Legal AF (yt) channel had a bit of cheery news that Pope Leo is taking measures to defang Opus Dei.

Leonard Leo is a member, prolly a chunk of Federalist Society judges he helped choose.

The society is creepy and abusive.

Sarcasm from a farmer. The farmer himself details a lot of specifics about agricultural economics, particularly the farmers position with respect to transportation, inputs, and course income.

He also touches on the consequences corporate consolidation of farms, and how it destroys local economies and endanger the environment

It’s pretty informative for a general audience

The news nation debate discussion between Mockler and various other personalities, including Joe Manchin of all things… is interesting for many reasons.

When Mockler asks the rest of the panel, do they straightforwardly denounce Nazism only Joe Manchin shouts something like hell yes.

This is a very telling generational distinction between conservative asshats of a two generations ago and the ones today.

Manchin is still a product of his time.

fascism was the enemy to be denounced

Yup. It seriously broke. What I have to wonder what if anything they’re going to say about it.

What the current rulers of America want us to believe, is that no kings is filled with people that hate America.

That’s really true. We hate their idea of America: a nation ruled by a monarch.

They’ve made it clear repeated that electoral politics is a stepping stone to their absolute power and nothing more

Pam Bondi of all people convinced a federal judge to get a gun club to hand over its member list.

We are watching every last thing conservatives said they were fighting for be stripped away one by one, with the MAGA faithful not even showing a ripple of concern.

The word for this is bad faith. It’s bad faith that so deep they have inflicted it on themselves.

It’s all about the petrodollars baby!

I am sure MAGA will love their new neighbors

The only problem with neoliberalism and libertarian economics is pretty soon you need to run to your billionaire sugar daddy. Argentina’s economy in decline because inflation is still a thing.

One factor is it’s not possible for the government to control capital flows, because people with access to crypto accounts convert their pesos into stable coins. Eventually these pesos must be converted into dollars somewhere in the food chain.

I dearly would love to see a psychological profile survey for psychopathy in the Republican Party and in the White House cabinet.

“ Personally I endorse partying and also see no issues with giving the nuclear codes to a member of a fringe Christian cult with eschatological obsessions who seems to spend a reasonable amount of his public life yelling about killing muslims while blackout drunk.”

Oh you godless lefty youuuu. Oh wait!
