I mean....it really is astounding -- and I say this as a fucking cynic of the highest order -- how fucking quickly our entire government and political culture went full-on "unabashed evil racist."

These fucking people, man.

And this is only four months in.  They're not even all the way out from under their rock yet.  This is still the desensitize-the-public phase.

It's amazing to think of how far they can take this, and how little resistance they're going to meet along the way, at least from the inside.  Holy shit, man.

Has any national leader, ever, berated another national leader in a public forum before?  

You have Norks, Hitler, Stalin, Putin, Idi Amin, Robert Mugabe, Tojo, Mao and on and on.  Just a plethora of assholes and psychopaths, none of whom can top this psychopathic asshole for psychotic assholery.

It wasn't a surprise at all to me.  See Avatar.

It’s all he’s got. Those other leaders brought more to the table than the orange dipshit. They were smarter and/or more ruthless. Trump treats this like a reality TV show.

As the clip played, Mr. Trump said: “These are burial sites right here. Burial sites. Over a thousand of white farmers.”

Contrary to Mr. Trump’s statements, the crosses are not gravesites for farmers and were not permanently placed along the road. Footage posted to social media before the remembrance event, in early September 2020, shows people setting up the white crosses, and Google Street View images from 2023 indicate they have since been taken down.

And that's exactly why we're finished as the leader of the free world regardless of what happens. It took like 60 days to undo 80 years of work. Few things could be more dispiriting.

Only a true waterhead could believe for a fraction of a second that hundreds of people were buried in marked graves straddling the sides of a goddamn road. 

There's no way I can keep my sanity through 3.5 more years of this fever dream.

How hard can it be to answer the phone and give a dollar figure?

Yeah, true.  For reference, past pardon attorneys have been seasoned criminal practitioners attuned to systemic flaws in sentencing and the courts more generally as well as criminal psychology and evidence of rehabilitation/tendency to recidivate.  Given that their role is to assess people who have been sentenced over-harshly under flawed regimes (crack disparity for example) and/or who are deserving of early release or pardon.

It should be a highly respectable and important position.  Of course, they are often largely ignored for political expedience.  They are rarely tools of expedience.  Leave it to Trump, though.

I guess you laugh because Trump hasn't committed genocide.  True enough.  But unlike all those other assholes, who did commit genocide in the shithole countries they took over, Trump took over the richest, arguably free-est, and most stable country in history, and has actually thrown the entire country into reverse at an alarming rate.

He'd commit genocide in a heartbeat if he thought he could get away with it and it would help his ratings.  But because he probably can't as it currently stands, berating national leaders will have to do.

Trump is turning the Oval Office into some weird apprentice set. Bring people in to insult them, and force his team to sit there as the live audience. I don’t think we’re far off that world leaders will just avoid him.

Correct. A nonviolent re-calibration to a working democracy and society is in the hands of 70 million people that voted for this piece of shit and his "policies". Either they wake up or they don't. Basically, we're fucked.

Crazy what a house of cards the presidency and the world’s oldest democracy really was.
All it took was a racist TV ‘billionaire’ charlatan narcissist simpleton to completely break it. 
I truly believed that we, through all our faults, were a city in a hill. There was nothing intrinsically better about Americans, but the system we built was better. That process mattered enough that even given our human frailties we always ‘bent towards freedom.’
Nope. Shit in. Shit out. 
We do not have the raw materials to make this work anymore.
The American populous has become rotten to the core and even with the process we have you can’t turn feces into diamonds.

I disagree. We were a city on a hill if you were / are a white male. Beyond that - living in America was not all rosey. Hell, dead people have more bodily autonomy than women in a lot of states.

I was impressed with the South African president.  He remained cool after the video and talked about how the people in the video did not represent his government's policy and the need to bring voices to the table to discuss differences peacefully.  He thanked Trump for the US delivery of technology that is helping them find criminal activity in South Africa.

And Trump kept going back to "these are thousands of roadside graves, see the video?  Thousands...  Here, see these handouts?  Death...."

A friend from high school is a Christian missionary in Cape Town.  She sent me this link today.  It's a good read.  I'll post the first bit but the link will take you to the whole statement.

Quote

On 7 February 2025, the President of the United States of America issued an executive order withdrawing all U.S. government aid to South Africa. In the same week, their Secretary of State announced his refusal to attend the G20 summit in South Africa. The stated reasons for these actions are claims of victimisation, violence and hateful rhetoric against white people in South Africa along with legislation providing for the expropriation of land without compensation.  

As white South Africans in active leadership within the Christian community, representing diverse political and theological perspectives, we unanimously reject these claims. We make this statement as white South Africans because these claims are being made about us and our experience in this place.  The narrative presented by the U.S. government is founded on fabrications, distortions, and outright lies. It does not reflect the reality of our country and, if anything, serves to heighten existing tensions in South Africa.  It also detracts from the important work of building safer, healthier communities and addressing the complex history of land dispossession by white Europeans from the black African majority. 

Statement by White South African church leaders

It was a ridiculous comparison. It’s embarrassing.

The president of the United States is acting like a toddler in front of world leaders and blatantly lying about genocide but a surly poster’s possibly inapt comparisons is what you find embarrassing. Lol.

I see the Big Beautiful Budget has passed the House. As I've said before, the country has no chance to heal until 1) the MAGA people start feeling real pain (and they will) when the Federal services go away but the taxes don't, 2) no one will help them in an emergency, 3) they lose their basic civil rights (1st & 5th) and human rights (clean water, affordable food, safe medicine).

Then, and only then, will they possibly come to their senses.  But I have a little more faith in the 1/3 of the nation that can't even be bothered to vote.

I always figured it would take a war to get us back on the right path.  This will be that war.

Just checking in for my bi-weekly dose of doom and gloom.  How are we doing today? We dead yet?

Lmfao this is giving MNhorn vibes in the twitter thread as elon was doing his dumb shit there - yeah everything is going great.

  • Ignoring courts and asserting they have no checks on co-equal branches of government
  • attacking peoples and targeting them for retribution for their peaceful and free speech
  • unilaterally restricting legislatively mandated funds, snatching the power of the purse from congress

are just a few that come to mind. I'm happy to provide specific links if you disagree with anything

Lol if you think that makes any difference, as long as they have trans people and Mexicans to hate, they don’t care.

I always forget who’se who among the surly CR fake libertarians but wasn’t at least one always just hyper focused on deficits and the national debt? We all know they never gave a single shit about that issue, just another fake talking point that their troll fanbase goes with until it’s their people in charge then fucking crickets. There’s zero policy or governance concerns on the right anymore it’s just pure trolling while the elites pad their wealth and shit into their supporters mouths who in turn worship them and thank them for the privilege of tasting that sweet feces.

Yes I find it incredibly embarrassing when Horns compare Trump unfavorably to Hitler, Stalin, Pol Pot, Amin, Mao, etc.  I do not care what you say on your boards and I already know you’re a total dipshit.
