usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Question for Mike Flood: With $450 million being allocated to Alligator Alcatraz, and ICE burning through $8.4 million a day to illegally detain people—How much does it cost for fascism? How much do the tax payers have to pay for a fascist country?

The was an old Soviet joke: -Why was our flight delayed by one hour? - One of our pilots saw the problem with one engine, but now it’s alright. - You changed engine in just one hour? - No, we’ve changed the pilot. That’s not a joke in the U.S. anymore.

There are so many times this nightmare should’ve been over, but I’ll never get how inciting a violent coup on J6 didn’t lead to a prison term post haste. That fucker should’ve been yanked by the lapels out of the White House, handcuffed, and hauled away that day. Everyone knew he was responsible.

The Department of Justice is pretending it needed to talk to notorious liar Ghislaine Maxwell to know the truth about Jeffrey Epstein, when it is concealing thousands of documents about him that don’t lie. It’s a sick farce.

It is vitally important that more people like Powell have the integrity and courage to “nope” Trump when he starts spouting bullshit. He is clearly used to yes-men eagerly wagging their tails, and simply looks like a fool whenever someone puts him outside his comfort zone.
