It all depends on whether or not the terror aspect works. If it keeps getting covered as “journalist randomly catches rubber bullet” and they keep calling the peaceful protests “riots,” it means nothing.

If the truth continues to be covered and spoken about openly, it does mean something, and there is still hope of the truth winning out in the end.

If blue states were to band together and do this, it would bankrupt Trump’s fascist federal government pretty quickly. Maybe a blue state Articles of Confederation is in order.

I’ve heard Elon has some very gang-looking tattoos somewhere. Send him to the gulag and nationalize his rockets.

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.”

The press is suddenly shocked to find out something that was common knowledge. Elon is a junkie and a madman. A tornado of chaos. He always has been.

His handlers became unable to contain it after he bought Twitter, and now here we are. Looking a lot like he’s going to be the scapegoat for the coming recession.

Microsoft has always mostly worked. They’re working overtime to get rid of the mostly.

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 actual facts and immigration status don’t matter. They’re after skin color. The first few waves of people going to El Salvador are test cases.

Trump and his Cabinet misfits who make the news are clowns. The Heritage Foundation Project 2025 officials are the vanguard of the real fascist movement.

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

Move fast and break things: air traffic controller trainee edition

There needs to be a nationwide, unionized air traffic controller “consultant” business formed for when the shit hits the fan. Pay these people what they deserve to fix the disasters that will be caused by their ill treatment.

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.

The derivatives market is leaning heavily on paused student loans when 2/3 of Americans are using layaway plans to buy groceries? And inflation is about to skyrocket again because of the tariff chaos?

Does the derivatives market deliberately choose bad long-term investments and plan on crashing? That would explain a lot.

Bernie not being the candidate in 2016 was the first problem. It compounded after that.

IIRC, Biden was fourth in the primary when Obama told the other establishment candidates to drop out and rally behind Biden because it looked like Bernie might win.

There’s footage of Buttigieg telling the press that he’s redirecting his plane to go concede on the way to a primary he had a chance of winning. Again, IIRC Warren stayed in the race to split the progressive vote.

The Democratic Party being bought out by a slightly less offensive class of billionaires for decades eroded their ability to understand anything approaching the lived experience of actual Americans.

The biggest joke is that their Silicon Valley billionaire supporters were the first in line not only to go full Nazi, but also to fix elections against them.
