeup of the Supreme Court with absolutely no checks on their power. Supreme Court Justices are lifetime appointees who can be bribed publicly and are free to lie about it, and there is no mechanism to question their ethics or remove them from their positions outside of a full impeachment like with Trump.
The state supreme courts have a good deal of power, but only to the extent that the federal Supreme Court doesn’t take it away. I can’t imagine a more fertile ground for fascism to be experimented upon legally if people of conscience do nothing.
Everybody has speculated where the line is for Trump supporters. In 2015, the line was 30% of all Republicans. That’s comical in hindsight. He promised a new beginning to rural voters who have been screwed over by the system for generations at this point with no end in sight.
A decade later, everyone forgot the possibility that there may be a line. Raping children. That’s the line. Years of dehumanizing Trump supporters has blinded everyone to the fact that they believe they’re cleaning up a deeply flawed system. A system run by evil Democratic pedophiles who worship Satan.
Finding out that the god emperor who is supposed to be the savior of the country is an actual child rapist shakes their belief in him to the core. He promised to release the Epstein files and bring justice to all these evil wealthy monsters. The fact that he is one of those monsters is his Achilles Heel.
This Epstein issue really could be different. The “democrats are pedophiles and Trump is going to stop them” myth is fundamental to MAGA. I don’t think they realize how foundational that was to their movement.
Meanwhile, Trump is clearly a pedo, ICE grabs kids at the border who disappear, and the administration’s laughable lack of confidence has put the coverup on display for everyone to see.
It’s not just Epstein. Do you think Trump just gave up on his favorite pastime after he and Epstein had a falling out? He’s the most powerful person in the world, and he has zero self-control. Where are his new victims coming from?
Simple explanation. When all the guards simultaneously fell asleep, one of them accidentally cut the power to the security system.
You can’t expect the Justice Department to provide footage that was never recorded in a freak accident that is totally not suspicious at all. It’s not like Epstein had mountains of dirt on the wealthiest and most evil people on the planet doing unspeakably horrible things to innocent children.
We should all just accept this ridiculous story as true and let the rich evil people get back to doing… whatever it was they were doing. I’ve already forgotten
My brother in Christ, have you heard of filing bankruptcy?
The current US president carries water for Russia. He is their thrall. He was always going to turn on Ukraine. It will get worse, but Europe is rearming and will rise to face Russia.
The rich have too much by definition, but billionaires in America have an historically obscene amount of wealth. Wealth inequality in today’s America has surpassed pre-Revolution France.
Someone needs to run third party promising to run for only one term and clean up politics in Washington. Ethics reform, a ban on lobbyists, ban advertising in political campaigns, set up public funding for campaigns that reach a certain threshold of support, enact bribery laws with teeth that apply to public servants, etc.
Promote the best advisors and use best judgment on other pressing matters, but focus on taking a sledgehammer to this broken system and restoring democracy.
Good thing the American public is in the capable, steady hands of the Trump administration. The drone terror attack plan will no doubt be leaked from a top secret group chat soon and blow everyone away with its brilliance.
The real fun will be watching Trump try to blame Biden and probably even Hillary for the security failure. That’s the only card he knows how to play. Traitors everywhere pretending the emperor still has clothes on.
Just another day in Dumbfuckistan America.
If blue states were to band together and do this, it would bankrupt Trump’s fascist federal government pretty quickly. Maybe a blue state Articles of Confederation is in order.
Anthony Bourdain hit hard. I always thought of him as having the best job on earth. He got to see the best of the world and show it to everyone.
It just goes to show we all wrestle with our demons. Don’t ever be afraid to reach out for help.
Apparently, the Russians moved a lot of their best bombers far from the front when they realized they were exposed to strikes, so Ukraine hit them with some James Bond, 4D chess operation they’d been planning for a year and a half.
Those bombers had been terrorizing Ukrainian cities, destroying defensive fortifications, and are a key part of the Russian nuclear threat.
Whatever weapons and money everyone is sending Ukraine, double it.
It’s all AI now. They check the decibel level of how loudly you scream at the workers who have nothing to do with the actual problem. Whoever screams loudest gets access to the secret Karen fleet.
The actual facts and immigration status don’t matter. They’re after skin color. The first few waves of people going to El Salvador are test cases.
Trump and his Cabinet misfits who make the news are clowns. The Heritage Foundation Project 2025 officials are the vanguard of the real fascist movement.
The real trick is eating beans and not pooping for three days.
Move fast and break things: air traffic controller trainee edition
There needs to be a nationwide, unionized air traffic controller “consultant” business formed for when the shit hits the fan. Pay these people what they deserve to fix the disasters that will be caused by their ill treatment.
The derivatives market is leaning heavily on paused student loans when 2/3 of Americans are using layaway plans to buy groceries? And inflation is about to skyrocket again because of the tariff chaos?
Does the derivatives market deliberately choose bad long-term investments and plan on crashing? That would explain a lot.
Bernie not being the candidate in 2016 was the first problem. It compounded after that.
IIRC, Biden was fourth in the primary when Obama told the other establishment candidates to drop out and rally behind Biden because it looked like Bernie might win.
There’s footage of Buttigieg telling the press that he’s redirecting his plane to go concede on the way to a primary he had a chance of winning. Again, IIRC Warren stayed in the race to split the progressive vote.
The Democratic Party being bought out by a slightly less offensive class of billionaires for decades eroded their ability to understand anything approaching the lived experience of actual Americans.
The biggest joke is that their Silicon Valley billionaire supporters were the first in line not only to go full Nazi, but also to fix elections against them.
The oligarchs have always sided with the Nazis. Look up the business plot and Smedley Butler, the hero who turned down the role of Fuhrer
