On the wall at a local steakhouse. This grinning, shady-looking churchman selling indulgences for two bucks. What is even happening here? Is this Protestant propaganda? Like, a stock image? None of the other art in the place is remotely religious. Did someone just find this guy at an estate sale?

No True Leveller, etc
I hate it when my family argues about politics at Thanksgiving. My Independent Dad is yelling at my Covenanter cousin for allying with the king while my Fifth Monarchist uncle keeps making cryptic pronouncements about the Book of Daniel, and here I am, a Leveller.

No one shld lose sight of the fact that the Guard was only in DC as part of an extended political messaging stunt. The shooter is guilty for the attacks/carnage. Donald Trump is responsible for them. This is the collateral damage of Trump abusing his powers as President.

It's arrogant and obnoxious the way the people of Constantinople insist on being called "Romans" when they only rule a small part of the old Roman state, and their part doesn't even have ROME in it! I'm going to call them ERians, for "Eastern Romans" and they should feel grateful.

Okay this is dark but how high are we putting the chances of Trump posting about wanting a public execution in the next couple of days? Not saying he has the juice to make that happen, though god only knows. But he’ll post about it!

I always say that I am among the descendents the genocidal settler colonists who inhabit the territory of Turtle Island, myself. Everyone smiles and nods vigorously l, so obviously it’s clear to them what I mean.
I've introduced myself as being "From the US" or "From the United States" before and people have literally not understood what I was saying until I said "American" and 100% of them immediately understood.
I don't think I've personally used the term USian much, but I have definitely said thinks like "I'm from the USA"/etc instead of "I'm American". I know it probably doesn't make much difference for most, but at least some people outside the USA but in the Americas appreciate it.

Re: "Bullying" discourse. It feels like we do this kind of "debate" over and over, heh.
Yeah, everybody's just arguing semantics here. (Which is fine! It's what we wordcels do!) "Bullying" is by definition done to someone weaker, and that's bad. But the people trying to "reclaim" bullying here don't mean it that way, exactly. It's just a rhetorical trick. [again, fine!]

I've assumed this is true for a while now! I mean, he has no problem just making stuff up, but he really DOES care about his popularity and also has zero grasp of details. I've always figured they just print out his poll numbers with REPUBLICANS, or in Idaho, and hope that makes him happy.
At this point, I wonder if he isn't lying when he says he has "my highest Poll Numbers, ever" since it's entirely possible that's what his aides are telling him. It's quite likely that there's an entire Potemkin village built around Trump right now.

Oh, this is certainly true! And this IS "competitive authoritarianism" to the extent I understand the definition. That's quite bad, of course, but we knew that. I just take issue with the "yet," because it suggests Trump might be growing CLOSER to having the power to jail his enemies.
Some may take comfort in Trump not being able (yet) to jail his enemies, but these attacks are costly and deter people from opposing him. In that way, they tilt the playing field even when the efforts at retribution are not fully successful. Precisely what competitive authoritarian regimes look like
NYT: “.. Trump is facing obstacles as he tries to use the Justice Department to investigate, prosecute and jail those he targets.”
But his appointees “are harnessing a range of departments .. and rarely used powers outside the Justice Department to inflict pain.”
