Insane corruption.

And if Lutnick is profiting from the end of tariffs you can bet Trump is getting a taste.

"I also believe there are a lot of things that Britain can learn from countries like Hungary: how to preserve national borders, oppose mass immigration, invest in pro-family policies, and stand up to distant supranational institutions - like the European Union... fundamentally, conservatives need to work together to share best practices on what is working and what is not." - Defeated Reform candidate Matt Goodwin shares his election-losing tips with Orbán supporters at the Mathias Corvinus Collegium's "Reclaiming the West" summit, Hungary Today, 11 March. Goodwin has denied reports in Hungarian media that he receives a €10,000-a-month salary as a visiting fellow of the pro-Orbán MCC "Farage said Reform's plans would rip up what he sees as the orthodoxy of a liberal establishment responsible for 'a progressive, woke ideology' that has left Britons ashamed of their country. He compared himself to his friend Donald Trump, as well as Hungarian leader Viktor Orban and Argentina's Javier Milei, as figures bringing 'very, very big changes' to the world." - Interview with Nigel Farage at Reform Welsh manifesto launch, Reuters, 17 March

MattGPT Goodwin and Farage admit where their loyalties lie.

Don’t ever let these fascist foghorns pretend they’re not fully signed up and paying members of the Putin/Trump/Orban fanclub.
They’re distancing themselves frantically now. Too late.

Farage has publicly praised insurance-based healthcare. He’s endorsed the American model. He’s called the NHS “unsustainable in its current form.”
This is what that costs:

Palantir's summary of CEO Alexander Karp's manifesto is generating buzz. Read the 22 bullet points. Among the 22 points summarizing Palantir CEO Alex Karp's manifesto is the belief that the US should consider reinstating the military draft.

This company is out of control and its CEO appears in nearly every public appearance to be disturbed in some way.

There are companies our government should have nothing to do with anymore—e.g., those associated with Elon Musk—and Palantir is on that list.

The Deepfake Nudes Crisis in Schools Is Much Worse Than You Thought An analysis by WIRED and Indicator found nearly 90 schools and 600 students around the world impacted by AI-generated deepfake nude images—and the problem shows no signs of going away.

IMPORTANT PSA: Please talk to your kids about this horrific trend!

Let them know that if they’re the victim that to let you know immediately. If they’re see it being done to others report it to authorities asap!

This could lead to devastating consequences for teens!

Silicon Valley has forgotten what normal people want Did the tech industry get high on its own supply?

From Ron Filipkowski today:

'One of The Scariest Things I Have Seen': Alarms Sound Over 'Technofascist' Palantir Manifesto | Common Dreams Scholars alarmed by Palantir's technofascist manifesto promoting AI weapons, mandatory national service, and authoritarian dominance.

www.commondreams.org/news/palanti...

The Palentir statement on its desired “Technological Republic” is one of the scariest things I have seen in a while. It is a call for a world dominated by an authoritarian U.S., generated by AI (both the statement and the world), run by tech-surveillance companies. Technofascism pure!

RIGHT NOW -- Veterans are being arrested in #washingtondc after peacefully demanding an end to the War on Iran. @vetsaboutface

“The absolutely horrendous and disgusting Wall Street Journal” is frying me

Screenshot of a tweet by Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) showing an exchange where a reporter asks Trump how much longer Americans will face high gas prices, Trump responds they're "not very high," is told prices are still $4 a gallon, and replies that's what ABC says but "the stock market is up" and "everything is doing really well." The embedded video shows Trump speaking on the White House lawn, with a breaking news chyron reading "Trump: Iran Cannot Have Nuclear Weapon."

He can't lie his way out of this one.

Tesla saved $400 million on its federal taxes by shifting billions of its U.S. profits to countries with lower tax rates.

Yes: While you paid your taxes in full, giant corporations maneuvered to pay as little as possible — and it’s all perfectly legal for them.

The system is rigged.

One of the Sandy Hook families lives in hiding 1500 mi away from their baby’s grave due to people stalking them.

The graves of multiple children have been defaced.

One of the fathers had to submit DNA evidence to prove his son was a REAL HUMAN BEING after Alex Jones’ book said he never existed.

The Onion has reached a deal to acquire Infowars

• It will be turned into a parody site of itself

• Has the support of the Sandy Hook families

“A lot of people gave up on doing the right thing over the last two years. Despite an insane amount of threats & bullshit, we persevered"

(via Variety)

one of my favorite parts of the onion infowars saga is how Alex Jones lost his fucking mind when they first bought it,,,,, partly because he didn't know or understand what the onion was

Sorry to be overly sincere for a second, but here's why we decided to persevere through all of the bullshit and take over InfoWars.

There's just gotta be a line somewhere.

Thank you @pablo.show for letting me talk so openly about this.

The Onion Is Turning Alex Jones’ Infowars Into a Parody Site With a Rainbow Logo Love wins.

Love wins.

lol suck it.

Retired CIA analyst Larry Johnson has revealed that Donald Trump wanted to use nuclear codes during a White House meeting on Saturday night. General Dan Cain, the chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, stood up and said NO

This is the level of instability in the White House.

With this new InfoWars, we will democratize psychological torture, welcoming brutal and sadistic ideas from everyone, even the very stupidest among us. It will be like the Manhattan Project, only instead of a bomb, we will be building a website. The InfoWars of tomorrow will converge into a swirling vortex of content about content, talent acquiring talent, rings of concentric media mergers processing all human artistry into one endlessly digestible slurry. This will be a dank, sunless place, one where panic and capital feed on each other like twins in the womb of a hulking, unknowable monster—a monster known by many names, but which I like to call modern-day America.

What a beautiful piece of writing from my boss, @brycetetraeder.bsky.social.

We’ve hit a point in the news cycle where trump can no longer move people around to make it look like no one’s been fired

We all need to lodge an official complaint. It takes no time at all, and I've dropped a link to BBC Complaints in the comments. This is shocking.

The BBC integrating a specific political party's branding into a live to-camera report that lists that party's main (dubious) talking points is a gross dereliction of the broadcaster's editorial duties. If you live in the UK, you can complain to the BBC: www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comp...

OMFG I had to go and check that this ACTUALLY happened.

Since when does the BBC ever do chyrons with a political party's branding, rather than their own? Not to mention this is during a pre-election campaign purdah.

"The average IQ in Somalia hovers around 70, and that's the threshold for mentally handicapped ... they're a net drain on the society" -- even by MAGA standards, the unvarnished racism of this interview of Rep. Brandon Gill by Benny Johnson is breathtaking
