Somehow, they think this IS healthcare.

Pure Evil. They have funded law schools and think tanks and money laundering farms for decades to be as thorough as possible. No pretense of decency.

The GOP is the 'I love the US so much I had to kill her because she disobeyed me' party.

We have it all here now, so far, missing only mandatory sieg heiling and cholera outbreaks.
Pundits, politicians: Please stop saying, "we are on the verge." We are well in it now.
We are 'waist deep in the Big Muddy, but the big fools say to push on.'

Medically questionable or John Birch/GOP Cuckoo for Cocoapuffs?

But, if the goal is to destroy the government, make people's lives miserable, and enrich two of your croniies,it has been a huge success.
You have to use the GOP filter to see the success clearly.

He is their fascist intellectual guru. Lunacy with money.
I just watched Mountainhead. The banality of evil. They confuse amorality with superiority. The smug thrill of destroying the planet just because you can.

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his needs." Unpay him.

Hate, terror, destruction, versus hope, trust, progress. Such a difficult choice for millions of enthralled fascists.

Democrats? What Democrats? Where? Are they going to start wondering if it's time to tentatively contemplate preparing to try to do something?
Maybe they need 10 more dollars.

AI is not a cool toy or an exciting new technological advance.
It is erasing the last vestiges of truth from our Murdoch/Heritage/Maga world.
History, news, science, and culture will all be invented by the John Birchers and their sick spawn.

Yes, Elisa, but what else do they do? They stalk, beat, kidnap, and terrorize the most innocent and vulnerable, illegally, unconstitutionally, and immorally. Is that not the bigger story?

The Miinistry of Truth produces fake report isn't really news any longer. Up is down, war is peace, transparency is 'nothing to see here'. Statistics and citations are faked, from SCOTUS to DHS.
This is not recoverable. The tin foil hat wearing brigade is running things.

I'm wondering why our water is treated at all. Ban fluoride, ban chloride. Bring back cholera.

Hmmmm... He wants to preserve "something"... Does it rhyme with Apartheid?

"Unconstitutional" and "illegal" are now meaningless words.
Do we still need SCOTUS?

But they'll (shudder) become dependent on being fed, feeling safe, and feeling valued.

Sinclair Lewis "It Can't Happen Here," fully realized.
It is hard to grasp because while some people are thrown into gulags, some play pickleball.
We protest and call our MOC, and they legalize machine guns.

President Biden is a current major distraction for Democrats?
Gee, I was busy being distracted by the lunaric death cult in charge right now.
Please, WAPO/NYT/CNN/WSJ, tell us more about the feckless democrats.

Backfiring? No.
MAGA/DOGE is working perfectly. Pulling out the foundation makes the house collapse. Please stop pretending they have any other motivation.

GOP forever: we don't need law or regulation since any individual injured person can hire a lawyer.
GOP now: we meant only magats can hire a lawyer.

AI greatly increases our energy consumption. It is a huge waste of energy on our power grid and on our culture. Pick up a pencil. Hire a human.

Yes. We need to step up faster. Staying seated and chanting is equivalent to a stern letter from a member of congress. Apparently, loud tsk tsks don't stop fascists.

It's not about the money.
It's about teaching kids to care about things like climate change, extinction of animals, and diversity.
They don't want kids to grow up liberal.

The fascist state they are apparently so proud of creating requires terrorism. Violence aimed at persecuted groups and random uninvolved 'innocent' victems. Terrorism must be random. They need us all helpless and horrified and in real danger. That frees them to loot and pillage.

I disagree with "wannabe". He is a dictator. He is not "threatening" to kill or torture people. He is currently, actually doing it. We are not teetering or verging on a crisis. We are miles past that. We are "knee deep in the big muddy, but the big fool says to push on."

So they're using Mad Libs?

They've already told us. Armed, White Christian men are heroes, period. Librarians, housekeepers, and two year olds are terrorists.
When a stormtrooper does get shot, Karoline Leavitt will tell us which armed man was secretly a Democrat who had no rights in the first place.

So, the media's mistake was not supporting tr*mp hard enough? Tell me more about a democrats age, or laugh, or annoying erudition. I didn't hear you the last 12,000 times you wrote about it.

Every time I hear a pundit say they didn't consider the ramifications of their actions, I have a tiny aneurysm.

The only justifiable use for AI is to assist high-level science, which has just been declared illegal in the U.S. The rest of it is a toy that burns time and fossil fuels. No one 'needs' to see the Mona Lisa twerk.

Only proles whine about air, water, food, and physical safety. The rich are special. Let's worship the rich. They're so pretty.

Question: does the legal authority still matter in America? Where is the legal authority to pick up people from the streets & make them disappear? Legal authority to pay for prison in El Salvador?
The legal authority is not essential, and if needed, John Roberts's court will readily grant it!

The biggest threat to mankind is that most billionaires are promoting insane, antiscience, and catastrophic climate change, apparently for the shits and giggles it gives them.

What is he going to say? He only backs the good fascists? Some of his best friends are diverse?
