while 'young republicans are literal nazis' is well known to folks here, the extent of it is surprisingly not that commonly known even in media and analyst circles, let alone normal people.

POLITICO: “.. They referred to Black people as monkeys and ‘the watermelon people’ and mused about putting their political opponents in gas chambers. They talked about raping their enemies .. and lauded Republicans who they believed support slavery.

Imagine being a lame ICE person thinking you will be in the inner circle for your meanness to minorities. Authoritarians do not have a big circle. Those outside the inner circle are just useful idiots.

Half of America’s Voting Machines Now Owned by a MAGA Oligarch

They told us elections were rigged. Then they cloned stolen voting software. Then they bought the voting machines.

If the Dem leadership plan was to let MAGA self-implode it would have been a fine one. But I know Repubs are just being paid too much by the wrong people.

Trump is using the same economic policies as Argentina..Argentina implemented there failed policies two years ago. So Trump needs to prop Argentina...but the sad thing is Trump is taking ua all down the same path. You all are now seeing the results..

The special ed part of the DoE being wiped out feels especially cruel, even for a cruel regime. It fits with the eugenicists that inhabit the regime, though. Trump himself particularly hates the sight of disabled people, because of course he does, being the hateful, superficial asshole he is.

The Portland Frog army has now infiltrated Tulsa, OK and they’ve made an unlikely alliance with the T-Rex infantry and Sharks on Hoverboards mercenary forces.

This is truly terrifying.

There needs to be a complete audit of Kristi Noem and Tom Homan's finances, anyone who can look her puppy in the face and shoot it, then brag about if will do anything. The cruelty of the Trump regime is beyond horrible.

the sheriff kept the mother waiting for an hour and a half because they were busy putting her son on the plane. Once they were cleared for takeoff, that's when the sheriff came to tell the mother it was too late.
