Happy First Day of Early Voting for the Virginia Redistricting Referendum to all those who celebrate π
So we're forcing the Clintons to testify, but completely ignoring people like Tom Barrack or Somers Farkas - both of which are US Ambassadors - who either are frequently in the Epstein files or are married to someone who is?
Also, very creepy in a, "wow, is this what watching a fascist leader absorb Congressional power feels like" kind of way.
State of the Union address?
That felt more like a State of Division.
Is it just me or is the kidnapping of Maduro giving 1953 Iranian coup d'Γ©tat vibes?
Trump seems to even be leaving the rest of the current government in place... While promising the oil to US oil companies... Which feels very similar to what led to the Consortium Agreement of 1954.
I think from here on out, you need to be careful letting MAGA people in your community near your children.

At this point I'm starting to wonder if Erika Kirk is sponsored by Kleenex or something.
It is crazy work for the Pentagon to investigate Mark Kelly because of the "remember your oath and refuse illegal orders" video.
Even worse yet was Trump threatening all of them with death.
Idk which is more sensitive to outside forces, you or an unshielded twisted pair.
You make me want to stay single (mode fiber) and be very far from you.
America First! So we'll tariff China so badly that they swap to buying soy from Argentina, and then we'll give Argentina FOURTY BILLION DOLLARS to bail them out, while our farmers go bankrupt and JD Vance makes bank off his Acretrader investments!
Are the jobs in the room with us right now?
After buying dozen of domain names mid-prototyping on my local machine for various business ideas I've had, I also recommend just not buying one until you're ready to push to production.
Oh wow that's actually real. www.state.gov/releases/202...
Oh what's that? Elon and Trump are fighting?
Watch as Elon gets really close to China in the next 6 months.
"Vaccines don't work," they cry, as the very same party screeching that message more than doubles the amount spent on vaccinating livestock in the next 4 years.

The ironic part of this is that the foundation that encouraged (and probably paid off) all US reps into backing the US fully out of that international treaty was the Heritage Foundation.

Trump after watching the S&P once again crumble off his own decisions: "I have no intention of firing Powell."
Also Trump: truthsocial.com/@realDonaldT...
And don't forget him actively trying to get the court case that prevents him from firing Powell overturned: www.scotusblog.com/2025/04/will...
This argument kind of grinds my gears rn since I was furious then and I'm furious now, and it always comes across as, "well, at least there's precedent for it!"
Now it's the same thing but on steroids, as now the exec branch is ignoring judicial courts orders and has us in a constitutional crisis.
This. All of this.
I felt this in my soul. This has been my life since the election.

I'm just gonna sit here awkwardly. I am a programmer wearing dino leggings who is awaiting her purchase of a teddy bear themed taser and I just applied to a role. π
whoever is pretending linux cannot have audio issues out of the box is a fucking liar. that has been the classic post-installation linux issue for at least 2 decades.
that said, installing pipewire sometimes fixes things for me. I had to do that to get audio over hdmi to work in arch
The "proof" from AG Bondi as to why an innocent man was deported is truly amazing.

I might split out my political ramblings from this account to one dedicated to politics.
Swapping between linux rants and my latest thoughts on politics probably appeals to maybe a half dozen people.
At what point are we going to acknowledge that we are *currently* in a dictatorship?
Trump is disappearing people without due process.
Courts are ruling against him and no one is coming to enforce it.
Congress is full of sycophants who go along with everything.
The US is an authoritarian state.
I'll be amazed if this even gets to a trial.
Trump really out here trying to pretend the First Amendment doesn't exist. π
"I am so honored to be suing 60 Minutes, CBS Fake News, and Paramount, over their fraudulent, beyond recognition, reporting." Get bent.
An oldie but a goodies now that the Transportation Secretary is coming out against the DOGE cuts.
I have been talking about this exact thing and roughly tracking it since the election.
If you're looking for members of a team to help gather data proving this, please reach out. I am literally building a website to track how absurd and blatant his market manipulation efforts are.
I used to work at The Motley Fool. If I did anything like this, I would have been fired immediately and promptly sued by the SEC and probably TMF too.
Does Trump sign his social media posts with DJT? Yes, but rarely. He ran up Newsmax's IPO 2000% off a post, this was intentional.
#uspolitics
Trump is honestly claiming that we're seeing historic gains in the markets and that people and him need to be flexible regarding tariffs.
Like motherfucker, YOU did this. You broke the records you hit in you first term regarding market losses within small time frames. Oh my god.
