I'm not sure what you're going for here, but we desperately *need* a crackdown on SF weirdos running their own drug ops, Neonazis, and alt-right incels etc in the military.

Or do you mean a crackdown of like, normal sane people in the miltary only leaving the wack jobs by design?

Ya know all the times Trump wanted to start bombing Mexico, deploying the military domestically, gunning down protesters en masse and on and on? Every time some of that poo poo dribbled out of his puckered mouth anus someone slow walked it, said "Actually that's super illegal or outright unconstitutional", or leaked it to the press and raised a stink.

All of that poo poo infuriated Donnie Goodbrains. When he farts out some words about the deep state that's what he's talking about.

Those are the people he wants to crack down on so the next time he says Biden needs to be put on trial or what the gently caress ever everybody under him says "Yes".

Assholes like Stephen Miller aren't going to be cracking down on special forces white supremacists and poo poo, they'll be giving out promotions.

They ought to be distracting Trump, like he’s a wild animal, so that minorities have a chance to escape his wrath.

This is where I land. People are going to get hurt. Hurt real loving bad. The living may envy the dead on some of this poo poo. Why are they rolling out the carpet for him? gently caress him, treat him like he is what he is. Don't give him preparatory briefs, don't get his personnel ready for the hand over, don't even turn on the god drat lights for him. loving FIGHT. Every day of chaos that could be bought by stone walling him and his people is one less day this rear end in a top hat has to make more people suffer and die. That's the closest thing to a bright spot we've got going for us, getting through it with minimal damage and dead.

Turn over power because you have to but don't do it with a mother loving smile and the keys to the car. Does anyone at all think Trump was doing any of that poo poo while he was carrying out January 6th? No the gently caress he wasn't and if we have to fight these pigs it isn't going to be won staying clean.

Hope California can sort this one out entirely on their own because we're 11 days out from them being told to, at best, get hosed by any sort of federal responses. At worst, genuinely won't be surprised if he finds a way to actively disrupt recovery efforts to be a spiteful rear end in a top hat somehow.

RIP at the very notion of being able to get insurance coverage for wildfires in California now. This is probably going to be the last nail in the coffin and a mound of quick-drying cement dumped over the grave.

I'm wondering if this is going to kick off the 2008-style financial detonation of the home insurance industry that I figured was going to happen earlier in the year with the hurricanes that were whacking Florida. I still have that on my bingo card for the next four years 'cause climate change gives no fucks and is just now putting down it's beer to get up off the couch and get real. Honestly did think it was going to be a hurricane in Florida that set lit the fuse on that powder keg so egg on my face if it happens here I guess.

Dude's so busy being extremely online with Twitter shitposting that he doesn't even have time to play video games, lol. There was a graph going around showing how much and when he tweets, Musky boi is DEEP in the K-hole shitposting quite literally through the night getting very little if any sleep.

Oh and then there's some baloney about having his money work for him at various companies he cosplays as CEO at but you're a fool if you believe any of that by this point. Once he's done carrying a sink through the lobby for the cameras and PR pieces he goes back to shitposting and stabbing growth hormones into his rear end again.

Does your average schlub on the street need to know it? No cause it is a bit of a wonk question.

When you're looking for nomination to a secretary position for an organization that does a lot of international diplomacy work the rubric changes a little bit.

Reporting in from dadland and can confirm that so many dummies think that 1) WWII is all wars, 2) that the US won WWII by itself, 3) that ARE TROOPS won WWII solely through sheer tactical genius and badassery and not an endless line of gas, bullets, and shoes stretching from nebraska to Berlin and Okinowa and that 4) we totally would have won every war since 1945 if only The Politicians had let the military do its job.

Hmm, military losses being explained by a myth about being stabbed in the back. That sounds familiar.

There isn't an infinite-money, literally endless AI-produced stream of surgically targeted, algorithmically perfected propaganda on every imaginable medium of information championing leftist goals and outcomes while simultaneously painting the enemy as baby raping pedophile sex ritual Satan worshipping adrenochrome chugging triple commie mega-Hitler socialist pinkos.

They're going to lose every time they try to improve things just like they'll lose every time they don't try to improve things because half the voting population of the country will never even hear about either outcome in their media bubble and everyone outside that bubble still has to swim through the social waters of a country polluted by that omnipresent messaging.

Sadly paywalled on WaPo but CDC, NIH etc have been told to stop all public communication.

This includes CDC's morbidity and mortality weekly reports, which are one of the best conduits of information on emerging infection numbers and used by clinicians / public health officials. In the face of a potential bird flu outbreak, this is the dumbest and most nonsensical thing you could do. Like, this is dumber than anything I can think of that was done during covid for public health strategy. If birdflu starts spreading between humans, this will cost lives, for absolutely no reason and make something that we can very very easily contain and control, into an actual problem.

*shrug* It's the fascist playbook. We've already crossed the line into the feedback loop. People on all sides don't expect the system as it stands to fix problems, it hasn't for over half a century at this point, and a lot of people take that expectation then run in the direction of anger at the powerless with it. gently caress everything and everyone up, let people die and become immiserated. It doesn't hurt the fascists politically. It gives them more power as the people suffering get angrier at whatever outgroup the propaganda targets that day and demand more and more societally destabilizing measures to punish them, making everything worse, making the fascist adherents angrier and demanding more extreme measures, round and round she goes.

*shrug* last time their mismanagement in this area killed over a million americans. I think its worth a mention.

I'll cop to that sounding more rear end in a top hat-ish than intended. I read this thread for this kind of content and appreciate it. Just not expecting any kind of public outrage or marching in the streets protest about any of it this time. It's normal now that the president fires off blanket pardons for violent cop-killing insurrectionists. A million more can die from whatever we're cooking up next with a warming climate and we're just, kinda, going to accept it. That's how things are now. FOX will spin up the hate machine and blame the perfidious Dems for it or what the gently caress ever and round and round we'll go.

It should be ignored because it's not how he'll get a third term if he's still alive and coherent. It'll be "a state of emergency", most people and institutions will do nothing to stop it, and the few that do will get murdered in broad daylight by a pack of Proud Boys brownshirts.

I'm firmly of the belief that only death will spare us a third Trump term. There's nothing and no one left to push back against what he wants. If he's alive and can get over the Earth's-mantle-level bar of coherent enough to still want it, anyone left in a position that could stop him won't and they'll just give it to him.

You can’t do poo poo about the actual cultists. They’d die happy if he trampled them to death reaching for a hamberder. But the less crazy Republicans and dumbass “undecided” voters will actually be feeling buyers remorse this time. But it might very well be too late to avoid Donnie completely destroying the country.

There was a pretty fair amount of buyer's remorse in the country January 7th when we were collectively still reeling from a violent insurrection in the capitol.

It lasted, what, 48 hours? Now they're out on the streets planning more violence. This, too, shall be normalized by propaganda.

RFK's AIDS denialism is being hammered repeatedly during his confirmation. Of course, the monkey's paw is closing on that one as it's probably going to end up being a point in his favor with Republicans.

Filtering stuff from the D&D thread, apparently the DoJ purge has begun. January 6th prosecutors are out, identifying any that have displeased the fuhrer are up next. Estimates are running as high as 12% of federal prosecutors.
