i really do hate how much hate this administration fills me with and how much dread, and how much anger. just a cavalcade of negative emotions as they continue to unleash a tsunami of evil things in our name
NEW: The Department of Government Efficiency has built a “firewall” separating Elon Musk’s team from the 200 or so legacy United States Digital Service workers, sources tell WIRED.
It seems possible that things which seem equally inconceivable today will, 12 weeks from now, be our reality.
We are on track for something close to worst case scenario.
Maybe the track will change.
But maybe not. We need to expand our idea of what is possible.
Bc as of now we are not prepared.
Imagine you tell Hewitt that Trump will demand Mike Turner be removed from House Intel.
And that RFK will be nominated for HHS, Hegseth for Defense, and Tuli for DNI.
Again: This would have been called hysteria. Catastrophizing. Inconceivable.
Imagine it’s October and you tell Hugh Hewitt that in the first 48 hours Trump will free all 1,600 convicted insurrectionists and will strip Bolton and Pompeo of secret service protection.
He’d have called you crazy. TDS. Inconceivable.
I think a lot about failures of imagination. 5 days in I’d say we’re close to worst-case scenario.
Loomer making some sense again as Zuckerberg goes on Rogan and plays the victim
You still have people saying, "I don't see any evidence that Musk is a neo-Nazi." And it's like, I can't know what's in his heart, but he follows them on Twitter, retweets them, promotes their conspiracy theories, parrots their rhetoric, and now recommends their party for Germany. But who knows?
Maybe Trump can be appealed to to respect the norm that the president isn’t supposed to act like an unpaid outside advisors bitch.
1) Trump will be told to wave this away, it’s just being said by Dems to annoy him
2) Musk may even tell him don’t fall for it
3) But some Musk opponents will make sure Trump knows about it
4) It will annoy Trump
Why is he unhappy? Didn't you know a fox host is the most qualified person for the job, Micah?
You're a lawyer and can't detect his sarcasm? Maybe you shouldn't type out tweets when you have so much irrational anger that you can't even detect it.
I just started playing the first game, can't believe I've never heard of it until a few weeks ago.
While legacy media focuses on the umpeenth Hunter Biden story, they ignore that Republicans are *right now* trying to overturn the election in North Carolina by challenging 60,000 votes in the state Supreme Court race won by Democrat Allison Riggs.
I discuss with @marcelias.bsky.social:
The 2024 U.S. economy in a nutshell
the people who have taken this election as an opportunity to say "Dems need to get more populist" are very reluctant to acknowledge that also means "Dems need to get worse at governing"
literally the entire gimmick of populism is promising a bunch of impractical bullshit that sounds nice
This is still about President Obama winning in the biggest landslide of the 21st century so far. It triggered a psychotic break in the minds of white supremacists and it never ended. White supremacists are not just loud, violent thugs, they are also everyday people, your coworker, the bus driver etc
If Trump is planning to fire the current director that is a very big deal and should be treated as such by everyone in government and the media.
“Highly irregular” does not begin to describe such a move.
Trump pardoned Jared Kushner's dad while Jared worked in the White House, then yesterday appointed Jared's dad as an ambassador, but Polis didn't have the same energy for that. Pathetic stuff that I for one won't soon forget.
The lack of self-awareness is almost impressive.
I know there’s a thrill in trying to block these nominations. But the reality is, the President mostly gets who he wants, eventually. If he is determined to smash our institutions, he will succeed.
Extravagant knee bending and enthusiastic sucking up are new skills for him.
Red state voters voting to take away their own stuff to own the libs
Going to get a lot of mileage with this screenshot
all she did was exist
A Trump supporting, anti-trans, anti-gay Republican was elected commissioner of the county where I grew up. He won despite being in jail on election night for a sexual assault in Vegas.
It’s now come out that the woman he assaulted was his daughter.
