$200 million taxpayer dollars spent on “tell me I’m pretty” ads to stroke his own ego, while he fires people to “save money.” Sociopathic.

Any talk you hear from the current administration about making the US more competitive in science and technology is utter bullshit. What they are doing is sabotaging our country for years if not decades to come.

Just to be clear, this dangerous, yet ridiculous, fascist propaganda is depicting Donald Trump, not as Julius Caesar, but as Caligula.

C-PAC is a cult gathering, not a convention! This “Third Term Project” poster at CPAC is straight out of the authoritarian playbook. The same people who were screaming about “the deep state” are now openly fantasizing about a dictator-for-life.

“That is why Trumpists are so focused on “ending DEI” in the federal workforce. They see anti-discrimination and inclusion as a ladder of upward mobility for people they do not believe should have one.”

Tangent: Maybe I'm missing something but is the strategy of feigned outrage, "Nobody voted for Elon Musk!" helping at all? GOP/MAGA voters did in fact vote exactly for all of this, "I am your retribution" nonsense. DOGE is probably illegal, doing illegal stuff, but MAGA voted for every bit of it.

So, hey… if you're inclined to think that any response to whatever you post other than, "Wow! That's really great! Thank you for posting! You're so awesome! is an attack on you, possibly the Internet isn't for you.

More & more headlines like this emerging here in Germany. “Without America?” The tie between the USA & Europe is loosening & it could scarcely be nicer for Putin. What does it mean for Germany & its neighbours?”

We really gotta study the 10% or 15% of Americans who take a random walk between "Wow! The Leopards Eating Faces Party sounds great!" and then a month later, "Whoa! Not MY face, damnit!"

There's another possibility. The Mar a Lago felon fabricates stories like that so often they've been dubbed "Sir Stories". It's likely none of the reported details actually occurred. HOWEVER by telling this story to the public, he's created a loyalty test. Lt. Gen. Dan Caine must submit to the lie.

These are the same consumers who, wearing their citizen voter caps, decided that a guy who weaponized a pandemic and a conspiracy theory in an effort to overthrow the government should be given another opportunity.

I think it was @jonathanbchait.bsky.social Jonathan Chait who, about halfway through the first term, wrote an article discussing the long list of impeachable acts of Donald Trump. It was around 80 such crimes already by that point. www.reuters.com/business/us-...

Imagine an NFL team entering the field on motorcycles and using swords against their opponent. Imagine the refs changing the rules and letting them win. Imagine sportscasters covering it like a normal game, talking about stats and next year's draft. That's TFG, SCOTUS, and the media.
