        I wouldn’t say I’m comfortable, exactly. I agree it is the proper reading-between-the-lines, and it’s very awkward. Actually, down right terrifying.

          We need to be doing everything legally possible right now to get him the fuck out. That’s what I’ll say.

              I actually heard it succinctly explained by Graham Plattner the other day (I think on The Daily podcast), and I’ll probably muck it up but: When people aren’t given the power to bring change the right way within the system because the billionaires have rigged it for themselves, it makes that small percentage of people who are naturally inclined towards violence to take matters into their own hands.

              That’s why we’re seeing an increase in stochastic violence. It’s not some organized resistance cell, but just a random dude who maybe would’ve committed other crimes at a different time that picks up a rifle and tries to solve what he sees as the biggest problem facing him today.

          They’re going to rise up for sure after the mid-terms are stolen, and then after the next general is stolen, and then…

            HEY this is the regime’s fifth to last chance! They better not do it 6 more times or else we’ll start to mobilize a few years after their 7th time.

      He already did that a while ago. NSPM-7 is nothing new, neither is repeatedly ignoring court orders, trying to overthrow the 2020 election, or personally enriching himself to the tune of billions of dollars using the power of the government he runs.

    Tyrants don’t come to power by mandating submission. They come to power by criminalizing dissent.

    Authoritarianism is an admission of abject weakness.

    White supremacists are the weakest and most brittle snowflakes.

    Sounds unconstitutional. He’s promising to persecute people for their protected first amendment activities.

    Thanks to the supreme court it doesn’t matter though, as nationwide injunctions are forbidden.

    Secular does not mean what most of these assholes think it means, by the way. Way too many act like it’s a synonym for “atheist”.

    Just because a person or an org has not chosen to wear their chosen lifestyle on their sleeve does not make it the equivalent atheist.

    Most of life is “secular”, FFS.

    What the conservatives do the English language is as infuriating as so many other things they do. Often it starts with their perversion of terms and phrases.

      They know what it means, they are leaving room for violent christian political groups. They have already declared violent Islamic organizations as evil so by saying “secular” they literally mean any group that does not declare themselves as christian.

    Im right here … try me.

    The US sucks ass right now, we need to tax the billionaires back down to millionaires. We need to get money out of politics and punish the corrupt. If it cant be done through legal channels then do it with guillotines.

    Also …something something what about the Epstein files?
