A functional country would shut Grok down permanently. Like, immediately. Right now. Last week. Whatever. Just flip the switch. Obviously.

so many accounts here lately telling Americans that we need to take lessons from European history or be afraid that our outcomes will be like theirs if we don't do something contrary to what America is fundamentally about. it's frankly fucking remarkable what they think they can do to us.

YOU MUST MAINTAIN YOUR STRENGTH AND POWER! TAKE YOUR MEDICATIONS.

The main reason the Constitution has proven so inadequate over the past year is that the framers never contemplated a congressional majority so desperate to be subservient to the executive. The whole idea behind checks and balances is that the branches are supposed to be rivals to an extent.

“The longer Americans indulge this preference for the language of the law over morality, the weaker their moral voice becomes. They lose the ability to say, forthrightly, that what the Trump administration has done is cold-blooded murder for which they and their partisans should be ashamed.”

Correct, it's obviously and immediately impeachable

And here I stand both to impeach and purge

this is the thing most people don't understand and don't want to hear that the soldiers did not disobey illegal orders coming straight from the president, when Congress had the opportunity to prevent those orders *and didn't,* is as much an institutional failure as it is a moral one of the soldiers

Yes and no JSOC is not SOCOM is not the rest of DoD (and the rest of DoD tagging along with their small part of JSOC's latest illegal fever dream is, while not a good thing, different from them being whole hog into running their own fever dream)

qui in the fuck bono

headline/photo combo here goes crazy

Really stark to see such division and incredibly disappointing to see The Washington Post go down the path of lawless authoritarianism. Jeff Bezos will go down as a villain of this era, and that is as it should be.

Lemon,

Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance’s friend & ideological influence, ended 2025 by claiming “only Hitler spoke the truth” about “too many subjects” & “Hitler was a genius.” Extremism isn’t fringe on the right. Once marginal online extremists like Yarvin are influential at the highest levels of government.

Some of you need to get off social media just because it makes you spew an endless stream of loser shit. There is no option but victory, no outcome but the eradication of the adversary.

I've voiced this in a few places. We are fighting the great, truly evil adversary at the heart of man. This is the same force of barbarism opposed to the very idea of civilization since the age of Çatalhöyük and, then as today, society hinged on those who understood the subhuman evil of the enemy.

"actually things NEED to get significantly worse and millions need to die so my idealized vision of the future can rise from the ashes and the self-actualized form of man, possessed of a full understanding of history, supertemporal you might say, can rise from the ashes" makes you think!!!

Jamelle Bouie for president

again, every Democrat has not in fact done this by any stretch of the imagination, and there have been multiple statements - here's a few - www.thecentersquare.com/illinois/art... - that condemn this unequivocally but sure, if you just lie about it you can feel fine saying both sides are the same.

presented without commentary

"Well, he's a dictator whose people don't actually want him in charge" is an interesting precedent for this guy to set

now where have I heard this before

GOP Rep. Mariannette Miller-Meeks: "We don't want to have troops on the ground. Iowans don't want that, Americans don't want that. We do not want nation building. This is not what's going to occur."

everyone who was doing organizing on 5/25/20 just looking around at each other this morning like

Speaker Johnson must call the House of Representatives back into session immediately to reign in this out-of-control President.

of course they did. what else is there to even say.

call your federal representatives at their local and DC offices this isn't the time for cynicism - call them by the end of today and tell them to *get off their ass* and stop this bullshit IMMEDIATELY. don't email, don't text - call talk to them/their staff directly, or leave a voicemail DO IT.

it is a little disconcerting that none of the people in charge of anything right now seem to know how to do it. like, if you were on a bus and the driver started whipping around all crazy and yelling about how buses don’t need wheels you’d probably be like, hey. this guy shouldn’t be driving the bus

Oh what a wicked web we weave when we like weave wicked webs and shit like that.

I'd like to personally thank anyone who voted for Donald Trump, regardless of other political leanings, on the belief that he would stick to non-interventionist principles of foreign policy in his second term. cool stuff, very wisdom, many judgement

i am goofus and every day is hell

"don't regulate us or force us to pay taxes or install ANY ethical guard rails whatsoever or you'll never see magic space utopia" is the repeated lie, propped up by a shit press

holy fuck

The texas rangers (mlb) r playing the carolina panthers (nfl) but they r playing hockey to make things even

what a terrible loss to the commonwealth www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

now hold on JUST A GODDAMNED MINUTE. these people... are down here in my American south... forcing Black Americans to show their citizenship papers and accusing them of being undocumented immigrants... at the same time they're trying to cancel the 14th Amendment? www.propublica.org/article/memp...

👀 👀 👀 now folks, why would *they* be running with *that* angle *right now*? is... their love of America being questioned, perhaps? a Republican administration suddenly feels the need to remind us that they really love America? how strange!!!

12 hours into his Administration, Zohran Mamdami’s socialist project has failed miserably

We haven't seen an Indiana squad turn back an Alabama offense this decisively since Antietam

"If it wasn’t Shirley’s video, it would have been something else. If it wasn’t MN, it would have been somewhere else. If it wasn’t about daycare fraud, it would have been something else. Everything this administration does is about creating a fig leaf to justify its violent dismantling of democracy"

I used to think X had no public utility but it is developing into some sort of monument to billionaire hubris. It's a living museum of paranoiac mania, a Grey Gardens situation.

welcome to bluesky, newcomers, I'm Spencer Hall and I need your vote to become the next governor of West Virginia

The split-screen here is unbelievable - first from yesterday, the others from 2017. Musk’s Twitter has truly driven us mad. People absorb far more of their beliefs from their social environment than they realize, and we’ve created an environment where being a gutter bigot is the baseline expectation

they're probably really really hoping no one remembers this happened at this point

The tech/VC industry becoming overtly partisan combined with economic/political correlations in a downturn is a risk those guys surely haven’t thought about.

X contributes to popular culture in the same way Jared from Subway does.

it is bad, but even if they do kick off some garbage somehow, it's ok because the solution is just summer 2020. that scared the fash half to death, and they were still pretty much on top of the world back then. plus, we've got the No Kings Boomers on our side now! we're all gonna be ok, stay chill ♥️
