  • Johnson says House Republicans will investigate Jan. 6 committee

    Jump

  • That seems like a lot of extra work when we could all just die in a nuclear holocaust trying to stop the Democrats from sending more hurricanes.

  • Committees all the way down. Committee-ception. Right to the depths of Hell.

  • Nancy Pelosi ‘Actively Working to Tank’ AOC’s Committee Bid

    Jump

  • Correct. This is why there is essentially zero chance at political reform in this country without large scale violence. Granted, that violence will almost certainly be misdirected, but I think given the actual state of the system it truly is a forgone conclusion that we will see mass civil unrest within the next (~20) years.

  • Oh man I'm really sorry to hear that, is the floor doing alright!?

  • Donald Trump’s New Admin Weighs ‘How Much Should We Invade Mexico?’

    Jump

  • All the tech and loose ROEs in the world cannot kill an idea.

    I'm not entirely sure what you mean by this? It seems to me like you are saying that cartels are somehow engaged in an ideological war, and I don't really see any evidence of that. Can you elaborate further?

  • Donald Trump’s New Admin Weighs ‘How Much Should We Invade Mexico?’

    Jump

  • If the cartels start openly fighting back on U.S. soil, this administration will immediately change the rules of engagement to shooting anybody who physically approaches the U.S. border overnight. I'm talking literally within hours. This is exactly what they want. They are looking for any excuse they can use to leverage support from border states in deploying automated defense systems.

    There is no scenario where the cartels engaging in insurgency on U.S. soil does not result in immediate shock and awe military tactics in response. There will be no more consideration for civilian deaths. Anybody within shooting distance of the border will be designated as an enemy combatant. That's what will happen. Make no mistake about it.

  • Trump’s eldest son emerges as key voice influencing cabinet picks – report

  • No, not at all. However the absolutely insane breadth of schizo ass picks we have seen sure tracks with that Don Jr. cokehead energy.

  • He is a snake, and an institutional elite. Fuck all of that.

  • Senate Republicans choose John Thune as their new leader, replacing McConnell

    Jump

  • I upvoted you because of the hardcoded pessimism in me, but I think the reality is a bit more complex.

    Everyone directly in the Trump family loyalist orbit obviously wants permanent hegemonic control of the Executive branch. However, the bro-ligarchs really want President VC "Vulture Capital" Vance at the helm. From their perspective this has been a Trojan Horse operation the entire time. The Senate leaders want to maintain power, and they are all thinking of their own long term political careers. Who knows what the fucking House GOP wants because it is filled with reality television freaks at this point, so their opinions don't really even matter anymore.

    The interests of these different factions may be publicly aligned from a PR perspective, but behind the scenes I can assure you that it is going to be a fucking gladiatorial circus of quietly slitting each others throats in order to maintain power for many different diametrically opposed groups that owe fealty to their own wealthy benefactors.

    If we learned anything from the first four years of Donald Trump it is that he has a short fuse, a tremendous inability to rally long term support from even the most sycophantic cucks in his orbit, and that eventually the shit starts seeping out from behind the drywall whether they want it to or not. All will not be well in the kingdom of fools for long....

  • Special counsel Jack Smith and his team to resign before Trump takes office

    Jump

  • I understand the sentiment, but it will never happen. Killing "Whites", especially whites named "Jack Smith" is bad for optics. Now Letitia James and Fani Willis is another story entirely. If I was either one of them I'd be getting my ass on a plane to someplace with a non-extradition treaty post haste.

  • Senate Republicans choose John Thune as their new leader, replacing McConnell

    Jump

  • Thune is at least a proponent of NATO, and supporter of Ukraine in so far as it repels Russian aggression in the region. So at least we know the mandate in the Senate for the moment.

    I wouldn't go anywhere near saying he was a good choice, but he was the least bad choice of the three options by a country fucking mile.

  • If they have a point it’s because they manufactured it.

    I'm not sure I entirely follow where you are going with this. My assumption is that you mean by them supporting the path of least resistance to the potential downfall and assumed reorientation of the economic/political system that the only points they have are a result of self-fulfilling prophecy. In which case, I guess I kind of agree because this is somewhat the same from a conceptual standpoint as the Evangelicals who think that every bad thing that happens is a sign of ushering in the rapture and therefore them getting their duty free pass to heaven. The accelerationists obviously have a more cogent point I would argue since it is based around a materialist philosophy at its core, but I generally agree that it is still misguided none the less...

    Personally I’m too stubborn to just roll over and give up. That’s what they want. Don’t give them that satisfaction.

    Yeah, I hear ya. I try to keep that stoic mentality that the mission hasn't changed just because the circumstances have. It is just annoying to always feel like you can so clearly see the issues coming from a million miles away, and yet with all of the advancements we have made society still manages to hit the iceberg anyway.

    Get involved at the local and state levels. Those are our easiest avenues to affect change going forward.

    My personal life has evolved over the last year in a way that this has actually become possible, so I have been intellectualizing on how to actually do this effectively now that the proverbial other shoe has dropped this week. I am heavily considering how I can utilize my voice & my life path in a way that is politically expedient and does some real material good in the world that's for fuck sure.

    And over the next 4 years hope a halfway decent candidate that puts the people and worker protections at the top of their list of issues to run on and support the hell out of them. Or if you’re eligible, run yourself. I’d happily support an average citizen running for their peers.

    One can only hope that through the madness it becomes a centralizing force that perhaps effectuates the rising of a new breed of stronger, more voracious, and aggressive leftist candidates who leave behind the PC culture virtue signaling communication strategies in favor of something more akin to Bernie Sanders & Noam Chomsky mixed with Eminem & Immortal Technique. Until the left is willing to shake up the cultural hegemony of institutionalist thinking in favor of some more militant rhetoric we are going to continue getting curb stomped in the information war. It is time to lose the civility, put on the fucking plate carrier, and treat these right wing hack commentators with maximum intellectual disrespect in my view.
