Sure, there’s a difference between being in charge and being in control, but the Trump administration & the GOP are already complicit in authoritarian violence and intimidation, and that’s enough.

The thing is, there’s no right-wing media apparatus, there’s no manipulation machine cuz they don’t need one. The GOP elites, the gazillionaires, the propagandists, they know that as long as they make life worse for people, that those who suffer will want life to be just as awful for everyone else.

“How affordable is this healthcare?” ≠ “Affordability is a scam.”

Pretty sure it doesn’t matter when you have control over the military, all the intelligence services, a lawless militia, the majority of local law enforcement, the Supreme Court and Congress.

Meritless Meritocracy

If it’s looking even close to a blue wave in 2026, expect full shenanigans from Trump & his weasels. The Constitutional Crisis, for all intents and purposes, is behind us. The authoritarian machinations are in motion and they will tear apart our elections if they have to.

New tractors and combines are incredible feats of engineering and machinery but they cost 500k to a million dollars. God knows what he’s babbling on about exactly but I’m sure he’s trying to sound like he’s sympathetic towards small farmers when really he doesn’t give two shits about them.

I certainly understand why she would cancel, but not showing up to rub some of those words in their faces is equally telling….and I don’t mean that as a reflection upon her.

Why Gates is bloviating about a future that will never happen and an AI that will never achieve what he thinks it will
achieve is beyond me oh wait BILLIONAIRES ARE THE BEST THEY’RE SO SMART AND DREAMY AND THEY’LL DO ANYTHING FOR US LITTLE PEOPLE

This is all so wildly depressing. I’m gonna ask the Manhattan Institute if there’s a denial percentage I can crawl into.

Trump starts trade wars with our best and strongest trading partners, throws tariffs at the wall like a monkey in the dark and upends our agribusiness commodity markets from top to bottom and there are people who are still like “Yeah, but the Democrats are worse.” You can’t make this sh*t up.

He sure as sh*t knows, he’s just trying to look like a libertarian while obfuscating his cold, dead GOP heart.

Congress could impeach Hegseth if they wanted to, or any other cabinet member for that matter. Sounds like Paul wants to do something without having to do anything.

I guess, if you dig insufferable lectures and intellectual colloquialism, otherwise for us atheists just going about our lives, we’ve always maintained that you’re all nuts.

Contemporary country music has been so vapid, so cut and paste, so formulaic, so bland and uncurious for so long, that it might as well have been AI diarrhea.

WILL come with a cost

People in this administration are breaking the law?!
GET OUTTA HERE NO WAY🤦‍♂️

Japanese Americans were pointing this out a long time ago, as were many, many other Americans, critics, historians, pundits, anyone paying attention, people with a pulse and critical thinking skills…

We will never recover from the onslaught of lies, obfuscation, misinformation and disinformation that the GOP have rained down upon Americans for the last few decades.
