  1. Federal government officials making official statements on the cause of plane crash involving a military aircraft is now apparently "political." We are so fucked as a country.
  2. Um, the totally qualified Secretary of Transportation.
  3. There's also been a year's worth of news in the past week. Edit to add: And those of us who have jobs, or want to keep some remnants of sanity, are trying not to stare at this crap all day. Despite way too much time today online.
  4. Stealing money from the taxpayers and installing himself as king. Also create unrest and declare martial law, and install himself as king. He said he was going to do this.
  5. I'm so sorry for your loss, Brisket.
  6. Good thing we're not spending money feeding hungry children or paying for grandma's nursing home stay.
  7. A combination of #2 with the addition of option #3. The cruelty is the point. They want people to suffer. They want schools and hospitals to shut down. I'm not sure if they're fine ignoring hungry kids or they want brown kids to go hungry. I'm also not sure if there's any difference. They want these overall consequences.
  8. What's blowing up in his face? He's golfing while enjoying tons of paid for security at one of his many mansions, while keeping Daddy Putin happy.
  9. Maga Republicans don't give a fuck. Six months from now when planes start falling out of the sky, half the country will blame DEI and the other half won't even know or care it happened because they'll be too consumed with deportations or the upcoming war with Denmark, or whatever fresh hell maga comes up with next.
  10. Or they shut down the wrong engine.
  11. Finally found something I agree with turnip on. We're a shithole country.
  12. Also the lies about FEMA not helping. My friends in NC are fucking pissed about turnip hampering clean up efforts after Helene.
  13. It's allowed because the rule of law doesn't apply to trump. The MAGA judge doesn't give a fuck about applying the law here.
  14. Yeah, but did he call you the "enemy from within"? A "very bad person"? A "very sick person"? A "radical lunatic"?
  15. He's doing this Nazi crap on the sixth anniversary of the Tree of Life shooting.
  16. I'm old enough to remember when Walz mentioned white people tacos.
  17. The point is the outrage. They know they can't win this without cheating. And they need their cult behind them when they cheat. Get everyone not in the cult outraged, and no longer speaking to their trumpy friends and family. Silo their people off even more from real news.
  18. What's concerning about this isn't the endorsement itself. No idiot who is somehow undecided at this point is going to be reading the WaPo, never mind swayed by what its editorial staff thinks. The problem with the lack of endorsement, and why I canceled my subscription today, is that it's a huge danger sign of what's happened to free press and the First Amendment in this country. Either because of fears of retribution from the government or because the boss is in bed with trump for even more billions, the suits stepped on the editorial board and journalists. So much of the news industry has gone to shit in this country, and WaPo was one of the few remaining semi-responsible media outlets left that actually did some investigative journalism. And now they've just shown that because of either fear or money or both, they're going to bow down to MAGA.
  19. Your love for America is based solely on how many flags you hug or bald eagle pictures you post on Facebook.
  20. Remember when he was going to hire the best people.
  21. He literally tried to overthrow the U.S. government. And then sold state secrets to Russia. And he's the Republican candidate for president in a close race. Nothing will make any difference.
  22. Anecdotal, and I've posted about my Republican friend in NC who seemed weak in her dotard support, but I'd figure she'd probably still quietly vote for him, even if at this point she was clearly too embarrassed to admit it to the rest of us. But after the lies about FEMA, she is PISSED at trump and is openly and vocally supporting Harris.
  23. A million times this. It's not the obvious, blatant bigots who nearly everyone agrees can get fucked. It's the people who turn a blind away or explain away the bigotry and let it flourish.
  24. Hah. That is nothing. When dotard was president, I worked down the street from the small commuter airport he would fly into to golf at Bedminster. Every Friday at 4:30 pm in summer he would fly in, and all the roads would shut down. Without fail. I know it's far from the worst thing he's done, but the selfishness of shutting down all those roads at Friday rush hour to get a game of golf in was infuriating.
