  1. I’m so ready to go a few days without thinking about the President of the United States. I think one of the things working against trump is just a general weariness related to his penchant for doing fucked up stuff to distract from the last fucked up stuff.
  2. If you’re fantasizing about secret police and paramilitary brownshirts confronting opposition anti-fascists maybe it would be helpful to distinguish what exactly it is that sets you apart from a fascist.
  3. It's a dog whistle targeted at "white flight" people. Biden supports affordable housing initiatives and in response Trump starts talking about canceling the suburbs.
  4. Love this thread from the responses--apparently the Trumper thinks Gerald Ford won and election and is his favorite *living* president.
  5. #ReleaseTheMemo
  6. Supreme Court: Presidents are not above the law Trump: Hold my beer
  7. Can you be pardoned for something before charges are even brought?
  8. Kantianism especially as it pertains to Kant's views on race.
  9. Someone needs needs to FOIA redacted portions of Mueller Report related to Stone.
  10. Law and Order!
  11. Things not going well for Joe Biden.
  12. What a snowflake.
  13. He's obviously informed now. And we can expect what exactly?
  14. If he gets his ass kicked, they'll throw him under the bus like they did Bush I and absorb him in their next round of illuminati, lizard-people conspiracy theories.
  15. Promises kept!
  16. Doubtful. Hobbits don't live above ground.
  17. My favorite part is when he says, do you really think he'd retweet a video of someone saying "White Power". Um. Yes. Because he did.
  18. Irony?
  19. I'm sure his EO sounded like a good idea politically when he issued it. But he's really backed himself in the corner. Without it, he could blame others for the decisions that need to be made. With it, he owns this thing. So now he's "damned if you do, damned if you don't" fucked. And what sucks for all of us is that this--like so many other important things in our lives--has been politicized into tribalism. And we can't seem to work together or agree upon facts related to science, all of our livelihoods, or our health. It's a "you bad, me good" thing. And it fucking sucks. We're weak as fuck as a country right now, and boy does it show.
  20. "Brethren. Please open your Bibles to Mein Kampf, chapter 6, verse 6."
  21. The real nexus goes back to 1950's US propaganda and identity and nationalism built on things that weren't at all what made us great and unique as a country. Essentially, the Republican ideal America was rubber-stamped when we had whites-only water fountains. The call themselves Patriots, but they're not willing to give one thing up to lift the country up as a whole. Their beliefs are all mottos and dog signals that they don't even believe in. They say they believe in states rights (which is their white-washed excuse for the civil war), but they don't really believe in states rights. They say they believe in small government, but the military is part of the government. They call themselves fiscal conservatives, but have never met a tax cut they didn't like. They are for themselves. They are not Patriots. And their national identity relates to demonizing those of us would have the audacity to seek progress.
  22. Where are the Senator's wives, children, parents, aunts, uncles, friends, etc supposed to work during those four years if not for "campaign"?
  23. The president of Poland is from the Law and Justice Party (read neo-fascists) who among other things have came to power on conspiracy theories.
