Unfortunately, he didn’t win- because the Electoral College is a sham. We got Bush Jr. who threw us into 20+ years of war, and a bunch of idiots that can’t pronounce the world “Nuclear” without adding an extra “U” somewhere in there.

Factually wrong. We would have had Al Gore instead of Bush, if people voted for lesser evils. We wouldn’t have had Nixon or Regan if people voted for lesser evils. Don’t comment on our politics when you know nothing of them.

And disproven by the shitshow in the US.

I, too wish neither of us were right.

Your point is undermined by the fact that some of the people being rounded up are native, US-born citizens. Which means there is not really any leap to make here.

And we can ignore the clear pattern of behavior this admin has already shown so far, but that doesn’t make what they are doing any less real; what’s your point?

I disagree- I think Gleichschaltung has been underway since day one. This is a much more heinous overstep of the executive branch, imo

How? They’re taking people with no due process and deporting them already. Why would her being a judge make her position any different, if they are skipping due process again? This administration has shown that they don’t care about due process- they just make an accusation, and then go straight to “guilty until proven innocent.”

That’s if they give the judge due process, and don’t just immediately claim she’s guilty- kinda like they’re doing to people they’re deporting already. Not a stretch to just skip her due process at this point.

That’s just the official language. They may not kill her, but they are going to remove anyone that gets in their way is what this says to me.

And thus, the Night of Long Knives begins.*

Edit: The AP, as of 15 min ago has posted an update: “Dugan was taken into custody by the FBI on Friday morning on the courthouse grounds, according to U.S. Marshals Service spokesperson Brady McCarron. She appeared briefly in federal court in Milwaukee later Friday before being released from custody. Her next court appearance is May 15.”

Thank goodness, she has been released- even if she is still going on trial for a trumped-up charge.

Yeah, she had a not-so-great track record with POC and progressive Dems.

In the loop here- it’s not sudden. She has always been disliked and reviled for her tenure as a DA, and she was only tolerated during her presidential bid because she was not Trump. If we had platformed almost anyone else, we probably would have won November.

Maybe, but I won’t believe anything Meta says about their actions being legal until an EU court comments on it. I just know Meta has been in hot water with EU a few times for collecting data they shouldn’t.

Except the EU has already told them fuck off, or they will shut down their EU operations. Did they resolve that?

Only the fall of Weimar Republic, and the 12 years or so after that. Everything else is woke nonsense to him, I am sure.

“Someone” almost guaranteed to be Musk. The dude already has access to every sensitive US system, and his little goose-steppers likely are digging for dirt on anyone and everyone, so he can continue to expand his control over the country.

I abhor AI on principle. This is the best use of AI I have ever seen so far. Just look at those hogs!

bring a dose of reality…

I mean, Russian talking points are reality for a certain subgroup, I’ll give you that.
