This war is so damn confusing. It’s why we shouldn’t let drunks and dementia patients run it.

This illustrates the need for broad and comprehensive reforms with money in politics. We need an international “No Dictators Day” before he steps up his attack on the nation he was supposed to govern, not humiliate. 😱🤬

This man is our nation’s enemy. He must be impeached. The world is watching.. 🤺🇺🇸

This is what a rigged system looks like.

The energy secretary who doesn't understand the energy market.

He might as well answer in Russian.

In a sane administration, the FBI Director doesn’t go on the morning news to prove he’s not a drunk, the Defense Secretary doesn’t quote Tarantino to prove he’s a man of God, and the President doesn’t take multiple cognitive exams to prove he’s not insane.

Pope Popping Taco McDiarrhea Pants in the jaw

More like 4.8% brain cells.

The DOJ is now 5 month in breach of releasing the Epstein files.

Holding these criminals accountable should be the Nuremberg of our time.

Why is it only normal people see how fucked up Trump is? Seriously. Most of the world thinks he’s insane.

The United States is destroying itself | Rebecca Solnit The daily news can’t adequately convey the administration’s sabotaging of our government, economy, alliances and environment

“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”

Fuck Palantir and especially PeterThiel. Why do we have an influx of South African emigrants who took what this country offered to get to where they're at, and are now undermining our democracy and society?

Palantir V @PalantirTech X.com Because we get asked a lot. The Technological Republic, in brief. 1. Silicon Valley owes a moral debt to the country that made its rise possible. The engineering elite of Silicon Valley has an affirmative obligation to participate in the defense ot the nation. 2. We must rebel against the tyranny of the apps. Is the iPhone our greatest creative if not crowning achievement as a civilization? The object has changed our lives, but it may also now be limiting and constraining our sense of the possible. 3. Free email is not enough. The decadence of a culture or civilization, and indeed its ruling class, will be forgiven only if that culture is capable of delivering economic growth and security for the public.

🧵 Why is Palantir advising on foreign policy?

This bit is interesting:

“National service should be a universal duty. We should, as a society, seriously consider moving away from an all-volunteer force and only fight the next war if everyone shares in the risk and the cost”

Full post ⬇️

At a time when mass surveillance and autonomous weapons companies like Palantir are openly announcing their plans for violent world domination, it is crucial that our attempts at “big tech reform” don’t actually give them more power—ie via government mandated age verification/identity software

Tim Curry IS VERY MUCH ALIVE.

It is his birthday so he is trending because people are gushing about how great he is, which is deserved.

And this guy, too.

This guy certainly fits in one of those categories.

Is anyone in the Trump administration not a drunk, a junky, a predator or a psycho?
