www.forbes.com Americans Believe Russian Disinformation ‘To Alarming Degree’
A third of Americans have fallen for Russian disinformation as well as other false online claims about health, elections and international conflict.
Eh, not quite like this though.
No. As far as I know my kids aren’t apart of any of those groups, yet I already accept them completely anyways.
Our own medicine?
Why wouldn’t he? They’re all assholes; anyone who voted for them are assholes. No forgiveness without reparations. Otherwise, grind them into the dirt - no vote, no power, no voice - they’ve show time and time again they can’t be trusted.
Sounds like someone should find that attacker and do the exact same thing to them, seeing as it’s non-chargeable behavior.
Never made sense to me

Americans Believe Russian Disinformation ‘To Alarming Degree’
Republicans were, though, more likely to believe Russian disinformation claims than their Democratic counterparts, with 57.6% falling for at least one Russian disinformation claim, compared with just 17.9% of Democrats and 29.5% of people who didn't identify with one particular party.
Let me tell you about our liberal options in Kansas…
Nope. They’ve inbred themselves too far into stupidity.
Bingo

I’m past the “I told you so” phase, however I’m also over everyone saying things like “they didn’t know” or “give them another chance”. As far as I’m concerned, they’ve got TWO viable options at this point in time:
- Find a way to fix what they did. It’ll be expensive, and likely violent, but this shitshow is squarely on the heads of the morons who voted for him, for whatever reason they chose to do so. THEY can fix THEIR OWN mistakes; I’m done helping them out.
- Continue to act like they have no ownership, but get the fuck out of the voting population. If they STILL don’t see what the did wrong they’re irredeemable and need to get out of the way. People trying to make them feel better by saying “they didn’t know” or the like aren’t helping fix it, they’re simply giving them cover FOR WHEN THEY DO IT AGAIN. And let’s face it, any dumbass that voted for him AGAIN isn’t going to flip their vote no matter what happens to them personally, so the next best thing is for them to stay home and practice counting to 2.
Sticking your head in the sand and/or choosing to only watch extremely partisan news is indeed “fault of their own”. If they can’t be informed enough to make good decisions, perhaps they should simply refrain from voting altogether.
He’s clearly one of those “I don’t care who you are, you can’t tell ME what to do” types that has NO business being in any position of power.
He’s the BEST at incontinence!
Superpube!
Because I don’t know how to post pictures in the comments. He was executed with a machine gun (probably too quick of a death, but I think they were worried he’d escape again) but afterwards his corpse went on tour where folks were allowed to throw stuff at it, as well as beat the ever loving shit out of him. If you go looking for the pics of the “after” just know they’re not pretty.
I’ve got two; send me my check.

Maybe every election should have trump on the ballot, by law, and we throw those ballots out.
I like most of the stuff you post but this headline feels like broken Russian AI.
I no longer have empathy for the ordinary morons who forced this on the rest of us. I hope they get EXACTLY what they and their rich masters voted for.
Funny, he doesn’t even have to speak anymore for me to have that same urge.
No aid to those MAGAts without severe concessions on their part!
Look up what happened to Mussolini
www.nbcnews.com Judge in Abrego Garcia case indicates she's weighing contempt proceedings against Trump administration
U.S. District Judge Paula Xinis said the administration has done "nothing" to facilitate the return of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, even though court orders have required action by officials.
The longer this drags on the less attention the public will pay, which is the administration’s ultimate goal. Make this happen, maybe another “foreigner”, and then a citizen.
At this point I’m concealed carrying everywhere (legally) so that when it finally does get to folks like me it’ll be comfortable, normal, and AVAILABLE. Because protection sitting at home does you no good.
Fascists are only powerful if they are obeyed.

The military is not a monolith. They are Americans, and other Americans are their family. If ordered to act against American citizens, how many will refuse? How many will obey?

apnews.com Despite a court order, White House bars AP from Oval Office event
The Trump administration has turned a reporter and photographer from The Associated Press away from covering an Oval Office news conference involving President Donald Trump and El Salvador President Nayib Bukele.

Despite a court order, a reporter and photographer from The Associated Press were barred from an Oval Office news conference on Monday with President Donald Trump and his counterpart from El Salvador, Nayib Bukele.
Last week’s federal court decision forbidding the Trump administration from punishing the AP for refusing to rename the Gulf of Mexico was to take effect Monday. The administration is appealing the decision and arguing with the news outlet over whether it needs to change anything until those appeals are exhausted.
The U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. circuit set a Thursday hearing on Trump’s request that any changes be delayed while case is reviewed. The AP is fighting for more access as soon as possible.
Trump, Bukele say they won’t return mistakenly deported man to US
Due process is dead. Protect yourselves.
Trump authorizes military to take control of federal land along US southern border
This seems like something a couple of tyrannical stoners would come up with.
Stoner 1: “So dude, we like need to stop people coming across our borders, but like the courts keep telling us we can’t to that because people have ‘rights’ and stuff.”
Stoner 2: “What if we like made it where they HAD to be all on military land to do it? Not much, just enough so that we can say they did and make the punishments like WAAAAAY worse?
S1: “So like build bases? Wouldn’t that be expensive?”
S2: “Naw man, just like declare it. That way we can can just do whatever we want and not actually have to do anything!”
S1: “Fuck yeah! Lemme send it out on Signal and go grab some Funyuns!”
Supreme Court says Trump administration must facilitate return of deported Maryland man
A bit of good news, but let’s see how Donnie tries to wiggle out of this next. And what happens if he defies the Court.

America’s detractors are right. Americans are too lazy, complacent, and comfortable to act. To do anything to stop this before it gets worse.
I haven't talked politics with my mom in years since I assumed she was still MAGA, but I needed reassurance that both of my parents aren't fascists, so I called her and asked "should the president be able to ignore the constitution" to which I got a "no...?" and "you understand that federal judges ARE allowed to force the president to stop, when he's ignoring the constitution, right?" to which I got a "yes...?" as if I was stupid for asking. She’s an accountant, and has a firmer grasp of economics than most, so I imagine it’s Trump’s tariffs that broke his spell on her, but I digress.
What a relief, because my father answered these questions differently yesterday. This caused a pretty big fight, which he downplayed to her as me just having TDS.
At this point she tried to reassure
www.msnbc.com White House floats deporting U.S. citizens. Justice Sotomayor just warned about that.
Press secretary Karoline Leavitt mentioned potentially deporting American citizens who are violent repeat offenders “if it’s legal.”
When do we wake up?

Trump asks Supreme Court to block order requiring US bring back man mistakenly deported to El Salvador

This is INSANE! Trump is asking the Supreme Court to bless his administration screwing up TO THE POINT THEY CEEDED CUSTODY OF A PERSON THEY DIDN’T HAVE LEGAL CUSTODY OVER and not require them to fix it?
If SCOTUS backs Trump here, literally all is lost. Due process will have NO MEANING if this isn’t fixed ASAP.
Remember, if they did it to this guy the only thing stopping them from doing it to you or me is dumb luck.

If the U.S. were to rewrite all of its laws tomorrow, what are the things that Democrats and Republicans would agree on?
Edit: After reading so many responses, I’d like to clarify - what would Democratic and Republican VOTERS (not politicians) agree on?

Republicans are borrowing 5 trillion dollars and signing your name on the loan.
They are borrowing to enrich themselves and using your future as collateral.
There is an old wife's tale that if given enough food a horse will keep eating until it kills itself.
It is not true, seems animals are smarter than people, or in this case Republican members of congress.
If you haven't been paying attention, congress is about to pass the House tax bill. In short, it calls for 4 1/2 trillion in tax cuts for the wealthy, the uber wealthy, and the already obscenely wealthy.
4 1/2 trillion equates to four thousand five hundred billion dollars, or four and a half million, million dollars.
And where is all this money coming from. you ask? I'll tell you; the House tax bill also calls for raising the debt limit by 5 trillion dollars. In other words, we will borrow the money to pay for tax relief for the rich.

Everyone should read this list of Grievances of the United States Declaration of Independence. It's amazing how many of these things Trump is doing. Use this in arguments and on protest signs.
