As gently as I can put it, the Administration is certainly governing as though they do not feel constrained by the US public being the most-armed public in modern history.

I didn’t get that so much of BobbyJr.’s contempt for vaccines came from a hatred of autistic people calcified as eugenics. And I’m embarrassed. What a disgraceful waste of someone else’s name and face.
Boy we’re getting real close to “so we should kill those useless eaters,” huh? But it’s not going to come first as a call for murdering disabled or neurodivergent people, it’s going to start exactly where it is - cutting them off from equal access to society, then cutting their services.

The DOJ lawyer who made the mistake of answering the court's questions about Abrego-Garcia candidly (eg yes he was mistakenly deported, a fact the Administration already has acknowledged), which got him put on administrative leave, has now been fired, ending his 15-year DOJ career..

Trade deficit. I have bought food from say, Chilis. They have never bought food from me.

There is a trade deficit with Chilis. I’m still doing fine.

The trade deficit argument SOUNDS compelling, but it’s a straw man with no relevancy

Everyone needs to understand what Elon and DOGE are building, an AI driven panopticon that will know everything about you and will be used to ensure compliance with their fascist agenda. They are creating a unified database of everything the federal government has on every single American.

The reason DEI exists is so that competent, qualified people don't get passed over in favor of mediocre incompetent white men who had a well-connected buddy.

Or so that utter morons who share war plans on the group chat don't hire their brother and get away with it bc they're white dudes.

These numbers are complete lies but the underlying argument — that Democrats are paying illegal immigrants to come here and become voters — is 100% Great Replacement Theory.

He’s spouting the exact same racist conspiracy that inspired mass shootings in Pittsburgh and Buffalo.
Musk: "The waste and fraud in entitlement spending -- that's the big one to eliminate. That's the half trillion, maybe 600 or 700 billion a year. That's also the mechanism by which Democrats attract & retain illegal immigrants by essentially paying them to come here & then turning them into voters."

Kinda worse than secession tbh. Its literally the "protect but not bind" thing where they want the benefits of being part of the United States but with none of the obligations
Secession. What they're describing is secession.

Like when hospitals sell off their assets and then rent them back... and then fold.
The General Services Administration released a list Tuesday of more than 440 buildings owned by the federal government that it may sell off in the months ahead, reports @jennifershutt.bsky.social. Four buildings in West Virginia are on the list.
Trump may put hundreds of federal buildings up for sale, including FBI, USDA, DOJ • West Virginia Watch
