@GottaLaff Funny how when it's time to make hard decisions, it's still time for tax cuts for the wealthy!
Go back in time and explain to your grandparents that in 2025 the UNITED STATES would be sending its top officials to Europe in support of resurgent Nazi movements aiming to overthrow their democracies.
see this is what happens when you pretend to be religious but don't actually know how the story ends
I saw a post that the ‘western monarch population has declined’ and got excited then realized it was about butterflies

You just have to understand they see "criminal" as something you are, not something you do. Poor minorities are born "criminals" regardless of whether they ever do something illegal. Likewise, White dudes aren't "criminals" regardless of how many crimes they commit. Similarly, poor brown people are "illegal immigrants" even if their families have been citizens for generations, while White immigrants, like Elon Musk, are fine even if they didn't follow the rules when they came here.

"But the Constitution says he can't do that!"

I know, he knows. That's why he is trying.

Unitary executive theory (advanced by project 2025): make potus able to rule through decrees. The Enabling Act in Germany in 1933 did this, lead directly to deaths of ~50 million and burning 2 continents down.

Technically German constitution from 1919 was “in effect” until 1949. Enabling Act made constitution de jure only (by law, not practice); it was technically there the whole time.

History can rhyme.

God I hate what the last decades of neo-liberal austerity did to the German railways.

I wish the collective anger among my fellow travellers right now would turn into a clear understanding that a well maintained and collectively funded infrastructure is a luxury worth voting for 😵‍💫

Insurance Company CEOs in meetings right now:

CEO: what should we do to prevent me from being shot next?

Employee: Stop denying so many claims.

Employee: Lower premiums.

Employee: Treat our clients like human beings.

CEO: Bodyguards it is.

What I really want to know about Hunter Biden's pardon is why the Saudis gave Jared Kushner two billion dollars.
“I served as a US ambassador and know hundreds of others. Never met one before who hired a prostitute to seduce their brother-in-law or sent a videotape of the encounter to their sister or who committed 18 felonies and was pardoned by another in-law. I guess the job qualifications are changing.” - Fmr. US Amb. to Czech Rep., Norm Eisen
