Interesting, source?

Careful not to post any messages of support for her, you might be labeled “not a Nazi” and fired from your job.

MTG: Here’s a thing Putin wants and coincidentally I want it too.

The media continues to un-self-critically just repeat whatever self-serving nonsense comes out of Trump’s mouth.

Hey, CNN (and all the other outlets reporting this as a “$15 billion lawsuit”): Trump is using your headline to legitimize a made-up value to a frivolous legal claim, and you are increasing his power by reporting on it as if it isn’t nonsense.

The opening paragraph for easy viewing:

Militant, nationalistic, white supremacist violent extremism has increased in the United States. In fact, the number of far-right attacks continues to outpace all other types of terrorism and domestic violent extremism. Since 1990, far-right extremists have committed far more ideologically motivated homicides than far-left or radical Islamist extremists, including 227 events that took more than 520 lives.[1] In this same period, far-left extremists committed 42 ideologically motivated attacks that took 78 lives.[2] A recent threat assessment by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security concluded that domestic violent extremists are an acute threat and highlighted a probability that COVID-19 pandemic-related stressors, long-standing ideological grievances related to immigration, and narratives surrounding electoral fraud will continue to serve as a justification for violent actions.[3]

So also: the right wing extremism is motivated by immigration ideology grievances and electoral fraud claims. Probably unrelated that an administration built on lies about immigration and electoral fraud wants this removed.

I mean, op said, “I’m going to love watching America eat itself over this.”

Could have said “love watching MAGA” or whatever, but that seems pretty directed to “America”?

They not only started this, they weaponized it during Obama. Democrats always uphold the (arbitrary) confirmation rules when they are in power, always limiting Democrats’ power. When Republicans are in power Democrats cave under threat of changing the (arbitrary) confirmation rules or Republicans change the rules, always expanding Republicans’ power. This is just business as usual.

We don’t like innocent people being killed. This isn’t hard.

Trump: FEED ME THE SACRIFICIAL MARTYR.

Fox News will just switch rat poison brands to feed into the IVs.

So, you’re saying we need to put more money into AI?

My point isn’t quite the same one you’re responding to.

I’m saying that what we’re seeing now is not what they’re doing “anyway.” Trump stretches his delusional reality as far as he can, but he cannot currently stretch it to the point he needs to actually institute martial law. We have to climb that ladder with him, and he’s trying to tempt us as much as possible to do it. Don’t take the bait.

That’s not how it will play out, unfortunately. A sustained violent widespread resistance may work, as an insurgency to a now-or-soon-to-be established fascist regime.

But that isn’t likely in the US. More likely you have pockets of violence that will be politicized for many times the harm compared to the benefit. And we’ve already seen our judiciary is spineless, and even the historically neutral judges will err on the side of not upsetting the right.

Trump is just begging for this, so he can justify his seizure of the National Guard and wage war against citizens. Pretty good distraction from Epstein too.

They’re chasing a narrative that the cities are misbehaving and need daddy Trump to spank them. Nonviolent (but persistent) resistance is the only way to avoid that narrative.

Correct, but they serve the intended purpose, which is to make people worried exercising their rights will get them dragged into court and bankrupt them or worse. That’s enough to dissuade most people.

I know, I know. People don’t understand how they’ve already conceded the war with language.

Me: Like…Yeah, I’m just going to “jailbreak” the small computer I bought to… run a program.

The public unironically: Oh man, I hope you don’t get arrested.

Susan Collins: I’m shocked at this completely unpredictable turn of events.

We need our Bear Mexican(-American US Citizen).

How long ago? Because it looks the MBAs are in charge now.
