He's also a nut. He embraces that same Russian-American fascist aesthetic that MAGAs embrace. Reality hyper-stylized so it looks internetty. The way they present themselves mimics their relationship to reality: They want to twist it into something none of us can quite recognize anymore.

No worries. The kids seem fine. Just ask Ramaswamy as he meets some of Charlie Kirk's teen disciples.
Such open minded, calm young folks.

What's so bad about that?
The corporations will own the farms and the former owners can just work the farm, and share the crops.
It's sharing!
Sharing crops.

As the planet cooks there will be millions of acres of previously fertile land that goes barren every year.
JD will sell cheap American farmland to those countries. Any wound inflicted on American agriculture is good for his business, AcreTrader.

JD Vance funded AcreTrader. Here’s why that matters.

The real estate platform streamlines investing in US farmland. Now farms are fast becoming a portfolio staple for investors worldwide.

JD Vance's side-hustle "AcreTrader" is licking its chops. They're going to make bank hooking up foreign investors with some sweet foreclosed American farmland.
This is not a big it's a feature.

Many Germans were kept ignorant.
Many Americans know exactly what's happening and they're excited by it.

I suspect we will be the better lesson for kids 100 years from now. How the world's most enduring democracy finally paid for its original sin by falling into autocracy.

It's worse when people try to run a country as if everyone else must genuflect to their stupid fucking deity.

Am I a bad person?

I can't think of a bigger threat to MAGA than a happy PNW woman wielding a loaded ukulele.
Those machines kill fascists.

This is Adelita Grijalva.

She was elected to Congress two weeks ago, officially making her the final vote needed to force the release of the Epstein files.

She has still not been sworn in because Mike Johnson refuses to do so.

The United States has become a nation of cowards. To think we once saved the world from fascism. Now we accept this as normal.

The algorithmic hyper-rage and funhouse mirror aesthetic of our screen worlds has escaped and is now twisting reality in its image. It's going to take a real disaster -- natural or of our own making -- to wake up humanity.

But it might be too late.

Could you share a source for that? I'd love to read it. I'm assuming it's a case ruling?

We should have launched a shadow government a year ago. All the experts are unemployed anyway. They can still serve their country.
