So, what's it going to be - Dictatorship or Chinese colony? 

Mar-a-lago mafia which is based on Putin's mafia. That's why they want tax immunity because the mafia always gets taken down for tax evasion.

Just tried to e-mail my congresscritter, (Whitless from Warsaw). Just jumped thru a lot of hoops. Doesn't seem to be working

Yep, Funny how it works...Don't believe a single word from MAGA or their sycophants

 

They’re counting on people being too distracted by endless entertainment options to notice.

it is going to take a while to die, but this country is done.

the abject, blatant corruption is breathtaking.

MAGA is the ultimate combination of grifters, racists, nihilist, useful idiots, and just plain weird and nasty trash.

a basket of deplorables.

At least in its current form, and we can no longer simply vote our way back to whatever we nostalgically regard as normal.

At this point it’s probably going to take something very dramatic (or drastic, take your pick) to change things for the better on a permanent basis, and it’s well within the range of outcomes that a frightening number of us—both old and young—may not be alive to see it.

They get it all right. The problem is the folks who blindly follow the Pedaphile Party because..."Libs are bad according to Faux News and their AM radio listening, etc

I do think the RWM is the linchpin of this whole thing, and if that ecosystem could be somehow decimated, that would go a long way toward breaking the spell.

need to fix SC. add 4 justices. impeach Alito and Thomas, remove them. strip Roberts of CJ title. Congress decides what the SC non-constitutional jurisdiction is, so start limiting their ability to review the things you know they are going to screw with

need to fix House of Representatives. add 50% more seats. Texas, Fla, NY, Illinois, and Cali will benefit the most. need to have more Reps for 330M people.

need to fix EC. impossible. ****ty red states would never give up their advantage of having land vote for presidents.

need to round up MAGA trash and eject them straight into the sun.

Dems lack the will and balls to get this done, terrified of what the RW media will say about them, terrified of being seen as not "reaching across the aisle". institutionalists will preach moderation, deliberateness, and of course cooperation with people who are trying (and succeeding) in destroying the country

Dems will not save us from MAGA. no one will.

The monster in the room is citizens united.  Its allowing Orban and Putin to fund all sorts of terrible things.  

There is no returning to normality as defined by anyone.  The only path is synthesis as taught by the harsh lessons of this criminal gang in power right now.

They are being delayed due to the Iran War and you should be thankful for that.

Trump won't even give people $2K for anything. The slush fund is just another grift that will end up in his crypto wallet. 

Especially likely since under the terms of the settlement, the government has no responsibility for “the protection or safeguarding” of the funds once they have been placed into the account, including any issues related to bank errors or crimes, like fraud, that may be committed with the money. The fund will also be managed by a six-person commission, five of whom will be appointed by the Trump-appointed attorney general, and any of whom can be unilaterally removed by Trump at any time for any or no reason.

What could possibly go wrong?

So what if Senate votes to pass the resolution to curb war powers? What do they expect Trump to do in response? Comply? As if.

False choice. There can be both. 😏

well, the dumb part about the War Powers act is that the President can veto the resolution, which then means it you need an override super majority - which ain't gonna happen anyway.

We used to think that having a Constitution instead of  just a precedent guided Parliament like Britain was an advantage. I just don't think it's true anymore. The US Constitution and its recent SCOTUS interpretations are hindering US democracy far more than they are helping to achieve it.

Probably because they treat the Constitution like MAGA Christians treat the bible: they embrace the parts that make them feel good, and they ignore the rest.

Do people who got fired over Charlie Kirk get a piece of this slush fund?

From the story:

Acting Attorney General Todd Blanche made clear Wednesday that the conduct of January 6, 2021, rioters who attacked law enforcement will be factored when the soon-to-be-set-up commission reviews applications to the anti-weaponization fund.

“One of the factors the commissioners have to consider is what the claimant did — the claimant’s conduct,” Blanche told CNN’s Paula Reid in an interview Wednesday. “The claimant would have to say, ‘I assaulted a cop and I want money.’”

“Whether the commissioners will give that person money – that claimant – it’s up to them. But that’s one of the factors they have to consider,” he continued, adding that Trump “does not stand for assaulting law enforcement.”

Blanche said he couldn’t fully rule out the possibility that someone who was violent toward officers [would not receive payments], saying it was up to the commissioners.

“So, whether the commissioners will give that person money, that claimant, it’s up to them,” he said.

Translation:

If you assaulted a Capitol cop to overturn the election and reinstall Donald Trump as president, then congratulations and look for a check in the mail.

**** the fact that Americans are being told there is no money for healthcare, no money for childcare, no money for clean water, no money for housing, no money for student debt relief, no money for people drowning under medical bills, and yet somehow there is suddenly $1.8 billion available for the same political movement that stormed the Capitol chanting about civil war because their candidate lost an election.

And **** the gaslighting.

For years Americans were told January 6 was “just tourists.” Then it was antifa. Then it was federal agents. Then it was an inside job. Then it became “patriots.” Then suddenly the same people who spent years screaming about “government handouts” started cheering the possibility of taxpayer-funded payouts connected to January 6 defendants and Trump allies.

Pick a ****ing conspiracy and stick to it.

You cannot spend years claiming January 6 was secretly orchestrated by left-wing infiltrators and then turn around and reward the people who carried it out. You cannot scream “back the blue” while financially and politically glorifying the mob that beat police officers, hunted lawmakers through the Capitol, smashed windows, erected gallows, and tried to overturn an election. You cannot spend decades ranting about “personal responsibility” while building an entire political movement around protecting one man from responsibility forever.

**** the fact that Trump is openly trying to use the federal government to shield himself, his family, his businesses, and affiliated entities from future investigations while ordinary Americans drown in debt, illness, and survival anxiety. **** the fact that the same man who built an entire movement around “law and order” now seems determined to make sure accountability never reaches him or the loyalists protecting him. And **** the reality that justice in the United States of America now appears to depend on how much power, money, and loyalty to one man you have.

This was never about patriotism. It was never about fiscal responsibility. It was never about Christianity, morality, accountability, or protecting institutions. It was about protecting power. Protecting hierarchy. Protecting the people inside the club while everybody else gets told to suffer quietly and call it freedom.

**** the fact that the same government claiming it cannot afford healthcare is helping create conditions where corporations poison water supplies with PFAS for decades while oversight and accountability are gutted. **** the fact that communities are getting sicker, hotter, poorer, and more desperate while corporations keep profiting from contamination. **** the fact that the same people screaming about ‘freedom’ are perfectly comfortable with corporations contaminating farmland, groundwater, and entire ecosystems as long as shareholders keep making money.

**** the fact that cancer has become so normalized in this country that people almost talk about it casually now, while entire communities are living with contaminated drinking water and politicians obsess over culture war bull**** designed to keep people distracted from who is actually poisoning them. 

**** the fact that companies tied to pesticides, toxic chemicals, pollution, and environmental destruction are treated like untouchable pillars of the economy while ordinary people are left holding the medical bills.

And **** the fact that we are now barreling into an AI arms race and massive data-center expansion that is consuming staggering amounts of energy and water while the public is told conservation is their personal responsibility. Billionaires are building machine empires that drain resources on a massive scale while ordinary people are lectured about individual carbon footprints, reusable bags, and thermostat settings.

That is the moral sickness underneath all of this.

The people in power are not sacrificing. They are not tightening belts. They are not suffering. They are building systems where the public absorbs the consequences while corporations and political loyalists absorb the rewards.

And **** the fact that Americans are being conditioned to see corruption as normal background noise now. **** the fact that the idea of a president potentially receiving legal shielding tied to investigations involving himself, his family, and his businesses barely shocks people anymore because the country is drowning in so much nonstop chaos that outrage itself is being exhausted out of people.

There was a time when something like this would have consumed the political system for months. Now it disappears into the news cycle in hours because people are financially cornered, psychologically overwhelmed, terrified about rent, healthcare, food prices, layoffs, debt, climate disasters, and survival.

And who the **** do you think created the conditions that made people this exhausted in the first place?

That exhaustion is not accidental. People struggling to survive do not have the energy to constantly fight corruption. People who are exhausted are easier to manipulate, easier to overwhelm, easier to distract, easier to divide, and while the public is drowning in survival mode, the powerful loot the system in broad daylight.

The attacks on oversight connect to the attacks on environmental protections. The attacks on accountability connect to the attacks on healthcare. The attacks on truth connect to the attacks on science. The attacks on democracy connect to the attacks on public education, journalism, regulation, labor protections, and public trust itself.

Because once people stop believing anything can be fixed, corruption becomes much easier to sustain.

And **** the fact that this country is starting to feel less like a democracy and more like a marketplace where laws, protections, investigations, and even reality itself are available to the highest bidder.

It has become a rotting ****ing carcass of greed, corruption, cruelty, and propaganda, with billionaires, corporate poisoners, and political loyalists feeding on what is left of the country. And they are calling the rot patriotism.

It is time for people to stop worshipping billionaires like they are gods. It is time to wake the **** up and realize no one is coming to save us while powerful people profit off our exhaustion, fear, division, sickness, debt, and silence. They want people distracted, isolated, fighting each other, and too overwhelmed to push back because exhausted people are easier to control. 

The people have to become louder than the propaganda, louder than the corruption, louder than the billionaires buying this country piece by piece while calling exploitation freedom.

**** your propaganda. **** your corruption. **** your grift. **** your lies. People see the rot now, and we are really ****ing done.

 

America Has Become a Rotting Carcass of Billionaires, Corruption and Cruelty. And We Are Really ****ing Done.
