Kristi Noem is lucky she keeps being appointed to stuff since she's now so toxic she couldn't even be elected Dog Killer

It is 2026 and we are not fucking doing this anymore. EIGHT WOMEN came forward and told stories of Franken GROPING AND FORCIBLY KISSING THEM. The man was a sexual abuser. He did not and does not belong in congress. Fucking period. End of conversation.

A frightening thing about the right's expansion is the spread of openly fascist messaging across an incredibly diverse online landscape. This can be seen by tracking the # β€œRevolt Against the Modern World,” a book written by Julius Evola in 1934. (More relevant now than when I wrote it 3/4/23.) 🧡

I'm just going to say that Cotton definitely meant "looming" and not "imminent", but even then it's an insane argument, just not a fundamentally incoherent one.

Grateful to never have to hear the words "Aim Hoomland Sicurity Sicritary Kristi Noooom..." coming from my TV during Game Show Network ad breaks ever again.

Entirely consistent with conservative tradition, Noem leaves us with a fake quote she saw in a meme once.

He will obviously without question end up being worse than Kristi Noem

You know if he fires Bondi he's just going to appoint Matt Gaetz as acting AG

Noem wasn't fired she just felt it was time to step down and spend more time killing dogs

ICE confirms a measles outbreak in the nation's largest detention facility in Texas The agency said it's closely monitoring the situation and coordinating with public health authorities while the facility has been closed to visitors and attorneys.

Worth taking a moment to consider that we were recently a nation with neither measles nor concentration camps and purposely chose to become a nation with both.

The death penalty is and has always been a powerful tool of white supremacy.

White racists love to murder Black people and our justice system lets them do it.

It must be abolished.

Nothing.

Trump loves strongmen and his administration is stacked with people who want the Biblical apocalypse to happen.

It's not complicated.

(Except for the one guy who posted some neo-Nazi antisemitic bullshit and then blocked me when I called him on it. He sucked.)

Also threw up in my mouth a little when I wrote "half a century" and realized I was born the same year as the Iranian revolution.

Gross.

Noem raises eyebrows with response to explosive affair question: 'I didn’t hear a no' Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem faced serious questions under oath on Wednesday on Capitol Hill, including one about the long-rumored affair with top Trump administration aide Corey Lewandowsk...

- Did you murder a puppy, Secretary Noem?

- Yes I wrote about it in my book?

- Are you having an affair with Corey Lewandowski, Secretary Noem?

- Stop slut shaming

- But are you?

- You read too many tabloids.

- But ARE you?

- Why are you so mean to me?

Iran has been an imminent threat to the United States for 47 years.

The president was right to act.

​Graham Platner uses DC consultants, despite his claims Despite heavy spending on out-of-state consultants, the campaign is being driven by volunteers and grassroots organizing, campaign manager Ben Chin says.

I know this *seems* bad, but you have to try to understand this in the context of the fact that Platner is a giant liar and fraud.

To be fair that mode of thinking is entirely consistent with that of a guy who is like "THIS time a regime change war in the Middle East will WORK!"

So it's not so much triggering as engineering. They want to see a world that looks as violent and chaotic as the one they imagine being described in Revelation because then they can say "Look, the world looks like the one described in the Revelation!"

It's prophetic self-fulfillment they're after

I think "trigger the Rapture" is overselling the idea slightly (and really it's Armageddon they want).

Rather, in my experience with endtimes evangelicals, it's more of a weird dance of manifesting the conditions to LOOK MORE LIKE the conditions that might align with their idea of the apocalypse.
