Nothing would solve my loneliness like having 12 friends I made up

Nothing is more annoying that fellow liberals who want to disregard the suffering of others. You don’t have to become your enemy to beat them - yet this type of response exists.
They voted for a president who is literally dismantling fema in order to force them to kiss ass ever harder to get help.
Another home swept away in Frankfort, Kentucky.

16 dead in storms across multiple states.

Arkansas, Texas, Missouri & Oklahoma all hit. Mississippi, Tennessee & Kentucky have declared states of emergency.

No word from Trump. But wait for an update on his golf round later…

my takeaway from reading this is that i have to assume that every half-competent intelligence agency in the world has an almost real-time glimpse into what the white house and the pentagon are doing

Caught up on Beyond the Gates. Haven’t watched a daytime soap since All My Children ended. Felt fun to be back in - and starting from brand new territory.

Great job of introducing characters, setting up storylines, and teasing future events.

not to downplay the ugliness of this but this is the equivalent of busywork. they are giving him executive orders to sign so that it feels like he’s doing something.

He ran on almost all of this (except for the dumb renaming of the Gulf). What the f*** did they think he would do?
A new @reuters.com poll finds Americans have a dim view of many of the Trump administration's blizzard of executive actions, including the Jan. 6 pardons and his effort to limit birthright citizenship.

But they *really* don't like the Gulf of America thing.

Put midlife malaise with the current state of the world / I see no positives right now. And I won’t agree to the concept that giving up isn’t an option. I just don’t think I care anymore. This world sucks and it will for the remainder of my life. But it’s all I have…

Rogan interview with Zuckerberg that dropped this morning is something to behold. basically him dumping years of anger at the media, the government, social discussion

clearly all pent up for years and now allowing himself to do it because of Trump coming to power

The Right’s political project starts from the premise that some groups are worthy of protection and privilege - while others are dangerous and need to be kept in check. “Law and order” is a promise (and a threat) to mobilize the coercive powers of the state to control insubordinate groups.

As much as I like the idea of "moderation", Sammon is right:

No one agrees with the Right - but they like the anger and pushiness.
