starving over 40 million people right before major holidays + massively upping healthcare costs does strike me as a rather bold move this early in the authoritarian consolidation game for any given fascist regime, but I guess we’ll see what happens

The founders assumed a guy like Trump would come along. They never assumed a congress would so willingly give up their power

This arch thing is bat shit loonery
Why the f$&k are we now seeing Supreme Court Justices on TV?

Just a reminder, the layoffs in govt were just done out of spite, not necessity

If the Democrats don’t cave on the government shutdown, Trump will fire lots of federal workers (which is also exactly what Trump did when the government was open)

Last year, CNN ran a “fact check” of Kamala HQ that claimed we were lying for saying Trump’s plan is Project 2025.

Now Trump is outright admitting it’s his plan.

Legacy media failed the country.
That plastered smile is freaking me out.
Even in his hatred, he’s completely unaware that he comes off as awkward and weird.
People are furloughed. But hey, the good ol’ racism is super funny.

If you're blaming the Democrats for the shutdown of a government that is run entirely by Republicans, why stop there?

Go wild, man. Blame the shutdown on leprechauns, or the Seattle Mariners, or maybe the cast of "She's the Sheriff."

You've decided facts don't matter, so have some fun with it!

and my electric bill is doubling for this bullshit?
I know we were all haters but this shit is worse than you can imagine.

I guess that’s kind of the point. Manmade horrors beyond our comprehension. Except there isn’t even a train wreck attraction to any of this because none of it is real.

There are no stakes and no status to be gained.
I’m on Colorado Springs - previously lived in the Dallas / Fort Worth area for 37 years. The absolute fear some of these people have of their own “red” city. It has to be exhausting constantly living in the state of terror some of these people live in.
Additionally, next up if he can make this happen…Shopify, Canva, Spotify. All SaaS platforms made/hosted outside the US. Setting a dangerous precedent here.

there are almost certainly more people — more blue collar laborers, specifically — involved in the cultivation and production of chardonnay grapes and wine than in coal
Energy Secretary Chris Wright on Fox: "We're announcing today expanded programs to help the American coal industry. We're helping it because for years it has been under assault. It was out of fashion with the chardonnay set in San Francisco, Boulder, and NYC ... coal just makes the world go round."
Not sure how you’d do it. But either way, it’d set an awful precedent that SaaS platforms could be next.

Interesting to note that the coal industry in the U.S. employs just a tad over 40,000 people, according to the BLS. The same source tells us that 64,000 people work at wineries.

Wouldn’t this set a precedent to pretty much be able to tariff any software, or SaaS product made in another country. Good luck with that.

I know for a fact that Antifa is not an organization because I don't get emails from them asking for money.
Sigh, people who hate follow as a hobby are so freaking weird.
MySpace Tom had the right idea. Maybe Zuck should try photography.
