The current US president carries water for Russia. He is their thrall. He was always going to turn on Ukraine. It will get worse, but Europe is rearming and will rise to face Russia.

They’ll attack him in the history books. The banks put Andrew Jackson on the $20 bill.

I just hope they don’t try to portray Zuck as even remotely conflicted or moral. The whistleblowers can fill that narrative role. Depicting Zuck as anything but a heartless, machine-like accumulator of ill-gotten wealth will kill any authenticity.

Who dares to challenge Sparta? Who? Who?

Good thing the American public is in the capable, steady hands of the Trump administration. The drone terror attack plan will no doubt be leaked from a top secret group chat soon and blow everyone away with its brilliance.

The real fun will be watching Trump try to blame Biden and probably even Hillary for the security failure. That’s the only card he knows how to play. Traitors everywhere pretending the emperor still has clothes on.

Just another day in Dumbfuckistan America.

“GOP bootlickers remain unswayed by reality. Okay with nightmare to come.”

Temporary order while they consider it. Could still go either way.

Fetterman turned conservative after his stroke. His lack of participation in the Senate and change in stance after a major health episode should bring his competency into question.

It’s incredibly sad, because he was so promising in the early days. He is not the Senator everyone voted for.

“The Heritage guys are telling me we’re putting the gays in concentration camps soon, so that should end the hurricanes.”

Anthony Bourdain hit hard. I always thought of him as having the best job on earth. He got to see the best of the world and show it to everyone.

It just goes to show we all wrestle with our demons. Don’t ever be afraid to reach out for help.

Apparently, the Russians moved a lot of their best bombers far from the front when they realized they were exposed to strikes, so Ukraine hit them with some James Bond, 4D chess operation they’d been planning for a year and a half.

Those bombers had been terrorizing Ukrainian cities, destroying defensive fortifications, and are a key part of the Russian nuclear threat.

Whatever weapons and money everyone is sending Ukraine, double it.

“Look, we need big number to go up for the people who pay us to pretend to run the country. If some of you peasants die a little early, that’s fine with us. You’re going to vote for us anyway, because you’re afraid that supporting workers’ rights will somehow turn you gay. Btw, stay on social media. It’s very good for you.”

It’s all AI now. They check the decibel level of how loudly you scream at the workers who have nothing to do with the actual problem. Whoever screams loudest gets access to the secret Karen fleet.

The real trick is eating beans and not pooping for three days.

The Heritage Foundation may have planned this governmental takeover better than the techbros. Where they conflict, the Heritage Foundation will likely win.

Odd to side with one fascist organization over another. They both are traitorous, evil burdens on humanity. Placing their profit margins above stability.

That’s what they don’t get. Integrity and morality provide stability to a civilization. Minor deviations can be absorbed, but throwing away any semblance of basic decency and goodness destroys the foundation of civilization.

The factory jobs that existed in post-war America would be a vast improvement over the current service economy, but those jobs don’t exist anymore. Union jobs with high pay, benefits, retirement after 20 years, etc. Those are not the factory jobs they’re looking to create.

Factories are mostly automated now anyway. Rebuilding US manufacturing will not only take years but it will be done in a way that minimizes the actual jobs created. They’ll also still have to compete with factories all over the world where the currency is worth much less and the global price of the end product reflects that.

Post-war America had a strong domestic market and middle class that could afford to buy all the things American manufacturing built. Americans are now buying groceries on layaway and waiting for the sickness or car trouble or new Trump policy that makes them homeless.

at least $880 billion in cuts largely to Medicaid to help cover the cost of $4.5 trillion in tax breaks.

Don’t forget the purpose. They’re not cutting spending to “balance the budget.” It’s to pay for a fraction of the tax cuts they’re giving to the parasite class.

She had an Einstein visa, so the nude pictures count as art. Any accompanying prostitution would be considered performance art.

Immigrants are being loaded into planes and sent to gulags in El Salvador with zero due process even after courts order they be brought back. I’m not saying trans people aren’t being targeted, but I’m not aware of it happening at that level or something similar. If they are, please educate me.

Targeting immigrant rights are how they’re testing taking away everyone’s rights. Eventually, it will be anyone who disagrees with them. That’s how fascist takeovers work.

It looks like there were some negative comments in 2012 and basically nothing since. I hope Leo XIV continues Francis’s strides toward acceptance.

Leo XIV has been solidly pro-workers rights, anti-racism, critical of the Trump administration, and, perhaps most importantly, very supportive of immigrant rights. He is solidly progressive on the vast majority of issues.

We all know that the growing fascist movement will eventually target trans people and gay people for jailing and rendition without due process, but the people they’re actively doing that to right now are immigrants. Having a pope who is a strong ally for immigrant rights is a very good thing.

If this nightmare continues to play out the way the MAGA Nazis want it to, I don’t think a pope who actually cares about human beings and their basic rights would turn a blind eye to abuses to the LGBT community. Let’s all hope for the sake of everyone that it doesn’t come to that.
