I do EDA stuff to help make chips. You're doing that kettlebell swing wrong. A day you do something to help animals is a good day.

It's just astounding how much these guys despise the country which provided the infrastructure and conditions necessary for them to become fabulously wealthy
A Palantir billionaire just called for public hangings.

Saw a pickup with a TRUMP WON sticker. Is the implication laws no longer matter? He won, now he's king? Luckily Republicans are extremely consistent so when a D wins the same logic will no doubt apply.

every so often it hits me that the SecDef - sorry, SecWar - has his job solely because the president is an ignorant, demented dotard who thinks that being on TV means something in real life. just absolutely infuriating that these two cretins are in charge in the US military.

Trump translator:
"[X] really surprised a lot of people" = "[X] surprised me but nobody else"
"Nobody knew/could have predicted [X]" = "every conscious human on the planet except me knew/predicted"
it's his version of the royal we, but just used to put a veneer on his being so fucking stupid

The only reason Republicans have a reputation as "fiscal hawks" is that the press refuses to tell the public basic facts about what they do when they are in office.

the destruction of chattel slavery is one of the great accomplishments in our nation's history and the reason conservatives hate celebrating it is because doing so legitimizes the black counter-narrative of the united states

Trump apparently truly thinks "groceries" is some esoteric obscure term. remind me again why the Democrats dropped the "weird" attacks last year?

eg if he thinks when you buy something you "lose money" and should therefore avoid that, then what does he think the point of having money is? why be rich if you're never going to buy stuff??

I know you can play this game all day but just imagine the head-exploding apoplexy if Biden answered "I don't know" to "don't you need to uphold the Constitution"
WELKER: Your secretary of state says everyone who's here, citizens and non-citizens, deserve due process. Do you agree?
TRUMP: I don't know. I'm not a lawyer. I don't know.

Absolutely infuriating and terrifying. If Trump's stated goal were completely destroying what America is supposed to be I don't know what he'd do differently.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.
