The lawyers are the first to show the most courage.  Thank you SDNY Assistant Attorney General.

This has to be trolling. This person impresses you? Are you joking? I’m seriously confused.

In all fairness, I think I was quite clear what the reference standard was in that post.

So let me see if I understand:

1) you were impressed by the presentation or at least the delivery of the presentation and

2) you don’t think that VP Harris was capable of delivering a similar speech that well

Do I have that right? Please clarify

Close your eyes. Now imagine a 2024 Democratic Party primary. 

Now open your eyes. Trump's America.

This is what seems inevitable.  While the number of lawyers willing to trash the system for Trump is alarming, I think on the grand scale, more of even the federalist-y lawyers like Danielle Sassoon and that Hagen guy are going to be mainstream in their legal views and only the nutbars will be left to do their bidding.  And the nutbars haven't shown themselves to be very good lawyers so far, even if they once were.
I wonder if Blanche is going to be a fucktoady like Bove.  Although Bondi is a piece of shit, I imagine she's getting a bit nervous about what's being exposed about her DOJ.
And, I think even the insane loyalists he seems to be appointing are going to wind up leaving or getting fired just like the Tillersons, Sessions, and Boltons etc.

Alarming to whom?

No one in that hall was stunned by Vance’s brilliance or eloquence. They were stupefied at one of the most insane and counter-productive speeches ever delivered by an American elected leader overseas.  Despite what Americans may believe, Europeans are actually rather less alarmist about America and more inclined to think we will ultimately be normal and it is shocking to see a representative of the superpower behave like Viktor Orban because deep down they still think we are a serious country.  
 
The speech wasn’t for them, it was entirely performance art for the base back home.  MSC is always partly a showcase for Americans to do that— but the genius of Trump is his ability to make all the implicit scuzzines of politics extremely explicit. 

It was written by the Kremlin

The downfall of this country can essentially be singlehandedly traced back to Rupert Murdoch.

Pretty much that Limbaugh, Fox and all that have been enormously profitable by validating people's ugliest feelings. It's like state media but it doesn't require support of the state because the rubes eat it up. That along with the diminishment of traditional press.

Literally a death cult. They want people dying. What would the long term advantages be for the mega wealthy if there were a period of famine, disease, and weather death reducing the population, oh, say, by 40%?

Are we about to effortlessly surpass HItler's death toll?

They're clearly wanting mass deaths. I'm surprised the CDC still exists under this regime. Fauci will be hanged in the public square and that organization destroyed due to its wickedness.

Any Dem with a pulpit should be calling this exactly what it is. I'm not talking about the trivialilty of "messaging" about inflation or fucking egg prices. Thank God the mass media are following that with intense up-to-the-minute reports! They know their jobs.

Denying climate change, removing regulation of industry, and lowering our defenses against plague amounts to mass murder. The Gaza plan is genocidal displacement after the Israeli slaughter of the native people. We want to develop the ruins into condos. "Buy early if you want to live on this Indian burial ground!"

We spoke for Nazis in Europe.

They're not weird. They're fucking evil. Speak the word. Stand on your feet. Get voted out of office if that's the cost. Don't go quietly. We've pretty much lost this war. We're going out with nary whimper let alone a bang.

I expect this post to make a huge difference. You're welcome, America.

Oh man. That would end me. As in, I would not allow that to occur and I’m pretty sure tens of thousands of others would not either. 

One would think, my friend, that an attack on the US Capitol or the dismantling of the republic might stir such a response from tens of thousands.

That JV Vench speech was full of lots of lies and distortions. It’s no surprise a certain someone is mesmerized by it while making the asinine claim that the Black woman VP wouldn’t have been able to even walk into the room without help. 
 
You’ve called for the right wing propaganda but keep telling yourself you’re too smart to have fallen for it. 

20 minutes of disingenuous “look, just give fascists a fair shake, and it’s super-cool if foreign actors meddle to the point of tipping the outcome of your elections [it’s just a coincidence that all for those actors happen to favor my party/side…that has NOTHING to do with my suggestion that you allow them to operate unimpeded]”….yeah, that’s IMPRESSIVE. I’m convinced!

With a MSM media that are cravenly profit driven, is it even realistic to expect anything else?

Don't forget the template factory, journalism schools, where unworldly surbanites learn all the proper formulas for getting quotes instead of hunting up stories. Never dare call something what you see it to be. Listen to the boys down in legal. Two equal sides to everything.

CNN — 

Trump administration officials fired more than 300 staffers Thursday night at the National Nuclear Security Administration — the agency tasked with managing the nation’s nuclear stockpile — as part of broader Energy Department layoffs, according to four people with knowledge of the matter.

Sources told CNN the officials did not seem to know this agency oversees America’s nuclear weapons.

Why wouldn't Kamala be capable of giving a prepared speech to an international audience? She has done it far more than Vance, likely in the range of 25 times. Here is her successful speech in Munich, 2023.

impeach this dumb ass ...

Trump is now considering paving over Jackie Kennedy’s White House Rose Garden with cement to make it look more like Mar-a-Lago.

A White House official said it is “necessary” because it will “restore” the “glory” of the White House.

I found myself at a pool side bar in Playa back in October 2016 with a group of probably mid 40s Germans and another group of late 20s early 30s professional guys from Monterrey (they were there for a bachelor party....they were a lot of fun). Both groups thought we were going batshit crazy back then for even considering Donald Trump and that was a few weeks BEFORE his first election.  

I talk to people from all over the world and the ones that ask about our politicians will have a similarly worded question for me 98 percent of the time. What has happened to America? How can you elect these people? I just tell them they did not get my vote and that we aren’t all like this.

Right wingers couldn't trust media because Fox News told them that all other media, the so-called liberal media, was lying to them.

Then they convinced people that liberals were "the intellectual elite."  They convinced the uneducated that being educated was actually a bad thing, which didn't take much of a push.

So, liberals are liars, intellectuals are liberals and therefore liars, and therefore you can't trust any expert on anything.  You can only come here for the truth.  We're Fair and Balanced.

From that point on, the truth for half of this country has been whatever Fox News wanted it to be.

And the soccer moms on Facebook who did their research on the shitter that morning confirm the bullshit to their echo chambers.  Everybody feels good, and validated, and part of the in-group, and see, those other people are idiots for going to college because we ended up smarter than them anyway.

And now this mob of well-armed idiots is so well-conditioned and intellectually malleable that the bad guys really shouldn't have to worry about any election for the next generation.  Maybe ever.  Hell, Joe Rogan has the younger generation on board already.

I don't see how this shit is fixable.  At all.  I think we're all going to be old men and women someday lamenting what this country once was, most of us from abroad.

Real-world pain, suffering and maybe even blood will get people out of their media-induced hallucinations.  But it will have to work itself pretty far up the net worth curve.

I have never heard of these Facebook pages but meta is clearly fucking with their algorithms to drive interactions. Seeing a lot of right wing bs too all of the sudden. Have to dig through a load of shit just to see my friends and families post. I cut out Twitter, Instagram and threads because I had no family connections on it. I only keep Facebook because I do have family connections. However, they seem to rarely post now. Or, I have to fight Facebook to let me see my feed that is only family, which defaults to "all caught up" even when I haven't been on Facebook in a week. Have to reload it every time to see what I actually missed.

The people with the money and power are removing anything that made America exceptional as quickly as they can in order to create a dumber populace to control.  They don’t want innovation or new and better ideas because that’s how fortunes are won, at the expense of the current fortune holders.
And the people that puff their chests out the most about American exceptionalism are the ones merrily going along with it because it’s already working.

That reeks of FAFO. As many of us have warned, when you opt out of the rule of law, you NECESSARILY opt into the rule of the gun.

You have to actively search for all but a few of them - I mean go to the magnifying glass icon, type their name, press enter - to see their updates. It’s all trash now.

Alt National Park Service exploded because they are good, factual place to get some insight on what is going on inside federal agencies from the inside.  Same reason fednews exploded on Reddit.  It’s actually the algorithm working as it should, organic traffic to the page boosting its visibility.
