He is describing a dictatorship. One key difference between the US and Hungary has to do with that first bunch of Constitutional amendments.

I don't understand how people aren't in the streets about DOGE's access to OPM. Can no one see what's happening? Why haven't more people in Congress expressed outrage? How can DOGE have access to CONTROLLED PII? WHERE IS THE VETTING. Musk IS A FOREIGN NATIONAL with access TO GOVERNMENT MONEY now!

Red Dawn III - Canada and Mexico invade America due to lack of any leadership in the US. This time even the wolverines are like “fuck this, we deserve it.”

WELCOME TO BLACK HISTORY MONTH

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world. Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

Ronald Reagan won the 1980 election against Jimmy Carter in part because he got Iran to agree not to release the Americans it was holding hostage until Reagan could take credit for their release. He was willing to risk their lives to win. When Republicans say "America first," they mean "me first."

Paying respects to President Jimmy Carter? “Official Schedule for State Funeral” - All the info: www.popville.com/2024/12/payi...

Few Thrillers work as well as The Order works. Precise, assured and merciless- no frills, great ‘70’s style and strong as hell. Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult are utterly pitch perfect and a perfect match. Kurzel has always been a director I admire- This is him as his storytelling best.

Rest in peace to Submariner LT James Earl Carter Jr, USN (Ret). Carter, the only U.S. President to graduate from the U.S. Naval Academy, leaves a legacy of service. The USS Jimmy Carter (SSN-23), a Seawolf-class fast-attack submarine, carries his name in honor of his dedication to our nation.

President Jimmy Carter has passed away at the age of 100. He was a symbol of what is best about America: kindness, compassion, duty and service. He will be missed, most of all by those who long for a return of that kind of country, led by a man with such strength of character.

The slimmest majority of the stupidest people in this country handed the Oval Office to an unrepentant sexual predator, adjudicated rapist, and he tried to put a sick fuck who had been paying teenagers for sex in charge of our Department of Justice.

Oh-so-devout Mike Johnson tried to block the ethics committee report from being released. Why? Because he didn’t want the American people to know that Matt Gaetz was doing drugs while WORKING and paying high schoolers for sex. “Christian” Mike Johnson didn’t want anyone to know.

“One of the best things that happened to me was I stopped comparing myself to how I used to be, and comparing myself to others. Once I’d accepted the fact that this was a really unique way of playing, it freed me completely. I didn’t feel less-than. This is who I am.” t.ly/kXPhQ

This is extremely good, short (< 4 minutes), and we should force congress, mayors, and journalists covering the drone story to watch it. www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZK4H...

Texas Bans Sale Of Luggage To Pregnant Women

If I still lived in New Jersey, I’d be flying my drone every single night just to mess with the conspiracy nuts. Honestly, the more they talk about the drones, the more fun it gets. And with 10% of homes owning a drone, every cul-de-sac in America is on the verge of a neighborhood-wide alien panic.

there are a number of things in this single video that i guarantee you have never seen before

A male humpback whale set a record by swimming more than 8,000 miles from South America to Africa and traversing at least three oceans — most likely in search of a mate, researchers said.

One February night in 1959, something caused a group of skiers to cut their way out of their tent and flee into a howling blizzard, in 20-below-zero temperatures, in bare feet or socks. What was it?

To those still wondering why we lost a close election and what group Dems might have reached better, I say this: All this handwringing ignores the fact that more people voted for the convicted felon, sexual assaulter and insurrectionist. Our problems run deep. Half the voters made an INSANE choice.
