I see people jokingly react to this and it's not remotely funny.

You lost the republic.
Over the past week, the president said the DOJ should pay him a quarter billion dollars, bulldozed half the White House to build himself a gaudy ballroom, bragged about murdering civilians in international waters, pardoned some more criminals, directed federal prosecutors to indict his opponents ...

Pretty cool that the unflinchingly corrupt leader of our country is so dumb, so corrupt, and so malleable that he doesn’t have the first clue who he’s letting out of jail or why.
COLLINS: Today you pardoned the founded of Binance. Can you explain why you did that?

TRUMP: Which one was that?

COLLINS: The founder of Binance

TRUMP: I believe we're talking about the same person, because I do pardon a lot of people. I don't know. He was recommended by a lot of people.

“If the West Wing is the mind of the nation, then the East Wing is the heart.”

- former First Lady Betty Ford

The East Wing is gone.

Over a century of American history, reduced to rubble.

All to appease the vanity of a corrupt authoritarian.

Today, the White House Press Secretary told the country that this ridiculous damn ballroom is “the president’s main priority”…not reopening the government, not lowering the cost of groceries, not lowering the cost of housing, not lowering the cost of healthcare….building a ballroom
Volledig te verwachten.

De default is dat iemand met deze bril op niet meer te vertrouwen is.
New: a $60 mod to Meta's Ray-Ban glasses disables the privacy LED light. This is supposed to light when people are filming with the glasses. We bought the mod, verified it works. Now you can never be sure whether someone wearing Meta Ray-Bans is filming you or not

I'm going with the "Big Fat Lie" hypothesis.
I love that album to bits.

A blaring red warning signal for the rule of law; a President declaring “we’re just gonna kill people” without a trial or even a shred of due process.
Trump: "I don't think we're necessarily going to ask for a declaration of war, I think we're just gonna kill people that are bringing drugs into our country. We're going to kill them. They're going to be, like dead."
Oh, wat zou ik er voor geven dat een lijsttrekker gewoon eens tegen een vragensteller zou zeggen dat hij zich de ogen uit de kop zou moeten schamen.

A man was arrested for playing Darth Vader's theme music, "The Imperial March," behind National Guard troops walking through Logan Circle.

Now the ACLU is suing on his behalf. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

Picture of the East Wing demolition of the White House taken on my flight out of DCA.
Dit geeft al direct aan hoe onzinnig, sturend en schadelijk die obsessie met peilingen kan zijn.
Over een perverse prikkel gesproken.

Je wordt gedwongen mee te doen omdat je anders niet te zien bent.

Zohran Mamdani on MAGA billionaire, Bill Ackman, donating to the campaign against him: "He's spending more money against me than I would even tax him. Everyday is like a million dollars, I'm like, I don't even want that much."

Kwalijke kop va @nieuws.nos.nl. In dit artikel schreef ik al eens waarom. Doen alsof dit een premiersverkiezing is, is schadelijk voor vertrouwen in politiek — én vertrouwen in democratie.

Except Palantir of course.

Palantir always was overtly evil to its core.

Seems like a great moment for some magazine to do a big spread of photos of the East Wing throughout its history, driving home exactly what kinds of spaces have been taken from the people.
