  • Supreme Court justices tell Congress their safety is at risk and more must be spent on security

    Jump

  • Have they tried not actively undermining democracy so that people aren’t dreaming of guillotines? Have they studied history like at all?

    There’s a clear solution here, and it’s as simple as caring about the people they’re meant to serve.

  • Lawsuit claims Meta's layoff decisions were made by AI, not humans

    Jump

  • Malicious and stupid aren’t mutually exclusive, but stupid often leads.

  • Lawsuit claims Meta's layoff decisions were made by AI, not humans

    Jump

  • I think it’s simpler than that. They believed their own AI PR bullshit, huffed their own farts, and management thought they could get paid more to do less, offloading decisions.

    Don’t ascribe to malice that which can be explained by stupidity.

  • Johnson Says Pentagon Needs More Money for ‘Fighting Communism on Our Own Shores’

    Jump

  • Yeah, because the real threat today isn’t fascism having taken over government, or christian nationalism, or billionaires bleeding us dry and stripping our rights. Nope. It’s the red menace. All those communists who we all know in real life, who [checks notes]… oh wait… do not actually exist meaningfully in government.

    Also, Bigfoot is coming for your children. Better watch out! 🙄

    e: don’t get me wrong, I wish leftism was a real threat to fascism in the US, but it’s just not yet.

  • White House says there'd be 'no better addition' to Mount Rushmore than Trump ahead of 250 celebration

    Jump

  • Others in this administration are not stupid. Trump is not the one masterminding plans. He does whatever the last or loudest person in his ear tells him to do.

    Also, it’s very important not to underestimate the power of stupidity and incompetence to fuck society.

    Seriously, read this short article and tell me you can’t easily supplant trump’s name everywhere and it’s not uncanny:

    Hitler Was Incompetent and Lazy—and His Nazi Government Was an Absolute Clown Show.

    Plenty of first-person sources in the book.

    Even if trump dropped dead today, this fascist movement wouldn’t stop. He’s a carnival barker and a genuine moron, chosen because he’s a social wrecking ball. But don’t mistake his blundering for 3d chess.

  • Early Borg vessel prototypes

    Jump

  • Wanted a design here for the Companion Cube. One of them is close, and it would be so appropriate.

    And now my head canon includes the companion cube and GladOS being what eventually evolves into the Borg.

  • White House says there'd be 'no better addition' to Mount Rushmore than Trump ahead of 250 celebration

    Jump

  • These aren’t distractions.

    For one thing, he’s not that clever. There’s no plan to distract you. You’re giving him far too much credit.

    For another, he really is this this big an idiot. He’s blundering through the government like a big fat toddler, just breaking shit at random. Stop making it sound like he’s a mastermind. What he’s doing is more dangerous than a plan, because nobody has defenses against this.

  • White House says there'd be 'no better addition' to Mount Rushmore than Trump ahead of 250 celebration

    Jump

  • You know what? Why the fuck not?

    Why not add a rapist criminal conman who is actively destroying society to the most egregious symbol of cultural and societal destruction that is the project that took a sacred location and desecrated it as a monument to elite white male colonialism and the seizing of culture?

    Seems fitting to me.

  • White House deletes photos of sparse State Fair turnout after Trump pitches a fit: report

    Jump

  • They’re Temu Nazis.

  • Democratic socialist Melat Kiros defeats 15-term incumbent in Colorado House primary

    Jump

  • Both sides are the same. Fascism, not fascism. Social empathy, sociopathy, it’s all the same.

    Don’t vote. Don’t try to change anything. Why bother. Just wallow in propaganda, it’s easier.

  • A judge demanded Trump’s name come down from the Kennedy Center. Now, he wants to know why tarps block the view

    Jump

  • They probably haven’t told him yet, because he’s fragile.

  • Trump angrily cancels signing housing bill over voter ID ‘national emergency’

    Jump

  • So far.

    Also, I hope you’re right.

  • Evidence shows Trump admin caused Reflecting Pool damage it blamed on sabotage: ex-insider

  • We’ve not lost sight of those atrocities.

    We on Lemmy are capable of thinking about multiple things at a time. Sounds weird, I know.

  • Why does Obama keep shitting trump’s pants? It’s been like 10 years. Isn’t he bored of it yet?

    SAD!

  • How an Addictive Gas Station Drug Found Allies in Trump’s Cabinet

    Jump

  • it really feels like a death cult maybe operating inside the government.

    Not maybe – is. They’re not hiding it. It’s going under-reported because it sounds insane, but they really believe this. It’s part of why they’re cutting funding and programmes related to the climate crisis. It’s not that they don’t think it’s real; more that they think that’s part of their accelerationism.

    A bunch of senators including Mike Johnson were in Israel last year for a big ceremony doing a practice run for their planned red cow sacrifice that’s meant to usher in the apocalypse. The Heritage Foundation believes in this shit, and it’s behind a lot of Project 2025.

    They’re nuts, and they’re serious about this. They’ll happily kill us all in their pursuit of this.

  • [The Nipple Documents!] Inside Trump’s White House, the Epstein Files Caused a Freakout - The New York Times

    Jump

  • And let’s be clear about all of these reports:

    Trump is notoriously litigious. He sues everyone for perceived public slights against him.

    But he’s never tried to sue these women. Why? Because discovery is a thing, and he knows the evidence against him is ironclad and on video. Because Epstein kept the receipts. That’s why a failing loser who was barely literate was able to be a ‘financier’. He was no ‘financier’. He was good at getting secret videos of people in power. He was a blackmailer, and whomever has those videos after his ‘suicide’ (when trump was in charge of the DOJ) may be concerned there are copies.

  • [The Nipple Documents!] Inside Trump’s White House, the Epstein Files Caused a Freakout - The New York Times

    Jump

  • ‘Nipple document’ is a misnomer. There are no nipples in this. The pedo added his clan-rally signature as pubes. This is a ‘pubes document’.

    Also fuck them for making me think ‘trump’ and ‘nipples’ at the same time.
