This is not materially different from Josef Mengele. The concept is to deliberately expose people to serious harm so you can gather more data on what you already know will hurt them. It's not some big coincidence the Nuremberg Code expressly prohibits everything resembling this kind of "science."

the fox narrative, which is the gop narrative, was that blm went wild, burned down cities and democrats like biden/harris ignored the mass destruction and called them "mostly peaceful" we all know thats not what happened, but thats what your conservative neighbors believed happened

A much more accurate name would be Executives United.

No one can be watching this Davos speech and reach any conclusion but that the President of the United States is mentally disturbed and that something is deeply wrong with him. This is both embarrassing and extremely dangerous.

guys minneapolis is a living hell today. they've tear-gassed so many people, tear-gassed a park, beaten people up in front of me. greg bovino is rolling around to gas stations and posing in front of them, trying to cause a riot.

i think the legislation biden signed into law was very good and i wrote hundreds of thousands of words about it. but i also think he and harris and others fucked up royally on basic politics. the two things are not irreconcilable. the party sucks at politics and could be way better at policy.

JD Vance once wondered if Trump was just another Nixon or America’s Hitler. What he didn’t say was, “If he is America’s Hitler, then sign me up!”

Below I paste a message sent by Trump to the prime minister of Norway. This is an emergency. Every member of Congress, Republican and Democratic alike, must demand Trump's immediate resignation. He wants to destroy everything. “Dear Jonas: Considering your Country decided not to give me the Nobel

Facts matter. Immigration violations are not violent crimes. Overstaying a visa is a civil offense not a felony, not murder. We can debate policy without abandoning reality. Let’s tell the truth.👇

I told my family about this during Trump 1. Even more proph now. For example:

Donald Trump has been president for one year today, and this is where we are. Can we survive another year at this rate? Another three?

You know that Greg Bovino definitely collects World War II “memorabilia.” And from which side.

1️⃣ He didn't say that. 2️⃣ He said it, but you misunderstood him. 3️⃣ He said what you understood, but he was just trolling. 4️⃣ He was serious but he's just negotiating, not going to do it. 5️⃣ He's going to do it for grand strategy reasons I've invented. 6️⃣ Look what you liberals made him do.

You would think that some moderately competent journalist could hit the angle that these ICE agents are openly sporting tattoos from groups that the FBI has designated as white supremacist and domestic terrorist and pressure for them to be fired. You would think that some elected officials

Can we start talking about the fact that Trump and Musk stole the 2024 election? Why was it not investigated thoroughly? All seven swing states? Democrat votes all the way down ballot and Trump at the top? Musk: “If we lose I’m fucked” Trump: “We already have the votes” I mean, really?

Exactly

This is the way.

wrote about the occupation in minnesota with a closing note on how the white house has exactly one tactic — repression with goons — but no particular strategy for dealing with entrenched resistance. gift link.

Christ, this (from Lizza's latest) is pretty fucking damning of...literally the entire media(?) What the fuck?

If you can “give” your Nobel Peace Prize to someone like Donald Trump, you clearly didn’t deserve a Nobel Peace Prize.

the president has declared war on an american state and the leaders of the opposition wont shut the fuck up about retraining the stormtroopers

This administration is full of liars. We have to use that against them. We have to call them liars. Show that they’re liars. And relish the chance to do it over and over again when they keep lying. musingsofanobody.substack.com/p/when-they-...

Just goes to show that AI is no panacea. It doesn't help if you don't know what you're doing.

Look, just because the US government looks like Nazis, quotes Nazis, endorses Nazis, and acts like Nazis, doesn’t mean they’re Nazis *holds hand to earpiece* I’m being told it does in fact mean they’re Nazis

Any Democratic votes to fund DHS later this month as Minneapolis is being terrorized by DHS is going to be a major slap in the face to Americans living here. Demand major reforms or shut the government down.

If they’re comfortable lying in the face of clear video and witnesses, think about what they do where there’s neither.

A decade ago, when Trump one the first time, I and other Black writers tried to make us see that racism — both explicit and deeply seeded — was at the root of Trump’s rise. We were dismissed even as late as last year as people attributed economic anxieties to Trump’s wins. DO YOU BELIEVE US NOW?

Congratulations to all the bankers, hedge-fund managers, private-equity honchos, tech titans, corporate executives and op-ed writers for backing the man who will do more to undermine the system that made them insanely wealthy than any other presidential candidate in their lifetimes.

Yes, but then oil executives would have to make do with only 3 houses rather than 6, and many will be forced to sell their yachts.

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

Trump is destroying America from the inside as per Putin orders.

When Renee Good said "I'm not mad at you" what the ICE goon heard was "I'm not scared of you." That's what enraged him. The populace wasn't fully terrorized and cowed into submission yet, so he acted to make that happen.

This.

Never let a single goddamned person on the Right ever claim again that they’re the party of law and order without laughing in their lying face.

The American people electing Trump after he staged a coup attempt 5 years ago was a nail in the coffin of our democracy. You can rationalize it all you want - But inflation! But wokeness! - but ultimately it was a societal suicide attempt and probably the dumbest collective voting decision ever made

On the fifth anniversary of the insurrection, I can only say that its profoundly sad that convicted seditionists face no consequences and that Trump was ever allowed to hold office again. Jan. 6 was one of the most shameful days in our history, only the whitewashing is sadder. Its pathetic frankly.

I will never understand, not for as long as I live, how January 6th, 2021 wasn’t the end of Donald Trump’s political career.

The Epstein Files Transparency Act is a law, passed by Congress on November 19 with an overwhelming vote. Complying with it was not optional. The Department of Justice did not comply. I want to make sure this is very clear.

The last nine years have been Democrats saying “Have you no shame” and Republicans laughing while saying “Nope”

For all that the media has spent years freaking out about what social media does to our brains, I don’t understand why there appears to be little effort to grapple with the fact that these chatbots are, for some not insignificant portion of the population, literally psychosis machines

On January 6, 2021, Donald Trump got away with the biggest crime in American history. And was rewarded for it.

Yep, Brian May is very much still with us. Also Kirk is roasting in the depths of hell.

Oh my goodness, this Wall Street Journal piece about Trump's ailing health that includes an interview with him (gift link). There are a number of ridiculous details in it and I'll put a few of them in this thread. (1/6)

If you got $1 million, you can pretty much commit any crime you want and Trump will pardon you. I would recommend Pam Bondi’s brother for representation. He seems to get the best results, for some reason.

Republicans motivate their core voters to show up every cycle and they do. Democrats just assume their equivalent will do the same and spend the entire cycle pursuing swing voters, meanwhile depressing core turnout. Then they blame those core voters when they lose. The cycle must be broken.

I never want to hear another Republican lecture anyone about law and order, family values, or morality. The party of Traitor Trump never gets to tell us anything about these things ever again. 🖕
