It breaks my heart that he's Iranian. Like, he's probably a big fan of the Shah and SAVAK. He probably thinks the only problem with the Supreme Leader is that he's Muslim.
It's interesting that when H. Clinton and then Obama (both war criminals, naturally) were asked if they would give up the executive powers Bush was granted by the Congressional and the Judicial branches, Clinton said yes and Obama declined to answer. I know that Clinton wouldn't have given up those powers, but at least she gave a nod to it being a problem that hasn't been asked about since then.
It was rumored that there's a branch/column that supposed to check all the Constitutionally named columns. Where is it? I know there are real journalists trying to do the job and those citizens who want to see find them, but in this environment is repressing them and according to my willingly blind sisters are AI created. By the way, I think that's the big deal about AI, it gives these awful people excuses and causes doubt in others.
That Event definitely was used to grow the Fascist state, even for many other countries. That alone explains why no one, except maybe three Congress critters, have not wanted to take away the Ruling Class's biggest tool in the shed. The Awful Office having to (which is weird that they're breaking that Constitutional rule at this time) use the Federal Military at this time is maybe the big child's temper tantrum (he seems to have so many) or it was suggested by his hitler copy, Miller, for a plan he has shaping up.
The budget has to kill off Medicare, Medicaid and even SS, as well as any other social or infrastructure budget item to pay for all these Fed/State mafia agencies and the multiple wars that are ongoing, hidden to the public and planned. The only government departments I see being untouched, more like expanding, are geared towards people control.
"a Marxist dictatorship dominated by the iron fist of Chairman Josef Biden" SNORTED. also snorted at all the names you gave these doofuses. waluigi mangione ☠️
Yes, exactly. I think they nail it, at least for a certain population. But the hopeful part was the unpacking of how popular this really is. The doofuses in the video may have power systems locked into their moronic views, but not people en mass.
"By torturing any Brown-skinned people his masked pigs can get their hands on, Trump aims to terrorize Latino communities and deter them from participating in American life."
Yeah, no kidding. Monday night I had to sit through not one but THREE Kristi Noem commercials lecturing brown people that they can avoid being hauled off to a concentration camp by simply going back where they belong, and if they do maybe they'll be allowed to come back by following President Trump's Big Beautiful New Rules for Immigrants. And I lost the speaker remote, so I couldn't even shut the b***h up.
On the other hand, one of the comedy highlights of my day is scrolling through The American Conservative's newsletter and watching them twist themselves into pretzels trying to pretend what's going on isn't actually going on and politely suggesting that perhaps His Imperial Donaldness might consider toning it down just a teensy bit.
This was cathartic to read. I’m not sure what the emotional ingredients are - some mix of righteous anger, sarcasm, and mockery, but it hits. I think the relief comes from the fact that you're not arguing with them. You're not pretending there's something rational to respond to.
Every time I see people argue with insanity (or f@sc1sm) - as if it's a reasonable point of view - I can't help but think, they've allowed themselves to be lowered to the insane level. You cannot negotiate with f@sc1sm or insanity. Acting like there is something to discuss actually gives it legitimacy, even if that's not the intention. I think that's why reading this was such a breath of fresh air.
I'm not sure why not everyone else has this kind of moral clarity. It's not from lack of morality - perhaps just the opposite. Many well-meaning people are still operating from a place of good faith, not realizing they’re engaging with people who have no intention of honest dialogue. As understandable as that instinct is, staying in the "debate" mode is getting increasingly dangerous. It not only legitimizes the bad actors, it drains time and energy away from where it's needed: mobilizing towards sustained, strategic, economic resistance - because that's the only leverage we have left that I can see.
"The twenty conservatives... believe there’s a White genocide, think Los Angeles was burned to the ground, and have convinced themselves pre-Trump America was a Marxist dictatorship dominated by the iron fist of Chairman Josef Biden...With slightly more brainpower than a Labrador retriever, the reactionary mind justifies its illogical worldview with asinine and contradictory statements attempting to give a veneer of intellectualism to their childish hallucinations."
Like a bucket of cold water over the head. I couldn’t watch the video. Can’t look at dead Palestinian kids either. I’m not boasting. I’m ashamed. For all of us.
As someone who also watched this in its entirety, I’m sorry that you also felt compelled to do so. However, “Waluigi Mangione” made my day.
It is a WILD thing to watch all the way through. Really illuminating.

Rolling back the War on Terror expansion of the security state is direly necessary.

Excellent points. So many good burns in this. My favorite one was that conservatives think he’s ’Josef Biden’ loooool the f
lol, I was pleased by that. Glad you liked it!

I think I'm so funny, so it's good to see I'm not entirely delusional about my comedic abilities.
Yes, it was funny. And these days that's hard to do, so thank you.
The latest episode of Diabolical Lies puts this into perspective in a way that actually feels hopeful. Also, do these people see themselves? 🤭
Was that the one where Katie tried to figure out what conservatism actually is? Great episode.
Yes, exactly. I think they nail it, at least for a certain population. But the hopeful part was the unpacking of how popular this really is. The doofuses in the video may have power systems locked into their moronic views, but not people en mass.
Haven’t even finish the article yet but just need to say that the Waluigi caption has me rolling.
lol, thanks!

Those commercials are insane!!! I saw one when I was in Mexico. It's straight out of a knock-off Purge Movie.
They’re worse then the ones trying to con old people that Advantage is part of Medicare.
Your names used to protect their privacy were both a kindness to them and hilariously on point. 10/10
These Jubilee panels are just wastes of time and energy, and only end up platforming right wing idiots and their stupid ideas.
True, but the one with Sam Seder just walking all over these idiots was pretty entertaining.
