@aram I've had this hanging in/outside my office since the late '90s when I was working at the InterNIC during DotCom. Back then we were sooo optimistic about the networked future .... now, I share your sentiment and wonder what hell hath we unleashed. I […] [Original post on indieweb.social]

You can bet on it! It's chintzy Home Depot/Temu/Schien Oval Office decor....but it's the 'most beautiful' chintz, people are saying, believe me.

I couldn't have said it better myself. Remember, DOD resources includes SIGINT and overhead capabilities, so that DOD drone or satellite overhead might indeed be checking *you* out or monitoring your 1A communications.

Why should he care? The government will keep him fed, protected, out of prison, and provide the biggest megaphone on the planet to spew his vitriol and insanity no matter what happens to the rest of the country during the next 3.5 years.... As always, he's […] [Original post on indieweb.social]

I would just as soon take my medical advice from Benny Hill.... BTW Donald JOHN Trump still appears in the unreleased Epstein files.

Tonight's EO could equally apply to MAGA, imagine that ... they're projecting hard (again).

I'm sure MAGA, the party of love, peace, and a deep respect of law and civil discourse, will be out soon with a statement condemning these remarks as inflammatory and violence-provoking, right? Right? Oh yeah ... silly me.

Spoken like a true mafioso and/or authoritarian.... .. guess Donnie took some early toilet time last night after his busy day walking up escalators that his own people accidentally turned off?

WaPo commits responsible journalism by correctly saying "station owners" and not "local stations" in this headline. Sinclair and Nexstar would have you believe it was "local communities" that yanked the plug, but it was their central offices as owners of these local stations that made the decision.

"This is an enormous scandal, and it would be normally the leading scandal on the front page of a newspaper, yet we're dealing with so many scandals simultaneously, so many abuses of power at the same time that this is something that seems, you know, like a […] [Original post on indieweb.social]

Just another reminder to the White House about tariffs ... it's even in a picture, since we know Donnie can't read!

People think he's referring to things like Microsoft, Amazon, Facebook, Netflix, etc .... but don't forget HE also sits onw a ton of "digital services" with his various new crypto grifts. The EU, Canada, et.al. should call his bluff and de-Americanize as […] [Original post on indieweb.social]

*sigh* And most of 'em likely are junk, thinly-traded, have barely any AUM, and probably will fold within their first year.

WSJ: FOTUS is 'going out' with law enforcement onto the streets of DC tonight. Because nothing screams 'me bigly powerful!' like being surrounded by bodyguards and troops in front of cameras, right?

Federal felon and US dictator now threatens Colorado for upholding its election laws and convicting Tina Peters for election interference. To FOTUS, laws are fungible things and only meant to be used in the pursuit of greater power and/or retribution […] [Original post on indieweb.social]

ProtoNazi Stephen Miller is wearing a TAN SUIT. Where's the Fox 'News' outrage team over this traitorous and un-American attire? Oh, right ... it's only bad when the other guy ... y'know, the black President, did it.

So New Jersey needs more electricity to lower its prices. Yet FOTUS rails against the very things that can lower electricity prices and bring more power to the state, because he's an idiotic sundowning twatwaffle.

FOTUS declares war on American elections and says states must do what they're told since they're simply the 'agents' of the federal government ... sounds like a trial-balloon public defense of an EO? But regardless, HE IS TELLING US WHAT HE PLANS. ARE YOU LISTENING?

Zelenskyy essentially saying 'nuts!' to Demented Donald's grandiose peace plan that favors Russia keeping territory in Ukraine. Good for him. Expect rhetorical fireworks today....
