On Thursday Trump made a multi billion dollar PERSONAL bet on a competing energy source and Monday he straight attempted to cancel potential competition.
It's incredible how inured the world has become to his naked corruption.

And here we are...
Once right-wing oligarchs gain control of just about every national and local media company, social media platform, and big AI, as they are systematically doing with little notice from the general public, it will be game, set and match for the Republic.

Most people in Norway, Sweden, and Denmark don't want to come here to live. They'll come for tourism, or they used to before Trump turned us into a shithole country, but why the hell would anybody from one of those places want to live here?
TRUMP: “I said why is it we only take people from shithole countries? Why can't we have some people from Norway, Sweden, Denmark… But we always take people from Somalia— places that are filthy, dirty, disgusting.”
Such a mystery what he means when he says this stuff, isn’t it?

This entire grift relies on convincing people that they don't know how to do the things they have always known how to do, and ironically, if it works, we will, in a very short amount of time, forget how to do all the things we have always known how to do.

I can’t believe how much of the Trump era is about solving problems that *don’t* exist while making all the problems that *do* exist, worse.
There is no one who thinks the biggest problem with air travel right now is not having an area to do pull-ups.

Again I feel like it's relevant that we're having these discussions in the shadow of a president that we all know could not possibly comprehend the notion of faithfully executing the will of another if his life depended on it
it is actually kind of bananas how unitary executive theorists have taken a straightforward clause requiring the president to "faithfully execute the laws" and transformed it into a grant for the exercise of limitless unenumerated power.
The Take Care Clause was a byproduct of the lessons learned from the Glorious Revolution that the executive should not be able to dispense with the law promulgated by the legislature. It was not a constitutional provision to empower the executive branch— but to constrain it!

I walk round there a lot, and loads of the road names round there - Draper Street and so on - recall the Huguenot community of refugees who arrived there from France, not speaking any English, and eventually became cockneys.

The MAGA/Q-Anon obsession w/pedophilia conspiracy narratives traces back to the 1980s "Satanic Panic".
This is now well known.
Less known is the "Satanic Panic" arose in tandem w/the spread of [patriarchal] authoritarian & cultic methods of social control within American evangelical Christianity.

Repression often breeds pathology. Right-wing ideology usually enforces strict sexual repression & shame around normal human sexuality. This leads to warped, secretive behaviors that manifest in extreme, exploitative ways rather than healthy relationships.

Good morning. We knew the answers to questions like these when the JCPOA was in effect.
Again, in a more serious country, unilaterally withdrawing from that agreement would have immediately ended Trump's first presidency & destroyed the GOP's reputation on national security policy for a generation.

Instead of CUTTING Social Security benefits, Congress should INCREASE payments by $200 per month and extend the solvency of the Social Security program by 75 YEARS.
