I live in NC. Plenty of racists around here fly that Trump flag with the rebel one from their homes and trucks. I also see plenty posting support for the regime on other platforms. They will die racist.
I live in Missouri and it's the same thing.
I keep asking people if they think women should report their menstrual cycle to the state. They get all confused when I tell them that's a bill in our Statehouse
The brainwashing is extensive, but not surprising given that it’s a multi-pronged effort (Fox News, places of worship, the GOP on all media, Musk on Twitter, podcasts, YouTube, etc.). These people have been easy because their beliefs and bigotry primed them to begin with.
We've noticed the amazing, pointed questions on Jeopardy for the last few weeks. I wanted to put together a super cut of them, but then I realized 🥭 would probably threaten Jeopardy into 200 hours of rigged games to make his cabinet look competent.
It’s all hate. Whatever the type of hate, it’s all hate.
And it’s because they need someone else to blame for everything that is terrible in their lives. Because actually looking at themselves and seeing that it’s their own fault is just too scary.
Ouch. Except it’s not all their own fault. The deck has always been stacked against the working class and the poor. But it’s NOT the fault of “the other.” And “the other” has dealt with the same shit deal PLUS being “the other.” They are blaming the wrong people for the shit deal.
Exactly. Blaming "the other" only divides us. The real issue is systemic inequality affecting everyone, and we need to focus on the root causes, not scapegoating.
I was going to post this as a reply to a comment, but then I remembered not to feed the trolls.
Every person with a platform has a choice to make between standing up to fascism and enabling it. Ken has chosen wisely.
When it finally sinks in just how badly they've been conned they'll just hate the rest of us more because we've made them feel dumb. These are not people capable of changing or taking in information that's contrary to their deeply held ignorance.
Point 1 of your post reminded me of a book by Jane Jacobs “Systems of Survivals” which may be out of print. Just pulled it off my shelf to reread. Written in dialogue, if my memory serves me right, it explores how chaos develops when principles of business and governance are misapplied.
Trickle down includes the countries where low labor cost manufacturing has expanded international economies which in turn has expanded our economy. We have created an international marketplace. What happens when we manufacture everything here and other countries shut down our export markets ?
For one of my siblings it was "the transgenders" ... needed to keep them out of sports and bathrooms.
I'm trying real hard not to say TOLD YOU SO as they complain about their cleaner and gardener not showing up. And construction projects delayed indefinitely, and materials costs rising.
Women had no rights until suffrage & the fight for voting rights. We went from Anita Bryant to legalized gay marriage. Racism is a choice & white people have the power to change it.
I will not hold my breath. This country was built on racism and misogyny. That's why any attempts to move past are seen as un-American, and a threat to the fabric of this country.
And White America still has not collectively admitted that it has always been very wrong.
Christians spent the last two hundred years trying to create the White Christian version of Israel in the USA and from that came the Native American genocide, Slavery, etc.
Well now it’s hitting them hard & we need to keep telling & explaining this to them. We could have had continued prosperity with Kamala Harris’s leadership.
Why waste my breath? They’re either capable of understand it now or won’t be until they’re truly starving to death, by which point good luck because who will be left to help? (If I survive, I’ll be busy helping people who *haven’t* been trying to murder me for decades.)
It’s the false promises of prosperity for the favored class that they’re stuck on. They’ve been taught that others have to be beneath them in order to prosper.
A lot of those people believe that the natural state of the world is to be sorted into a hierarchy of some kind, which means someone has to be at the bottom. By extension, the idea of them being at the bottom terrifies them, because the old underclass might treat them as poorly as they do now.
I don’t explain anything. I just ask if owning the libs was worth taking chemo from cancer patients and killing babies with measles for LIES. Banning 9/1- and the holocaust from Fed websites prove American hating Nazis is all they are. No one cares about never forget. NOT 1! They can rot.
Ding ding ding ding! Correct, this country could have had universal health care almost 100 years ago, but one guy was like well if we do that the Blacks will have it too. That was enough put an end to that proposal.
Race wars are just class wars for dummies. White supremacists are too concerned with their participation trophies by way of nepotism through blood or proxy to whiteness. How bad is it? We literally cosplay that Trump isn't just Obama's equal. But superior in every way. That's the world we live in.
My 82-year-old mother in Salt lake City is a big Jeopardy fan and loves Ken.
She doesn't do the internet. She's going to love this tweet.
This might make her finally embrace the web.
😂
Don't hold your breath though.
I'm a 100%-watch-Jeopardy-daily fan. Him saying something like this was not a surprise for me. Over the past few years, he's let it show where his droll humor is directed. I'm just happy to see him on BlueSky!
This week, the House votes on the “No Rogue Rulings Act” (NORRA), H.R. 1526. If it passes, courts won't be able to block Trump’s illegal actions. Unchecked power. Please call your reps and ask them to vote NO.
Keep allowing a party that is ACTIVELY AND WRECKLESSLY working against everything progressives want to win, in service of some useless, counterproductive progressive purity test.
Green Party was very clear about their stance on the issue
And I wish more ppl understood what the purpose of the Electoral College is, I’ll give you hint, it was created at the same meeting they came up with the 3/5ths Compromise
Unless you can prove holdouts cost KH every swing state, it’s moot
But he did promise his Caravan of Cruelty Cultists that he would change their unaddressed circumstances. While KH promised more of the same system that failed them. It didn’t matter that he lied
Both are pro-genocide and that’s a non-starter for me
The difference is there was at least the glimmer of hope that things could change. Instead, now we have Trump, which one would you prefer at this point? Don’t answer that.
“The shutdown on top of the hurricane has caused Ms. Minton to rethink a lot of things."I voted for him, and he's the one who's doing this," she said of Mr. Trump. "I thought he was going to do good things. He's not hurting the people he needs to be hurting."
Like Susan Collins. She sure stood up to those tariffs, now. Her whole speech was about Maine, Maine, Maine. Oh…it hit your Maine lobstermen. Now you have something to say.🙄🙄 She went from her usual “very concerned” to an actual vote against. SMH
If we stand up together and fight back we will win! Call every day - over and over until they hear us! Write Emails! Boycott! Protest - March! NO ONE IS COMING TO SAVE US! We have to do this on our own! #EndCitizensUnited #ImpeachTrump #NoDOGE #HandsOffSocialSecuirty
It’s part of the plan, the long game.
Buffet sold out in December, what signal could have been more clear?
Believe me, this: Now, it’s time to Buy.
And for the haters still believing Tesla is going to stay down, you’re going to be disappointed.
Not one GOP voter is regretting their vote.
Bwahahahahaha! It most definitely matters! Now is not the time to get rid of the Department of Education. Just go on Twitter and read a few MAGAt posts!!
I don’t like to say mean things about people and their dental hygiene but, every time I see a maggot, that seems to be a common trait they have, little to no choppers 🤷♀️
And if they had their druthers, Social Security, Food Stamps, and housing assistance. You know Elon and Trump would like to just smash all that. (Though they may lie that they don't)
Maga is forced 2PAWN their goods due2trump tariffs/taxes. Liberals that don’t have billion$ to short sell/grift stock market- can take advantage by buying great 42” flat screen at pawn shop for $20! W remote! Kitty approves! Red state liberals- check out your local pawn shops! Buy maga tears!
Speak the truth. It didn't start with Trump. Republicans have been persistent and consistent for decades in making the ground fertile for MAGA. We didn't get here suddenly. I'm old enough to have lived that history.
But I DO feel sorry for all those who didn’t vote for this chaos and are trapped in the 3rd class staterooms as the SS Trumptanic goes down by the bow. His henchmen in the Cabinet and Congress will be pulling a Bruce Ismay and grabbing a seat in the lifeboats.
In 90+° heat. 🤨 Also, tearing off shingles and reroofing houses…almost every roofing crew I see around here has Mexican employees and that is HARRRD work, especially in the summer. 🥵
You are probably going to get some heat for this. I'm sure you considered that so thank you for doing it anyway. These acts of courage shine bright and stand in stark contrast to the abject cowardice of the CEOs and law firms that are falling all over themselves to kiss the ring. #Jeopardy! Fan4Life
I absolutely agree!
I grew up with the original Jeopardy on in the background when I was a kid, and have followed since this the “new” version started in ‘84, the year I graduated high school.
Now I can say I’ve never been prouder to be a super fan.
I heard Vietnam is. Vietnam is a poor country. It’s understandable that may have happened. I don’t think the EU, Japan, or South Korea; like China hasn’t been, will be quite so hat in hand.
Penguins united against tyranny. I can't wait to see the penguin delegation walk into the White House. Will they complain Trump is only wearing a suit not a tuxedo?
Yes. Do I think the administration is exaggerating what countries are doing? O hell yes. But I could see poor, 3rd world countries pleading for relief. Hopefully our old allies come to their rescue.
I hate that I wish America will fail but we are doing horrible things
You have to be patient. His goal is to create a much more fundamentally racist economy along the lines of mercantile colonial trade in the golden age of the 1800s. Before or after the Civil War?
Interesting, I didn’t know that. But you’d think that would mean the execs lean conservative maybe? Or maybe they just are neutral. That would be shocking lol.
Rush Limbaugh subbed for Pat Sajak on his talk show when Rush was reading the obituaries of men who died of aids for comedy. Both complete garbage humans

A petard is a bomb, not a flagpole.
Shakespearean reference to a man blown up by the bomb he was planting.
The internet & social media are wonderful. We learn & correct so many things. ☺️

Even if it means their own children will be persecuted, its still worth it to them.
I wish for nothing but despair in a long LONG healthy life for them, so they can live in the mess they've made.
And it’s because they need someone else to blame for everything that is terrible in their lives. Because actually looking at themselves and seeing that it’s their own fault is just too scary.

[You're probably too young to get the monetary reference!]
Stay well.
Love ya, follow ya, Ken
Bruh. Two things.
1. Countries and businesses are two completely different things and require different approaches to properly manage.
2. Trumpty-Dumpty was a shit businessman to begin with.
Or at least numbers for a nobody like me. Muting this for now so my notifications don’t get flooded. Have a lovely day y’all. 🖤
That's a Daily Double.

Their reinvigorated privilege will lead to prosperity, as Trump has been reminding them.

I hate & despise the govt.'s continuing program of giving aid to Israel in bombing Gaza, but I am not a one-issue voter.

Go to the movies? Drag queen. Go to the super market? Drag queen. Throw out the trash? Drag queen rises from the depths…
I do see cons spazzing out tho :/

Who is Ken Jennings?
Reported and blocked
I love this take
Oh yeah that was Jo and Kamala’s economy!
Shit, Ken.
I get so mad when they would say reducing the party to racism was "uncharitable" but 👀 if it smells like shit it usually is.
