Weird that pretty much the entire American press corps missed that scene in Almost Famous when Lester Bangs/PS Hoffman tells protagonist: “Never forget: You are not their friend.”

Same problem with your last lie about the Haitians eating dogs, eh?

Having admitted to lying (on top of calling Trump a fascist) why should people ever believe you? Vibes?

AI is a thinly veiled attempt to get around trust sources and poison the history stream precisely the same way they poisoned the daily news stream with a firehose of BS

These companies and their "A.i." garbage cannot be trusted to do anything but serve the bigoted biases of their billionaire owners.

Trump: "I don't think there's anything that's gonna get me in heaven. I think I'm not maybe heaven bound. I may be in heaven right now as we fly on Air Force One. I'm not sure I'm gonna be able to make heaven."

If someone ever makes a documentary about Benny Johnson, I hope they call it "Dumb and Duma." www.pbs.org/newshour/pol...

Well-known right-wing influencers duped to work for covert Russian operation, U.S. prosecutors say

The accusations mark the third straight presidential election in which U.S. authorities have unveiled politically charged details about the Kremlin's attempted interference in U.S. politics.

It’s always projection. Every prosecution is an admission.

Tweet from Angry Staffer: “Great. I’m looking forward to Ken Paxton’s indictment.”
Below is a news headline: “Report: Texas AG Ken Paxton claimed three homes as primary residence.”
A second tweet from FBI Director Kash Patel says, “There simply cannot be, and will not be, different rules for different people.”

New, from me:
Trump's 3 step plan to create a military omniforce
1. Purge - those deemed disloyal
2. Merge - different parts of law enforcement/military
3. Surge - impose the omniforce on Dem cities; instigate unrest; assert dominance; silence dissent

Purge, Merge, and Surge

Trump is creating a omniforce of armed loyalists to establish his police state
