Inka inexplicably quit the site last Saturday.

It's a power flex. I'm lying. You know I'm lying. I know you know I'm lying. You swallow it anyway. “The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.”

I hate to be the wet blanket: https://www.reuters.com/fact-check/maine-governor-janet-mills-did-not-threaten-stop-paying-federal-taxes-2025-02-27/ Social media posts shared a graphic featuring photographs of Trump and Mills with a quote attributed to Mills that read: “If Donald Trump stops federal funding to Maine, we the people of Maine will take out federal taxes from all paychecks and no taxes will be paid to the federal government.” There are no credible reports of Mills making this statement. Her Press Secretary, Ben Goodman, said in an email that the statement attributed to Mills is entirely false. “Further, the action described in the false statement is illegal, per the Internal Revenue Code. The Governor respects the rule of law,” Goodman added.

The NYTimes has put together the infamous Signal chat thread and has added multiple annotations throughout, translating their meanings and adding context. It's really useful and easy to follow. Here's a gift link to get past the paywall: https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/03/25/us/signal-group-chat-text-annotations.html?unlocked_article_code=1.604.uRUz.xZc2208w3tmU&smid=url-share -
I'm going to turn off my brain and ignore the cognitive dissonance I'm experiencing because I'm in a cult. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go make fun of another cult that also happens to share my worldview.

What some people don't get is that corruption and incompetence *is* Trumpism. That's why a lot of evil morons joined the Trump train; it's their vehicle for getting us to fucking Auschwitz. Edit: I'm keeping the above but would like to modify/clarify. What some people don't get is that corruption and incompetence *is* Trumpism. That's why a lot of evil oligarchs joined the Trump train; it's their vehicle for getting us to Yarvin's cybermonarchy. -
Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

I thought the over-the-top, celebratory lyrics in the style of a treacly "praise hymn" were on point. Also, I want her t-shirt. -
Have you ever heard of the German political party Alternative für Deutschland (AfD), and do you know their history? Are you aware of Musk's activities in support of that party? Are you aware of how Musk reinvited neo-Nazis back to Xitter and how the site actually boosts and promotes their tweets? Did you know that several Jewish groups have announced they're leaving the site in response to all Musk's Scheiß? https://www.axios.com/2025/01/28/jewish-groups-leaving-x-musk-antisemitism

Yeah, that's what I'm getting at with these questions, and I'm just some schmo living out in the wastelands. I don't watch cable news, so this next question is less rhetorical: Why isn't the question "Who the fuck is in charge?" being hammered? -

Okay, so we have Trump's malevolent sidekick, Ren Höek, telling the group that he *thinks* this is what POTUS wants while there's some disagreement among the principals on the call. Did POTUS even know about this attack? Did he authorize it? Who exactly was in charge? -

I'll ask again: Why was POTUS not in on this call? He's the fucking CiC. Why wasn't he "commanding" instead of leaving it all up to these goofballs to gossip about the attack like they were in a FB private group? Whatever happened to gathering in the Situation Room or War Room or whatever they call it? We were bombing another country for Pete's sake. -

Much like the Dead Milkmen, any Judy's post gets an autorep from me. So many great adolescent memories from both.

The Leopards Eating Faces and Unlubed Dildo of Consequences Thread

Failed GOP candidate turned attempted political killer. Why did he do it? A federal jury in New Mexico found Solomon Peña, 40, guilty of orchestrating a shooting spree aimed at Democratic lawmakers, including two who certified his election loss. A failed GOP candidate in New Mexico was convicted of orchestrating a shooting spree aimed at Democratic elected officials, including two who certified his election loss, the U.S. Attorney’s Office announced Monday. Solomon Peña, who ran for a seat in the New Mexico legislature in 2022, was convicted at trial of over a dozen charges in organizing attacks on four lawmakers. His involvement included not just recruiting gunmen - who have already plead guilty - but he participated in one of the attacks using a machine gun, according to court filings. From jail he also tried having witnesses killed, federal officials said. No one was hurt in the shootings, which occurred after Peña's November 2022 electoral defeat. He pressured members of the Bernalillo County Board of Commissioners to refuse to certify the results of the election, but despite Peña’s pressure, the commissioners certified the results. The dozens of bullets fired in the assaults hit houses, cars and even passed inside the bedroom of a 10-year-old girl, according to court filings and statements from police. Bernalillo County Commissioner Adriann Barboa, who was the first official targeted and oversaw election certification at the time, celebrated Peña’s conviction but said his actions were symptomatic of a growing problem of political violence in America. “We have to send a clear message that violence is not tolerable, period,” Barboa told USA TODAY. “Without these kinds of precedents set, people will continue to think that they can take the law into their own hands.” The attacks came amid a rash of political violence across the nation, from an angry mob threatening the lives of top U.S. lawmakers certifying the 2020 presidential election results to the attempted assassination of President Donald Trump at a campaign rally in Pennsylvania last year. Holland S. Kastrin, the acting U.S. Attorney for New Mexico, noted the high stakes of the case. “A cornerstone of our freedoms is for all citizens, elected officials, and candidates for office to be able to participate in our democratic process safely and securely, without threats, intimidation, or the fear of violence or retaliation,” Kastrin told USA TODAY. “Peña not only orchestrated a violent conspiracy to undermine these bedrock principles but also sought to have witnesses against him murdered. We welcome the well-founded guilty verdicts which both hold the defendant accountable for his violent and reckless actions and affirm the rule of law.” Peña and crew committed the shooting spree between Dec. 4, 2022 and Jan. 3, 2023. They also targeted a state senator, state representative and another county commissioners responsible for certifying election results. The 40-year-old faces a mandatory minimum penalty of 60 years and a maximum penalty of life in prison, the U.S. Attorney’s Office said. A sentencing hearing has not been scheduled yet. Accomplices Jose and Demetrio Trujillo plead guilty last year and will be sentenced in the spring, federal officials said. Attorneys for Peña did not respond to requests for comment. -

That one's a big question mark for me. I might be really naive, but I'd thought the CiC and his whole team would assemble in the Situation Room (or War Room or whatever) for shit like this. But, nope, these folks were scattered to the wind posting shit like they were in a Surly game thread or on Facebook posting a bunch of juvenile shit. WHERE WAS THE PRESIDENT? -

Pretty sure NPR reported this morning the messages had been authenticated by the Pentagon or something similar. -
I'm kind of amazed no one in Andrews has caught it yet since I figured those two communities would have at least somewhat close economic and social ties. It does make sense for it to have jumped over into Hobbs, as I'm sure a lot of Gaines residents do some shopping over there. With it hitting Lubbock, the Hub City as it's known on the South Plains (regional center for commerce, education, and healthcare), it also makes sense that it can spread from there into areas that have no real ties at all to ground zero in Seminole.

Don't know if this was intentional, but I like it better than "college" as it's more descriptive of how our electoral system actually reflects the will of the people.

Glancing at the map, it looks like a new West Texas county popped up: Lamb County (Littlefield). 15 of the 18 new cases were reported in Gaines County, which I guess is kinda, sorta good news, I guess. https://www.fox4news.com/news/texas-measles-outbreak-2025-18-new-cases-reported-west-texas
