    This reality is a strange blend of Idiocracy and 1984. It’s really hard to imagine describing the way things are now to an adult in the 1980s. The GOP being so in love with the Russians is something else, given the depth of all the anti Russian propaganda during the 60s, 70s, 80s and 90s it’s crazy we ended up here.

        You’re actually right. Newsmax is still beholden to the law and has been taken to task over their bullshit.

        The troubling is this is Trump signaling the right wing media that it’s ok to go even harder.

    The Fake News losers at CNN immediately tried to fact check it, but President Trump was right (as usual).

    That’s real. That’s a real life quote from the real life, official white house website. “Wtaf” is an understatement here.

    This is going to seem unrelated, but I wish my fellow countrymen didn’t have a virtually unlimited appetite for finding out.

    Can we take the time to acknowledge that the phrase “fake news losers at cnn” was used in an official executive white house release? This is on par with the release they put out a couple weeks ago that spelled “executive” as ecexutive” 🥴🤡 America is cooked.

        I knew it was going to be a wild ride 9 years ago the first time the democrats moved mountains to sabotage sanders at every turn in an effort to prevent any administration that would resemble FDR from gaining power effectively handing trump the win which was their preference to moving even a millimeter to the left on policy. I mean instead of listening to the working class this time they instead decided to move further right and court conservatives with endorsements from the cheng family, george bush and others. Neo Liberalism has pushed class dictatorship so far down our throats and ultimately led to this full on fascist decline we are in. It is obvious to anyone with a functioning cerebral cortex that the system will not allow us to remedy it through the mechanisms of the system and the only option we now have is a revolution and class warfare which has been waged against us relentlessly for the last 5-6 decades.

    They’re not turning mice ‘trans’; they’re turning science into a circus for political clowns.

      Trump got mad that people tried to fact check his claim that Biden spent millions on turning the mice trans. Then the Whitehouse officially released this at a rebuttal of the fact checks.

      “Transgenic” is the actual word from those studies. As in, genetically altered. Because they were researching genetic causes and treatments for diseases.

      But fuck it, transgender mice, whatever.

        The first couple links they provide are for studying immune responses of mice that have undergone hormone replacement or gonadectomies.

        Still it’s not the same as their claims. There’s not even close to a trillion dollars there.

        They’re expecting people to see buzzwords and jump on their hate bandwagon. Sadly, they are.

        Why shouldn’t we do medicine for all humans to protect the whole herd and safeguard the core of society?

        From the times of India article: “studies referenced in the document had no connection to gender identity alterations in animals.”

      well, we created a system of social cohesion and coordination so strongly based on obedience to authority and staying in your lane that the authority doesn’t actually have to make sense or serve us for us to obey.

      in fact, they don’t even need to acknowledge material reality. they can live completely, entirely, in their delusional ketamine fueled fantasy worlds, and we will still be killed for disobedience, no matter how mad and irrational their commands get. such a shame there’s no alternative.

      I think what I find the most upsetting (not really, but that’s just the phrase), is just how unhinged it all is. If you sat me down, made it my job to come up with content like this, and gave me a full think tank of people… I could never come up with something this stupid.

      You think you know right? You think there are limits to stupidity. You’ve met many people in your life, some smarter than others. You’ve read the news, you see what people do, you see how they react. You’re able to see just how stupid people can be.

      There has to be a bottom. Then, oh look, a new and deeper hole.

      It’s just absolutely wild that anyone could look at something like this and go, “Yeah, a well functioning human adult put that together.”

    Can someone check my math? I’m estimating Trumps first term tax cuts saved the top 1% at least $100b durning his first term. Trump is complaining about less than $9m being spent here. $9m is 0.009% of $100b. Did I get that all right?
