As a result of a video by the nice guys at the YouTube channel In Deep Geek and a 10mg gummy, I either invented a new school of economic theory tonight, or developed the equation for the destruction of human civilization.

Whether I reveal it is entirely up to me.

You are all in my power.

For those who don’t intimately understand how news works and why Bari Weiss’s unearned elevation to head of CBS News matters, I’d recommend watching this in entirety. Also, will forever point out irony of how an admitted DEI hire thinks her hire was meritorious while Black people’s aren’t.

Trump has been inciting violence against Democrats for years.

His goal is to instigate a civil war and genocide.

Fascism is eliminationism.

“Make America great again” means “Eliminate all Democrats.”

NEW: There’s a disaster unfolding in Alaska right now. And no major network is covering it.

The remnants of Typhoon Halong battered western Alaska overnight. Homes, with people in them, have literally been swept into the Bering Strait.

At least 20 are missing. No comment from any federal agency.

I’m sure the people who were *pissed* that Hunter Biden sold paintings are equally furious about Barron Trump reportedly being tapped for the TikTok board.

Right?

I sure hope President Biden can make it to the midterms so he can be assured of a proper state funeral. We all know that Trump and his Evil Elf will block it.

After all, he placed an auto pen photo in place of President Biden's portrait along the Colonnade.

Your daily reminder that #Trump is a POS

The Russian government has approved a law allowing the deployment of reservists in operations outside the country.

According to the document, the mobilization reserve can now be used to carry out tasks during so-called “counter-terrorist” operations or in the participation of Russian troops abroad.

I’ve been rather tuned out this week, so it’s possible someone else has already thought of this, but does anyone think that the NFL chose Bad Bunny for the show because they WANTED the controversy?

I mean, let’s be honest: the NFL isn’t exactly a progressive organization. Is this just a stunt?

Unconstitutionally taking money that the law says must be spent on one purpose & using it for something else—when it's to establish personalist control over the FUCKING MILITARY—is about as dangerous a constitutional crisis/failure as you can imagine

Via: www.nbcnews.com/politics/tru...

The Office of Management and Budget sent a notification to Congress about their intent to use research and development funds to pay members of the military, two sources with direct knowledge tell NBC News.

A spokesperson for the OMB confirmed to NBC News that it plans to use the research and development funds and that there are two years' worth of funds available within the Department of Defense.
