Donald Trump is possibly the stupidest person on earth... did nobody tell that asshole that the whole point of a "covert CIA op" is to keep it secret? What a fucking moron. I'm not CIA (or am I?) but if I were (which I will neither confirm nor deny) I'd be so pissed off!

Trump says he authorised CIA in Venezuela as Maduro says 'no to regime change'

Trump would not be drawn on whether the CIA was seeking to topple Maduro.

Which is a perfectly normal thing to say in a free society and not at all a sign of democratic backsliding.

Pretty simple rule of thumb when wondering why the Trump administration does anything is to ask two questions:

1) is it racist?

Or

2) are they stupid?

Tends to cover most Trump administration stuff.

Trump is erasing America's racism in the past and making eugenics official American ideology.

In the executive order he labels certain things as “improper ideologies”

One of the things he explicitly mentions as improper is “thinking of race as a social construct”

This is actual Nazi shit.

Trump executive order seeks to 'restore' American history through Smithsonian overhaul

The "Restoring Truth and Sanity to American History" order removes "divisive, race-centered ideology" from Smithsonian museums, educational and research centers, and the National Zoo.

This is what the opposition did in the Hungary Parliament when they passed the Pride ban.

May we have congresspeople with an ounce of the courage.

It's fascism. All fascists are authoritarian, but not all authoritarians are fascists. These people are fascists. They have Musk and Bannon out there throwing Sieg Heil's like it's NBD and the "very fine people on both sides" guy is president.

While I don't agree with all of you all the time, and us members don't agree with each other all the time, at least there people can *respectfully* disagree and have a conversation like reasonable adults. Thanks for what y'all do, frankly you guys are doing so much now I don't have time to keep up!
