Good. Patriotism leads to nationalism, xenophobia, and racism.

Not really. Musk was a snake oil salesman for years. The people who believed in him were foolish to do so, all of that long before his salute and his budget concerns. We should also remember that fascists don’t have a long game. They really are as ridiculous as they appear. There was no possibility for Trump or Musk to maintain a positive image, except through brute force threats.

It was always a pipe dream, my friend. If you stop smoking, you might see reality… In other words, your only mistake was sobriety.

Look, if we’re serious about having transparency and accountability in law enforcement, it’s going to take a lot of work. The starting point would be to require these officers to have their names in large text on the front and back of their shirts, like professional athletes do. They need to be named openly all the time, not just when they’re arresting someone, not just in tiny text on a badge that you can’t even see when you’re 6 ft away.

And most importantly, they need to be locked up or massively fined when they violate their own policy or people’s civil rights. When cops are not accountable for their actions, of course they’re going to behave like rat bastards.

Not exactly made up. Slavery is a real thing.

Update: Over 400,000 people have already died from the termination of USAid money, most of those from food bank programs ending.

You’re straw manning. Please don’t.

Recognizing that violence has in fact “been the answer” to various circumstances in the past, and will be in the future, is different from saying everyone should pick up a gun today.

Violence is never the answer … if you ignore all of human history, yes. Sadly, it often has been, though.

I think he’s trying to bait people into threatening his life, so that he can send people out to their houses and arrest them. What he doesn’t realize is that most people are smarter than that, and they won’t talk, they will simply act as necessary in order to defend themselves.

I’m not sure this is any more humiliating than the original tantrum was, but because neither of them believes a word of anything they say anyway, nobody really cared. When you live your life in a narcissistic bubble, you never had friends and you never will have any, and no apologies you make or accept have any meaning.

To be clear, the DNC is fighting against its constituents. This is Washington politicians and funders vs. the people. Sad to say, Washington is winning.

As Trump has shown us quite clearly, it doesn’t really matter what the Supreme Court says.

Yeah the whole warning reads like bullshit. We already know that Trump supporters, and probably people inside the FBI, will join in protests and commit acts of violence. This is an old tactic, it’s been around for decades, and it will always be used whenever people are having large political gatherings. You cannot avoid it.

So what’s the alternative? Not ever protest? That’s a stupid idea. And the author knows it stupid, which is why they didn’t say it, and they just ignored the entire topic. Which means they are trying to manipulate people and we should ignore them because they are untrustworthy.

It was always so. But now we can see it more clearly.

And some of the effects are much worse now than in the past.

I don’t think he’s going to run to Russia. The moment he does, he all of his US companies will be seized. So if he wants to go, he’s going to need to find a way to very quickly liquidate everything without the federal government noticing. But you can be sure that the spy agencies are watching him. He’s already too powerful for comfort, and it’s their job to spy on people like him.

Remember, Trump wanted this. Don’t blame Elon Musk when you should be blaming all of them together, and especially the president who had control.

Remember that they are both lying even now about almost everything. Narcissists don’t believe in some underlying reality, because they make up reality every second of their lives, so the fact that they’re feuding now doesn’t mean they actually had some kind of permanent fallout. You could say that they are acting at this exact moment just to deflect attention away from Trump and his big beautiful bill, but it doesn’t really matter because they’re narcissists, and everything they do is an act.

So, you shouldn’t cheer for either of them because they certainly are not genuine about anything and they definitely will never be on your side, ever.

That’s true but we know he’s lying and even though they say Musk is totally gone, Don’t believe it so quickly. He’s too rich, too powerful, and they want his money too much.

We know that they want to distance themselves from him in the newspapers, but we don’t know anything else.

He’s lying and everyone knows it. There’s no chance of them deporting Musk. They want to get a lot of money from a lot of billionaires and if they go in attack mode on those large-scale donors, no one is going to throw money at them anymore.
