They’re all attempting to volte face while saving face, instead of admitting they were wrong and made a big mistake by supporting him.

But people on the left need to give them space to apologize. Antagonizing each other is what got us here in the first place.

Weird...I heard the little kid shouting "Yeah fuck you!" (near the end of video) while I was cutting a bunch of onions.

They have "FP" plates which in Ilinois designates a 'fleet plate' belong to an organization, government, non-profit, or commercial, that has registered more than 10 cars. Feds have Nissan Rogues (built in TN) But man, if these bozos aren't ICE and are using a company car that they have access too...

Are there good reports about how this happened in similar situations, Germany, Italy, wherever. Where the supposedly rational gatekeepers of the rule of law, just totally bend backwards and are ineffective.

The truly bizarre psychological phenomenon of all this isn’t the electric or his supporters or The man himself. It’s the choices of those who are in positions to check in balance and who sat by and did nothing. That’s where the aberration and all this happened that’s where the breakdown is.

in light of the kimmel news, just a reminder that a few days ago a prominent fox news host literally called for killing homeless people. right afterward, someone shot up a couple homeless encampments.

that fox news host still has his job.

Brian Kilmeade endorses euthanizing homeless people: "Involuntary lethal injection, or something. Just kill them."

This has been coming from the beginning. All major democracy-supporting NGOs and foundations have their legal complaints already drafted. And in time, perhaps not even much time, they will win their cases. What is needed most in the meantime is courage. Keep saying what you think, doing what you do.

So are we gonna fucking drone strike the Sackler’s or what? If that happens, I might actually be into this, because their drugs killed far more people than any Venezuelan.

Acyn @acyn.bsky.social · 25d

Reporter: The president of Venezuela called the strike on the boat illegal

Trump: What’s illegal is the fact that 300 million people died last year from drugs

It’s funny how many opponents of UBI and scream that you can’t just make up money and give it to people, but accept the fugazi fourtunes of Musk, Ellison et al, et al as “real”

I have long searched for an RFP from governments with high savings rates looking for a consultant to teach their populace how to consume. So far no luck, which is a shame because I am one of the best. Maybe I need to start cold-calling; anyone have the number for the BMF and/or METI?

“Money for Nothing” is the archetype of the perfect music video. My 9yo self didn’t stand a chance and was enthralled upon first viewing.

In an eerie coincidence, just an hour ago on Wikipedia I was surprised to see they are one of the best selling groups of all time, ~100mm records sold.
