If their masters tell them to vote against tariffs, they’ll do so. These politicians hold no actual power. They are the mouthpieces standing in front of the monsters who hold actual power. And they don’t give a shit about anyone or anything.
I’m wondering if Trump’s corporate backers are tired of winning yet. Who knows what other wins are coming from the mad king in the future. I’m sure they’ll get tired eventually.
Looks like the Starlink election cheat bug got patched.
That’s the problem with the removal of due process. The facts don’t matter. Being accused makes you guilty and subjects you to the maximum penalty under the law.
If you think the Trump administration isn’t going to extend this to LGBT people next and people who disagree with their policies after that, you aren’t paying attention.
Google is kissing the ring for the new would-be dictators, Trump and Musk. Don’t fall for any lip service to the contrary.
Putin’s misguided dream to restore the Russian empire has set its military back for decades. He’s squandered the remnants of a global empire because he personally could not stomach Ukrainian independence.
China’s demand for oil is past its peak, and sky high interest rates can’t prop up the Russian economy forever. Depleted stocks and poor economic forecasts don’t bode well for the Russian “Empire.”
The invasion of Ukraine was a strategic blunder of historic proportions, and all because he underestimated the strength of the Ukrainian people and their will to be free.
I’m curious what India thinks of Usha Vance. On paper, she’s an Indian-American Second Lady. In reality, she sits back while her husband says he’s okay with all kinds of anti-Indian racist shit.
The last chance to stop this is the Roberts Court making a strong ruling, and the ruling being enforced. Otherwise, the list of who can be rounded up and disappeared will just get longer and longer.
Probably drunk and needing his wife to translate for him. DUI hires routinely need these accommodations until their wives leave them.
Arrest him for violations of state law when he shows up to give out the money.
Didn’t the wannabe fuhrer have a complete breakdown after this happened? I remember hearing that.
Spoiler alert: “Top Republicans” will bottom for Trump and take it with zero resistance like they have for almost a decade. They have no pride, loyalty to country, or actual power.
They sold their souls to the devil and won’t do anything but complain about it privately while supporting and voting for treason publicly.
It’s the economic version of recycling and your “carbon footprint.”
Nevermind the gigantic, multinational, conglomerate corporate monsters that are destroying everything- the environment, the economy, democracy, etc. It’s actually your fault personally for not inconveniencing yourself every day to make zero difference.
I can’t believe I missed the opportunity to text JD Vance pictures of sexy couches and love seats.
On the other hand, a single email or text to Hegseth might have exposed the entire American DoD if he was drunk enough. “Oops. Need to reset my password for important Secretary stuff. Here’s all my credentials.”
people tend to become dependent upon AI chatbots when their personal lives are lacking. In other words, the neediest people are developing the deepest parasocial relationship with AI
Preying on the vulnerable is a feature, not a bug.
Anti-Christian communists should read the gospels. They’re the actual basis of the Christian religion and are enlightening.
Right now, the answer to authoritarianism isn’t to be quiet. It’s not matching pink outfits at a state address. It’s not throwing trans people under the bus. It’s not refusing to look at the party at all and see where it could be better. The answer is to very publicly, very loudly, very boldly, stand up. The only way to fight fascism, and this has been proven over and over and over again, is loudly, proudly, and every single day.”
Sounds infinitely better than the current Democratic/Nazi-lite party. Just don’t take money from billionaires. That’s how it starts.
It’s only a few months in. I wonder if what is left of Trump considers bringing professionals back into the room. That’s how he got through his first term. He has children working for him that need an adult.
Part of me wants it all to burn to the fucking ground. Maybe something better comes out of the ashes.
