I have a healthy distrust of authority and disgust for authoritarians. Progressive, young crone, former teacher, butler to my cat. 🚫 DMS, please. #resist #bluecrew #bluetsunami

He can also charge outrageous fees for secret service etc and will get a no bid government contract. Grifters will grift for every penny. His greed is outmatched only by his psychopathy.

They can go at it. 47’s estate will likely be bankrupt or he’ll change it hours before his (natural) death. He never pays his bills. Don’t know why they think he’d do so from hell.

I used AI today to help me edit a two page document. It lost every edit and randomly changed everything to meaningless corporate slop with phrases like “make space for” and “real-life”. I knew AI was eviL. I didn’t know it was so f🤬ing inept too. I won’t feed the monster that’s killing us again.

My state has mail-in voting, but I’m dropping off my ballot at an official drop box. People can also track their votes using a code on their ballot. I expect the regime will try to remove mail and ballot boxes in blue and swing states.

I’d say it’s moral disengagement, but this crew severed any morality, guilt, or basic humanity by their 20s. Maybe clinical greed should be added to the DSM.

Ossoff: "The WH put out a video depicting this war as a video game. When service members are returning in flag-draped coffins, & even more have lost limbs or suffered brain injuries or are fighting for their lives, this WH treats war like a game. It's a disgrace. And it speaks to a moral rot."

The amount of money the administration is promising in order to buy votes is significantly less than the amount of money it is taking away in programs and services. And it's OUR money!

Agreed. People who don’t follow politics or who are in the right wing silo might not see it that way, though. I’ve talked to several folks who voted for 47 because of the COVID stipend check with his name on it. It didn’t work for him in 2020 and he’s even more despised now.

We’ll hear a chorus of “We didn’t know” or “just following orders”in the coming years. If they ask forgiveness, and work to heal the wounds they’ve inflicted upon the world, maybe God will forgive them. I, however can not.

The modern mob was built on illegal alcohol during prohibition. The police state has been built on drug prohibition. At least the mob generally left civilians alone.

Exactly so. Consumer behavior *should* affect the way a company operates. If it’s not profitable to cut human cashiers, companies should respond by hiring more. That doesn’t take en💩ification into account, granted. Surrendering, though certainly won’t change things for the better.

The regime’s flavor of autocracy depends on which right-wing slop 47 encounters that day. Fascism, kleptocracy, oligarchy, and the Dunning-Krueger effect are all in play. It’s a real life Millgram experiment.

They keep making perfect fodder for their opponents. It’d be cleverly ironic in a work of fiction. Here and now, though it reeks of desperation. Those who have everything to lose will do anything to keep it.

Many of 47’s people thought he’d lose in 2016 and were using the campaign circus as an entre to the right wing media verse. They sobbed when he won because they’d have to work government jobs. Kelly Anne is a prime example of that class.

The war on drugs gives law enforcement unprecedented power. For-profit prisons proliferated and departments buy weapons of war to occupy poor neighborhoods. Treatment, harm reduction, and investment in opportunity would decrease demand and but that was never the goal.

If the Kennedy Center is not protected by law neither will 47’s monuments be. His legacy will be a cautionary tale about fascism and the world’s uniting to dance in the streets when he leaves office. qV1JKv2ClKQ

The first year they said they had to lie low and just focus on the midterms. Here we are and it feels like leadership doesn’t have specific plans. Dems should agree on three points and repeat them everywhere. Affordability, crack down on corruption, stop data centers are common viewpoints.
