Really getting that “Imperial Russia” aesthetic.

I think it’s necessary to stop the insanity on the right. It’s either that or we’re done as a democracy/republic. The only good thing to come out of this is that more ppl are paying attn now. Cold comfort.

You know what this reminds me of? Peterhof Palace. In Russia.

Are you a jealous Admiral?

He’s just like us.

Violence in the last thirty years, to take your arbitrary timeline of relevance, is not limited to Islamic nations or groups. A quick list of conflicts that come to mind include: the Rwandan genocide, FARC in Columbia, Charles Taylor’s rise to power in Liberia, ethnic cleansing in the Balkans (there were Muslims…

Yeah, I’ve been a supporter of a limited election season and a hard cap on campaign fund usage for a long time. There’s really no reason not to do it other than our current system generates a shit ton of money.

It is almost as though the WH lies just for the sake of lying, now: it has become so reflexive. That they might lose face were they truthful to the American people on any subject.

Yeah, it’s almost as though there’s just something about them that’s . . . different —

more convincing with each day..

A Myrtle Beach man was arrested by the FBI yesterday for planning a “Dylann Roof-style” attack on a synagogue. Today, a building in Miami housing an Israeli consulate was evacuated after threats were made. And neo-Nazis pamphleted a Baltimore suburb with antisemitic flyers.

I’m involved. I’ve been involved with this stuff all my life. But I’m involved. So I know when you are telling the truth or when you are not. I just see many, many untruthful things. I will tell you what else I see. I see tone. You know the word tone. The tone is such hatred. I’m really not a bad person, by the way.

I hear there are “secret black meetings” monthly in most major cities.

I was in the car flipping channels and caught that exact section. I felt ill. It’s madness.

He clearly had an idea in his head about what his presidency would look like : huge crowds screaming his name, ceremonial signings of leather bound bullshit executive orders, money flowing into his-I mean his children’s coffers and the best approval ratings in the history of ratings. Things would be so amazing, that…

This is a campaign stop so Trump’s team can have much more crowd control, which is really encouraging to me. From NYTimes article:

This is ripe for mocking but its really fucking chilling at the core of it. His supporters seem a little quiet these days so he’s going to rile them up again. This has fucking Bannon written all over it, it gets his supports frothing at the mouth again and fulfils Trump’s extreme neediness for applause and adulation.…

The greatest trick the Neoconservatives ever pulled off was convincing the country of the extreme liberal bias in the media.

One of the Republican party’s traditional strengths is to take a single person and make them outrageous to the Republican base. In particular this works well with any sort of government assistance. People’s desire for fairness, and their attraction to the salacious make the 1 in 10,000 abuser of a system be…

This. It absolutely boggles my mind that DuVos has been so vocal since her confirmation. It’s just like, “You realize that the pretty much everyone you are now in charge of is going to fight you every step of the way, right?!”
