This dude's frontal lobe divorced his temporal lobe.

I remember they had these in the store awhile back...



I went in with my son and we past an end cap with them on it and someone had written homophobic things on quite a few of them. I was so pissed. I put them all in my cart, went to the back of the store, let them know that I was angry someone was able to stand there and write all that, and made sure they were discarded. I explained to my son why it was wrong for someone to write all those things and why it was important to act against it.

I can’t find the tweet but one of my favorites is “what if we did the thing where nobody gets seconds until everybody has had some first, except for housing?”

Former high ranking Trump administration officials, including cabinet members, as well as family members, are speaking at a two day event. Other speakers include blogger who says Hitler was right and another who claims Nazi Holocaust never happened, and that more people died from Covid vaccine than from Nazis.

Meanwhile CNN is giving Trump an hour long free infomercial.

He was arrested this morning and charged with fraud and embezzlement for using campaign funds to buy clothes and pay off his credit cards and other bills, as well as lying about his finances on congressional disclosure forms, and illegally utilizing unemployment benefits.

His likely excuse: "But, everyone does it."

No doubt he is being persecuted because he is a conservative!
He will keep his seat in Congress. McCarthy literally has a one vote majority.

Santos will be released on $500,000 bail...probably paid through his campaign funds.

Eric Trump threatened to sue Rachel Maddow for reporting he, among others, is speaking at a gathering along with two open pro Nazis.
Except it's true.

Talk about fascism.

 

[Everything Beagle]

It’s hilarious (actually sad) to me that the US has fascist politicians yelling “I’m a fascist and I love fascism!” And we’re all like “wow that sucks but that’s freedom after all” like why is freedom only about letting shitheels yell genocicde anymore?

I'm not surprised they are comfortable yelling out that they are fascist (though they call it being patriots and real Americans) or spewing their fascist ideas. Trump showed them they could do openly without much consequence.

The messed up thing is that they are getting elected and actually putting this fascist shit into law even as they try to defend it by holding up the constitution, which stands against everything they are saying and doing. That they are able to keep it and make it part of the public discourse and are making it reality, that's fucking disconcerting to a great degree.

Not only that, but those cuts were permanent, and the cuts for the middle and lower class were temporary. But being stupid Americans, we saw (slightly) more money in our pockets and got boners and totally ignored the fact it wasn't long term and the very wealthy got a lot more back.

And then a big portion of our country doesn't even seem to care that tax cuts for the rich = raising the tax burden on the middle class (and lower).

But AbOrRtIoNs and TrAnS WoKeNeSS!11!

Elon Musk got rid of the filters on Twitter. If anyone wants to view cat or dog videos, they get animal torture.

After voting unanimously to keep indicted liar George Santos in Congress, Republicans have introduced a motion to expel Adam Schiff. For the crime of impeaching Trump, presumably.
