Casual nazi salute on live television

submitted 43 days ago • 201 comments

Musk did a Nazi salute because he knows there are zero political consequences to him doing so, and he can harass and intimidate anyone who tries to call him out. Expect others to follow suit…there are going to be a lot of unacceptable words and behaviors that are going to become “normal” + defended

Elon was going to share DOGE with Vivek. He booted Vivek. Elon was going to be housed in the Eisenhower Building. Now he’s going to be in the West Wing. Trump kicked GOP officials out of the Rotunda so Elon and his pals could be there. Those of us who called Elon co-POTUS weren’t fooling around.

Now's the time to stock up on your banned books! Remember: - physical media is best (because unless you own the PDF/Epub, Amazon can take it from you!) - Shop local, thrift stores, used bookstores, or independent sellers - Thriftbooks is not owned by Amazon and supports independent bookstores.

Friendly reminder that if you buy a book on Kindle, you're only paying for the rights to read, not own. If a book truly gets banned, it will be taken away from digital platforms like Kindle, nook, etc. Consider getting physical copies of banned (or other) books! READ BANNED BOOKS #booksky

to recap: — Trump was for the TikTok ban — which the GOP Congress passed — and the GOP Supreme Court upheld — and even though Biden said he wouldn't enforce the ban, TikTok shut down anyway — so that Trump could "save" it — and the media fell for it we really do live in the dumbest fucking country

You can blame Garland if you want to — and I agree that he has faults — but reading through the Smith report on election interference makes one thing clear: Voter apathy saved Trump from real accountability for the first time in his life. I hope everyone who stayed home is happy.

GOP members complaining about reduction of military standards while using a chart that misspells the word military!

Not a single Republican senator has dared express any concerns about Hegseth's inexperience, allegations of sexual assault, corruption, drinking problems, misogyny or his dangerous policy positions. They're terrified of Trump's wrath and Elon's money. They'd confirm a bar stool if he told them to.

Jack Smith has quietly resigned. Nothing left to do after turning over the report to Garland. Revealed in the footnote of a DOJ filing on Friday. He worked hard, fast, and productively for his country, and the outcome was a terrible disservice to him and his team.

He orchestrated a coup. It failed. He was a convicted felon. He rose to power on a wave of divisive propaganda and hateful anti-immigrant rhetoric. He promised to make things great again. He threatened to annex his neighbors. I'm referring, of course, to Adolf Hitler.

New — Trump is sentenced to unconditional discharge. Judge Merchan: “This court has determined that the only lawful sentence that permits entry of judgement of conviction, without encroaching on the highest office of the land is unconditional discharge.”

Merchan made it pretty clear that if Trump hadn’t won the election, this sentence would have been different. This time, voter apathy saved Trump from prison. Hope everyone who stayed home is proud of themselves.

If the 11th circuit overturns Cannon on the Jack Smith report, and Trump files for an emergency administrative stay with SCOTUS, guess which justice can issue the administrative stay unilaterally?

On the fourth anniversary of Donald's attempt to overturn the results of a free and fair election, Congress certified his electoral college victory. As a result, we learned the answer to this question: Was the insurrection Donald incited successful? And the answer is yes.

My fear: The 11th circuit will rule that Smith can release the J6 volume of his report. Trump will file an emergency stay with SCOTUS. And they grant it - pushing the release past 1/20, where it will die forever.

submitted 56 days ago • 320 comments

It's not clear to me that Cannon has jurisdiction to do this. She has already dismissed the case & it's on appeal to the 11th Circuit. That may be why Trump's co-defendants filed there as well. Jurisdiction over any further action in the case is now in their hands.
