Imagining a world where the word "fan" was derived from "fancy" - as in "oh, I really fancy this thing" - rather than "fanatic" - as in "I have fuck all sense of perspective about this thing and flip unpredictably and erratically between ecstasy and rage about it."

Yeah, I don’t think the same politicians who gave a standing ovation to Netanyahu during a live-streamed genocide are going to help you with your fascism problem.

From 'An American Fridge', by Mick Herron.
Not sharing this as an insight on one person, but on a whole demographic. In the story, first broadcast in 2016, it is referring to a businessman in the first part of the last century.

Fun fact: Black Panthers doing perfectly legal (at the time) open carry in CA in the 1960s spurred then-Governor Reagan to sign the Mulford Act into law in 1965, prohibiting it.
These people have no consistent politics outside a desperate, leering need to keep hold of power and privilege.

This leads me to believe that up until this meeting, Trump absolutely thought it was "hole milk."

It's always a treat when Brandi Maxx turns up on Parks and Recreation, and this final season ep I hadn't previously seen is no different. The porno names are perfect.

I'm just a guy standing in front of the entirety of mainstream news media, asking them to do more than the bare minimum of just repeating the same press release as each other over and over while the world burns.

Yes, JD. Let’s ask them if they think a stay at home mom, avowed Christian, and widow of a veteran deserved to be shot in the face and left to bleed out in her own car after dropping her 6-year-old off at school, for the crime of looking out for her neighbors. Let’s ask everyone running for office.

And not for nothing, when other presidents did this... People Protested.
They fucking did. Anti-war etc protest isn't actually new, it's a proud tradition, and letting the right and middle try to rewrite that history would be a mistake.

"The U.S. always does this."
All the more reason to prosecute Trump - to ensure that the country doesn't continue doing this in the future.

Gonna just observe that “other presidents have illegally attacked sovereign nations” may be an important observation, but not letting ourselves be boiled like proverbial frogs into normalizing this shit is an important *skill*
