Disdain

What?

I'm sorry but what?

Yeah good luck with that.

Trump has no intention of imposing sanctions OR tariffs on Putin's Russia... That would have happened by now as anyone would agree.

I don't mean to sound disrespectful, but have you been paying attention?

You're like 3 weeks behind. It's already there.

I don't post here very often.

What's the point of this platform if it's so heavily curated that we're denied the ability to engage with the opposition?

I signed up for Twitter for the first time tonight.

What a garbage scow.

The problem with Bluesky is that it curates and segregates our communities.

I don't need to argue with people of like mind about nuances.

I need to argue with people who seemingly would never agree with me.

Obviously.

I don't need to preach to the choir.

What?

The Australian Rupert Murdoch has done more damage to the US than the Soviets did throughout the breadth of the Cold War.

His secret? He wrapped every anti-American opinion piece dressed as "news" with images of monster trucks and shit-kickin' work boots.

And he won.

Reading CNN is like trying to stomach a mayonnaise sandwich with extra mayo.

Nothing is more important right now in the western world than the Trump administration's assertion that it can suspend habeas corpus.

Nothing.

To the braindead among us,

If and when a president sits in office that YOU don't like and has the ability you granted him to "disappear" his opponents without charge or trial... stripping them of their citizenship perhaps...

You'll sing a different song to deaf ears.

You dumb fucks.

If you're cool with handing over your inalienable rights to a handful of politicians NOT TO BE DISAPPEARED WITHOUT CHARGES OR A RIGHT TO TRIAL, good for you.

If you're cool with handing over MY inalienable rights to trial, FUCK YOU.

This is America.

They're coming for Habeus Corpus. They're coming, today, for YOUR right NOT to be DISAPPEARED without trial, forevermore.

STOP pretending this is banal.

If you've been tricked into thinking this only applies to "THEM", you don't know how you've been tricked into handing over YOUR RIGHTS.

We pay taxes to help "the general welfare" of our nation.

That's why we PAY taxes.

The wealthy don't CARE about the general welfare of the nation.

They care only for themselves.

Some might call that treasonous.

Yeah, I hear you. You're not wrong.

The absurdity of all of this is that what they're doing is right out in the open. They're issuing tariffs on unpopulated Islands. None of this is real. None of it.

All of this is just an Intel Op.

We need to stop legitimizing it.

Deeply irresponsible.

THAT'S the most concise way to describe this administration, regardless of political stripe.

We all know it.

I don't know about all this, no one does, but I'll say this...

If you were tasked with undermining US security alliances, World trade, and global stability, you would do what this Administration is doing.

I'm not the only one that has noticed this. No one talks about it though. That's curious.

F*** Putin's Russia and their war of aggression, and the piles of civilian casualties they're directly responsible for

"reciprocal" tarriffs

I'm not sure that he's a nasty piece of work so much as a victim of the worms that tunnelled into his brain. God help him.

God help us all.

We're all done, here.

At least until the dumb ass electorate loses enough money to repudiate these assholes and put proper governance back in place.

However long that's going to take.

No... Everything is fine.

Just keep repeating it, over and over until you start believing it.

Everything is fine.

Yes.

In all the talk about austerity measures and cutting social services.... the ones that WE pay for out of our taxes.... It's curious that no one talks about the fact that the minimum wage is still mandated at 7.25 an hour. That's our wage floor.

Curious that.

Why are you talking about this right now?

Small men with power coifs

Curtis Yarvin is an empty vessel. He's a douche.

If you don't know who he is, you should.

They cultivate that hairstyle because it's so alien. Because it doesn't look human.

It's done in part for the cameras, sure. But it's more than that. It's done, in part, to make them seem somehow colossal.

...

Doesn't work with me.

I'm 6'8. I could easily noogie that guy for an hour.

Mike Johnson.

If I said what I wanted to say about that sack of shit, I'd get a visit by the FBI.... if there IS still an FBI thanks to Mike FUCKING Johnson.

That wimpy twat. That noone. That handy tool in a suit, of power players.

No one ever accused Mike Johnson of being too smart.

Having a given President seemingly declare an active foreign adversary a 'sudden ally' and treat them as such DOESN'T MAKE THEM SO.
