Trump regime/ DOGE: You're all fired! We have taken over the military.
<a few moments later>
Hey, before you go...
How do you start it up?

I like to tell them he died of covid and they've been worshiping a body double for the last 5 years.

*we're calling June 14 Obama Day. Spread the word. Suggest there should be a parade for Obama. Ruin it for Trump.
(Why June 14? It's also Flag Day. And Obama stood for our flag.)

Again, I don't think we're disagreeing here. I'm just throwing in that Normalcy Bias applies to all humans, but around the world, normal is different for everyone. And people are aware that things happen, despite that bias against an unusual thing happening in the moment.
comment in response to

Normalcy Bias is about the reaction in the moment. It's not that no one knows or fears history repeating, it's that humans tend to react slower or not at all when something unusually bad happens because we're most often correct to not expect it.

Not actually a Chinese phrase, but associated with a different Chinese phrase:

The sayings, as well as your point about multi-generational memory, suggest humans are aware that big, bad, unusual events happen.

*SCOTUS should have rotating 9 (13 if the court is expanded) year terms, so every year, 1 justice is replaced.

(I think we're agreeing here. I'm saying Americans aren't unique for having Normalcy Bias, but are unique in what most Americans have experienced as normal)
comment in response to
post
Yeah, that's pretty much how Normalcy Bias works. People are quicker to believe that things they've experienced can happen. Since most Americans haven't seen 1930s hardship, it's harder to believe it's coming than it is for anyone that has experienced hardship.

Right now, we need to declare June 14 to be Obama Day, and start telling everyone there should be a parade in his honor

"Let them eat cake" 1789
"Let them have 93% fewer toys" 2025 (stand in line for when he says the same thing about food, or tries to say food shortages are how we combat the obesity epidemic)

Humans in general have Normalcy Bias built in

I want to see reporters asking Trump basic questions. Call it an interview, but give him a cognitive test.
Mr. President, who was the third president, in your opinion?
Mr. President, what do you see as the difference between a franchise and a corporation?
Mr. President, how do you feel about 2³?

Even more funny when you realize that the movement that Trump rode in on was originally called The Tea Party movement

Hey now, that's one screen capture from a list of things he did. Also included:
- wiped his very own butt
- finished his whole Happy Meal
- deported innocent people to foreign gulag
- allowed RFK to turn health into Goons Gone Wild (promises kept)
- made economy go boom 💥
- made a boom boom

Can someone just put out some AI videos of RFK saying bad things about Trump? That would get him fired quicker than noting his incompetence.

Pushing Trump to be the pope is a plot by JD Vance!
As pope, Trump would be susceptible to Vance-touch, resulting in his demise, and installing Vance as president!

Remember the episode of The Office where Jim and Pam apply to jobs on Dwight's behalf, hoping to get him to go work somewhere else? That's what Lindsay Graham is doing.

Average wealth per person:
335,000 people (less than half the population of DC)
$66,000,000 each
167,500,000 people (more than the populations of California, Texas, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, Georgia, and Louisiana combined)
$23,000 each

I've been pleasantly surprised at how much Fox and even News Nation are reporting. Obviously some of the outlets are worse than others, but they're not hiding facts in every article and interview.

Several comments about how judges don't really see each other in court that much, but since this was posted 16 hours before the arrest of a judge, who was then scheduled to appear before another judge, I think War and Peas may have Simpsons-level prophetic abilities.

WI DOJ 608-266-1221. FBI office told me to call the State DOJ with my concern.

Bipartisan is the only way the democrats will pass anything. A bipartisan impeachment is the only kind there can be (yeah, yeah, I'm dreaming).
Bipartisan bills that promote Trump's agenda should not happen, but bipartisanship to resign him in is necessary.

In case anyone forgot, Peter Thiel was once (justifiably) upset with Gawker. He waited years, then secretly funded someone else's lawsuit against them. When other businesses considered saving Gawker from bankruptcy, he went public about his role, essentially blacklisting them.

Don't confuse the loudest people for the majority of people. Most people are probably in the middle, but few people are loud about their lack of opinion.
I DON'T KNOW!
I GUESS!
MAYBE!
NOT SURE!
I'M NOT AN EXPERT, SO TAKE THIS WITH A GRAIN OF SALT!

Did... um... did RFK try to eat the lobotomy leftovers?
Like the bear?
Or the whale?
Or his own foot?

Reminder that the covid vaccine is the Trump vaccine. Maybe talking about it like that will put a damper on the nutters.
"Minnesota Republicans are trying to ban the Trump vaccine"

Which judge?
comment in response to

Actually he didn't. A judge specifically ordered to not deport him.
comment in response to
post
But I just said you were. If you weren't, I wouldn't have said you were.
comment in response to
post
Then it should be provable in court. And a judge can deport him. That's how the justice system works. Thus is a legal fact.
comment in response to
post
I can label you and your associates as terrorists. Rubio can use that label to order your deportation. Deportation to where, if you're a US citizen? CECOT.
All of that is based on no evidence, so it should be thrown out in court. But without due process, you don't go to court.
