Billionaires aren’t buying up these institutions to make money. They’re buying them to kill them. Same as the oligarchs destroying government and social programs and things like weather forecasting and regulatory bodies.
They’re creating a world they control completely

Riffing off Brendan's method of juxtaposition in this awesome report, I'd like to offer another comparison:
Food assistance cuts versus new funding for DHS in the "Big Beautiful Bill"
Republicans cut food assistance by $187 billion while providing $191 billion in funding for DHS

Next time someone asks you about energy and land use, maybe remind them that the ~35 million acres that currently grow corn for ethanol in the US could produce ~15 PWh per year of electricity from solar photovoltaics. That's ~3.5 times more than *total annual generation from all US power plants*.

Qanon I presume was trying to cover up abuse the way abusers always do, by accusing others (who may in some cases also be guilty) of that which they know they are guilty. Trump was already pretty clearly a serial rapist by 2016 when Qanon was championing him. They knew what they were doing.
“qanon was right,” no they werent, stop it
they said democrats only were running a child sacrifice/baby blood drinking/satanic pedophile ring from the basement of a pizza shop that doesnt have a basement
a lot of people were actually right about this, qanon is not among them

The only constant in Trump's politics is that he doesn't have any beliefs in the way that most of us conceptualize what "a belief" is. What he claims to believe at any moment is just what he thinks is necessary to say right then and there to gain advantage for himself.
Trump: "With that being said, you can't have guns. You can't walk in with guns. You just can't. You can't walk in with guns. You can't do that. But it's just a very unfortunate incident."

I don’t think we should make concessions to the Masked Murderers Guild of America. I don’t think we should compromise so the Masked Murderers Guild of America stops using kidnapped kids from schools as bait. I thought this was already illegal. The Masked Murderers Guild of America should not exist.
