We’re talking about a guy who, I shit you not. picked up roadkill – specifically a dead bear – and kept it in his car all day. He was planning on eating it but got busy. Eventually, it ceased to be fresh enough even for his palate so he decided to dump it in central park. He staged it with an old bike he had in his car so that it looked like a bicyclist rode into it and killed it. This is the quality of decision making we’re talking about here.
It’s symbolic. Just to get a headline. They were going to lose the vote anyway, so this at least gets the media to glance in their direction.
They certainly did learn something. Something very, very important… to them. They learned that by moving far enough right they could rake in huge piles of money from the donor class that wants to keep progressives under heel. That’s what they learned.
Well, he’s gone out of his way to sow chaos in every area of government including transportation. I would not be surprised if his actions did lead in some way to this tragedy.
A dangerous game. Where past presidents would negotiate and put up with some level of shenanigans from militias, I think this administration or his Redhats would immediately seek to put you down.
Don’t forget that Hitler also started by targeting gay and trans people. Within days of being elected, his supporters attacked the Institute for Sexual Research in Berlin. The institute was where the first male-to-female genital surgery was performed in 1922. Nazi’s broke into the building hauled out the 20,000 book research library and burned it in the streets, one of the first and largest of the Nazi’s book burnings.
I’m afraid that this is just the beginning.
I agree. It was Republican focus on control of state legislatures that got us where we are. While Democrats focused on national races, the GOP put huge focus and dollars into taking over state legislatures one by one. Once they had sufficient control in a state, they gerrymandered the hell out of the maps making it impossible for Democrats to take it back. Most “Red” states are not really all that red. They are just gerrymandered to the point that the the votes of non-Republicans don’t matter. Now, through voter suppression, those legislatures are making sure that the non-Republican voters cannot be heard at the national level either. This has been a plot in the making for decades and it is finally coming to fruition.
I don’t know if it can be stopped now, but if it can be, it’ll be by taking back the state legislatures and making sure everyone’s vote counts again.
Avian flu and other viruses can potentially spread from cows to humans, where it’s more likely to mutate and spread.
Every single person that contracts the HPAI H5N1 virus is a few billion chances for the virus to mutate and generate a strain that is able to spread from person to person. These people are throwing dice over and over and when they come up snake eyes, we are all going to lose.
No one is defending either on the subject. We are simply stating that one is WORSE than the other by an order of magnitude. Honestly, how can you not see that?
I’m pretty sure that’s what Musk is trying for with his brain implants.
Hydrogen peroxide is not the same as bottled water. Water is H2O. Hydrogen Peroxide is H2O2. Don’t drink it.
He does it a lot, actually. I’m fairly convinced it’s a sign that he has a disorder of some sort as discussed in this salon article from 2020.
“While most frequently observed in Parkinson’s Disease, the bent posture so evident in Trump may also be seen in Alzheimer’s Dementia, movement disorders of the basal ganglia, and as the side effect of certain medications,” Cytowic continued. “Also noted are the sudden, jerking movements of Trump’s right arm. Since they occur only on one side, the prefix “hemi” is applied, while “ballistic” means sudden or flinging in the manner of a projectile. Trump’s hemiballistic arm movements are evident in news clips from Memorial Day (also here via C-Span) at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, as are his uncontrolled swaying and forward tilt. He is seen to grab his wayward arm with the left one in an effort to keep it under control.”
Youtube video here. You can see he stands with the same kind of lean (starting about 0:30) and keeps wobbling the whole time. The wobble gets very pronounced after he walks up to the wreath (around the 2:15 mark). As for the arm movements described above, you can see some good examples starting after the 4:15 mark. There’s also an earlier point at the 2:28 mark where you can see him suddenly clench his left hand on his right wrist as if to hold it in place.
I really think the man is not well and he is basically a puppet for the far-right and all those billionaires.

Watch yourself. SCOTUS says he can legally have seal team 6 come to your house and kill you.
NBC News described it as Musk "forcefully touch[ing] his heart, before raising his hand and saluting supporters.”
Yeah… someone else did that too. Now, who was it?
Musk hasn’t (yet) done anything else worth attacking
Unless you count the quarter billion dollars plus that he spent to put Trump in office, plus the alleged manipulation of “voting counting computers” that Trump bragged about.
What’s the over-under on some recently pardoned Redhat ridding Trump of this turbulent priest former National Security Advisor?
Depends on the kind of bear. A black bear cub like this would be like hitting a dog, I suspect. An adult would fuck your car up good.
