I hear the President has decreed that it is possibly a crime to refer to Americans as "fascists," but "fascism" is a word that has a relatively clear meaning that's worth understanding. Here's how an official publication of the US Army defined "fascism" in 1945.
The central point is that when fascism came to America it wouldn't call itself that, nor would it be wearing a swastika. It would call itself "patriotic" and "100% American."

"The legislative filibuster, which creates a 60-vote threshold, only exists when it is convenient for Senate Republicans. Whenever the filibuster threatens to impede a Republican priority, it is ignored."

There it is! "Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt." He is referring to them weathering their collusion becoming public, and now is the big payback: together until the end.
Trump to a reporter who asks him about Russia breaking a ceasefire: "What if a bomb drops on your head right now ... Putin went through a hell of a lot with me. He went through a phony witch hunt."

Dear US taxpayers, asking Ukraine to give back money. With that money you bought:
863k Russian soldiers shot
10k Russian tanks blown up
370 Russian aircraft downed
28 Russian ships sank
$180 bln of US arms sales increase

Having a bit of buyer's remorse? No refunds.

At first I was like "Whaat? there was a protected bike lane in San Mateo??". Nope. It was just a painted line.

Now they're removing even that, because parking. And they're gonna call the shared road a "bike boulevard". (thanks for reporting this mockery, @cafedujord.bsky.social )

In the days when Assad regime was falling, the US govt was calling for "deescalation"

When it felt, TV was telling "the rebels aren't exactly the good guys"

The US knew about Sednaya slaughterhouse and the mass graves. And preferred Assad to stay in power, because "stability".

Amoral losers.

Trumpists' favorite taunt - "TDS" - sounds especially sinister when you consider what usually comes next.

1. The opposition are mentally sick
2. They should be confined in psychiatric hospitals

> we have also documented what I would call "meaningless torture" – if there is ever such a thing. They've got all the information but they want to teach you a lesson. That lesson is "you need to fear us".

FSB is doing exactly the same in occupied Ukraine.

Biden will not utilize all $6.5 bln of drawdown authority because he is… "unwilling to draw down US inventories"

Seems with Trump's recent okaying foreign policy assignments Biden is now comfortable with leaving Ukraine in his hands. So the drip-feeding policy is back.
