'Defiant screw you': Expert stunned as Trump admin 'thumbs its nose' at Supreme Court

Yeap. That was the plan. JD Vance is on camera well before the election saying Trump should have his Andrew Jackson moment and tell them to go ahead and try to enforce their ruling. They want absolute power.

I'd post the clip if I could, it says too large. 😴

Edit: here is a link to the clip. Idk where to upload it for a longer period. It'll expire 2 days from when I post this. Full vid = "Dark Gothic MAGA" by Blonde Politics

This is literally the moment where a dictator rises. This is THE make it or break it moment. If the Supreme Court does not appoint marshals to enforce its ruling - if it does not enforce it is a co-equal branch, as mandated by the Constitution,

then the Executive is free to do what it wants with no consequences. The Executive is immune even to Supreme Court rulings.

Even if you somehow believe that the 2026 and 2028 elections will still matter by then (IF WE MAKE IT THERE, VOTE ANYWAY MOFO), just imagine the damage a president that is no longer equal to the Supreme Court & Congress can do. The Constitution is quite literally broken at that point - if you can make the argument that the previous executive immunity ruling didn't break it in the first place.

Anyone got betting odds on the SC actually trying to enforce the ruling?... just trying some humor cause... boys, gals, otherwise.... no matter what ultimately happens as the outcome to all this, all roads are dark from here.

There’s No Coming Back From Trump’s Tariff Disaster | America was the world’s economic anchor. Thanks to the president, it may never have that role again.

"..what matters is the targeting of essential structural elements of a nation: economy, foreign relations, and defense systems. Basically, the subverter (Russia) would look to destabilize every one of those areas in the United States, considerably weakening it."

"Russia should use its special services within the borders of the United States and Canada to fuel instability and separatism against neoliberal GLOBALIST Western hegemony"

Released in the 90s, and became Russian intel agent required reading. That's just one highly relevant quote. Check the "content" section for a few eye poppers.

Feel free to google "Project Russia" next, as that was the successor to FoG.

In all reality, if the world before 2016 matters to you at all and you understand Russia has been waging a psychological war against us since the 90s and never stopped fighting the Cold War, the picture is very clear. The evidence isn't even tangential. It's blatant and it's everywhere.

We just live in post-truth... which is exactly how Russia and China live. That's why you can't talk about certain topics in China involving tanks. (Tbh I'm just tired and too lazy to google the spelling...) Russia is literally in the midst of brainwashing children its kidnapped from Ukraine.

We have traitors in office pretending Russia is our ally and directly spewing kremlin propaganda, while attacking and damaging the United States only to hand cash to their rich buddies while we are implementing a mass deportation campaign of even legal immigrants, shipping them to horrific prisons overseas. This story never gets better at this stage without getting much worse.

Wishing everyone the best... very scared for what's to come. :-)

Trump official declaring ‘anyone who preaches hate for America’ will be deported worries users: ‘They just skip the First Amendment’

They ARE traitors. Russian-backed, Nazi-seig-heil throwing traitors. They aren't joking about wanting to jail liberals. They 100% mean it.

They've been prepped to be fine with it since they started calling "liberalism a mental disorder."

Straight Russian propaganda. The Kremlin wants to stamp out western liberal democracy. MAGA's the push to destroy America

X Threatens Our Democracy. Canada Should Ban It

My friends, you need to know Facebook is a threat, too

Peter Thiel was the first outside investor in FB. Zuck is close to the tech bros like Musk behind the scenes. You cannot trust either platform

I obv can't tell you to ban them, but you need to figure out how to deal with the vast amount of lies and propaganda on them. If they coup-de-grace the US, they will destabilize every democracy. It's Thiel's (and Putin's, for dif reasons) wet dream

Joe Rogan Slammed For Claiming Resurrection of Disability Slur Is 'One of the Greatest Cultural Victories'

Reply in thread

I think wayyyyy more people than you realize say it. Even people you think are raging leftists. Most of us got quiet because we in general agree with left leaning things. Feel free to skim my profile...

But man... fucking EVERYONE says retarded. I'm very left leaning. Once I got away from a few select people... it was genuinely kind of a culture shock for me how many people say it lol.

I'm not advocating for people to just sling it like crazy.. and I know in a way that's kind of what's gonna happen to SOME EXTENT... but as someone who tried to push other folks toward not saying this in the past....

I 100% think it's a lost cause. I don't think it's going away. I don't personally think it's ableist and never did.

To make a comparison, from my perspective, it's kind of like turning the word "insane" into a slur.... we did some reaaaal bad things to people under the veil they were "insane." We put people in jail and mental hospital for most of their lives. We fried their brains with medication and lobotomized them both chemically and physically. It's not as common, but it is 100% an insult to tell someone they are insane or acting insane (I mean if they're bashing their skull into a tree or somethin that IS insane but that would also be an extreme example to call someone retarded over)

But we don't get upset about calling people insane today... everything has context and I think the context of retard has moved on from why people are offended.

A more apt comparison is being equally mad you called someone slow... I mean... retard is literally a word for slow in French... it kinda really only become ableist when someone wants it to be interpreted that way. At what point is simply calling someone stupid not also then ableist? Are we gonna crucify people if they use any other insult beyond "ignorant" that doesn't indicate the insultee's willingness in their stupidity? Or is "you lack/display a lack of intelligence" (the definition of stupidity) somehow more classy than slow and retarded in your eyes?

My 2c is that unless you expect to erase the word (you're not going to) you're better off helping to change the meaning in common view (most of us just think it means ya RLY RLY fkin dumb but use a word beyond stupid or idiot) and steal it back from them. Grinding to death and dividing OURSELVES internally over shit this nonsensical is killing us.

It's an easy code switch that uses their language against them and makes you more credible in their eyes 🤷🏻 as an ally I'm just saying not every battle can be won the way you originally wanted it to be

TLDR: bunch of different justifications for why I call MAGATs retards when they make stupid points in arguments

Whistleblower Accuses DOGE of Letting Russians Access Government Accounts in Shocking Security Breach

Reply in thread

Musk, like Peter Thiel, Curtis Yarvin, Marc Andreesson - the list of tech billionaires goes on - doesn't want a democracy. They want to replace the elites. They want a technocracy/monarchy, just like Musk's grandfather tried to implement.

Traitors is 100% the word.

"I no longer believe democracy and freedom are compatible" - Peter Thiel

"If Americans want to change their government, they're going to have to get over their dictator phobia." - Curtis Yarvin

The Project 2025 Presidency: The blueprint for Trump 2.0 predicted much of what we’ve seen so far—and much of what’s to come.

They've told us what they're going to (and want to) do every step of the way.

But Trump fans pretend stuff isn't going to happen... even when it's literally happening

On top of that, Trump is 100% going to try to stay for another term

I do not promote violence. You should not commit violence. It is generally not worth it. Mmkay? Want that to be 100% clear. Additionally, violence is what Trump wants so he has an excuse to declare martial law/suspend elections/etc. It's very obvious. Violence = bad.

All that said, unless America lets itself descend into the authoritarian pit, I don't see any way out that won't involve violence at some point/level. We are beyond what was happening during the civil rights era. These people aren't interested in compromise and working together. They want to dismantle America's culture of diversity to replace it with their own.

I'm not sure there are any other methods that work if it comes down to it. Even people on the left are in denial; these people aren't joking about wanting to attack libs. They're actively preparing for it by calling all libs mentally ill, or that liberalism is a disease, etc.

Do you see what I'm saying? How are you going to try to argue with some of these people? Not all republicans are all in on this - but there's enough in power that this is very, very dangerous

All I can say is that I truly hope the courts enforce the constitution. Bring those people back and give them due process. I don't want them deported, but if that ends up happening, at least it's legal &... I struggle to say humane.

The European Union Decides to Rearm

Reply in thread

My fellows are so blind and deep in the cult. I genuinely think it's going to be dictatorship or civil war.

That said, Trump is so effective at being anti-war, that he's got the entirety of Europe re-arming! 10/10

Stg MAGA's had a few lines about how Hillary or Kamala would bring us closer to WW3

ChatGPT is driving me nuts with sychophantic responses. I don't need a flattery for every mundane message.

Because most of these (if not all) are literally meant to placate you.

Try asking stuff about like politicians who might be dictators. When it refuses to tell label people, ask it why, and then question those answers.

Albeit I am primarily referencing Trump here, and it won't label democrats either, if you live in reality then just.. cmon.. cmon. Try asking it for, say, numerical comparisons to Hitler. Not sure about others, but Copilot will just tell you that's off limits.

It all but tells you it's meant to create engaging conversations more than anything else. They easily fudge numbers all the time, so...

LLM is only as informative as whoever is controlling it allows it to be, just like social media, traditional media, etc.

I hate how much I sound like the old conspiracy heads lmfao.

Billionaires are not our allies. And some of them are genuinely stupid enough to have thought they could contain what was going on that it was just gonna be more tax cuts for them. They, like the public, didn't all actually believe it would be true. They are not inherently smarter or more immune to propaganda than we are.

They just have more access to information - if they don't surround themselves with people that are only yes men and such.

Other billionaires are betting on the collapse, and are willing to take less monetary power, to have more literal power if they can create their own city states. Literally what they're hoping for.

They are short sighted, stupid, arrogant, heartless... and, many, traitors.

Some need to be made an example of.

But we accept those who ask for forgiveness. I'm not saying to actually forgive them. Or to re-establish normal lives with them. Other people can do that work.

But they do have to have SOME kind of off-ramp, or you might as well be making the same arguments that MAGA are when they claim "liberalism is a mental illness and should be jailed."
