Do we think jeffw is the editor of lgbtqnation? They’re flooding the community with this source day after day. I’d’ve hoped @news had a higher standard… it’s not news that Lauren Bobert is racist.

Who is it the author says called her a racist? Nobodies on Twitter. We as readers need to respect our time and attention and downvote this junk food reporting. We owe it to ourselves.

We have gods in America. No other way to describe billionaires with unending resources that can be pointed at whatever whim they want, coupled with no consequences for anything they do.

It’s seeming like a tide of unthinkability bias is awashing the country. Maybe there’s a better word for the phenomenon where one just can’t contemplate what could be a really bad problem. Or if one can, ‘oh but [the grim outcome] is so far down the road…’

Really frustrated with all the white cis lawmakers in my state that decided to ban every weapon that performs better than grandpa’s deer rifle. We’re going to be purged.

Just so we’re all calling a spade a spade, tea party roots = Koch roots

It’s hard when living in a panopticon. Even the smallest PDs have thermal drones, night vision, fully automatic weapons, ALPRs, facial recognition, security cameras tracking you from the nextdoor neighbor’s Ring to the network of cameras at every turn in a population center. Anyone that tries to make the world a better place in that way also throws away their own life. And that’s if you never use a computer.

Right now, the best use of the second amendment is keeping some weapon in a safe until the purges begin. Things Christian Nationalists have already put into the record:

Day 1 Trump becomes a dictator; Day 1 insurrection act martial law; Replace the DOJ and FBI with loyalists to go weaponize them against the presidents “enemies;” His non-followers are vermin instead of Americans; “We are domestic terrorists” banner at CPAC;

Every authoritarian I can think of has tried to purge a population. It’s a way more common occurrence in human history than democracy. It’s just this time the recently unmasked fascists in Silicon Valley already know what every American’s political beliefs are.

Sorry to ‘actually’ this. I think what you’re referring to was a look back at disgraced general Flynn rather than a look forward .

Comparing apples and oranges here: the case at hand was prosecuted by the Swiss; the one you linked was adjudicated in the UK.

Why might that be? I ask as someone who doesn’t follow the court until it crosses my eyeline, as with this article.
