Trump and the Roberts Court are all about enforcing a rigid social hierarchy and damning those whose lives don't fit their narrow views.

LBJ: "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you." This is why the GOP is absolutely spamming racist ai slop about SNAP.

It’s tiresome at this point, but again, their entire pitch is “wouldn’t it be great if there were no such things as talent, craft, and skill,” and what that means is a bland, slop-filled world.

1. More Americans work at the Cheesecake Factory than in the entire coal industry, and that won't change. It's because of automation, not snooty libs. 2. Coal energy is now more expensive than wind and solar. 3. So this means: higher energy prices, more pollution, no jobs benefit. Genius!

If the Trump administration cared about addressing crime, it would tell ICE agents to stop kidnapping and torturing people. But it's encouraging and rewarding them for doing so because it is a criminal enterprise.
