This is terrifying. These “Constitutional sheriffs” are fascistic petty tyrants who believe they’re accountable to nobody. And their wingnut “posses,” hopped up on conspiracy theories, are gonna harass and intimidate voters. Or worse.

Entertaining as it may be, I'm not sure Trump's narcissistic injuries should really be a central focus of the first of his trials on dozens of felony charges. #TrumpIndicment #media #trump #maga

Marjorie Taylor Greene gets destroyed by Professor Timothy #Snyder regarding her lies about #Ukraine and #Russia.
Those of us of a certain age remember when #rawmilk used to be a thing of crunchy hippies. Much like #antivax nonsense as well.
Of course, the antivax crowd are mostly #MAGA types nowadays, and, guess what? MAGA recently went gaga over raw milk.

“I serve with some real scumbags. Matt Gaetz, he paid minors to have sex with him at drug parties. Bob Good endorsed my opponent, a known neo-Nazi. These people used to walk around with white hoods at night, now they are walking around with white hoods in the daytime”

I find it interesting that American news orgs are comfortable referring to European lawmakers as “pro-Russia” or “pro-Kremlin” but when #MAGA chuds spout undiluted Russian #propaganda and run interference for #Putin at every turn they’re called “isolationists.”

Republicans were always, on some level, #MAGA: “Republicans didn’t purge the white supremacists & antisemites in the 1960’s. I think there’s a real danger in 2024 of nostalgizing the 20C conservative movement as “responsible,”respectable” & “about ideas.” The same features of what became of MAGAism were embedded in the movement from the very beginning, & were broadly tolerated by conserv. elites even if they found them to be slightly distasteful.” #GOPRacists #GOPFascists https://www.salon.com/2024/04/20/a-prehistory-of-maga-mainstream-conservatives-never-really-purged-the-fascists/
i spend my time mocking #MAGA and #vatniks
but due to recent news, i'm going to point some vitriol at another audience right now:
criticize #Israel govt / #Netanyahu all you want. 100% ok
but any #antisemitism or hatred of #Judaism / #Jews makes you a pathetic piece of sh**
change, douchebag
you're as #fascist as MAGA
and some more bile for some others:
criticize #Hamas all you want
but any hate for #Palestinians, and you too are a fascist #bigot
it's a f***ing shame i have to say this
I have to get my dad’s house cleaned out, which is gonna cost thousands of dollars. This guy showed up to pitch his services in a truck covered in fuck Joe #Biden and related stickers and it cost him real money. I’m sure it’s not the first time.
That’s your work truck, dude, and you service a county where #Trump got 36% of the vote.
These people are really not smart. #maga

#ClarenceThomas wrote a concurring opinion on #Trump’s #immunity that delved into the separate & unasked question of whether AG #MerrickGarland violated the #Constitution when he appointed #SpecialCounsel #JackSmith in Nov 2022 to oversee the 2 federal prosecutions of Trump.

ignorant petty cruel
not even some grand political strategy. this is simply who they are and what they do. this is all they know of existence. what calls to them. what fills them with purpose and meaning: weak schoolyard bullying
so fucking pathetic:
"Pronouns and tribal affiliations are now forbidden in #SouthDakota public university employee emails"
did anyone tell these geniuses what "dakota" means?

How gullible do Trump's footmen think his #MAGA base is? Judge them by their conspiracy theories. https://www.cnn.com/2024/06/11/media/pro-trump-media-hunter-biden-conviction
“White Crowds Fill the Pews for Trump’s Visit to Black Church”

"Dumb bigot" is redundant. These people both buy into the far-right's racist conspiracy theories and also always believe that they'll get away with this shit. There are a lot of stupid, gullible people with anger control issues in this country so we see this happening every day.
We'll see how effective stirring them up proves to be as a political strategy.

#Democrats seek to repeal #Comstock #abortion rule, fearing #Trump crackdown
Democrats are seeking to overhaul an 1873 federal #law that #bans abortion-related materials from being sent through the mail, worried that a future Trump admin could invoke the #ComstockAct to crack down on #AbortionAccess or effectively #ban the procedure altogether.

I overpaid significantly for some put options on Trump's meme stock and I'm feeling pretty good about it now.

Takes an impressive lack of self-awareness to refer to "true patriots" defecting to a hostile adversary cuz the gays are icky.
Anyway, let me know if you see a GoFundMe to help with their travel costs.
No leopard has ever eaten someone’s face quite as voraciously as this.
Great job pushing back on that whole weird thing guys.
It's nice to be on holiday and have the time to pull my thoughts together.
This time I'm writing on an acute subject:
You may be wondering why there seems to be no counterbalance to #trump #maga and other #populist right-wing movements across the #west?
I place my lens upon a critical misunderstanding of "virtue signalling" as something bad - not a basic human need - by contemporary #left
Enjoy!
