This is an ourtageously chickenshit angle to add to this story from NPR:image.png.2d46dc17467cdbe2e76ffbae79e7eb69.png

What even vaguely suggests it was an error? It's not a reporter's place to line out something that may be true and then validate it by asking around for a quote. Thanks for pre-empting the administrations lie about what happened. Fuck you.

Well, the user name from a RW account should have been the tip off. While Mr. (I'm assigning a pronoun) Mad Maximus likely thinks of himself and identifies as the road warrior from the franchise; per usual he completely misses the point because his attitude is more along the lines of Toecutter or Immortan Joe, brutish selfish men for whom violence and oppression were breakfast foods upon which to feast. But then again, Mr. Maximus missing the point from a film is no surprise--liberal arts is one of those fancy dandy beta topics and comprehension above a six grade level not in his wheelhouse.

I watched the first half of "Einstein and the Bomb" on Netflix last night.  Einstein had a quote about Nazi Germany in the 30s: "The present state of affairs in Germany is a state of psychic distemper in the masses. Hitler picked up human flotsam on the streets and in the taverns and organized them around himself."  I think that describes the American Right perfectly. Trump didn't "organize" anything but his violent rhetoric drew them to him like flies to a huge steaming pile of shit.

The problem I see with your example is that both Trump and the American Right are huge steaming piles of shit.  No flies whatsoever.

Ooh oooh I’ve got an Einstein story!

We moved to Los Alamos in 1998. There was an older lady I worked with who was born there in like 1946 or something like that. Her father was in the army and stationed there during the Manhattan Project and was in the transportation group. One day he was told to go down to where they would pick up personnel at the Rio Grande. 
 

Imagine his surprise when he got down there to see Albert fucking Einstein standing in what at the time was the middle of BFE (it still is actually). Clutching his suitcase, wondering what the hell he had gotten himself into.

Close your eyes, relax and go back in time and imagine Obama saying and doing this. It would have been talk radio fodder for at least 18 months. We’d still probably be talking about it.

I just have a really hard time believing that someone with the ability to spend $5 million would want to spend that to move here. I'm looking at places that offer golden visas so I can move out. This isn't a very affordable place to retire and we have other, much cheaper options if you are young and looking to move here to make money.

Where is the statutory authority to offer this? Can we all step back and remember we have to pass laws in this country? They might not even be able to pass a budget with their own votes through reconciliation- they surely won’t be able to pass anything that needs to beat a filibuster

Trump is still saying that we're paying SS to a bunch of 200 year-olds. I'll wait patiently for one of these reporters to correct him.

Yup, my daughter is 15 hours from her bachelor's at UT and is looking to apply to a variety of elite PhD programs in the US.  Those plans may get put on hold.  Thanks, (f)Elon.

Trumpism is hedonism for assholes. It’s a license for callous shitheads to indulge their greediest, most inhumane impulses. So the idea that we should murder and/or displace an entire population of human beings, raze their homeland, and erect a tacky gilded monument to the Ugly American tourist on the ashes of this genocide couldn’t be more perfectly on brand.

My wife is currently enrolled in a grad program with a French business school. It has been an incredible experience for her so far. It requires a ton of travel, but her professional network has expanded immensely since she’s one of only three Americans in her cohort. We’re both hoping that this exposure will eventually lead to a professional opportunity for her in Europe.

im not on Twitter and i don't even really know how to post a link from there, if it even works anymore? i tried to find another video but nothing yet, and given our new state media who knows if it will even be talked about...

anyways, i've been doing pretty good...this is the first time in weeks i actually wept.

well i guess that link doesn't work. so it's a vid of Trump talking about 'we're gonna be able to take down trees, you know we're so restricted environmentally, we're gonna be freeing up our forests'... and so on...
