Nah, he knows. It's about drawing outrage because that's the only thing that wins them credit any more with their base.

Why start then?

As long as Americans are loyal to Israel, he's doing his job according to him... So I guess even he thinks he's a failure.

There's a few regimes baked in there because his advisors have separate and sometimes conflicting orders, which is very representative of how Trump runs his cabinet. The christofascist wing is JD Vance's side. Not to be confused with the Nazi wing of Miller, Homan, and RFK, the KGB wing of Gabbard, the Cici "believe not, your lying eyes" wings of Bondi, Patel, and Bongino. Ultimately, they were all sent out to do their own signature style of damage to America, and Trump and the other billionaires are hoping to get first dibs on the scraps. Given that there's a dip before each announcement, I'd say it's all functioning as intended still, he just doesn't like other people being aware of what he's getting away with.

There are very different war veteran experiences out there and very different ways of coping with them.

I feel like it was a fair reading of what you said.

He does, but only if a person chosen at random is also in the group chat, along with his whole family.

Be careful chasing the acidity of energy drinks. Full throttle is around 2 pH, not so good for your teeth or stomach health.

Shout out to all of the people who sold their plasma to make ends meet so it could be upcharged to dickhead billionaires trying to be immortal.

TPM chip relies on it for security. If you're not using that it would work but you'd still have network issues.

Shouldn't Trump be thanking Comey for going outside procedure right before an election just to say, "Clinton sure is sus" for no reason?

Not sure why you're being downvoted. I'll try and do a better response later when I have some time.

In an ideal world we could replace SCOTUS members who, for example, lied under oath to congress. That would allow a lot of problems that seem impossible to solve to be pretty easily solved. I think the US is an example of a cascading system of measures to make it hard to undo the rot. For example: We need better rulings on cops, so we need a better supreme court, so we need to pack the court or get rid of the fascists on it, so we need a majority progressive congress, so we need campaign finance reform, so we need more people to vote, so we need laws against electioneering... I mean there are things that could be done that ate lynch pins for huge progress, but the system is certainly stacked against us. Not a reason to give up, but it explains a lot of the nihilism generally in our culture.

 

Glad they're taking off the gloves a little, but it's always been a non-option to just make our lives significantly and irrevocably better like M4A or the PRO act and although they're good at trying and failing, they never talk about the consequences as dire as they actually are with few exceptions.

 

My favorite book is a little known one called "Black Holes and Timewarps: Einstein's Outrageous Legacy" and I reference it so much that I would really like a copy that's fully mine and searchable, but I also care about the author receiving compensation for the purchase. Where do you get your PDF copies from?

 
 
 

Occasionally, on my daily walks, I see squirrels who aren't scared of humans and can catch detailed photos of them with only a smartphone. This one popped up from a dumpster to the ledge and seemed much more interested in eating than running.

 

This article is likely to become more and more relevant, but I wanted to highlight many of these heroes for a central theme, which is that not a single one of these people said, "I will not comply" to make themselves a target. They kept their power and used it to save thousands, or they forged documents or narratives through a normal process without drawing unnecessary attention to themselves.
