Intimidation is typical of the maga thug regime.
Keep certain people “in their place” by treating them like crap.

In essence, it's a desire for control in a chaotic world.
If one "really knows what's going on" it's akin to a religious or cult outlook.
It gives the person a feeling of security.
Even when the "reality" they've discovered is sinister.
Either way, it's delusional.
And thus unhealthy.

I was gonna say, it's not even harmless.
Believing really strongly in things without evidence leads nowhere good.
Listening to people obsess on 5G, UFOs (aliens!), etc.
It doesn't come off as healthy.

This RFK jr character....never really trusted that guy tbh.
some....troubling behavior over the years.

“Cleaning up the risk pool”
Good lord.

Definitely a plausible scenario.
likely even.

In maga world this is what is considered a visionary.

If he was fit for the gig he would not have been considered for the gig.
Anyone who agrees to work for a psychopath has already told us everything we need to know.

What's the worst that could happen?
(lol)

Cool.
So lots of soldiers living in close quarters will be getting sick.
That sounds like a good plan.

Market.
Manipulation.
$$$$$$$$$$$

And just wait.
He will be endorsing whatever republican runs in 2028.

He realized he can get more clicks by going anti trump.
And he is.

Would be funny if his secret service guys were just texting "uh oh Kash is zooted out of his skull again, we're gonna have to be on our toes tonight...."

One of the dangers of religious fanaticism is that death is not seen as a negative.
If you get to go to paradise forever....it's a good deal.

Current day americans don't understand how precious all the science of the last 50 years has been.
The number of lives saved (and to be saved in the future), the amount of misery avoided by scientific development.
All tossed in the garbage for this pack of fools.

I'd be surprised if security didn't have ways of hiding this kind of language.
Part of their job is protecting powerful people with questionable attributes.

I doubt he has the stability to stay in congress for as long as sanders.
I also doubt he will duplicate Fetterman.
He will be his own kind of not great imo.
Not a team player.
Jumping in front of cameras for attention, etc.

I bet he could get a full on swastika on his face and gain support for it.
Nothing gets support like doubling down on doubling down.

The thing here is he's got a choice:
Be an election denier.
Or not take this job.
Those are the two choices.
Trump would not let him have the job unless he denied the election.
This in no way justifies his behavior, but it probably explains his behavior.

Kevin Warsh just lost me. He argues he's going to be an independent Fed Chair, but refuses to acknowledge that Trump lost the 2020 election. If you can't state simple facts when you're in the political spotlight, you aren't independent. You're a coward.

Walking the foot/bike path on the hudson there are LOTS of geese hanging out.
Occasionally I have seen them get pissed off, but never at people, usually at each other.
And they actually do the meme w the head low to the ground.
Probably wouldn't be to intimidating to a human.

If I had an angry horse running right at me I would definitely get out of the way.😂

I for one would like to not live through a depression.
I guess I’m the crazy one.

It’s amusing.
Surely a zero tax socialist utopia is possible.😂

I guess republicans have their maga and the far left has its version.
Make America 1930 again.
Trumps preferred era is 70 years earlier than that.

And FDR had to sign off on lynching in order to get the south to support the new deal.
And yet apparently democrats “compromise too much” these days.😂

100 years ago it was “good politics” to support lynching and refuse all immigrants/refugees.
A wildly xenophobic time.

Yup.
And his actions in 2024 had a very specific goal.
A goal he successfully achieved.

Starts a war of choice with no plan, against the advice of his generals.
Then due to mental problems can’t actually do the war or the end it.
Dangerously unfit is an understatement.
