Nah, this is the kind of thing that gets Democrat leadership animated: stuff that barely affects voters.

As if the billionaire would do the dancing himself.

It's very unlikely to happen. Republicans don't want it to happen while Trump is in office. Democrats don't want it to happen at all; this isn't like a government shutdown - it would be a catastrophe. The only question is what riders will slip in.

Seems legit.

Not brrrrr, more like kssss

Sure, there will always be some number of people who support whatever evil shit he does, but it's nowhere near half. Hopefully, the things he's doing will activate people who normally tune out, because this is getting very serious, along with the people who did support him but are getting disillusioned. As ridiculous as it seems, their presence at town halls shows that, for some reason, a lot of people trusted him not to do this shit when they voted for him.

I want to agree with you, but why can't he? The courts aren't saying, "You can send these people to El Salvador because immigrants have fewer rights." The courts are saying, "They have rights, you can't send them there," and his admin is ignoring them. What's to stop an attempt to deport citizens?

I don't want to be blackpilled, but public backlash hasn't amounted to enough. Hopefully a greater public backlash will matter, but it seems like people don't recognize how dire the situation really is.

What they don't seem to realize is that Mangione himself isn't all that important. Whether they kill him or successfully vilify him, in a few years people won't be thinking about the man himself all that much. Their continued hardship will be what they think about, and as long as it's the capital class's fault, the anger will keep growing.

My doctor told me "You need to stop masturbating." "Why?" "Because I'm trying to give you an exam."

Anyone who is going to listen to Elon Musk's daughter already knows it was a nazi salute.

From what I've heard, none of them have been confirmed to be gang members, and around half have been confirmed to not be gang members.

Immigrants are being loaded onto planes and shipped off to places they probably won't return from - without having even been accused of a crime, much less tried in court. Supporters of the president don't care because they're immigrants.

Now swap "immigrants" with "jews", "planes" with "trains", and "president" with "chancellor", and what do you get?

You mean you don't love having your direction changed all the time?

With all those legal checks in place, ignoring the constitution is gonna be tough...

Why does this kind of depth not make it into their games anymore?

Rhetorical question, we all know why.

Bannon placed second in a CPAC strawpoll

My first thought: That'd be great, there's no way he'd win

My second thought: Democrats would find a way.

Whether or not taking Elon Musk's money becomes toxic to a campaign is an existential issue for US democracy. Another existential issue, that is.

Whoopsie, looks like we ignored your ruling!

This judge is being disrespectful!

Pick one, asshats.

"All the conman did was take his money. You made him feel stupid."

Don't remember who that quote was from, and that's certainly not the exact quote, but I always liked it. If it rings a bell for anyone, I'd like to know.

Edit: CW: Reddit. It was David Frum, apparently. In spite of that I still like the quote.

I really don't think it's any deeper than "me good king, make kingdom bigger."
