And darker… As Carl Sagan said (prophetically) in his often-quoted book ‘The Demon-Haunted World’.

Exactly! The bus driver is drunk and we are all seated in the back but the passengers in the front are blocking us from stopping the driver. They believe it’s best to drive drunk.

Yes it is and that's because it turns out the majority of people are far more gullible than it seemed possible. And a whole bunch of evil people are taking advantage of that more than ever.

Community Note strikes again!

We are dealing with such corruption in every aspect of our government, I don't know how we undo the damage.

Because they're being bribed big time?

Daniel Day Lewis came out of Instagram retirement to show support for Paul Dano. King shit.

i do think it's funny that all of hollywood is posting about paul dano like it's the time the notre dame caught fire

I love that none of us have probably thought about Paul Dano for years but the minute Tarantino opened his dumb mouth the whole world arose like vampires from a coffin to collectively say, hey fuck you

We've all heard the adage 'keep your enemies closer' but why keep the Americans in NATO and the UN? They're clearly working for an aggressive dictatorship and moving to become one themselves, they won't help us, they are traitors. It's like allowing Karla's mole to control the Circus. Or Philby MI6.

We are officially the "ugly" Americans. The country had been regarded as such, by "foreigners, but we were never perceived as cruel as this regimes' characters and supporters.

Trump and his disciples believe he is the law. No prior laws matter and if he’s directed otherwise by the courts he simply appeals to SCOTUS which is packed with loyal sycophants.

When the tech bros and billionaires got together and decided democracy is standing in the way of progress, the laws of the United States were precisely the problem. I don't think y'all understand it is WILLFUL, INTENTIONAL MALICE .

🙃

😆

Pathetically incompetent, hair-flipping attorney Alina Habba didn't resign. She was kicked to the curb by a judge who was OVER her appalling lack of qualifications.

me dressed up and exercising at the airport before my 8 hour flight

Hilarious… how the trumpers constantly bitch about cancel-culture… while their dear leader CANCELS AMERICA. Or did they “suicide” the country? I can’t tell anymore.

This is when I knew Xi was going to take this babbling fool to the cleaners, and us in the process. The Golden Age of Dipshittery.

Yep. Anyone, anywhere in the world who already held the USA with the contempt it deserved over the past few years, has had their prejudices confirmed and hatred justified, by the actions of the Trump regime. The USA is now, officially a belligerent to the collective west, an ally of authoritarians

"We should have the House right now... This ain’t just a Texas problem, it’s a national problem. They’re stealing seats to keep power, and that’s how we ended up with Speaker Johnson instead of Speaker Jeffries. They can’t win fair, so they cheat." Rep. Jasmine Crockett

it’s pretty funny that Duffy is simultaneously 1. scolding passengers for not wearing fancy clothes while flying 2. supporting airport gyms so passengers can be sweaty and gross while flying both of these proposals are idiotic but the direct contradiction is next level

The United States gives far too much power, money, and influence to silly people with heads full of nonsense.

It is newsworthy that the president of the United States is increasingly verbally abusive of women reporters and he should be asked about it.

Holiday Tip #399:

Welcome to the new USAR.

Bro same, honestly. We could probably just do the onion headline repeat. “SCOTUS makes worst decision (so far).”

The destruction of so much good in the world being carried out by some of the most tedious and aggressively mediocre people on the planet like IDK what to say to that, there's just no words some days.

every time I see 'SCOTUS' these days my entire muscular structure feels like it's trying to eject itself from my body can we please just go one fucking month w/o this bargain bin villain shit jfc

SCOTUS corruption is how we got here.

Given that the Supreme Court likes pretending that the Congress does not exist, I think the Congress should act to remind it that not only does the Congress exist but that SCOTUS is its inferior.

The Supreme Court is working hard to turn this country into a despot's dreamscape—while making it nigh impossible for good people to make lasting change for the better. Those of us who begged folks (and national media) to put SCOTUS before everything else in 2016 are in an endless Cassandrian hell.

Trump is aligning the USA with Russia, against Europe, just for his personal benefit. That’s not how alliances work.

No shit.

If we won’t adhere to our own laws, or any international laws, why would anyone else? Their brazen lawless actions will have a ripple effect and it will endanger Americans everywhere.

Incredibly galling to hear Sauer talk about how the president is accountable to the public through elections, when the president he's referring to is one who attempted to illegally overturn an election he lost

LOL

WELL?

Trump says Lisa Cook is unfit to be a Fed governor because she claimed two different properties as her primary residence on her mortgage applications. (Cook denies this.) Trump did the exact same thing on mortgage applications submitted a mere 7 weeks apart. www.propublica.org/article/trum...

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed. Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it. When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

The GOP enacted civil service reform. The GOP will destroy civil service reform. The GOP is NOT the same party that it was. Keep this in mind when they claim Lincoln as their own

BREAKING: Bernie Sanders just now:

We're utterly fucked if the true democracies of the world don't unite, seriously unite, to stand up to the enemy which is the Russia/United States Pact.

THIS! A ZILLION TIMES THIS! 👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇👇

EVERY western leader HAS to start taking the American/Russian threat seriously. There's absolutely no point in not recognising that they are working together. Our ONLY hope is to bring Ukraine into NATO and hope the traitorous US leaves. All true democracies must join together militarily. No choice.

I’m surprised more people aren’t talking about Don Jr receiving a massive loan for his startup from the Pentagon. I guess when there’s so much corruption some things fly under the radar?

When Russia praises the new US security strategy, you get the idea of the magnitude of the shift that has taken place.
