How many times do we have to say this?
STOP NORMALIZING FASCISM! STOP TREATING TRUMP'S TAKEOVER AS 'IS THE PRESIDENT BEING HONEST?'
Start calling out every fascist, cruel, authoritarian act. Start referring to the UD Republicans as the Nazi thugs they are.
Don't enable them with 'fairness.'
Yeah. Apparently they forgot to add "it's us we're the darkness" to their masthead.
Food + marmite = not food, for most people.
Butnprops for the vintage Corelleware plate.
Sadly, he's not stupid. He's evil and cynical, and callously manipulating those who are stupid.
Fucking assholes.
A whole lot to protest, actually.
He ALLEGEDLY killed a man. Not been proven in court yet, and he is claiming that he's being framed.
Also even if it's true, terrorism charges are wildly inappropriate, and are being used here as a threat.
Then there's the matter of him being paraded around with a dozen armed guards, a clear violation of international law which guarantees the dignity of prisoners.
Finally, even if he deliberately murdered the CEO of a large healthcare provider, and deserves jail time, etc., there is still the fact that said CEO was complicit in the deaths of hundreds of patients that had claims denied, for the sake of endless profiteering.
So, yeah. Protest.
Piss off, spammer.
The LaserJet 4 was the last bit of good from HP. They have been a shit company with the notoriously worst support in the industry for decades.
Hope some of you in the US will be protesting at the courtroom.
Kinnickinnick Foods was originally Edmonton-vased, and has recently been sold to English Bay foods out of BC.
Nobody knows how they died, because they're dead.
Many people know how they're going to die, at least approximately. When you're 93 and have cancer, you know.
Lots of discussion points here, but let me address two or three in particular:
Nope. No, it really doesn't. Trump was never a legitimate contender from his opponents' perspective (due to dirty foreign money) and his true believers would stand buy him as he ate a live baby on TV.
Take a look at some approval polls that show he still has significant support from Americans. (Likewise with Musk, likewise with DOGE.)
Second point: It doesn't matter. He doesn't NEED legitimacy or approval any more. He's in power, Musk is at his right hand, and the two of them are acting with complete impunity. Seriously, they should both be hauled off in chains and tried for treason, not to mention hate crimes and hundreds of less-sexy crimes. But they're not, and so it just doesn't fucking matter.
Thirdly, where did it come from? We're discovering now that the Christian hard-right has been carefully staging this for HALF A CENTURY! Since not long after Roe v. Wade, they have been laying the groundwork for what Project 2025 is carrying out right now: A ruthless coup backed by religious extremists and foreign opponents. The Heritage Foundation was founded in 1973. PNAC was founded in 1997. And there are more.
Fundamentally, Trump's first term was to see how much they could get away with. When they lost the 2020 election, the Nazis spent four years purging the party of unfaithful (i.e. people with either thoughts or morals, or maybe even both), then won last year, and were finally able to remove their veil: The government no longer needs the will of the people to execute their extremist plans.
