Remember when Lee Harvey Oswald defected to russia? And then changed his mind? I forget what happened after that.

Yep. Mmm hmmm.

Outright fascist.

Propaganda works. Period.

This is a forty year old tactic at least, too. It’s not like we don’t know they do this.

How is it a forty year old tactic that still gets implemented? Because the corporate news media literally cannot say that. Maybe in an “opinion” column by a well known lefty or some weak ass shit like that. But report? A front page news? On GOP screwing up the college vote again? Noooooooooo.

Especially not the Trump-enabling WaPo. No, these are “new” voter laws, not an old-as-dirt cheating tactic the GOP has been using since at least Reagan. Fuck you, WaPo. Democracy dies when you do what you do.

Forgot the quote marks around “friends”.

Srs wtf If you want to live in russia, do that but everyone’s going to be part of one or more mafias, that’s how they do.

Got him confused with the NY AG from a few years ago. Not him.

After working at a corporate law firm, Vance moved to San Francisco to work in the tech industry. He served as a principal at Peter Thiel’s venture capital firm, Mithril Capital.[21]

In 2016, Harper published Vance’s book, Hillbilly Elegy: A Memoir of a Family and Culture in Crisis. It was on The New York Times Best Seller list in 2016 and 2017. It was a finalist for the 2017 Dayton Literary Peace Prize[22] and winner of the 2017 Audie Award for Nonfiction. The New York Times called it “one of the six best books to help understand Trump’s win”.[3] The Washington Post called him the “voice of the Rust Belt”,[2] while The New Republic criticized him as “liberal media’s favorite white trash–splainer” and the “false prophet of blue America.”[23] Economist William Easterly, a West Virginia native, criticized the book, writing, “Sloppy analysis of collections of people—coastal elites, flyover America, Muslims, immigrants, people without college degrees, you name it—has become routine. And it’s killing our politics.”[24]

So bad home life, goes to Yale Law, works with noted shitbag Peter Thiel and is now doing evil out loud and proud. Great.

Put “republican” hired to shoot “Democrat” in the headline

By deliberately de-emphasizing the crimes of republicans they are thereby absolved and emboldened.

BBC knows better but doesn’t do the right thing. Why? Why indeed.

Article: The changes come as Republican lawmakers step up efforts to punish businesses that consider climate change and the environment in their operations.

TL;DR: RepubliQans fucking everything up to destroy the planet, yet again

Comments: Dang Bank of America! oooo that bank! banks, right?! Let’s all make sure not to vote for the current Democrat

But Jesus’ light skin and blues eyes suggest that he is not Middle Eastern but European-born. And the faux-Hebrew script embroidered on Mary’s cuffs and hemline belie a complicated relationship to the Judaism of the Holy Family.

In Mantegna’s Italy, anti-Semitic myths were already prevalent among the majority Christian population, with Jewish people often segregated to their own quarters of major cities.

Oh yeah

Jordan Strauss, a former federal prosecutor and former national security official in the Justice Department, called the FBI’s alleged failure to search the closet “a bit astonishing.”

“You’re searching a former president’s house. You [should] get it right the first time,” Strauss told ABC News.

The FBI fucked up so royally during Trumps junta on every single issue, I wonder if they’re not just floor-to-ceiling republiQans but droolingly incompetent.

Still running on Jim Crow laws eh. Wow. Mind, uh, blown or whatever.

Maybe we can force all the judges and state reps to live in cancer alley?

Member that time when Microsoft got dragged in federal court for ten years before they eventually decided Microsoft was a monopoly for forcing their browser on everyone and then sweet fuck all happened to them for it?

Well the judiciary sure has changed - now they’re way more computer savvy and they . . . checks earpice . . . I’m sorry, that should be: they’re just as fucking clueless as they were thirty years ago if not even more so. We’re screwed, goodnight.

[Dionne] Warwick was the first to respond on X, denying she was going and calling the PAC’s announcement “absolutely ridiculous.”

Soon afterward, Martin Sheen, who played the president on the TV series “The West Wing,” took to Instagram.

“I do not endorse RFK Jr. nor will I be attending his party,” Sheen said. He added that he’s “whole heartedly supporting Joe Biden and the Democratic ticket in 2024.”

Cripes so they just said a bunch of people who definitely weren’t coming were coming and now that they’re not we’re taking our ball and going home? Classy.

vile! AAAAHHHHHHh dead

We’re in the golden era of batshit incompetent fascism.

Could be worse.

Ehrlichman: “Edgar Kaiser is running his Permanente deal for profit. And the reason that he can … the reason he can do it … I had Edgar Kaiser come in … talk to me about this and I went into it in some depth. All the incentives are toward less medical care, because …”

President Nixon: [Unclear.]

Ehrlichman: “… the less care they give them, the more money they make.”

President Nixon: “Fine.” [Unclear.]

You mean how can some people barely survive while others have millions or even, wtf, billions? NBCnews? That’s your question?

Boy that’s a question right there NBCnews. Yessir a real head-scratcher. Hmm! Boy howdy, the mind reels at what could be the cause of such a huge imbalance in our society. I suppose we’ll just never FUCKING KNOW.
