new Fascism light: All of the bigotry, but none of the blowback…

Is he trying to rehabilitate himself as a “man of reason”? I predict at the first sign of resistance he’ll be back on the plane for Cancun

Maybe he was busy that weekend, being peed on by Russian prostitutes?

By inconvenience, I assume you mean the magnitude of their bank account and/or stock portfolio…

Journalists aren’t to blame… There’s plenty that have written about climate threats because there’s been a lot of Science saying it is for years. It’s the Editors and Media owner that censor those stories that are (partly) to blame.

Extrapolating from there, who influences the Media Owners/Editors? Whomever gives them money - Most likely it’s advertisers, but it’s also rich assholes who buy up Media outlets to control them.

Beyond that, we can also point the finger at Government - They permit these changes of ownership and often exert their own influence.

And, if you want to go full circle, we the population choose what the watch and read, and what we believe.

In short, it’s a societal problem because at the end of the day, we’ve chosen a world where Money is key measurement of how society is doing.

I‘m sick of hearing people say this - It‘s exactly what they voted for. What I would prefer to hear them say is WHY they feel they made a mistake. What about Trumps rhetoric then is disconnected from his current deeds?

I suspect the usual reason is that it‘s impacted them personally and they didn‘t think it would. It‘s the reverse of the boy who cried wolf

This is because we feel we paid for something that expects nothing in return.

When you pay for a game that includes add ons and microtransactions, all of a sudden we‘re back to being a marketing target, and we implicitly know we‘re pushed to spend money.

We play games to escape the real world…

OK, so next it’ll be the an entrapment operation? And then maybe an assassination?

I mean, if history is our guide…

I don’t think there is anyone employed in any capacity today that is less competent that US politicians.

Love this. For years, tax exempt Churches have been praising Donald Trump and his Christofascist cronies. Despite this being forbidden, no one does jack-shit.

And then a few ultra-rich musicians share that they are not 100% on board with Trump’s 2020’s remake of the movie Idiocracy and he’s calling for a “major investigation”?

Someone’s mommy really didn’t love him

Sound like Hegseth was instructed by his boss’s boss to do it…

maybe he means Transparent - Like the difference between what he says and what he means

I’d also be asking for a significant raise and to keep any severance money, tax free.

As other’s have mentioned, it’s what the Nazi’s did.

It’s the whole cycle of violence thing. The Nazi’s did it to the Jews, who were less powerful than them. And now the Jews are passing it along to a people that are less powerful than they are.

Jews have long been proud of their tradition of questioning and reasoning. What I want to hear is Netanyahu in court explaining why his government did this. And it has to be more than a “they did it first” argument.

Sure. Why not? It would be fun and cathartic for everyone, especially if it were televised, especially with high speed cameras.

No shot? Out of a cannon?

So, you say they’re doing it again…?

I believe the last time these people encountered such religious intolerance, they left Europe for the new world. Time for them to seek another new world…

The Idiots are winning
