It’s a brilliant piece of stupid propaganda. If the next democratic president tries to bring the country out of depression by undoing these dumb policies, the MAGA folks will claim that they nearly had solved the problem but that the awful democrats stopped it at the last minute before the prosperity would kick in.

Stealing the top comment:

See what’s sad is that there could be real national security reasons for the FBI/DOJ actions, but because the pattern lately has been un-uniformed randos detaining people in the streets (and then disappearing them), I’m fresh out of benefits of the doubt for the government here.

If they’re the subject of a criminal investigation, say so. If they’re not, then explain why nobody has heard from these people in seemingly weeks. Are they green card holders? US citizens?

This is pathetic. Any respect I had for this group has evaporated.

I’ve had Americans say to me that the only thing foreigners understand is violence.

There’s no way for carmakers to absorb tariffs AND increase jobs with the reduced revenue.

While I don’t trust him, I don’t see the resignation as a good thing. I suspect he was holding back an attempt to privatize and sell off the postal service.

In the victim of a hate crime!

That’s not what a hate crime is.

Well I hated it!

It lost about $100 per share since December. It’s still overpriced and still falling.

Musk is the richest man in the world because of his 13% share. I don’t want to give the man a penny, and selling off everything to boycott will help take away his extreme hold on American politics.

Democrats SUCK at messaging. Republicans hammered Obama nonstop for a simple line about keeping your doctor under the ACA.

Democrats should be hammering this message daily in all media and they’re not? Why? Trump was right when he said he expected Democrats to fight him harder.

And upgraded to federal charges. Kash Patel is spending government resources on this for his partisan buddy instead of rightwing extremists and insurrectionists.

Yes and there’s no realistic way to pass a law to ban it. Republicans will not give up their power and any attempt will flood billions into electoral opponents to stop it.

Not at all.

Yes but no matter how obvious you think guilt is, eveyone has to go through a trial. Cops aren’t the judges or executioners.

Trump: the innocent shall suffer!

during the days of Stalin in communist Russia, one of the most popular proverbs was “Comrade Stalin, there has been a terrible mistake!”

It’s a mock quote by people being rounded off to the gulag (the Russian concentration camps) who considered themselves patriots, true worshippers of Dear Leader, who engaged in snitching against their neighbors, personal rivals and even family members to see them taken away to concentration camps, while being certain that this behavior will earn them the state’s loyalty and safeguard them against repressions. When the Black Mariahs came for them (called Black Crows in Russia), they would often be heard crying out “Dear comrade Stalin, there has been a terrible mistake!”

Trump needs a fight, he cannot function without an enemy.

I thought this was obvious to everyone. Heck, Futurama had this as a joke 20 years ago when Zapp Brannigan stuffed his crew with nothing but loyalists who fall apart immediately.

This simply won’t end here. RFK wanted vaccines pulled off the market. (He may put on a show during his confirmation and lie and pretend now he loves them though)

Antivaxxers have spent the last 4 years claiming that vaccines cause people to “shed” vaccine particles or spike proteins. They’re blaming miscarriages, autism, and actual covid on this mythical shedding and some have tried to ban vaccinated people from businesses and homes. They’ll try to ban vaccines to stop this delusion.

With a Republican Congress.
