Es gibt eine neue Art von Desinformation und Propaganda: koordinierte Kampagnen gegen Stars wie Taylor Swift, um ihnen politische Haltungen anzuhängen, die sie nicht haben.
Auch so hält man Content am Laufen und verschiebt das popkulturelle Overton-Video.

So just to be clear here...
No one has recently mentioned the Kirk killer or the two "fake" attempts in 2024.
Like we talk about Lincoln's assassination and the killer every year, but somehow nothing about the recent acts.

what's interesting is that the leopards on display on the r/leopardsatemyface subreddit still display the same sort of cognitive disconnects and bargaining and lack of accountability they did at the beginning of the year, its just that there are so many more of them.

The entire GOP is a *white supremacist organization.*
Their end goal is to erase non-white people from American life.

Donald Trump floated a 100% tariff on imported movies after spending the weekend with Jon Voight and his manager at Mar-a-Lago.
The tariffs are unlikely to bring production back to the US and risk retaliation, which would be devastating for Hollywood.

It doesn't matter how corrupt they are.
Without a trifecta & 67 Senate seats, there isn't a chance in hell that any justice will be convicted if they're impeached, especially if doing so will allow the Democrats to remove a GOP-appointed justice & replace them with a liberal.
Voters blew it in 2016.

Nothing will disrupt their power or prevent them from ruling how the GOP wants in every single case they hear & the only way we'll ever have a normal SCOTUS in our lifetimes is if at least 4 seats are added by a Democratic POTUS.

There’s nothing that can be done about the SCOTUS unless Democrats win a trifecta with a Senate supermajority willing to expand the court, but even if they flip ME, WI, PA & both seats in NC without losing any seats in MI, WI, AZ, NV, PA, GA & NH, they’ll only have a 52-48 majority.
