5.5 billion? Is that all?

give them a minute. The LP has been swinging right to try and court embarrassed republicans. I know this because I aligned with them enough to vote Jorgensen in 20.

Sure, maybe, probably, but even if that is 100% true, I don’t think it’s the whole story. I think that the interests of the Russian Federation and the interests of our ultra-wealthy sort of accidentally aligned insofar as they both believe they’d be better off with the US federal government deligitimized and destroyed. Whether it works out the way they’d hoped, well, we’ll see. History is kind of a funny thing.

“He’s giving a message to criminals where our federal officers are,” Bondi said. “…we are looking at it, we are looking at him, and he better watch out, because that’s not a protected speech. That is threatening the lives of our law enforcement officers throughout this country.”’

Actually, I believe it is protected speech. There are apps that let people know where speed traps are. You mean it’s not constitutionally protected to say to someone “hey, did you see the cop down on the corner?” Ridiculous. Of course, what she means to say is that the constitution doesn’t matter and laws are made up now, and they’re just going to do whatever the fuck they want. They’re just not quuuuuite ready to go through the trouble of literally setting the constitution on fire yet.

I never ever want to hear another conservative whine at me about the budget as long as I live. FiScAl ReSpOnSiBiLiTy my ass.

TBH, I’m increasingly convinced that this is yet another in a series of moves overtly intended to destroy the federal government’s legitimacy.

I don’t remember biblical antichrist being stopped by courts, I seem to remember that he ultimately gets yeeted into hell.

At this point, I think it’s pretty safe to call MAGA a religion, specifically an offshot of American Evangelism. I don’t think you can call its faithful Christians anymore, because while they’re happy to borrow all the trappings and symbols of Christianity, every place where Christ and Trump conflict, Trump wins, including who gets to be Godhead. I’m really not exaggerating, I think a lot of people have walked into an entirely new faith without yet realizing it. If you’re looking for a modern anti-christ, it’s hard to do better than Trump.

Well, I dunno if I’d agree that it’s booming just yet.

I think you’re right. He’s been conditioned to keep the faith and look past the cult’s obvious failure to keep its promise of protecting him and his; if he only keeps the faith, everything will surely come right. He still believes that surely dear leader would never hurt him. I think his wife getting flown out to Serbia without a trial miiiight just be the wakeup call.

I mean, they might live a whole other cultural and social experience, but right now the world’s ultra-wealthy are already planning on living out the rest of their years in underground bunker complexes. I really don’t see how that’s a better existence for them and their kids than making 3% less profit and giving just the tiniest shit about the planet.

I feel like that would be, and already is to some extent, both temporary and relative. Windblown microplastics don’t really care if they end up in affluent areas.

I legit don’t get stuff like this. Don’t these mfs have kids? Don’t their kids live on this same planet? Why do you want to make sure your kids get to choke on toxic dust?

NYC’s really going to have to choose between Mamdani, Adams, and Cuomo running independent? I feel like the choice is pretty obvious here. Hard to imagine this race being more of an obvious choice; maybe if we got Henry Kissinger’s corpse to run as well? I’m sure he’d cinch the Clinton endorsement.

Schumer, if Trump doesn’t:

“Fine, I’ll do it myself”

yeah, middle aged progressive here. I can’t tell you how jazzed I am to see Cuomo take up his new job of Gently Used Airport Scarecrow. I really hope the establishment is seeing the writing on the wall.

Keep your Hoggs cranked

AROOOOO

O O F
