Right now, the answer to authoritarianism isn’t to be quiet. It’s not matching pink outfits at a state address. It’s not throwing trans people under the bus. It’s not refusing to look at the party at all and see where it could be better. The answer is to very publicly, very loudly, very boldly, stand up. The only way to fight fascism, and this has been proven over and over and over again, is loudly, proudly, and every single day.”

Sounds infinitely better than the current Democratic/Nazi-lite party. Just don’t take money from billionaires. That’s how it starts.

American here. Please buy European. Make the American oligarchs who supported Trump because they wanted lower taxes at the expense of global stability see their stock prices drop. That’s the only language they understand.

his political opponents have denounced the tightly orchestrated Jan. 26 election as a farce. The Belarus Central Election Commission declared he won with nearly 87% of the vote after a campaign in which four token challengers on the ballot all praised his rule.

“Elections” coming to what used to be a democracy near you. Realize what you’re voting for when you vote right wing authoritarian, aka Nazism.

That said, Lukashenko is a legit contender for a stabilizing leader of the Russian federation once Putin dies or accidentally falls out of a window.

It’s only a few months in. I wonder if what is left of Trump considers bringing professionals back into the room. That’s how he got through his first term. He has children working for him that need an adult.

The most stable currency in human history liquidated to buy the least stable, and it won’t even crack the top 10 dumbest ideas this week.

Probably Israeli intelligence. Maybe the Saudis too.

The Venezuelan “terrorist” gang is just a test balloon. They’re seeing if they can get away with rounding up people and deporting them with zero due process.

If they get away with it, they’ll eventually designate a Mexican cartel as “terrorists” under the same law and use it to arrest and deport anyone of Mexican origin that they want. The same for every other non-white majority country.

These people are openly Nazis. They’re doing Nazi shit right in front of everyone and getting away with it. The Supreme Court could stop it, but will they? And if they do, will their orders be enforced?

Incompetence is the order of the day. What they’re worried about are people of conscience. Anyone who might question mass roundups and concentration camps needs to be discovered and fired early.

.. and used it to buy a Swastikar. Yes, Tim Pool is on the Kremlin’s payroll as an American propagandist. No, the authorities aren’t doing a single thing to stop it. He’s one of very, very many.

Wait until you see what he posted in the War Thunder forums in a 2am drunken haze.

The Great Link is on Signal and randos are invited.

I wonder how many times this has happened with non-journalists who took money or favors to keep it quiet. I also wonder how many times it was done deliberately. Maybe Kushner and his bros adding some Saudis to the sensitive diplomatic talks on Signal.

Roberts gets to preside over the end of the rule of law in America. 1801-2015. All the rulings he has a hand in lead up to this. Loyalty to party over country inflicted a potentially mortal wound to the country.
