A good time to remember lesson 18 of On Tyranny: Be calm when the unthinkable arrives.  Modern tyranny is terror management.  When the terrorist attack comes, remember that authoritarians exploit such events in order to consolidate power.  The sudden disaster that requires the end of checks and balances, the dissolution of opposition parties, the suspension of freedom of expression, the right to a fair trial, and so on, is the oldest trick in the Hitlerian book.  Do not fall for it

So now suddenly he’s “not gonna let that happen.” From nuking blue cities to protecting them. He got blowback and weasle-worded a different narrative.

The photo sits atop a story about how he’s blatantly exploiting his office for personal gain, corrupting the federal government to an unprecedented degree, and no one is even slowing him down anymore. And this is his only response.

Spoiler: Kean is to blame. He choose to rubber stamp trump's policies, to deny his constituents SNAP benefits and healthcare, to not communicate about his absence. He is choosing to run attack ads based on lies. His choice.

Is NJ Republican Tom Kean Jr. to blame if he loses his seat in Congress, or Donald Trump?
With Trump’s approval ratings in the toilet, the race was never going to be a lay-up for Kean, who won reelection by just 3% in 2024. But he made things much worse with his his long absence from Congr...

America is literally deporting people to countries they have no connection with, countries they’ve never been to. This is wildly unlawful. It’s cruel. It’s un-American. It’s evil.

Three of the current Supreme Court justices were handpicked by a president who was impeached twice, indicted four times, convicted on 34 felony counts, and tried to overturn an election. This court isn't legitimate. It is biased. It's a weapon. Built by corruption, for corruption.

Two weeks ago, the media wouldn't shut the fuck up about how Trump was wantonly stripping them of their FIRST AMENDMENT RIGHTS (TM) and now that DOJ lawyers are actually asserting Trump can do it, the Paper of Record buries it in a blurb along w/Fox ditching Dave Portnoy 🙃

It would be great if the U.S. media did some investigative reporting on our own President, who dozes off constantly in public, has bruised hands, swollen ankles, and saw no less than *22* doctors at his last visit to Walter Reed.

This is correct. Trump has zero sense of right v wrong. His whole life has been about him getting his way, serving himself no matter the consequences. He never cared about laws or or about how his actions hurt others.

If Trump just takes money appropriated by Congress for a specific purpose & seizes it to use it for an entirely different purpose, what is the point of having a Congress or appropriating money for anything? I’m sure the Senate Appropriations Chair Susan Collins must be concerned.

Trump is corruptly misappropriating taxpayer funds to pay for political ads. And rather than object, his GOP allies in Congress shrink in fear. Gift link: www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Campaign-style Trump ads use money meant for border security, memorials
The White House Office of Management and Budget added $20 million to the pot for commemorative events a day before DHS awarded an advertising contract of the same amount.
