At this point, I’m convinced the motive for most of what the Trump regime does is gratuitous cruelty. Once you accept that explanation, all those motherfuckers do starts to make sense.

Kash Patel lumping artists with terrorists in 3… 2… 1…

There aren’t fewer trans people - young or old: a lot of them simply choose to stay quiet in a dangerous reactionary fascist country.

And just like the Wehrmacht, the US military won’t lift a finger to stop the ICE thugs because they’re brainwashed into obeying blindly, like the dumb servile robots they are.

The Gestapo wouldn’t have stood a chance against the Wehrmacht either, yet they terrorized Germany for 12 long years.

They don’t need the military. They have the ICE Gestapo-style paramilitary.

As for giving up, I gave up on the United States 25 years ago when I gave up my citizenship, after Dubya shat out the very fascist USA Patriot Act.

This country is hopeless, and it’s been hopeless for a very long time.

Wow, I’m so surprised. And nobody saw this coming…

Buh-bye mid-terms.

Buh-bye Republic. See you in 10 years when the regime collapses.

Makes senses: the California National Guard are now grizzled, battle-hardened warriors after bravely fighting in the trenches of the Great Los Angeles Insurrection, and therefore best suited to tackle the horrors of the Portland warzone.

They might even be asked to patrol farmers’ markets, where dangerous hippies might throw chia seeds at them! Oh the humanity!

(no consumer is going to pay for extended) begins to really push people to Windows 11

Consumers aren’t exactly ecstatic about throwing away perfectly serviceable computers just so Microsoft can push their spyware-cum-advertising platform down their throats either.

I’d say this is a great push towards Linux for anybody who knows anything about computers and isn’t a corporation with a dumbass MCSE jockey as an “IT” guy.

The worst thing Israel could have done to discredit Greta Thunberg and damage her brand would have been to give her a nice meal, a warm bed in a nice hotel, gently push her onboard the next 1st class flight back to Stockholm the next day and release a statement telling her to go play SJW somewhere else. Instead, they’re doing everything possible to confirm they’re truly bad people, like dumbasses.

The nation’s treasures are not Trump’s to give.

And this is surprising how?

Apple is like all the other corporate monopolies operating in a fascist country: they’re in cahoots with the powers that be. It’s just that somehow Apple has managed to convince a lot of gullible people that they’re on their side.

As always, follow the money - because Apple’s friends are rich fucks and people in power that can give them more money, not you.

I think it’s very much post-crime at this point.

One of the most stupendous traits of the Trump fascist regime is the deep-seated desire to be cruel.

They think that they’re hardcore, we are so much more hardcore than they are

This bald Nazi wannabe talks big, but I bet he would collapse on his knees and cry for mommy if he found himself being mugged in an alleyway.

What the fuck is wrong with this psycho? Was he bullied at school or something?

He’s right. “Fascist” doesn’t quite capture the Trump regime. “Nazi” does much better.

Do we call this Nazi concentration camps yet, or is this still a “slippery slope” and is Trump still cutely “flirting with authoritarianism”?

I wish everybody stopped talking about “test run” and “slippery slope”: we’re 200% IN the authoritarianism. In fact, it’s so authoritarian everybody can stop using the authoritarianism cutesy and call it what it is: FASCISM.

When the depression hits, people won’t need no statistics to figure out they’re in a depression.

You ain’t seen nothing yet. The orange utan is working hard to turn worsening poverty into a raging depression.
