@WarnerCrocker Which has always been the goal. Altman and co are trying to create the ultimate capitalist, mastrubatory fantasy: infinite profits with zero expenses.

Thy seem to forget there’s no profit without consumers.. but why let reality get in the way of a good grift?

@bmacDonald94 No worries, thanks. Will see if I can find a reference. What a treasure he was — too bad we were/are too intellectually stunted as a society to appreciate him.

@bmacDonald94 What a great quote! Do you have any context of when/where he said it?

The question every West Point graduate is probably asking themselves right now:

“Am I willing to die for this maniac?”

So much better since they switched from those meat based figs! #newmansown

@SFBayTide I can only guess that the general public is now so dumbed down that they can’t discern between plants and meat? Or something? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

@bruces Given the ease with which this administration lies to create crises, has anyone confirm this to be true?

Sen. Frank Church is whirling in his grave…

Wonder how long it’ll be until the right asserts he’s not sleeping but “weeping” over the death of the pope?

I just have one question, a la Jesse Watters: “fellas — it’s it gay to wear an inappropriate suit to — and fall asleep at — the pope’s funeral?”

My daughter sent over a shot of from the 250th celebration in Concord, MA of the historic battles of Concord and Lexington going on right now.

Lots of DHS and MIL present (and Proud Boys and counter protestors,... along with re-enactors).

In case you're wondering, that’s an LRAD under wraps on top of that humvee. In case you don’t know, LRADs are very nasty crowd control devices (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Long-range_acoustic_device) that can really mess you up.

Welp.

@briankrebs

Let’s remember WHY they were using signal — they were doing it because signal deletes messages after a pre-set time. They were doing this using a non-official channel — in violation of lots of law — in order to keep their discussions secret and away from Congress, judges and the law.

Every accusation is a projection with the Trump Crime Family — which means there are texts, videos, and pictures somewhere that Miller surely doesn’t want to become public.

He doesn’t realize NATO members can call for the defense of EACH OTHER from US…

They do & cancelled $69 BILLION in F-35 purchases b/c the US has a kill switch to disable the planes.

They’re gearing up to defend themselves from US… we’re living in the upside down.

@WarnerCrocker I’m sure Elon has a robot bomb sniffing dog he’s just lied to Trump about having created to replace them.

Not content to merely erase women, LGBTQIA, non-whites, and poor people from the public sphere and government, Trump is now actively trying to murder them.
