What? No it wasn't. A bunch of people warned about exactly this, before it happened, and then AS IT WAS HAPPENING. People just… kept pretending that the dude who conned them hadn't conned them and was, in fact, a super genius, instead of taking the fucking L and holding him anything like accountable

Cruel and ghoulish Republican governors of a dozen states – Alabama, Alaska, Florida, Georgia, Iowa, Mississippi, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Texas, Utah and Wyoming – opted out of a program, leaving about 9.5 million students without food benefits in repressive summer heat.

There was no GOP party platform in 2020, and Trump wants to shrink the proposed 2024 one. He opposes providing detail on how radical his second term will be because he knows its unpopular. Make no mistake: Project 2025 was written by Trump appointees & loyalists. Its their shared agenda.

NEWS --> Mark Robinson, the MAGA extremist GOP nominee for governor in North Carolina, appeared to endorse political violence against unnamed foes in a recent speech.

"Some folks need killing!" he shouted. "It's a matter of necessity!"

The British People write the name of the person they want to be Prime Minister on a piece of paper, then David Attenborough collects all the pieces of paper and takes them to Buckingham Palace. There, the Monarch eats them all and lays an egg, which hatches into a new government.

This is a really good summary of what the Roberts Court is doing—simultaneous elevation of president and destruction of regulation. This year and last, US public law is fundamentally shifting towards a frightening new (authoritarian) regime.

FACT: Donald Trump is in Jeffrey Epstein's newly released appointment logs. FACT: Donald Trump was sued by a woman who claims she was RAPED by Trump when she was a 12-year-old Epstein captive -- but the suit was dropped, 4 DAYS before the 2016 election, because of death threats.

Classic American political dialogue is premised on the idea that we share fundamental values but disagree on how best to promote them. I haven’t believed this for a while. Other than “I prefer to be alive and not dead” and “I like pudding,” I do not share values with these people.

I've only met him during the estate sale of his parents' home on Rio Grande near 15th decades ago. I attributed his general sourness as stress, but it seemed more than that. He was yelling at folks then. I have his dad's old dental tools we still use to clean with, so I recall that encounter often.

Our old institutions are crumbling with cowardice. The courts, the media, Congress -- they fear angering Trump or appearing biased against him, in case he wins. And in doing so, they make it more likely he wins. WE MUST RISE UP -- we are the only hope left.

The States Project is one of the best bang-for-your-buck options for your campaign donations. Even beyond it, though, state legislatures deserve your attention. Next time you're tempted to send money to whoever's going to lose to MTG, send it instead to a contested state leg seat.

I swear I don't get any kick backs for reposting this but the underlying issue is the media has a bias against protest especially liberal protest. It's called the protest paradigm and its been documented for more than 40 years at this point. Link in next skeet.
