Yet again: The state of the freedom of dissent in our exceptional nation that clearly is neither a democracy nor democratic. Just like we freely chose it to be.

Scumbags. Reminder that the patriotic party there has opposed dissent since the 1960s. Trump now making it a capital crime is less of a reach than you’d like to think. If only we have had an opposition party opposing… www.nytimes.com/2026/01/12/u...

“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.” - Isaac Asimov, 1948 Republicans have been anti-intellectual for many decades now.

Great assessment except for misjudging how we changed in the past year as opposed to what we’re first realizing we’ve been for awhile before Trump 2.0. shiplerreport.blogspot.com/2026/01/the-...

Inexplicably cracks me up. As for anyone who expects the Roberts junta to reign Donny in on the Fed, LOL, not going to happen. wolfstreet.com/2026/01/12/j...

aka yet greater lessening of US leverage. thecradle.co/articles-id/...

aka something of a Marxist POV. Via www.nber.org/papers/w34643 This approach is exactly why Roberts, a corporate tool, was appointed in the first place. Part of the Republican reactionary project to take us back to the early, pre-Teddy Roosevelt/Progressive Gilded Age.

He may be correct but I've been waiting since 2015 for Big Media to report that Deranged Donny's completely unfit by any reasonable standard fit for office and since 2021 that after serving, he became even more unfit. YMMV tho' so this. russbaker.substack.com/p/isnt-trump...

Speaking of overcooked economics numbers, here's was Deranged Donny's numbers mean when he spouts numbers--more specifically than just calling it out as insane bullshit, I mean. And assuming it matters. archive.ph/YPeY2

One paying attention and recognizing Donny for the scum he is easily assumed the worst about government statistics under his reign. And here's the proof we were correct: archive.ph/ryKDi Going forward, interpret economics news appropriately.
