They got 40 million people in that state and they voting these imbeciles in office, and they continue to do it.
Even in an era in which Republicans have come to be defined by psychological projection and unintentional irony, Tommy Tuberville calling someone else an imbecile stands out.
Their goal is plutocratic oligarchy, and if they thought they could achieve that through sucking up to a Democrat, they'd just as eagerly suck up to a Democrat.
Though I'd say it is pertinent that Republican dogma is much MUCH more conducive to plutocratic oligarchy than Democrat dogma ever could be, so it's likely not taking much pretending for them to pose as Republicans.
It might as well be printed on toilet paper, since all he's going to do is wipe his stinky ass with it, then proceed to be entirely and completely unconstrained by even the faintest hint of actual ethics, just like he did the first time around.
I didn't make all that up on the spot. I already had the visual image in mind because that really is how I visualize him.
And I didn't even try to do it. When he first bought Twitter and started trolling professionally, I just found myself visualizing him doing it, and before I knew it, I had this crystal clear image of him sitting in front of a desktop PC on a rickety particle board desk in a dank basement room with white paint over concrete and green shag carpeting, lit only by the glow from a cheap monitor, wearing gross stained sweats and a hoodie, hunched over a grimey keyboard and occasionally giggling to himself.
I keep trying to visualize the more likely reality for a billionaire of some sort of extremely custom multi-monitor setup in the center of a purpose-built room, but it just won't stick.
In his mom's basement, in cum-stained sweatpants, sitting hunched over in front of a cheap oversized monitor hooked up to an underpowered desktop PC with lots of LED, trolling on /b/ and /pol/ and jerking off to pokeporn.
Nexus Mods owner Robin Scott summed up the situation perfectly on Jan. 6, two days before the official statement went out on X, in the comments of a Reddit thread about “censorship” on his site:
We also removed the exact same mod with Joe Biden’s head at the same time (on the 2nd of January) to ensure there was no bias and because we don’t want to handle all the nutjobs that come out the woodwork whenever these mods get posted. Funny how the outrage-bait YouTubers don’t mention that, isn’t it?
Case in point, today, with all the nutjobs coming out of the woodwork sending us death threats, calling us pedos and all the other “wah wahs” that come with this ridiculous situation because some YouTuber told them we are only removing Trump mods.
It’s so dumb, and these people are so dumb, that I really cannot be fucked with it. I’m not expecting any of my staff to have to handle these whackjobs any more than showing them the door either. So we delete all the mods we see/that get reported to us on the topic, and all the people this upsets can trot-on because it’s really not worth our time or effort to care about.
I've criticized Dark0ne repeatedly over the years specifically because he tends to be an asshole, but this is one time I'm with him 100%.
Gotta love the irony of a song that condemns having to "pick a tribe and hate the other side" that still can't manage to refrain from doing exactly that.
Even Trump's most determined enemies are likely afraid of the potential fallout if it becomes widely known that the incoming PotUS deliberately and systematically stole sensitive documents specifically in order to sell access to them to foreign powers.
Of course, burying that fact also has consequences...
And as is always the case with such things, the upshot of it all will be that a handful of companies will have to pay fines that will amount to only a small portion of their profits and nothing will actually be done about the problem.
So for all intents and purposes, all it is is the federal government demanding, and receiving, a cut of the action.
In order to further and protect his own privilege and that of his ruling class cronies, Zuckerberg has to make it possible for right wing grifters and shills to thrive on Facebook.
And in order to make it possible for right wing grifters and shills to thrive on Facebook, lying has to be normalized. There can be no expectation of truth, because truth is not and cannot be a part of their message.
If you think about it, Trump is really a sort of simple and easily understood person.
He has no firm foundation for his ego, but since he's been pampered and coddled all his life, it's never faced any significant challenges either. So he's ended up with this grossly overinflated and terribly fragile ego, and it's basically a full-time job just keeping it inflated and protecting it from harm.
It's going to be up to future generations to deliver the full weight of the condemnation those fucking animals deserve, because unfortunately, the positions of power in the West today are held almost exclusively by psychopathic fuckwads and craven cowards who don't have the integrity and/or courage to make a stand.
More than any other time in my life, I find myself wishing right now that Hell is a real place, because the entire IDF, virtually every Israeli politician, a terrifying percentage of Israeli citizens and damned near every western politician of any note deserves nothing more than to burn in it for all eternity. They are each and all unforgivably evil.
Those officials should be on their way to prison.
And that, as the saying goes, is not a bug. It's a feature.

That's why homelessness is being criminalized.
The explicit goal is to recreate Victorian workhouses for the benefit of the new generation of robber barons.
Of a vividly disturbing person.
As a matter of fact, yes.

Imagine being a Republican rep and telling your grandchildren about this.
"What'd you do when you were in Congress Gramma?"
"I voted to protect mass murderers!"
Of course he did.
Trump is the ultimate psychological projector. Just as dependably as the Earth orbits the Sun, whatever Trump does, he accuses someone else of doing.

Lining up to buy a piece of the action.
We the people are completely and totally fucked.

That's cynically unsurprising.

Oh look - a prisoner of a regime known to regularly torture prisoners has said precisely what the regime would want him to say.
Imagine that.

This pretty much sums up the future.
