  1. The weakness of Democratic Party leadership played a big part in getting us here. The Democratic Party doesn’t have much of a coherent agenda beyond “we will stop the Republicans from doing the bad things” and they have catastrophically failed at that agenda. The last monumental policy win was passing a watered down republican healthcare plan 15 years ago and our healthcare system is still an overpriced racket. When you repeatedly don’t deliver, voters will look elsewhere or just give up on giving a shit. I do not expect any self reflection or change in tune from the Democratic Party either. They will double down on failed neoliberalism and pandering to people they continue to screw over. Are the democrats responsible for Trump entirely? No, but they’ve repeatedly proven they are not part of the solution either. /rant
  2. https://www.ksdk.com/article/news/crime/missouri-man-immigration-officer-kidnapped-woman-demanded-citizenship-documents-trump/63-6187037a-2cdb-4cad-b11d-5cc5deabb156
  3. Yeah, I knew that and I’m sure the author did too… her choice to use it in conjunction with all the other easily foreseeable calamities is what’s remarkable.
  4. I’m currently in the sequel to that book, “Parable of the talents”… I shit you not, the presidential campaign slogan is literally, “make America great again.” Written in 2000
  5. Yes but I believe he embraces the turn… kind of like how the Nazis embraced Oswald Spengler’s “Decline of the West” in the 1930s…
  6. Our deep state must have been much better back then… kept everyone guessing. Today, these schmucks make power point presentations on how to do a coup in real time and completely embarrass themselves.
  7. I would have difficulty trusting anything someone named “JP Morgan/Chase” says.
  8. We have the wealth and power inequality of pre-WW1 but the white supremacy scapegoating of marginalized groups of pre-WW2. This should end well.
  9. Reminds me of Dorthy Thompson explaining how she knew Jews that would easily go full nazi.
  10. This topic always amuses me because there’s some inherent contradiction of expectations. Everyone kinda knows the CIA and FBI did a bunch of horrible stuff back then and covered up all kinds of things but at the same time we, the public, are expected to believe they recorded everything like good public servants and neatly classified it in a lock box to be revealed in a time capsule like unearthing 75 years in the future. It’s as if the time factor somehow makes them magically more credible.
  11. So there’s still time to burn the evidence
  12. Good thing they went indoors
  13. Mistakes were made
  14. The evolution of this tik-tok thing is a good microcosm of things going wrong. Tik-tok should have been banned eight years ago but because our laws still can’t catch up to the tech criminals it will be here to stay. We are basically living in Jurassic Park right now, just before the dinosaurs kill everyone.
  15. Some of these culty churches/pastors target college campuses, kinda like joining a frat or sorority, but worse. I know because I have a relative that is in one sadly. They claim to be nondenominational but are still like, “only our flock gets to go to heaven” ‘one true church’ doctrine. It’s gross.
  16. Great coaching by both teams this game
  17. Looking good for Texas… I assume Sark is good at clock management…
