Damn, he must think he’s pretty clearly entrenched and in the clear for full throttle fascism if he’s already blatantly turning on some of his core supporters and charismatic rescue fauna.
But, he’s also the only president I’ve ever heard of who forced members of the military to face paycheck uncertainty (US Coast Guard, Government shutdown of 2018-19). And yet plenty of those guys and gals STILL supported him during and after 🙄
Schrödinger’s Cat: Unboxed and ready to purr.
Mmmmm, barium bromide.
The hypocrisy is unreal. I have been successfully holding onto my final shred of hope in the goodness of humankind, but this tips the scale. I give up. Now I only have despair in the badness of humunkind. Now if you’ll excuse me, I’m going to drown my sorrow by bingeing on Napster, Scour, BitTorrent, newsgroups, and Gnutella.
Maybe there’s a discount if they sign a loyalty oath or barter with the scalps of ‘dangerous unhinged Marxist lefstists’?
Tom Cotton, ® cowardly shitbird from Arkansas, supporter of military-led crackdowns of domestic turmoil, approves this meme without reservation.
Unapologetic enshittification is how the second quarter of this century will begrudgingly be remembered.
I’ve seen Rapture. Would not recommend.
As an aside, why can’t any of his stupid I-fucking-hate-this-future ideas be something that’s actually kinda cool, if not also just as dangerous? Like a space elevator or a hole to access a near-infinite supply of magma to generate power, or dropping a nuke into the eye of a hurric- wait, scratch that last one. He already suggested it, but, like always, failed to follow through.
Chicken shit on chicken meat definitely does add some zing to the flavor profile. Maybe the USDA is just feeling out its more epicurian tendencies?
Turns out, that without law or rules, people really turn into animals.
Ironically, some top-ranking Nazi lawyers struggled with that concept a little bit in formulating their Final Solution to the Jewish Question.
Huh, wait but why wasn’t it okay for the Navy chiefs on the LCS Manchester to do the same thing?
with funds to honor a slain [police] officer.
Wonder how the boys in blue feel about that.
Sounds like a ticking time bomb 😬
COUGH-Applebee’s-COUGH
I feel like eclipsing the rule of law by declaring martial law will just beget more violence. But I guess they want that, too, as the apocalypse accelerationists they are. Boy will they be embarrassed when everyone’s either dead, dying, or covered in blood and the rapture still doesn’t happen.
Someday in the medium-far future, after all the nurembergish trials and hangalangs feel like a distant memory, some producer and streaming service will reboot the West Wing, only it’ll be the Trump West Wing and those future people will get to watch the unbridled escapades and think that’s kinda just the normal way politics happened for us primitive morons.
Ha! Who am I kidding? Rampant accelerated climate change will ensure nothing of the sort ever happens. “Future people,” what a concept!
So I’ve been scratching my head so long as I ponder how an unofficial digital currency officially named after and endorsed by the sitting president, an elected official officially bound to ethical legal standards, is somehow a thing that’s still happening out in the open, unchallenged, that I’ve finally reached the arachnoid mater and am on the cusp of accessing my grey matter within the month.
Maybe you’ll even get a chance to help hold hogs accountable for their actions!
