We'll have to ask his son since that's who he, as a god-fearing christian, discusses his porn with.

I feel sadly we're not far from another George Floyd-like tragedy. Seeing the video of the agents on top of this guy, and them punching him in the face while he's planted against the pavement, it's really hard not to think that's where we're headed. The piss-poor treatment this man's purportedly received according to his one son since being taken into custody though just further roils me. Heard him on TV saying his dad still had blood on his shirt and his injuries hadn't been treated at all. His father told him he was being held in like a cage with like 60 other people with just a single toilet and they were barely receiving and food or water. What they're doing to these people is just freaking barbaric! It's third world shit. It's no wonder they're blocking members of congress from having unannounced access to these holding facilities.

Trump whining about Canada's Digital Services tax.  He's lucky Canada hasn't stopped oil exports to us.

So criminals are catching on that they can impersonate other criminals to commit other crimes...

I just brushed over it, but I wouldn't be surprised if these brothers voted for Trump. 

I work at a nonprofit and there we have a lot of Hispanic people who weren't born in the US or their parents weren't ... almost 90 percent of them said they planned to vote for Trump last year, this includes the women. It seems there was a lot of "well, I got mine and my so-and-so isn't a criminal so I'm good."

I saw a video about Russia rehabilitating Stalin last week. It's so weird how Russians just accept the changes to that, or about anything. One person was like, "sometimes you have to do challenging things that hurt some people in order to make society better." 

I'd like to think that Americans are in general more vaccinated against such forms of thought policing, but reality itself is hard to gauge nowadays.

No? Just wait for the backlash to this administration next election.  People are going to be so anxious to rid themselves of DJT & his ilk, that they'll vote for just about anyone without totally vetting them as long as they say the right things.

I’m still of the belief that I expect Rupert Murdoch will croak before 2028 and when that happens, there will be a lot of changes not to how the GOP acts, but how effectively they can deny, deflect, and distract.

A lot of this boils down to the information machine the conservatives have built.

It's going to take a long time, if ever, to stop wondering if the majority of people around me are one of the three type of trump voters: Idiots, Assholes or Lunatics. I live in a state that gave him more than 60% of the vote last time and a country that gave him more than half. I've really lost any sort of faith that Americans have wised up or are even paying attention (which it seems most of them really aren't). If DJT isn't there, what's to stop the next authoritarian opportunist to find that sore to poke that fires up people to go to the voting booth and punch themselves in the teeth and be happy about it?

We're going to be stuck with future president-kings because of the supreme court, whose composition is probably not going to change for a very long time. Righwing and Social Media are still going to be allowed to spread disinfo and propaganda due to "freedom of speech." Nobody is willing to put limits on AI, which is just going to keep blurring reality and fiction. Plus, a lot of the MAGA goons and billionaire sycophants are going to still be in the House and Senate for years to come. On top of that, there's no real will to do anything about it, just a bunch of people who think "we should've done that first!"

I just might be having one of those days.
