Pretty sure this is what they used to call war profiteering.
Signs you might be a far right authoritarian party (#3330):
54% of GOP men under 50 are Holocaust deniers, so while I don’t think a current member would tweet “Jews don’t belong in US society”, we’ve already had GOP members read Mein Kampf on the floor & push Soros conspiracies & in 5-10 years I think the Overton window will have shifted. “Never” is naive.
Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties
Also, he is what Jake Tapper & Alex Thompson told everyone Biden was. Their silence now is deafening. And damning.
Abraham Lincoln, the night before the Gettysburg Address:
“In my position it is somewhat important that I should not say foolish things. [Interruption: If you can help it!] It very often happens that the only
way to help it is to say nothing at.”
If only all Presidents felt this way…
It wasn’t a nightmare because I was feeling sympathy for the cult members, it was because the cult members were openly mocking me for being a “libtard” while literally being dragged to their deaths.
I had an intense seemingly never ending nightmare last night where I accidentally stumbled into a Republican convention while they were violently purging people. I kept trying to duck away and escape and my legs wouldn’t move as masked men were pulling people away screaming.
Once again our idiotic, pro-murder state laws keep the prosecutor from being able to do anything.

Trump can just openly say “I am doing this to bring in a one party state for 50 years” and commentators will hem and haw about the intricacies of carrying off a talking filibuster
That's about the same as the Oklahoma City bombing toll, of course our government is now controlled by a bunch of racist Turner Diaries enthusiasts and insurretionists who would have probably pardoned Timothy McVeigh.
Two teenage brothers and mariachi stars who visited the White House last summer were released with their family on Monday from an ICE detention center in South Texas. Rep. Joaquin Castro led a delegation of Democrats to the center to press for the release.
Eric Trump and Donald Trump, Jr. are acquiring a drone company that is seeking to meet Pentagon demand after Trump banned the use of Chinese drones.
We’re barely a week into Trump’s war and already his family has found a way to cash in.
Everything is for sale.
The guy who voices Master Chief from the video game "Halo," who was featured in a White House meme video showing missiles blowing people up in Iran, calls it "disgusting and juvenile war porn" wapo.st/3NhffGm
"Iran has some Tomahawks" is a shit lie, even by Trump's standards.
5/ An arrest deprives you of liberty and requires probable cause.
Judge Tostrud:
"Plaintiffs have made a clear showing that Defendants adopted a POLICY authorizing federal immigration officers to conduct warrantless arrests WITHOUT probable cause that the arrestees were violating immigration laws"
A US born citizen…
They detained her illegally. They lied about it.
They imprisoned her illegally. They lied about it. Then they kept lying and put her in danger.
FUCK ICE!

Trump just had his lowest Quinnipiac poll since at least the beginning of his second term.
37% approval. 57% disapproval.
(-20)
When he started his second term last year, Quinnipiac had him at +3.
If I understand correctly, the thing propping up the global economy is Wall Street’s collective belief that a man whose father, wife, and daughter we killed would not want to do anything that would impact our 401ks to us and will make a deal so Mr. Trump can have a good midterm.
The correct terms for this whole process are political purges and illegal rescission.
But Trump officials (including Elon Musk) say “efficiency” and “private sector” and “waste, fraud, abuse,” and a lot of people—including much of the press—buy it. At least enough to miss the unsubtle big picture.
If you are watching Trump's presser right now, you are seeing beyond reasonable doubt a person not mentally suited for any position of responsibility. Even running a small store.
GOP members of the House and Senate: You are seeing this too.
Electing this guy twice is really bad. But the real reason the US cannot be trusted is that it has been unable to impeach him.
34 countries allow mail-in voting, most of them in Europe. Every single state, red and blue, allows mail-in voting, though a few require an approved excuse. It was never an issue until Trump lost and needed a scapegoat.
Important ruling on immigration operations in Minnesota
Judge Tostrud (Trump appointee):
"Plaintiffs have made a clear showing that Defendants have adopted a POLICY authorizing federal immigration officers to conduct investigatory stops based on ethnicity or race without reasonable suspicion."

If LLMs were treated as a niche technology for a subset of work, instead of being shoehorned into every aspect of life without consent, you wouldn't have people ready to join the Butlerian Jihad Vanguard.
There is a kind of self-centered chauvinism in the way tech people think of "work" and "use."
"Some of you might die....but at least I won't miss a round of golf."

I’m sick of this goddamn city, county, state, and country thinking that we need the state to provide everything but also somehow working ourselves into the idea that None Of Us Need To Contribute To It Financially
Polis appears to have been driven mad by the online environment in the last year or two.
I think there is a legitimate chance Polis voted for Trump once RFK endorsed him.
