Nice hair, Noem.

Correct. Just like she gleefully shot her family dog and bragged about it in her book.

The real enemy of this administration is cosmopolitanism. Whether in Los Angeles or South Africa, multiracial pluralistic democracy is a threat to them because it means their “us or them” model of the world is wrong. So they stir up trouble on purpose and gleefully lie.

Took me 20 years to get around to watching Deadwood with the attention and consistency it deserves, and I keenly regret my tardiness.

Now I am saying things like "these cocksuckers appear to be committed to a course of action that I find entirely disagreeable" when someone cuts me off in traffic.

Lots of people are confused about this, but:

IT *IS* STILL POSSIBLE TO FILE FOR UNION ELECTIONS THROUGH THE NLRB

Bosses want us to think we can't hold union elections (because there's no national quorum at the NLRB) but that's just not true

In the 2000s, US Republicans thought about the world in similar ways to Britons, Europeans, Canadians.

This made for productive relationships regardless of who was in the White House.

The moderating layers around Trump #1 masked the divergence, but with Trump #2 it’s glaring.

I would also argue it's the culmination, or certainly a ripple effect of the slap on the wrist for the Bankers (just another facet of the capitalist class) following the 2008 financial crisis.

However, when they start advertising special merchandise on Banana Republic, they may have fully lost the thread with regars to a particular political bent. Hollywood kind of sucks absolute dick that way.

Eh? I feel like most people just adopt or allow the consciousness of the oppressive capitalist class to be reinforced in their minds. It's bad media literacy and a failure of critical thought, though, not because it reinforces in its own right.

Seeing your "At Home With Monsters" exhibit was one of the highlights of my life. Truly incredible. Some of the most incredible life-size models I've ever seen were on display there. Your eye for creating such imaginative creatures and monsters must be related to your enjoyment of painting models.

How many millions did Musk wire to a secret overseas bank account in order to enter fully into the offices and appartuses of the Executive? I want to know how little he needed to send to buy Trump off.

Fox News Contributor Katie Pavlich Calls Mehdi Hasan a ‘Terrorist’ Conservative commentator Ryan Girdusky was banned from CNN last October when he implied Hasan, who is Muslim, was a terrorist during a debate.

Totally normal and acceptable stuff from non-racist conservatives:

They're far greedier than they are insightful. This has been shown time and time again.

I love when discussions of potentially real-life folk heroes devolve into debates about which superhero is the best embodiment of a given political ideology. Instead of activating on material issues, we nerd out and argue over bullshit.

Post from Latino pollster Mike Madrid: “Doing some research for an upcoming article on the last “mass deportation” of Mexicans during the 1930’s. Over half of those deported were US citizens.”

Indeed. When they rounded up the Japanese Americans, myself and my family included, for internment during WWII out of fear over Japanese spies and saboteurs, two thirds of us were U.S. citizens.

Don’t think it won’t happen again when they come for the “undocumented.”

He forgot that McDonald's gives you AIDS or whatever.

I have also been thinking about this.

(I don't think I can take credit for the analogy, but I can no longer recall who I might have gotten it from, either.)

It's identifying the inherent hypocrisy of liberalism qua politics that support genocide, not unlike the liberalism that supported the system of slavery.

EXCUSE ME COULD YOU REPEAT THAT PLEASE

That's pretty specious reasoning, don't you think? How would a fictional telling of systemic failings of the war on drugs mean that conclusively in reality that the war on drugs can't be ended.

“fuck you, deported”

“what about my lawyer?”

“ha ha, fuck you, deported”

not enough staff? declare national security threat, take money out of the military budget, who’s gonna stop him

“who’s gonna stop him” is, fundamentally, the key to everything Trump says he will do in the second term

I will cure my burnout by committing to do more stuff.

Decade after decade of stochastic terror, gun rights fervor, & the foment of conspiratorial thinking by, from, on, & within the right, & yet it's somehow DEMOCRATS & the LEFT who need to "calm things down" or "lower the temperature?"

Nah son. We *been* calm, and quite fucking cool and collected.
…

may just turn out that the general background violence of a society that has "garden variety school shootings" turns out to be plenty of explanation all on its own

What we know about the Trump rally gunman so far | CNN Interviews with a half-dozen former classmates and neighbors of Thomas Crooks painted him as quiet and aloof, with some remembering him as a misfit in high school.

"A third classmate...said that Crooks was very smart, took honors classes, and was shy. She said that he had a group of friends who were fairly conservative, some of whom would wear Trump hats."

nothing so far differentiates this from a garden variety school shooting

"Project 2025 is conservatives vision for an American society that's a result of gutting all the gains made by the civil rights, abortion rights, LGBTIA+ rights, voting rights and environmental rights movements in order to establish an authoritarian government run by loyalists committed to serving a white, Christian nationalist agenda."

the season of Peaky Blinders we all deserve

Exactly. There's so much to work with, and Biden should just say it. "Hey Donald, remember when you raped someone then lied about her, a jury awarded a hundred million against you, then you lied about her again, and a jury awarded another hundred million against you? You're scum. You're trash."
