    Everything is eroding. Everything.

  2. Any of y'all ever had a brutal case of the flu?  You know that feeling when you've had your first really crappy day, and realize this may be more than a mere cold, you test and yep...you've got the flu.  And now you know that as crappy as you feel today....you've got at least another 5-7 days of feeling shitty, and actually, the shittiest days are yet to come?

    Yeah.  That's where we are.  We just had our first shitty night's sleep, realizing we have a fever and feel crappy.....and know that we're going to have many more days like this.  We're just at the beginning of this shitshow.

    If ABC fires him for confronting the President of the United States about an indisputable fact, let's just pack it up and go home. This shit's over.

    Amigo.  Dude.  It's been over for a while now.

    Travis Kelce Unfollows Ryan Reynolds on IG Amid Taylor Swift's Beef With Blake Lively | TMZ TV

    Taylor Swift’s drama with Blake Lively seems to be heating up -- and Travis Kelce’s riding hard for his girl, hitting unfollow on the actress' hubby Ryan Reynolds' IG.

    People actually care about this.

    The giant planet-killing meteor cannot get here soon enough.

  5. Also reading a hypothesis that something (atmospheric?) affected transmission lines causing voltage oscillations and…systems being very frequency-sensitive, caused multiple resources to trip and go offline, causing its own cascade. Will be interesting to see what will likely be a series of failures. But it is very unlikely that it was a “green energy failure” - as in, resources failed because they were solar or wind.

  6. Grid operator gives preliminary breakdown.

    What a horseshit headline. The cascading failures described - talking literally seconds to unfold - do not match up the a “failure of green energy.” The sun didn’t go black in 3.5 seconds. The wind didn’t instantly stop in seconds when it was blowing just fine before. What the story described looks like some massive failure of control systems (in the simplest terms, the systems that get generation onto the grid). And that it happened at multiple places sure raises possibility that it was an attack. Which could have happened to a fossil fuel plant’s interface with the grid as well.
  7. We can no longer afford to have any kind of normalcy bias when we can see in real time how Trump’s goons are terrorizing American citizens with impunity. Tonight, Rachel reported that US Marshals and the FBI are claiming not to have had agents on the premises, even though the women who was terrorized, said some were wearing US Marshals, FBI and ICE branded attire. There’s no immediate relief for this family since the US government claims to know nothing about nothing. They have no money to feed their children because some unknown persons took every penny they had. 
     
    This shit is happening in America to Americans.

    The Regime will find some way to demonize the family and make it alright. For example, I heard that the night before, they picked up tacos from a restaurant that is a known hotbed of Tren de Aragua activity. These people knowingly supported terrorists!*

    *The whole thing is utterly false and made up, but of course that doesn’t matter anymore.

    You know how that will go. You all know it’s true. And his supporters will eat it up, and this family will have to go into hiding.

  8. This is on MSNBC now.  National news.  

    The administration’s approval rating will go up. The pointless and arbitrary cruelty is what tells you the Regime is working.

    In my long life, I have learned that things are never as good or as bad as you think they are.  

    I'm not young, either.  And I'm afraid you're not considering an alternate option: sometimes, things are much, much worse than you thought they were.

    "How bad could it get?"  Thought middle class property owners in Moscow in 1917.  And black people in the US as Reconstruction began to collapse.  And jews in Germany in the 1930s.  And british men of fighting age in the late spring of 1914.  And the American investor class in late October, 1929.

    Sometimes, it can get very, very, very bad.  Worse than you thought possible.  When you have someone who has 1) promised to make things as awful as possible, and 2) has launched a 100-day blitzkrieg doing just that.....you should consider that possiblity.

    Gotta break a few eggs, etc.  Think you're gonna sue them?  Let me introduce you to their defense team from Latham, Skadden, K&E, etc., who when armed with the already absurd qualified immunity doctrine are going to be able to make sure there is never legal recourse for anyone at ICE, Border Patrol, US Marshal Service or FBI for any of this shit.  I mean, this is exactly what we're looking for -  tenacious law enforcement officers - right???

     

    Bingo bango bongo.   And the entire scenario you just posted is CELEBRATED by "libertarians" and "strict constitutional conservatives."

    Because irony isn't just dead, it's been run through the woodchipper.

    The right candidate, of any race, male or female, with the right message and timing can win.

    You don't grasp how deeply broken a country we are.

    FFS, we elected a man who promised to end the Republic, and is doing just that.

    There's no coming back from this.  We are who we are, and that is a shitty people who will never be ready to elect a woman, and never again be willing to elect a minority.  It's done.  The die is cast.

    Obama was the right person at the right time.

    Obama destroyed this country.  Seriously, he did.

    No, not anything he did.  Rather, the act of electing him did.  We elected a black man president, and it irreparably and totally broke the brain of a majority of this country.  Once we elected Obama, it was all over.  Regardless of what he did.  He could have been the second coming of Lincoln and Jesus combined, and it wouldn't have mattered.

    This country will never elect anything but a white male again in my lifetime, and probably my kids' lifetimes.

    I mean, presuming we have actual elections going forward.  Which we won't.

    I think C is most likely correct, but whichever it is, Democrats have lost me.  I'll keep my energy and resources in reserve until there's something more meaningful to get behind.

    Good post overall, but bolded for emphasis.  Not a penny from me and my family for their milquetoast bullshit.

    I won't donate a penny for fucking mailers and spineless tut-tutting.

    I'll donate $1,000 tomorrow for metaphorical bullets and bombs.  The day the Dems actually want my money to use to FIGHT for the Republic, they'll get some.  Still waiting on that day, and suspecting I'll be able to keep my bank account completely intact for a long, long time.

    That story is disgusting. 

    No it's not.  It is:

    1) the new normal

    2) acceptable - even exciting - to the MAGAs (the crushing of all civil liberties tells you the Regime is truly making America Great Again)

    3) acceptable - even exciting - for every single person who used to claim to be "libertarian" and was worried about an "overreaching federal government."

     

    This is exactly what we wanted, exactly what we voted for, and it's going exactly as promised.  If you don't like it, you are an enemy of the Regime, and you best watch yourself.  And don't even think of hiring an attorney....the Regime will go after him, too.
