Once upon a time, I used to laugh at science fiction that prominently featured Chinese and Russian language signage everywhere

This could never happen, I thought

I was so naïve

Get Tolkien’s words out of your mouth, Thiel. He would’ve named you in a heartbeat, fascist.

Fuck Henry Tarrio with a chainsaw. He helped make this happen. I hope he gets renditioned to Sudan.

Blood and/or stupidity

Failing us assumes that they’re trying to help us and not themselves

They’re sucking up to power

Pam Bondi as Florida AG took a $25k campaign contribution from the Trump Org to dismiss Florida’s Trump University case over a decade ago. Same exact thing drumpf tried to hold over Eric Schneiderman.

Rubio originally entered Congress as part of the 2010 Tea Party wave. He’s not abandoned his beliefs, he’s reverted to type.

You can’t prevent something like trump if you don’t fix voting and strengthen the other branches, *especially* with regards to representation. Too much power has been ceded to the Executive Branch.

Choosing the Voting Rights Act, Civil Rights Act, and the Equal Rights Amendment, just for starters. Then fix congressional house proportionment, and the Supreme Court.

Thank you for the correction. I was working from memory, and that was what I was thinking of. Notable, though, is that he’s been talking about being president since the ‘80s.

He ran in the 2000 election in the Reform Party ticket with Pat Buchanan. Something everyone seems to forget. So, exactly, he’d never have won except on the ticket as a major party candidate, because there is no viable path for a third party candidate to be abiding but a spoiler in the USA.

I remember it all too well

The drone technology Iran has is based at least partly on reverse engineering ours, after they successfully spoofed GPS to down a Reaper during Obama’s second term. Of course the Houthi are having an easy time shooting them out of the sky. They don’t need DUI Pete telling them anything.

The value of a human life should never be measured according to economic contribution.

We are meant to do more than just work, pay taxes, prop up capitalism and die.

All humans have value, and as soon as we start debating who has the most? The fascists win.

There was a Chinese restaurant in my hometown some 40 years ago that made THE BEST vegetarian mu shu I have ever eaten in my life. I have NEVER had anything that came even remotely close.

And he thinks that those “attacks” will lessen?

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

*inhale*

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

Thank you for so clearly elocuting how you have never actually studied history

These are people who would read a critique of the “Foundation” series and believe that psychohistory could be an actual scientific endeavor. Using history to inform your predictions of the future is useful, but relying on it to actually predict the future?

Nah, man. You’re practicing astrology.

I survived an idiopathic spontaneous vertebral artery dissection. At 42.

Everyone ends up disabled at some point in their life. Sometimes, if you’re lucky, it’s temporary.

“At some point” falls so far back in the past, it has great grandchildren

I had a bumper sticker on my first car, in the early ‘90s, that read

“The media is only as liberal as the conservative corporations that own it”

That bumper sticker had been first printed in the 1970s

“bUt stAtEs RigHtS!!1!!”

Or, all too frequently, to connect them at either end to anything that’s also bikeable

You know how toilets are these days. You have to flush eight or fifty times.

Nice work if you can get it

A lot of us would love to emigrate but can’t

Capitalism doesn’t do those things. Yes, those system may be privatized, but they exist and thrive only because of government support and regulation.

Capitalism knows only the cost of everything and the value of nothing. Japan’s rail system wouldn’t exist if profitability was required. Et cetera.

Virtually no one is saying that the thing with drumpf is that he’s a classic mafia don #PunNotIntended, even though that’s literally the only explanation for his actions
