611·19 days ago“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?.. The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt! If…if…We didn’t love freedom enough. And even more – we had no awareness of the real situation… We purely and simply deserved everything that happened afterward.”
Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn , The Gulag Archipelago 1918–1956
How well would US Xian nationalists (Christofascists) get along with the CoE? Is the latter, like the former, actively attempting to acquire absolute power over social matters in their country? Would the two be of like minds w/respect to doctrine?
legal residents are abducted from their houses for saying genocide is a bad thing
And tortured, with impunity, by government agents.
The memo also proposed IRS detail a dedicated group of several dozen senior IRS auditors to launch investigations into companies suspected of hiring undocumented immigrants.
I guess I better step on the gas and get work done on my house right now, before the (mostly-MAGA-voting) contractors can no longer get any workers. Probably a good time to stockpile food too, before crops are rotting in the fields because of a lack of workers.
I guess I’d better put a halt to getting old too, before long-term care facilities run out of staff and shut their doors.
Within minutes of showing up, a twenty-something software engineer dispatched from DOGE began demanding access
I’m in software and I can guarantee you these punks are absolutely reveling in the feeling that they’re the “elite” because Leon likes them and picked them to do all this world-shattering demolition work. He wouldn’t have tapped them if they weren’t elite, if they weren’t 1% hackers, right? Oh and they’ll surely be in charge of the design and implementation of the Leon-approved Government 2.0 systems, work that only they, the best of the best, could possibly do! Incel no more!
The new IT stuff, assuming it’s ever implemented, will all collapse. I can’t wait for MAGA/Leon to kick them to the curb once he’s done using them for wrecking and intimidation and they get to go back to unemployment and incel-hood.
Republican Congressman from E. WA state. Yes, a corrupt American, one of the majority in the corrupt Congress. https://baumgartner.house.gov/about
Both Musk and Trump have claimed that some workers are either dead or fictional, and the president has publicly backed Musk’s approach.
Addressing people who didn’t respond to the first email, Trump said “they are on the bubble,” and he added that he wasn’t “thrilled” about them not responding.
Malicious Compliance time. Give Trump something that will “thrill” him.
“Congressman Michael Baumgartner is currently serving his first term in the U.S. House of Representatives where he represents the people of Washington State’s 5th Congressional District.” https://baumgartner.house.gov/about
He’s a MAGA bootlicker and is unfit for office. What an embarrassment to our nation he is.
Donated. I hope she enjoys the lawsuit settlement $ and has many more years of being a “rabble-rouser” and causing “ruckuses”.
It’s a good thing that N. ID cities and towns are so flush with cash these days. Umm, wait, well https://cdapress.com/news/2024/feb/06/cda-school-leaders-trustees-money-saving-measures/
Really? Source? And I was imagining a glorious cascade of creative malicious compliance landing right in old man Leon’s rickety lap.
AGGRESSIVELY, the way she likes it.
As the purges commence, I’m wondering if there will even be a functioning IRS come April. When I send in my return will there be anyone at the IRS to process it?
And to dye his hair blonde, like frumpf does, rather than black. In the last pic I saw of Musk on stage, hopping around with Cheeto, he already had the big whale gut showing, so he’s almost there.
I donated a truck to these MFs about five years ago. Nice to know now how they waste donation $ on frivolous homophobic legal BS. Needless to say they’ll never see another penny from me.

Insurance companies still do many versions of this with a byzantine coding system, complex “out of network” exclusions, etc. Anything to deny a claim.
Yep. My criminal insurance company (CIC) marketing docs trumpeted how my ER costs were “fully covered” (which they’re required to be by law, I think). That’s obviously bad for profits, so the solution? Well just interpret any ER line-item (pick some expensive ones) as non-ER, even when they pertain to an ER visit, then charge the whole slew of separate copays/deductibles that go with the new interpretation. Profit! The hospital, which has a contract with the insurer, will cooperate and code all these line-item services with ambiguous language and codes, making them ripe for the picking by the screw-you insurance dweebs.
Oh, I can appeal the insurance decisions? Great. Appeal #1 is decided by the insurance company itself! 100% internal. Appeal #2 is done by a third party company, selected by the insurance company and paid by the insurance company. Think your state insurance commissioner is going to step in when foul play occurs? Think again. If they pay attention to you at all, they’ll claim to have no “authority” to make “medical decisions” about the abuse the insurance companies subject you to, and if they do anything at all, it might be to write a mildly-stern email to the insurance company reminding it of your complaint and their supposed obligations. That’s it, the commissioner’s office is not on “your side” and even if it were to some extent, they’ll claim to be “too overloaded” to do anything, anything like actually regulate the insurance companies, on your behalf or on behalf of the other millions of insurance customers.
You’d think so, wouldn’t you? People have been locked-away for treason after lesser acts than Jan 6. Treason laws in the United States . If the feds won’t prosecute, I’d hope the state AGs would start to look into these kind of public displays of insurrection.
01·2 years agoWell, the geniuses all seem to agree that’s the solution to any complex geopolitical problem, so yeah, why not? I think it should have fans on top to keep us cool and blow the smoke back up north. Maybe even “outdoor AC” units. There’ll be all those pesky so-called “Great” Lakes in the way, but we can probably fill them in with dirt trucked in (diesel only, no using those Commie “diesel-electric” trains) from all our brand new desert states.
If only.
I think they mean import tariffs. The tariffs that domestic buyers pay when importing goods from overseas.
