But seriously, the idiots want Elon Musk & fucking Newt Gingrich to help design plans for an auto war. The bots fight it out while you grab a beer. It’s like 1980s James Cameron saw the future and decided naw, SI is a stupid name. I’ll call it Skynet. The rest is history.

It seems the 6 fascist members of SCOTUS intend to do everything in their power to keep Trump and the fascist regime in control. They have a lot of power and they know what they’re doing. If the fascists are able to stay in power, everything will accelerate. Voting is all we have. So vote.

Dogs are better than people. Except for the occasional stray, they just don’t know. Cats, on the other hand, don’t give a thought to whether they’re better than the household help. I mean, it’s obvious, no?

If DJT is impeached, locked up in a mental institution, or dead, we’ll have the pleasure of Vance assuming the mantle of King of Lies. And just for the record, shouldn’t his title be “JD Vance, aka all those other names he’s tried to delete”?

This is a truly extraordinary moment in US history. After 10 years of Trump, he is on the ropes. As a critical election looms, he sinks lower every day and struggles to find a way to rig the vote. This as his little war threatens to go global & climate is tipping. All heading for a collision.

It’s so very post-modern for our attempted fascist takeover, traitorous sellout to Russia, graftapalooza, and pedophilia parties are — at the exact same time — a brilliant satire of 21st century disaster capitalism. Who says concentration camps & institutional murder don’t make good comedy?

What we call “far-left, progressive ideas” today were, not so long ago, standard bread-and-butter Democratic policies, from Roosevelt to Johnson. These policies were seen as hard-won rights in every field. We were growing up. So now we’re just clawing back what is rightfully ours. Not so radical.

Seems possible that we as a nation were so hornswoggled by decades of right-wing lies that we needed a punch in the face to snap out of it. We’ve been happily marching toward fascism since Granpa Reagan. Maybe we needed to see what Pottersville looks like to remember who we can and should be.

The MAGA cult is facing a reality problem. In order to avoid the pain of cognitive dissonance, they must believe the Mad King’s ravings, wherever they lead. So their campaigns, their “midterm convention,” all must align with the crazy. Thus, as November approaches, they keep alienating voters.

Let’s say the Dems win the House and Senate. What happens then? Back to business as usual? Nope, Trump & his minions will triple down, refusing to obey Congress or the courts, daring them to try & stop him. We cannot survive two more years of this. We can’t. Somehow this has to stop.

I really don’t think Americans are taking the Trump threat to overturn the midterms and establish an authoritarian regime seriously. Do you really think that they’ll settle for a few lost court cases and cede power that easily? I think they have a plan, a real plan, and we better snap out of it.

In Orwell’s “1984,” Big Brother’s followers are so well trained that a storyline can be one thing and 60 seconds later something else. We’re still trainees, but we’re getting the hang of it. “Whatever Boss says, we do. We love Big Brother!”

I don’t see it so much as widespread. I see it concentrated in the judicial, legislative, and especially executive branches of the federal government. Where it is off the charts!! Fire them, remove them, prosecute them!

Just for the record and those whose memories are short: Biden did an excellent with domestic policy, wrangling close Congressional votes to pull us back Trump 1’s mess. We had the strongest economy in the world. His foreign policy not so much, and his admin’s handling of treason was a disaster.

I find it both fascinating and ironic that the US and Germany came to a lust for fascism form polar extremes. Hitler seduced Germans with a vision of rising from the ruins of WWI to again become a mighty nation. The US was engorged with wealth and power, which made its leaders thirst for more.

I find it bothersome to keep reading thoughtful analyses saying the war with Iran is killing Trump’s Presidency. No, the war simply speeds what was already underway: the rape & pillaging of most Americans by the very rich. He thought he could just bomb Iran and take their stuff too. Fucking pirate.

If you haven’t seen the SCOTUS ruling on mail-in ballots, take a look. This severely impairs the ability of Democrats to have their votes counted. It will take a Dem tidal wave to win the House by a little. We need a huge turnout.

Trump - the weasels around him; ideologues (Leo, Koch) behind him - believe *now* is their last chance to crush America into a feudal, "christian" fascist nation. They can't accept losing on 11/3. Leveraging the government they control now through an 'emergency', a coup, is their most likely card.

Trump’s endgame: 1/ Do all possible to rig the election or create chaos to prevent any D Congress majority. 2/ Total dominance. Starve Iran & Cuba, steal Venezuela’s oil, threaten tarifffs and war. 3/Turn Americans against each other, create concentration camps, stir hate & fear of the “other.”

For years the Soviet Union grew increasingly corrupt. Oligarchs came to control the corporations that received gov’t contracts, with the military budget the tastiest target. Money meant for equipment & supplies was siphoned away, leaving a broken military. This story is not about the Soviet Union.

Boy howdy, after reading Natalie’s two letters to Donnie, she seems a teenager in love, working out some subservient Daddy issues. And what of Don? Is this his Lovecraftian version of a romance in defiance of time and reason? A last flash of passion before gleefully watching it all burn?
