@br00t4c Biden already surrendered to the MAGAts. I don't know if he's planning his escape or just resigned himself to being executed on 1/21/25 but either way he's not going to help anyone anymore.

@br00t4c If Woodward truly gave a fuck, he would have told us everything he knows from the biggest microphone he could find instead of saving it for his book.

@br00t4c People are disposable to him and his supporters.

@AnarchoNinaWrites @hannu_ikonen It was observed, ages ago, that fascists were all preceded by the ur-fascists who established the legal frameworks, agencies and traditions the fascists would need. They might even do it innocently but the machine itself is amoral and doesn't care who's driving it.

The PATRIOT Act, among so many other things, was perfectly emblematic of the danger we were building into the system.

@br00t4c Trump introduces the federal ban and laughs at everyone who thought legalizing at the state level mattered.

@br00t4c Nobody owed conservatives any more platform than they'd already bought for themselves.

@DeanObeidallah I expect public executions come January. The MAGAts own the entire government including the parts that run the elections. Assuming we will be allowed to vote them out of power to any meaningful degree seems naive.

They won the popular vote, the majority of Americans are officially garbage.

@br00t4c You take aim at the dead center of the political spectrum, knowing full well that the voters have fled far Left and Right of your preferred audience. Play to that empty middle segment, knowing the Right is fully spoken for and the Left will never move Right to join you.

@br00t4c For one, you never once reported candidly on the threat Trump posed. At best it was hinted at but even the insurrection on January 6th was treated like a minor kerfuffle that was barely interesting to talk about.

@br00t4c Why does he even bother lying now?

@br00t4c Oh. The BBC reporting on the important stuff like how well Saudi fascist get along with American ones.

The least the Biden admin could do is declassify all the shit they have on Trump before they go. It's not like there's going to be trials.

@br00t4c And the judge wants it to continue at least until the election has already happened and the corruption is locked in.

@eff You should have been able to leave off at "judges should enforce rules" but we all know better by now.

@Npars01 @VATVSLPR @mloxton @GottaLaff Crypto, at the bottom end, is cheap enough for poor people to participate and provide a smokescreen of plausibly valid transactions amongst which the rich can hide their crimes.

@phaedral @kongakong Yup.

If the MAGAts were given enough time, there is absolutely no limit to what they will rationalize. He could confess, and provide all the evidence, to literally anything and they'd get over it.

@br00t4c Then the standards and tooling for aiming them properly need to be updated. I don't want to need to go purchase/find the 20" long Phillips screwdriver that I only need to fix my headlights once in a blue moon.

Point the headlights at the ground two car lengths ahead, pretty well centered in your lane. The " wide angle, aimed just about directly forward into the windows of other vehicles" headlights are adjusted wrong.

@br00t4c It's really hard to accept people being this stupid.

@br00t4c This seems predicated on the idea that they were ever acting in good faith.

Even their weak and bad faith efforts last time didn't lead to a Trump win so this time they're not going to even do that. They'd rather give up even the facade of fairness this time than risk their preferred candidate losing again.

@br00t4c It will continue being an expensive diversion from real problems that facilitates money laundering for the rich and grifting from the poor.

It will continue to eat more electricity than it's worth and do its part to destroy the world on behalf of the oligarchy.

It will never do anything different until it stops doing anything at all.
