The corruption is absolutely staggering. One big money donor after another receiving direct benefits in return. Trump didn’t drain any swamps, he created a giant sewer to roll around in daily. Great reporting. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

MAGA Boomer: At your age in 1970 I paid off college & bought a house w/hard work
Millennials: In 1970 college was 5% of median salary—Now it’s 44%. A median home was $24K—Now its $417K. The top marginal tax rate was 70%—Now its 37%. Sure maybe you did work hard—but then closed the door behind you.

Incompetence and evil in a single authoritarian regime.
Here's a better view of the now-deleted photo showing Trump with Epstein and Trump with a group of young girls.
The photo was originally posted as item EFTA00000468 but was later deleted. Now the 'official' list simply jumps from EFTA00000467 to EFTA00000469.

It is utterly catastrophic that RFK Jr. plans to end CDC recommendations for most childhood vaccines.
It’s a betrayal of science, ethics, compassion, and the people of the United States.
And it was also a specific goal of Project 2025 (page 254).

U.S. plans to stop recommending most childhood vaccines, defer to doctors
The plan, which is not finalized, suggests children get fewer shots and shifts to a model telling parents to consult doctors to make their own vaccine choices.

It's best to understand that fascists see hypocrisy as a virtue. It's how they signal that the things they are doing to people were never meant to be equally applied.
It's not an inconsistency. It's very consistent to the only true fascist value, which is domination.
