Earlier I was gonna make a generic ‘how was this allowed to happen’ post RE *checks notes* the Trump/Melania crypto coins, and realised this was all dismissive of the fact he’s physically unfit for office, and also a rapist, and now Musk is literally doing Nazi salutes, so, I’m just tired - ThreadSky

Breaking News: The apocalypse horseman of pestilence is in charge of public heath and safety. Suggest that the horseman of famine be in charge of the department of agriculture

Didn’t they genuinely elect the guy who had half his brain eaten by a worm and he wants everyone to drink milk that people knew was not good to drink in that way several centuries ago

Because I feel like that is worse than what you just said

plecopleco.bsky.social•40 days ago

Yeah 😭

It’s very much a feeling of ‘I want to say something about the insanity of this specific thing’ but there’s so so so many things, and it grows by the hour. What do you mean, in the one hour I took as a reprieve from political bullshit, some other Thing happened

Years ago I read a (in hindsight real fucking Problematic, but) good article that compared toxic corporate cultures to abusive relationships: “keep the crises rolling” was a core principle in both. This applies here whether or not those clowns are doing it on purpose

blacksmoke1033.bsky.social•42 days ago

I get that, I feel like the thing with tiktok and those announcements thanking Trump, and all this apparent rigorous censorship, should be massive massive news - but it lasted for like 6 hours before something else completely unacceptable happened

liasae.bsky.social•42 days ago

Exactly. And that’s a bloody nightmare to organize or even survive around, because what do you pay attention to? What is random bullshit, what is a genuine threat you need to build tactics against? The best bet is to slow down but that’s real scary to do when everything feels dire

blacksmoke1033.bsky.social•42 days ago

The fact his extremely long court case wrapped up and it got like 4 hours on a front news page is a really really really really really big issue - like most people simply did not even have the time to notice, let alone be educated on the outcome

I swear if I put my phone down and check Reddit in 6 hours and see a literal alligator has been sworn in as White House receptionist ‘to eat anyone who disturbs President Trump’ I’m at the mental point where I’ll just be like OH! OK! YEAH! YEAH THAT’S FINE! THIS IS QUITE NORMAL ACTUALLY!

nuclearvampire.bsky.social•41 days ago

I think I'd trust the alligator more. They're also more likeable.

He signed a bunch of those I do what I want things that the President can do. That says all Federal employees can no longer work from home. Also, no more employing federal employees. Also a big federal employee just resigned to run for government. So. What? idek.

Next up, a horse named Incitatus is appointed to the Senate

blacksmoke1033.bsky.social•42 days ago

I genuinely

GENUINELY

Would not be surprised if Trump unpardons the thanksgiving turkeys and fucking eats them on camera with Elon

Somebody go get them, please, I fear for them

Related: Trump once attempted to pay his legal bills with a race horse. Law firm rep's comment in refusing was something like "We haven't accepted horses as payment since the 1800s."

blacksmoke1033.bsky.social•42 days ago

I want to know if the horse was, in horse currency, even considered a decent payment

blacksmoke1033.bsky.social•42 days ago

In related news, I do accept horses as currency at my convention table; the horse must be presented up front and is good for 3 shirts and 5 pin badges

Partial horse also accepted

tccoyote.bsky.social•42 days ago

No clue, but Trump reportedly kept trying to insist to the lawyer it was worth more than his legal bill

*continues trying to distract people with positive, mostly music-based, videos every 20-40 minutes*

I'm just so fucking numb to it all by this point.

These people could literally slit the throat of new born babies live on stage and they'd still be in power.

blacksmoke1033.bsky.social•42 days ago

Well they’ve been born so that’s okay
