His brand of it is particularly garish but all authoritarianism is basically government by spoiled child. No capacity for or interest in any principles. People who are nice to me get treats, people who are mean to me get abuse. I get what I want or I cry and thrash. Embarrassing
President Trump warns an Australian reporter that he’s hurting Australia because he asked him about his business activity: You are hurting Australia very much right now. They want to get along with me. Your leader is coming to see me soon, I'm going to tell him about you.

I feel like an idiot for thinking that the shooter being a groyper would at all stop the GOP from saying the Left should be dismantled. I really dont know how you're supposed to deal with people who live in a different reality.

Charlie Kirk spent his life‘s work and all of his energy and time targeting out-groups while arguing for a world in which gun massacres would be easy to enact, plentiful, and inevitable, and he became famous and wealthy doing it, and we’re now not supposed to mention that because it’s not polite.

Mainstream news seems to be showing Dems calling out the administration. Gives me hope that the curtain is falling down
Also my bet is on them using Hegseth as a sacrificial lamb

The most obvious lesson to draw from the leaked Signal chat is that these people really are morons. It's not a public act, it's not a schtick, there's not some secret back room where they drop the facade. They are genuinely stupid, incompetent people.

They're called public records for a reason. Starting today, WIRED will *stop paywalling* articles that are primarily based on public records obtained through the Freedom of Information Act, becoming the first publication to partner with @freedom.press to offer this for our new coverage.
Wired is dropping paywalls for FOIA-based reporting. Others should follow
As the administration does its best to hide public records from the public, Wired magazine is stepping up to help stem the secrecy

A reminder in dark times: kindness, mercy, decency, and respect towards the least of us enrages Trumpists. It burns them. It’s like a mirror that shows them how they fall short of humanity.
Kindness and decency towards the people Trumpists hate is not just right; it torments Trumpists.

My first (and for a while only) exposure to Darude: Sandstorm was at Six Flags Great America where during Fright Fest they would take the enclosed teacup ride, black it out, fill it with fog and lights and stuff, then blast the music as you spun yourself to death and it was beautiful.

American politics makes a lot more sense when you realize that the GOP is afraid of pissing off the GOP base, and the Dems are afraid of pissing off the GOP base, but neither party is afraid of pissing off the Dem base.

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.
