  • FBI arrests judge in escalation of Trump immigration enforcement effort

  • Again, I never said they weren't causing harm. You're conflating the concepts of aid and beneficence.

    Trump and his ilk being in power is not beneficial to the country, but their sheer stupidity in attempting to achieve their goals aids their opposition in stopping them.

  • I didn't say they were harmless. I said their incompetence only helps their opposition.

    The Nazis were more competent and still lost. How would being less competent than that help them in any way?

  • And why is that a problem? It sounds like a hindrance to them, which is a definite good thing.

  • Fascist-enabling media billionaires get sidelined because their fascist leaders have no loyalty? Who could have seen that one coming?

    An important figure in nationalist politics in Germany during the first three decades of the twentieth century, Alfred Hugenberg became the country's leading media proprietor during the 1920s. As leader of the German National People's Party, he played a part in helping Adolf Hitler become chancellor of Germany and served in his first cabinet in 1933, hoping to control Hitler and use him as his tool. The plan failed, and by the end of 1933 Hugenberg had been pushed to the sidelines.

    Oh. Right.

  • Yep. Poilievre, Brexit, Meloni, AFD, just off the top of my head.

  • That was for his second term.

    His first opponent was former governor Matt Bevin, who is a whole other piece of MAGA trash.

    Edit: one interesting thing about their mobile app is when you use the GPS for directions, it changes where the audio comes from depending on what your next direction is. If your next is "turn left" then the instructions come from your left-side car audio.

    Turns out, the wealthy buying up media to spread right-wing talking points to enable fascism in the face of progressivism is yet another way in which the modern Republican party is just a copy of their National Socialist ancestors.

  • Actually, it's the billionaires and temporarily-embarrasses billionaires, against the rest of us.

  • Musk wants to leave politics because he’s tired of ‘attacks’ from the left: report

  • Okay, but how do you really feel?

  • David Hogg ignited a ‘circular firing squad’ inside the DNC - POLITICO

  • Oh, well if the Axel-Springer-owned POLITICO is upset about this, it must be a good thing.

  • Angry, disappointed users react to Bluesky's upcoming blue check mark verification system

    Jump

  • I didn’t sound like a centralized system from the article. More like they want a third party like Verisign or something.

    It's going to be both. Bluesky will verify users, but they're also going to have other authorized verification entities.

    From what I've seen, there will be two distinct types of blue check- users verified by Bluesky will have one mark, and users verified by a trusted authority will have a different mark.

    Now who will those third-party verifiers be, and how will they be selected, hasn't been announced yet.

  • For now, Pentagon and DHS won’t recommend that Trump invoke the Insurrection Act

    Jump

  • I can't imagine there's not already a court ready to slap them with an injunction on the grounds that a "foreign invasion" is not a "domestic insurrection".

  • Trump fumes that he ‘can’t even go after’ January 6 investigators pardoned by Biden

  • I don't disagree, but are they acting like they think they'll never be out of power again?

  • Trump fumes that he ‘can’t even go after’ January 6 investigators pardoned by Biden

  • Which is weird, given that he's already ignoring the Constitution with regards to due process, that he wouldn't just ignore it even more regarding pardons.

  • James Carville says he might sue ‘contemptible little twerp’ David Hogg for challenging incumbent Democrats

    Jump

  • Because most of us aren’t here to be Democrats, we’re here to make the country a better place and some of the calls are coming from inside the house.

    Alternatively, "because the Democratic leadership has consistently shown its failure to meet the moment and that fresh voices are needed. Furthermore, the leadership is failing to advocate for policies that have widespread support among Americans such as forcing the wealthy to pay what they owe in taxes and healthcare for all regardless of income level. Also y'all just too damn old."
