Shumer is actually voting to give trump and musk money to continue destroying the government? 
It's starting to get to the point that Democrats not doing the obvious thing and drilling these assholes publicly for the shit they're doing means they're secretly ok with it all happening. They aren't poor. They aren't losing their jobs. Their kids go to private schools too. 
Not rising up as a voice for the American people at this time means they just flat out don't want the responsibility of following through on promising to help the American people. 

They’re scared. Plain and simple. Most don’t want the mob sicked on them and/or eventually sent to a camp or prison.

So we need to threaten them with violence to get them to represent us? Is that what they are saying?

Then it's all over, this is a dictatorship run by the dumbest dictator since Nero, and we all might as well just enjoy every day the system and infrastructure hasn't collapsed on our heads and killed us.

It's okay.  We'll be distracted by the war with Canada before the end of the summer.  So we have that to look forward to.

And no, I'm not kidding.  It has ratcheted up from "no fucking way" to "maybe it could happen" to "holy shit, it's really going to happen" in no time. 

You cannot demonstrate the level of belligerence that Trump has towards Canada and NOT end up in a shooting war.  

Dear God, this is all so dumber than even I could have imagined.

Nothing bad has ever happened under Trump.

Is there any doubt that if he hadn’t been president in 2020, he’d be saying “Covid never would have happened with me as president!”.

The rationale is that if the government shuts down, Trump and Musk will go hog wild destroying institutions and do far more damage than if the government stays open. Would we even hear what all they were cutting until the government re-opened?

They're going to do it anyway. Don't give them the funding and approval of Congress to do it. Make them do it on their own and fight it in the courts.

... but rest assured that regardless you'll pay 3x as much in increased costs due to tariffs (while the rich folks somehow end up paying even less as we eventually gut any progressive taxes in favor of regressive sales taxes / tariffs).

Lulz. It’s ok, you don’t understand how this specific process has worked, or more generally how the adcom process works. I told y'all the strains were already selected with the FDA and CDCs involvement.you are correct that there are lots bad processes at the FDA. I thought that this had become obvious to most during the COVID period, but maybe not. 

I hope it yields a good result, and this isn’t my area of expertise. But I’m not sure how removing independent external experts  makes the decisions of public bureaucracies better.

“As the premier Arts organization in the United States of America, we must work to make the Kennedy Center a place where everyone is welcomed,” Grenell wrote. “We clearly have work to do. And I hear your outrage.”

He cited the center’s diversity as a strength. “As President, I take diversity and inclusion very seriously,” he wrote. “I have met with many of you, and I love that we are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, agnostic, gay, straight, black, white, Hispanic and absolutely different.”

“Intolerance towards people who are politically different is just as unacceptable as intolerance in other areas,” he added. “Everyone is welcome at the Kennedy Center.”

At this point, our only shot is for 1) invasion of Canada, leading to a hot war, which 2) leads to mutiny among members of the military and/or secession by multiple states that will not go along with the madness, leading to 3) civil war, and then 4) maybe when it's all over, and we've only used 3-5 nukes on our own soil, we can slowly reconstitute ourselves into a functioning nation with 5% of its former prosperity and power.

I'm thinking that's our BEST case scenario, FFS.

I told you earlier up thread. The adcom is just a rubber stamp. The political hay, to the extent it is to be made here, is pointing out the role of the WHO GIDP group and the necessity of effective collaboration between FDA/CDC and that group. Despite the loud public rhetoric from the admin leaving the WHO, the key partners were waived to engage with the GIDP flu surveillance group, shared our data, and contributed to the strain selection process. Which is good, it's an important process. And that engagement needs to continue in the future. There is lots to criticize the WHO about, but this is an important function. Our political climate doesn't allow for much nuance though, so here we are. Take those talking points as my gift to you, and next time miss me with the @ when you run across a tweet in a subject matter area that you have no idea how it works.

Correct.  It's over, and the Democrats know it's over, and they are afraid of what is coming, and rightly so.

Let's say just for a second the country gets incredibly lucky, again, and there are actually elections in 2026. And Republicans get hammered because of this insanity, and trump backs down because he doesn't want to be arrested after getting impeached by a Democrat Congress. 

Either in 2028. Or 2030. Or 2032... Americans will turn it all back over to Republicans. 

There's no hope because there's no learning from mistakes. There's no acknowledgement of reality. It's rinse and repeat until the country has devolved into Russia.

If we eliminate federal income tax because tariffs are covering the bills, but the increased prices due to tariffs are being paid by the people, isn’t it just a shell game?  
how are the rich going to avoid what is essentially a sales or consumption tax, when income tax creativity isn’t available to them?

That would be amazing actually. And as you said, the rich can't avoid it, even better!

Our Democrats would never do that.  Too close to a dirty word.  The closest we'd get is "I'm looking for Amanda Huginkiss."  Nope, wait, scratch that - that's kinda homophobic.  Maybe "I'm looking for a Hugh Jass.  Has anyone seen a Hugh Jass?"

The regime has told the people there is only one way to stop them, and is openly daring the people to do it.  That's the play.  They figure that their appetite for blood is greater than that of the American people.  They're probably right.

saw a blurb yesterday that musk would use a shutdown to basically nuke very large groups of govt employees 

Essential workers will still work. It’s not like musk and his merry band of dipshits will be roaming empty halls of government 

Posted

Saw this on LI

DARK MAGA*

If you're a little confused about what Musk is trying to achieve with DOGE, here's the breakdown:

Elon Musk and Peter Thiel cofounded a company that became PayPal. 

Other executives at PayPal went on to found or lead other huge tech companies including YouTube, LinkedIn, Reddit, Affirm, and many VC firms. 

This group became known as the PayPal mafia because they basically controlled Silicon Valley. 

Peter Thiel mentored a young JD Vance and helped him get set up in his first VC firm. 

Peter Thiel and the PayPal mafia funded JD Vance's successful Senate run. Amazing because he had absolutely zero political experience. 

Thiel and Musk all but forced Trump to choose JD Vance as VP in exchange for funding his presidential campaign. 

The three of them, plus a lot of other tech billionaires subscribe to an ideology called the Dark Enlightenment espoused by this super weird, creepy dude: Curtis Yarvin aka Mencius Moldbug. 

Yarvin preaches that the media and academia represent "The Cathedral" that secretly controls power and must be dismantled. 

He advocates for a corporate run, monarchy, led by a CEO-Dictator. 

Says that Democracy is an "outdated software" and openly opposes it and that:
-  Government agencies should be dismantled and The U.S. should be broken up into "patchworks" controlled by tech oligarchs. 
- That the elite tech billionaires should rule because they have the intelligence to "fix" society
- That the "masses are asses" too dumb to govern themselves. 

The strategy is to gut the government via R.A.G.E - Retire All Govt Employees to make government incapable of operating. 

Then to replace government with private corporations.
 
To eliminate elections because they are "obsolete"

To use distraction and chaos to prevent public resistance. 

Trump is their useful tool to be disposed of as soon as they can wrest control. 

This is why Elon wears a black MAGA hat. They are not Trump supporters, they are "Dark MAGA"

This isn't a hypothetical. The plan is already in motion:
- Musk, Thiel, and their network are actively dismantling democratic institutions.
- JD Vance, the “MAGA heir,” is being positioned to help implement this transition.
- The public is too distracted to realize what’s happening.
- If successful, democracy in America will be permanently replaced by a corporate-run authoritarian state.
-----------------------------------
That's it. Now that you understand that you can see how everything that's happening fits within that lens. 

Now the only question is what do we do about it? 

That's my Dark Ted Talk. Thanks for listening.
