Former Republican who disavowed and left the GOP 15 years ago when it moved too far right, abandoned any principles, and became irredeemably fascist and corrupt. Actually, come to think of it, I came here from Twitter for pretty much the same reasons.

We all know WHY they're doing this, but claiming Nixon was screwed over is barely two steps upstream from Trump's goons just outright stating, "Honestly, Hitler was given a raw deal in WWII, and we need to recognize that America treated the Nazi regime very unfairly by our participation in D-Day."

Before folks start leaping all over this with "Oh, Trump's turning on his biggest allies now," remember that Trump already had a falling out with Fox quite a LONG time ago, which is why he and his minions turned to even further-right channels like NewsMax, who lick his boots to a far better shine.

REBUKE? As in "to sternly reprimand or scold" or "to criticize strongly"…? JFC. The fact that he says a feeble, weak "REBUKE Trump" and not "IMPRISON Trump"—or something even harsher—tells you all you need to know that they have no intention of doing jack shit. Just more Strongly Worded Letters.

So, I tracked the full video of Peter Thiel's "evil is not bad" clip, and when taken within the ACTUAL context, it reveals a completely different argument than what I see people reacting to here. He's still an irremovably disgusting, terrible, twisted ghoul, but for completely DIFFERENT reasons.

"U.S. military lays groundwork for potential action around Cuba" Uggggggh. Everyone telling me it doesn't help to be a pessimist (realist) about this fascist regime sure aren't showing how being an optimist about them is any better.

As someone who is too stupid to understand nuance and thus simplifies everything down to a simple numerical score, stuff like this has got to sting for "the king of ratings" moreso than any of his crimes against humanity ever would.

Honestly, all I can think of as gas prices continue to rise is that random guy in an online discussion with me four years ago, almost to the day, who said that he didn't care if voting Republican would fuck everything else up; he would vote R in the midterms if gas under Biden was over $4.00/gallon.

So, does anyone have info on which restaurant chains to avoid who might have been given this meat? Any word, @altfda.altgov.info? Since we know the oh-so-lauded Private Sector can't remotely regulate itself properly, they likely won't bother doing anything until people ACTUALLY start getting sick.

Perversely, Trump doesn't HAVE a sense of humor. Everything he says is just whatever he's thinking at the moment; he has no internal filter between what passes for his brain and his mouth. Everything he says is completely serious… unless, of course, it isn't well received and is thus 'A jOkE.'

This, by the way, is EXACTLY the sort of response we're going to get from this fascist regime come the midterms if/when they lose the votes and would (theoretically) lose control. Anyone who thinks otherwise (looking at YOU @democrats.org) has their head in the sand deeper than the MAGA cultists.

This 9/11 debate seems silly. We didn't all ONLY have this collective 'patriotic unity' and nothing else, and we didn't all ONLY have this rabid collective bloodlust and nothing else. As with everything, we reacted to the event in different ways at different times. There was no one single aggregate.

Sorry, Wall Street Journal; I hate to burst your so-called exclusive, but I'm pretty sure we ALL are very aware that the "war" will mysteriously and not-at-all-suspiciously end right after Trump doesn't need any further leverage out of it.

Was at my favorite Mexican restaurant for lunch today, and when I asked for the check, I found out that a table of very nice people had anonymously taken care of the bill for me. I didn't see who they were, but I appreciate the gesture greatly and shall be sure to pass that kindness along. #kindness

I certainly agree that this is all absolute batshit, but I think 'duh' comments here are QUITE valid. We've been using HITLER'S LITERAL NAZIS as our expectation of what Trump's fascist regime will be striving to accomplish, so, yeah, if you didn't see this coming, it IS kind of "duh" at this point.

The thunderstorm is potentially wreaking havoc on this fascist regime's "celebration" of their victory over the US, but it's also potentially saving many lives from yet another of their shoddy disasters. I'm certain Trump is still trying to convince people to open things back up again immediately.

Sadly, I find nothing to celebrate today. A fascist regime led by opportunistic conmen and bigots controls the country, and today they are not celebrating the 250th anniversary of the birth of the United States. Instead, they are celebrating the 1st anniversary of its death. #july4th #america >

I was about to throw out a #gw2 post congratulating folks on the #tyriapride event yesterday (which I accidentally stumbled across and then walked for a few hours with) and was surprised to find a screenshot already here that included my character (in the foreground in eye-blinding bright white)! 😍

So, given how embarrassingly terrible, cheap, and shoddy everything Trump et al. have done so far with their sham celebrations—from the reflecting pool disaster to the Freedom250 scam to the Temu Arch—what are the odds on whether their fireworks display ends up burning down a sizable chunk of DC…?

One of the first things this fascist regime did when they took over was work to replace as many high-ranking military personnel as they could with bootlicking sycophants loyal to Trump. The regime knows the military could be the only people able to remove them from power when they refuse to leave.

I mean, I suppose that if Iran DOES wind up with a nuclear weapon by the end of another eight years, at least we can be pretty sure that it WON'T have Obama's name on it at this point...
Obama, too, knew the risk he was taking, as he admitted at the time to The Atlantic’s editor in chief, Jeffrey Goldberg. “Look, 20 years from now, I’m still going to be around, God willing. If Iran has a nuclear weapon, it’s my name on this,” he told Goldberg in 2015.
