As the train of fascism, steadily approaching the platform, slowly pulled in, the journalist traded clever ledes while the historians made notes and the politicians wrote letters.

The rightwing media silo perpetuating fantasy is withstanding scrutiny scarily well, in light of Charlie Kirk's death, extrajudicial killings in the Gulf of America, and a reassessment of current events;
we are now in the post-Beer Hall Putsch phase and pre-Kristallnacht. Rage will be fomented.

The damnable thing is that while he tried to keep as many backdoor channels as possible open with Russia, he doesn’t need them anymore. He’s just publicly Putin’s bitch, and I guess MAGA Mericans are cool with that.
If the President doesn’t want to be called a Russian asset, perhaps he should stop acting like a Russian asset.

Mark Kelly: "The message he sent a couple days ago was he declared that loyalty to the Constitution is now punishable by death. Those are serious words coming from the president. He's trying to intimidate us. But I'm not going to be intimidated."

What would be wrong with a life and political philosophy that was solely devoted to determining what was always the greater good and then implementing these good ideas.
This is definitely not the touted or ulterior agenda of Republican Party and the bigger the Democratic Party tent is, the better.

Trump cuts taxes for rich, raises taxes for working families while slashing basic social services, his paramilitary terrorizes working families while his family enjoys historic $10+ billion crime spree with no rule-of-law.
What matters is Trump’s policies, not his rhetoric.

That the rightwing has been screaming for blood for decades, militias exist from MI to MS, but a vice principal who spoke with emotion and hyperbole against ICE is arrested and charged for a crime.

Not sure where it places me in hopes and mixed ideology, but in this roughly current structure, we could have special interest factions forming coalitions in a single Democratic Party State?

I’m definitely doing whatever it takes to be at that table and just assuming it’s all happily sunk cost, but I’d really just wanna have a drink with him.

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

The absurdity of this is that they want us to hate the New Yorker Mamdani but embrace the home of 9/11 hijackers, terrorist financiers, and a jihadist strain of Islam.

So there wasn't pedophilia from Trump, just literally around 24/7 with Jeff, trafficked minors all about, so he can get rubles from... the guys who were already overpaying in his properties to keep him afloat?
the president, who tried to appoint another pedophile to be his attorney general, is trying to cover up his relationship with the world's most famous sex trafficker. his defenders have suggested that this may only be because the trafficker arranged payments to him from Russian oligarchs.
