You really have to hand it to Putin. He conquered the US without lobbing a single bomb, just a bunch of memes. He banked on there being more useful idiots in this country than useless ones, and he was right. The most impressive hearts and minds campaign in history.

I don’t even know how to cope psychologically with the fact that American lawmakers are apparently more motivated to ban TikTok than they are to fix gun control, guarantee bodily autonomy for all, or reject fascism

What we didn’t hear today from a Dem Senator- “Attorney General Bondi, may I remind you that Trump is a convicted felon, indicted by four separate grand juries and found guilty of 35 felony counts by a NY jury.” It would’ve taken 10 seconds to say this and shut down the “weaponization” garbage.
