One of the most disgusting parts of this, is that by electing him after outing himself as an election denialist who doesnt believe in elections he doesnt win, he can somewhat credibly claim that the ppl voted for this version. He says his power only ends where he says so, & the country voted for it.
“I’m” winning the war
Me me me me me
The malignant narcissist can’t help himself
Agree with the theme of the piece and the argument, but we should immediately question why it hasn't/doesn't happen much to the "new media" schtick. It doesn't get factually/intellectually challenged b/c politicians are chasing their audience, not the other way around.
"Between fuel and the bribe we had to pay to get it processed, seriously, there's nothing left."
Ppl seem to be in complete denial of how seriously this executive branch is committed to not handing over the almighty power they've warped it into. The idea he's scared of troop deaths in the mideast is totally absurd when he per se will need so much domestic violence to overthrow elections here.
In their minds they're Roy Cohn & J. Edgar Hoover crushing Jeffrey Goldberg's commie hippie rag.
Trump’s behavior has been so erratic that any deal might be metaphysically impossible. One cannot make a bargain with an entity that is categorically incapable of behaving in a consistent manner. buff.ly/uSUNIbg
![Former Biden administration senior advisor Amos Hochstein says he supported last summer's Operation Midnight Hammer, in which the Trump administration struck Iran's nuclear facilities, because "we had thought internally in the Biden administration we may have to take [strikes] if there was a second term."

Biden's point man on Lebanon and one of his overall most important advisor for MENA said yesterday morning that he agreed with Trump's strikes on Iran last year lol.
Democrats really need to reassess how people like this were (and still are) allowed to be at the top of their foreign policy echelon.
The throughline btwn the pandemic & reelecting a fascist who doesn't believe in elections, IMO, is that it connected people even more to their phones/tech, which gave the oligarchs running them greater algorithmic control. People locked down into more warped feeds.
a 26 year old half filipino nazi. only in america baby!
Gil Duran tweet: TLDR: Fascism in response to Palantir's long fascists screed on X.
"Your Account is Suspended" Message on X
The CEO of Palantir posted a fascist manifesto on X.
I pointed out that it was fascist—which resulted in a permanent suspension from X (my second time!).
So, when you hear the tweeters complaining that BlueSky is intolerant, remember why many of us came here in the first place.
A Forbes article about a father who killed eight children, with an embedded prediction widget inviting people to speculate on whether "Congress will pass new gun safety legislation before 31st December 2026"

The speed of the crash when they decide to get out is going to be 1929-like.
Real nice place we're in where corrupt slush fund is the best case scenario for the ICE holding warehouses. Capacity to indefinitely jail all political opponents without trial being the other.
There's absolutely no reason for the SEC+B1G to be playing CCG's anymore. Just waiting for the backlash from an injury.
It looks jungle primary enabled initially, but I don't even know if CA does that for congressional elections.
A schtick of "calling it like it is" =/= substituting something nobody does in for the "it" so as not to offend.
He thinks he's entitled to threaten nukes until they give him a Nobel peace prize. That's being nice.
I don't like him, but I'd rather have the PGA be the best players than not. I'm too committed to the US Open being the best major to not respect his resume.
Lmao at the projection every single time. Obviously they dream of some "kill the lib justice!" bat signal going up to them.
We pay taxes. They steal our money and they use the government we pay for to make their rich friends richer. My latest on how Donald Trump is using the federal government as his private ATM Machine.

They want to be the anti pronouns in bio/email signature candidate. But the whole point of such a candidate is to say so directly. Avoiding an example anybody listening has ever engaged in is the lazy option.

“A Supreme Court that does not share a common factual world with the people it governs is not merely conservative. It is untethered from democratic reality.”
There's a specific Platner-hate brain rot on here because he became a proxy for the still-on-Xitter Dem primary voter. The tattoo & whatever else don't account for it on their own.
Important thread on how Palantir’s manifesto is against the core features of democracy
State govt's should extort a security cost out of them.
We’re out here every week, fighting for this country. No War, no ICE, no Epstein cover up. We will never stop.
