we're really not going to recover from this and go back to some "normal." even if we survive this round, we've made it abundantly clear that every four years there's a valid possibility that dumbass magas may tank everything. we are not to be trusted.

Has someone made a coup day counter yet? Today is day 49 of this coup. Day 49.... of an Authoritarian coup underpinned by oligarchs, led by a ketamine fueled unelected Nazi, and a hate-mongering elderly reality TV foil.

Anyone want to bet that no one looks at the email responses that Musk asked for ? It requires too much manpower and organization. Even w/AI He will hold them in the event he has an interaction with someone. If so, he can look up their response or lack of, and use it as cause for action.

Except they are not that much different. The good parent offers more scraps from the table, but she reserves the really good stuff for her rich friends. The kids like the bad parent because he is funnier and promises more. The family needs an intervention. Uncle Bernie tried before but was repulsed.

anyway I'm certainly looking forward to our new era of preventable pandemics, self-inflicted economic crises, immense suffering inflicted on the vulnerable, and everything else we've got waiting ahead as the worst and dumbest people on the planet steer us right into the fucking ditch.

My son Elijah died from pediatric brain cancer in 2017, right after I met Obama at the WH and he pledged to support the cancer moonshot. These evil, soulless people are ok with kids dying from cancer, and they deserve to be haunted until the end of their days. www.rollingstone.com/politics/pol...

If you’d told me on Jan 6th 2021 that the man responsible for that horrific attack would end up returning to the office he tried to steal that day, and that he’d do so after calling the attackers “heroes” & “hostages” he was going to pardon, I’d have thought you were out of your damn mind.
