He’s 100% the image of the violent overseer that cracks his whip across the backs of slaves with a smug sickly sneer on his ugly face in a movie. The one that everyone cheers for when his victims get their justice against him, slashing him with his own whip a dozen times before choking him out with it. Let us hope he receives his deserved comeuppance in real life as well.

Famous last words

Ugh. I hate that smug spiteful loud bitch.

Lighten up or fuck off

Asked in the interview whether U.S. citizens and noncitizens alike deserve due process as laid out in the Fifth Amendment of the Constitution, Trump was noncommittal.

“I don’t know. I’m not, I’m not a lawyer. I don’t know,” Trump said when pressed by Welker.

Do you need to be a lawyer to be aware of the Bill of Rights? He’s been President for more than 4 total years, head of the executive branch charged with executing the law for the entire country, has a whole staff of lawyers advising him, and has, himself, pled the 5th (!) and he’s still not even familiar with the 5th amendment?

Honestly, if you’re gonna dedicate your life to being an absolutely hateful piece of shit, take some pride, hone your craft. A good racist should be able to at least be able to get the highlights of your 23 and me profile right. The best car guys can call out the make, model, year, and trim package from a revving engine. I want to see a racist hear a foreign accent and exclaim “Oh! That’s an '81 Vietnamese-Laotian bisexual… nope wait… pansexual! … Gettem boys!”

Also, even the reputation he has was bullshit propaganda. The common canon of the story is that Columbus knew the Earth was round and everyone else told him he was crazy, that the Earth was flat and he was going to sail his crew off the edge of the world. That’s not remotely true. Everyone knew he Earth was round. It was completely accepted and common knowledge at the time.

They did call Columbus crazy and say he was going to kill his crew, though. Not for believing the Earth was round, but for believing it was about a third the circumference that it actually is and was essentially known to be. The reason people didn’t sail west to get to the Indies was because it was believed to be (and is) a loooong fucking trip. He disagreed and thought it would be about a third of what everyone else knew it to be. So he only stocked the three ships with enough supplies for this much smaller distance.

He sailed his men west past the point of no return to what absolutely would have been their certain deaths. And they got close to killing him over it when their supplies ran critically low. Had he not lucked out and found land WAY fucking early and nowhere near his destination, he would have been remembered, if indeed he were remembered at all, for being a complete moron, because he was. He was just a moron that got saved by dumb luck.

And that’s the “heroic” stuff that we’re meant to applaud him for, independent of the horrible treatment of the natives. He only got a holiday in the first place because Catholics wanted a American figure that represented them and so they lobbied hard for it. The guy was not an aspirational figure though. He just had good PR for a long time.

Any seat that doesn’t have a primary challenger is a mistake. Incumbent should have to justify their continuing role to their own party, not just an opposing party, just like a new comer has to justify why they would be better. Maybe stability is better, maybe the incumbent is doing a great job and should continue to do so, maybe new blood with perspectives are needed, maybe more drive and passion is a priority. You know who should get to decide those things? The party voters, not the establishment.

There is no such thing as unbreakable encryption. It will be compromised at some point and you will not know when. To pretend otherwise is to asinine.

You have no evidence that the could or have compromised it at all. Just baseless “oh but it may be compromised some day!”.

Yes, that is the point. I have no evidence, nor will I. When Russia hacks it successfully, they aren’t going to put out a press release and give everyone a grace period to move off the app before they start harvesting state secrets are they? You need to act like it is already compromised becuase you don’t know that it isn’t or when it inevitably will be.

Signal encryption is already targeted by Russians and Belarusians trying to compromise it. If it’s still secure, who knows for how long. Also, is Hegseth’s phone itself secure, and everyone has communicating with? Probably not. That is why these kinds of communications are not meant to take place over 3rd party software and on unsecured phones.

Get fucked Trump

If it’s a luxury, sure. If it’s a necessity, it’s extortion.

Don’t discount good old fashion price gouging either. Even if you could keep up with demand and keep your prices way under the tariffed foreign goods, why would you? If you are the only domestic alternative, bump your prices to just under your competitors.

They do pay taxes. This weird myth that immigrants somehow all live and work in the US for free is silly. They pay income tax if they work, they pay sales tax when they buy things, they pay property tax if they own a home or help someone financially who does.

We didn’t distinguish “good” Germans from bad Germans during WWII,

Yes, the fuck we did.

and we don’t distinguish “good” Russians from bad Russians.

Yes the fuck we do.

This is the mentality that leads to war crimes.

That’s honestly the least unhinged policy he’s likely to push.

That’s an unhinged stance. People that bought a car without knowing what Elon was or would become are not morally responsible for enabling him. Intent matters. Most of them, im sure, just wanted an electric vehicle… the end. They do not deserve to be punished for Musk and Trump’s evils.

Kanye’s phone is probably ringing right now
