Quote from: Faust on Yesterday at 05:42:40 PMYeah irs embarrassing. The us needs a regime change
I amuse myself by calling the current administration "the Turd Reich." But, it's really not all that funny, because this administration really is a nascent fascist regime.

My hope is that the Resistance 2.0 will continue to grow, and that it will be influential enough on Election Day, Tuesday, November 3rd, 2026, to take away the Republicult's™ control of the U.S. House of Representatives. I am well aware of the difficulties involved in wrestling control of the U.S. House of Representatives away from this fascist regime. Nevertheless, it has to be done to save the republic.

Unfortunately, the sociopath-in-chief has chosen what I consider to be the greater of two evils.

I do not see this ending well for my country.

So, it appears we won't be treated to the next episode of this particular reality TV show spin off for a couple of weeks. I'm uncertain if I should be relieved by the delay, or not.

It just goes to show that resolving a love triangle really is a bitch.

It occurred to me, at the time of this posting, that I'm watching a love triangle involving 'Merica's sociopath-in-chief, Russia's Vladimir Putin, and Israel's Benjamin Netanyahu. It appears the sociopath-in-chief is currently having a lover's quarrel with Putin, while also being in love with Netanyahu.

On the one hand, I suspect the sociopath-in-chief believes that if he can get credit for orchestrating a Russian-Ukrainian peace deal, he can win himself a Nobel Peace Prize, and get to build Trump Towers in Moscow and St. Petersburg. So, in the malignant narcissist's mind, that is an easy, low risk, ego stroking, double win out there for the taking.

On the other hand, if the sociopath backs Netanyahu, I suspect he's thinking he could bask in the glory of being a victorious, wartime president for the rest of his life, secure the eternal adulation of 'Merica's evangelicals, be outright deified by his shit-eating MAGAts, all the while profiting bigly off of 'Merica's vast military-industrial complex. So, being a chickenhawk, a malignant narcissist, and indescribably greedy, this option has to be extremely tempting. In fact, I don't doubt he's literally salivating over it.

Still, there are many very real, very significant risks involved with backing Netanyahu, if the plan were to go South. So, by comparison, backing Putin is a far, far safer bet. In addition, I'm sure Putin is calling the sociopath-in-chief several times a day, trying to sweet-talk the turd into backing him instead. After all, if Iran goes to war with anyone, Russia is guaranteed to lose access to all of the drones, ballistic missiles, ammunition, etc., that Iran is currently supplying to Putin's bogged down war effort.

So, what's the sociopath-in-chief to do? Love triangles are a bitch.

Techmology and Scientism / Scientific Proof of Republicul...
Last post by Abbot Mythos - June 18, 2025, 11:07:07 AM
To the surprise of absolutely no one, what we've always known to be true has been scientifically proven, according to the following study:

Study finds Republicans flagged for posting misleading tweets twice as often as Democrats on Community Notes

As per this study:

""Our findings provide strong evidence of a partisan asymmetry in misinformation sharing which cannot be attributed to political bias on the part of fact-checkers or academic researchers," said Professor Mohsen Mosleh, associate professor of social data science at the Oxford Internet Institute, part of the University of Oxford.

"Even on Elon Musk's X, the user-based Community Notes program flags posts by Republicans as misleading much more often than posts by Democrats. This undercuts the logic offered by Musk and Mark Zuckerberg for eliminating fact-checkers on X and Meta, respectively, namely that fact-checkers are biased against Republicans.""

Now, I want to find a scientific study about the average Republican Intelligence Quotient. I suspect the conclusions of such a study will be equally unsurprising.

Following is a long article about another well known Republicult™ turd.

I won't bore anyone with quotations. But, I found this article to be a little comforting, after noting it had been published on The Salt Lake Tribune website.

'This is not a joke': Sen. Amy Klobuchar rips Mike Lee for posts about a deadly Minnesota shooting

On a personal X account, Lee made apparent jokes tying the violence to Minnesota Democratic Gov. Tim Walz.

It's good to know there are some actual human beings to be found even within a bastion of The Republicult™. We need everyone we can muster to fight back against a political cult that has clearly embraced domestic terrorism.

Quote from: Abbot Mythos on June 15, 2025, 07:02:34 PMUnfortunately for a fascist regime that produces reality TV performances for its adoring, shit-eating MAGAt followers, this show appears to have been a ratings bust. Now, the official TV rating numbers aren't in yet, but the video footage clearly shows near empty bleachers along the parade route. And, I haven't seen any estimates of the parade crowd size above 10,000 people.

Quote from: Bruno on June 15, 2025, 01:13:09 AMWent to a No Kings protest today. Turnout was about 1500, which is pretty good for my podunk little town.

Only had a couple yahoos shouting obscenities at us from their cars. I pointed and laughed at them.

Fun stuff.

Hell yeah
