A set of countries hates us; another is bewildered/dismayed/horrified; a third group is laughing at us; and the last group is working the angles to fleece us by flattering the weak-minded senile dope who occasionally shows up at the White House to sign stuff. NOBODY respects us.

What the fuck does this even mean? They are just terrorizing millions of hard working Americans for sport. Trump and Musk are the most anti-worker public leaders America may have ever produced.

Somehow, E.H. Carr left out the chapter about “high IQ, high-agency people” in his 1962 classic, What is History.

I get the speed & brutality of massive destructive power grabs but I have yet to see anything that explains in any way how Trump to say nothing of musk are free to operate purely by malign fiat, untwisted, as sole owners of a country that had rules & cops & g-men & bench warrants til three weeks ago

the “administrative state” in practice is a lot of very hard working, practically anonymous people doing the thankless work of making this country run and a drug-addled dipshit is slandering them in order to steal our money for himself

Lots of people out there saying, "at least by fucking everything up they're showing how incompetent they are, which will turn voters against them." I just wonder where in the world people get this hope. America made it all the way through the election in near-total ignorance. Why would that change?

If making America great again requires you to pay more for everything, lose your retirement savings, work more for less pay, be unable to afford health insurance, become an indentured servant to the oligarchs, maybe you were better off with the no so great version.

is it good or bad that a billionaire oligarch with close ties to foreign dictators is currently downloading the most sensitive information the us federal government has about its citizens to his own private servers?

The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyone’s prices won voters most concerned about high prices. We hammered this time and time again and yet.

The fall of the Roman Empire brought instability to Italy but may have led to Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci and the Renaissance only 1100 years later. Could the same thing happen here in the United States?

i think it is important to say that the open and explicit racism of the president and the vice president isn’t just uncouth or “controversial” but a direct attack on tens of millions of americans and a dereliction of their duty to represent the entire country

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

i am constantly hearing that the left is elitist but if it is elitism to stand up for basic values of citizenship and decency against a bunch of cruel dumbasses who have no greater ambition than to tell bad jokes and hear the braying laughter of their dumbass friends, then i am an elitist

the frenzy over the hunter biden pardon is a good reminder that the press knows how to make something a scandal and has decided that nothing trump does is truly deserving of that treatment

The incoming administration has nominated a gang of sexual predators, vindictive psychopaths and utter incompetents to be the presidential cabinet and the Washington Post has gone full-court-press on the Hunter Biden pardon. Our political media is deeply, deeply broken.

The Trump ordeal has made one thing clear. Too many of our checks and balances rely on norms, traditions and the honor code. It works when those elected into power are people of honor and integrity who respect our norms and traditions. Elect a lifelong criminal and it all goes sideways.

I think we may be past this MAGA is, unabashedly, a principle-free, belief-free nihilistic death cult for bigots and/or idiots The idea that we’re going to reason with the barbarians at the gate or shame them back to civilization by confronting them with their own hypocrisy reads as very very 2023

Let us be clear. A man adjudicated as a sexual abuser wants to put multiple men credibly accused of sexual assault/crimes (which they deny) in position of extreme importance. This movement has violence and deep misogyny at its core. This is deeply sick
