My illegal Pinkerton is driving me to my illegal hotel while the hallucination machine in my phone summarizes the emails my coworkers wrote using their hallucination machines. My burrito travels separately in its own limo. This is innovation and normal.

Musk is gonna attempt to use AI or some shit to try to systematically withhold funding from countless “woke” departments, organizations officials… probably the general public too. Anyone in the crosshairs of the right wing outrage machine can/will be economically ruined.

It's not "politicizing a tragedy" to say the FAA should be run by well-qualified people instead of a nazi ketamine addict or a reality show contestant. the democrats' position was that these agencies should be run by well-qualified non-partisan experts and the GOP position is "burn it down"

They want to ban the teaching of the unpleasant facts of American history because people might conclude injustices in the past that contribute to inequalities in the present should be rectified, instead of their belief, which is that some groups of people are inherently superior to others

The specific nightmare of Trump's second term is how he'll do something like announce construction of a concentration camp, and it produces two specific responses: -his strong supporters openly celebrate the reinstitution of white supremacy -the political elite treat it like a normal policy debate

Out of all this mess, I think the scotus immunity decision will become a crucial topic in an embarrassing history lesson. Designating the president as immune from the law is traitor-level behavior. As soon as they could, they got on their knees and rolled out the fucking carpet for the king.

If your Christianity causes you to be offended by someone asking the most powerful person in the country to be merciful towards the powerless, then you have profoundly misunderstood the teachings of Jesus Christ.

By the way, many in the Elon/maga dickrider crowd are going to adopt that salute at future events, to troll the libs of course.

The pardons aren't just a reward for Trump's loyal foot soldiers. They're also a signal to would-be vigilantes that Trump will support people who commit violence for the MAGA cause. This could usher in waves of violence. Vehicular violence against protesters has already been normalized.
