People compare the United States' fascism today to Germany's fascism in the 1930s, but it's actually far more shameless and stupid.

NEW: Federal judge dismisses Drake's defamation case against Kendrick Lamar storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

The issue in this case is whether "Not Like Us" can reasonably be understood to convey as a factual matter that Drake is a pedophile or that he has engaged in sexual relations with minors. In light of the overall context in which the statements in the Recording were made, the Court holds that it cannot.

Trump: "I also did a cognitive exam. Which is always very risky because if I didn't do well, you'd be the first to be blaring it and I had a perfect score. And one of the doctors said he's almost never seen a perfect score. I had a perfect score. That made me well good ... not the easiest test."

VARNEY: There's virtually universal agreement on this program that the president should get the Nobel Peace Prize. After all, if Obama can get one for doing very little, surely President Trump can get one for bringing peace.

JONI ERNST: Exactly. President Trump is the president of peace.

most notable about posobiec is not pizzagate but that he started out as a dimestore gamergate-style antisemitic troll "GoTfan"

he exemplifies how fascism elevates total nobodies, gives once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for pathetic losers to rise through party ranks to become movers of history

Jack Posobiec explicitly says that "Antifa" dates back to the Weimar Republic, explicitly acknowledging that this administration is opposed to those who resisted the arrival of Adolf Hitler in Power.

But that is precisely the situation right now according to SCOTUS itself. They are constantly deciding major issues via the shadow docket, without any reasoning or final order, to ensure those rulings are *not* legally binding and can be reversed whenever they feel like it. That is illegitimate.

Lisa Cook is still the standout for me. Firing her requires rewriting the relationship between Congress, the President, and the Courts, but it won't have a meaningful impact on policy, she's not particularly hawkish on FOMC. All that effort *solely* because she's a Black woman.
