Awhile back everything seemed like that movie Idiocracy, but since the election it feels more like Animal Farm. The pigs are going to be moving into the house in January.
“Somehow it seemed as though the farm had grown richer without making the animals themselves any richer — except, of course, for the pigs and the dogs.”
Trump is mulling on Tuberville having a powerful position in his cabinet
“Tuberville has also refused to acknowledge that white nationalists are indeed racist, stating that the definition of white nationalism is a matter of personal opinion. His co-workers said he wasn’t racist, just very stupid. ‘I do not believe that Tommy Tuberville is a racist at all,’ an anonymous senator said. ‘I really believe that maybe he doesn’t have an understanding of the English language.’”

@Liberty4all @feloneouscat Some Christians never accepted this idea. This is especially true after SCOTUS ruled in the 1960s that religious instruction in public schools is unconstitutional. That fueled the notion that Christians and Christianity were under attack. Trump offers them a chance to regain and expand the power they once held in this country, so they back him, despite his numerous flaws.
If you want to blame anyone, blame the press.
The press is important. It changes minds. It is so powerful, the Framers of the Constitution called it the Fourth Estate. It is mentioned SEPARATELY as a fundamental right.
This idea that it is impotent is hilariously wrong.
It is just fucking stupid.
When you have a press SANEWASHING you have a complicit press pushing propaganda.
Well, that free software I’m writing? I may have to charge double, maybe triple due to the Trump win.
Elon Musk digs his multibillion dollar hole deeper.
“Following the US presidential election, Swifties, the name for Taylor Swift’s fans, are fleeing X for Bluesky. X’s owner, billionaire Elon Musk, was one of Donald Trump’s biggest backers, funneling over $100 million into the Trump-supporting America PAC; stumping for the candidate on the campaign trail; and boosting Trump’s messaging on X.”
Bots rage tweeting other bots.
Maybe it will go under.

“We’re going to fix everything about electric cars, and the reason is because they’re all electric,” an unnamed source close to the project said. “Yes, putting massive V8s into three million or so electric cars isn’t going to be easy, but we’ll do it for the American people. We’ll deliver strong, safe and hugely potent eight-cylinder drivetrains into even the most humdrum of EVs. We’re going to lead the greatest V8 comeback in American history.”

I'm not sure if I love these or feel 😬 about where the feet go.

Ugh. If I read one more fucking article by an idiot who doesn’t understand the economy was a heartbeat away from a Great Depression four years ago I’m going to fucking scream.
“Am I better off than I was four years ago?”
Yes.
We now have COVID vaccinations. The economy is healthy. More people are working than in 2020 (we had a recession then, did you know that? Most people don’t BECAUSE IT WAS SO FUCKING AWFUL).
Opinion without facts? This is propaganda.

One last one: when people said, “I need to know more about Harris” what they were saying is, “Trump is a horrible person, surely Harris can’t get to where she is without ALSO being a horrible person”—yes, she can.
I’ve know many successful people who just amazingly nice. Both men and women. They are few and far between but they do exist.
Harris is the real deal. She got where she is through hard work. Trump got to where he is through rape, racism and $400 million from his dad.
SCOTUS : It makes the president immune from prosecution for actions where he's obviously exercising his official role. He is not immune for acts unrelated to his role.
The President is charged with protecting this country from enemies foreign and domestic.
Seal team six is under the President’s command.
