I'm being informed that we are still fucked.
Everyone's talking about Bobby Brainworms and fluoride, and the other monsters he's appointing just to troll us, but here's what's been keeping me up at night: the Fox Nazi war-crimes-enthusiast Secretary...

@jwz He said he was going to do exactly this on FoX News itself. I thought they were going to use SCOTUS and Congress to do it. I really had hope there for a second it wouldn't be the people voting for it.
This is exactly what we voted for. If he doesn't do this, then his campaign promises were lies. It looks like he's every intention of doing it.

@jwz Shocking how much denial there is about how fucked we are. Blind luck is the only thing preventing blood in the streets.

I've been saying for days, there will be a military coup. Which, in this case, I think will be a good thing.

@jwz I dunno, I'm just a dumb Canadian but, if I were you, I'd be reminding every member of the military that I can see, every chance I got, that it wasn't the lefties that sent troops into every quagmire they could find after 9/11 and then dropped them like a hot potato when they came back from 𝒳 tours and needed serious help and support.

@RandyHK Sure thing boss. Lemme know how that change dot org petition works out.

@jwz I think that the odds are high enough for it to be considered a certainty that if the Republicans lose in 2028 they won’t concede, somehow. So why should Kamala certify the results now? Democracy is dead. What no longer exists can’t be saved. We know bad shit is about to happen, but we need to wait until it does before we take action? If not, what actions would actually make a difference? How does any answer to that question start with “Let them in through the front door.”

@RandyHK Fuck off

@jwz what of a new political party= Dignity Party, and a new Constitution? Why don't we ignore the dithering Democratic Party money machine and just do the right thing regardless of resources and lead with kindness? Just eff Trump and the military. Declare a new civilian order fixing the crisis we've witnessed first hand, meaning we can first hand people power past them? If the options are really capitulate or fight, uh... I mean let's do something stabilizing instead? 56 signed the DoC 📜 1776.

@jwz Right, surrender early it is then? What are you honestly putting on the table then? We get it, the threat is real. Now what do you wanna do about it? Really not compromising on convincing folks the adults in the room aren't there anymore at all. Since your comments aren't productive, I'll get back to my Drafting. Pudding proof and all that.

"A defense secretary with a tenuous grip on reality, who can’t differentiate foreign enemies from domestic political opponents, and who seems to exist in a state of permanent hysteria is a problem that the US has never had to survive. The main question I was looking to answer when I started reading Hegseth’s collected works was whether he would follow a Trump command to shoot peaceful protesters. After having read them, I don’t think he would even wait for the order." https://www.theatlantic.com/politics/archive/2024/11/pete-hegseth-books-trump/680744/

@jwz Yup. This is precisely what terrifies me, because I see some version of this happening regardless of the name of who Trump gets to install of Sect. of Defense
