Sicario, the special forces industrial complex, this bizarre hunger to be at war (or pretend to) 24/7, the obsession to be an “alpha,” it all blends together into a bizarro form of (overcompensating) masculinity

This is some of the most disturbing doomscrolling I’ve ever done. Holy crap. I need a drink. This ruined my workout.
Ok, let's play this out:
Trump is sworn in, legislative gridlock, tariffs, economy starts to slow down, etc.
Trump ramps up anti-Canada rhetoric to distract from failures and moves National Guard troops to US-Canadian border and moves regular military units to the US-Mexican border...

The depressing answer is that the "we" here was always cosmopolitan, generally urban centered, educated elites, and that that consensus broke down as more people got access to the microphone.
We used to believe, in our bones, that humans had an obligation to help the needy. That we were all created equal. And that we are endowed with rights that no one can take away.
When did the central principles of the Enlightenment become subject to debate?

NEW: I think Congress should object to Trump's electors, and bring a bill to the floor to disqualify him under the Supreme Court's new rules for Section 3 of the 14th Amendment. Here's why: www.muellershewrote.com/p/congress-s...

And we will now unfortunately endure another of round of commentary like this (NYT circa 2021) referring to thinly coded Nazi imagery as a “provocative joke.”
Look at this guy, what a comedian.

Musk versus Loomer fight is classic. The ruler’s scheming eunuch is involved in a power struggle with his concubine while he blissfully ignores his responsibilities in his palatial Southern estate. Been done a billion times from Byzantium to Beijing.

Your daily reminder to block Elon Musk's pet Propagandist, Eric Berger, for deliberately obfuscating sexual harassment complaints against SpaceX and for being a gross little toad man

Top 5 reasons to block sciguyspace.bsky.social :
1. Elon Musk will get mad
2. I will post my Berger Wojak collection
3. He is a Nazi Propagandist + paid by SpaceX
4. He doxxes small discord server users because he is petty
5. He gets defensive if you ask him about his departure from Houston Chron

The Obama Administration traded away a ton of advantages in Syria so that relations with Russia could be "reset." This resulted in the survival of Assad. Advantage in Ukraine was also traded for JCPOA. Now Assad is gone, and I hope the same fate awaits Putin. Or, at minimum, victory for Ukraine.

A lot of the big names were (1) selling a book, a podcast or their brand and (2) were protecting their friends at the DoJ who were their former colleagues, classmates or pupils.
America's been fucked into the dirt by the DoJ-Judiciary cloistered monkhood, really years before the Trump cases.

Many big names supported Garland and his 'cautious' approach for most of his tenure. We've been told to be patient and yelled at but in the end, DOJ simply failed. The law failed us.
We've been broken for a long time and now we're finished.
I'm not sure why I wrote this.
