Absolutely brilliant satire. "These “Guess Stops” will be staffed by special agents known as Guess Stop Officers, or “Guess-Stop-O” for short. The Guess-Stop-O will make crime disappear by making undesirable people disappear."
McSweeney's@mcsweeneys.net · 11mo ago"As you’re smashing car windows and pulling people out of their cars, you might be wondering how to determine whether the person is undocumented or not, or even whether you should be violently detaining them in the first place."

"Small government" was always code for "i'm sad we lost the Civil War, and I want a Confederate/Robber Baron Emperor"
Brad Reed@bwreed.bsky.social · 11mo agoAgain: They never, ever wanted 'small government.' They merely loathed the idea of a government doing things to benefit the people they hate. They love the idea of a government dedicated to pummeling the people they hate.
Opinion: In meeting with Ukraine President Volodymyr Zelenskyy and European leaders, President Trump again embarrassed America with his naïveté and narcissism.

Marco Rubio so desperately wants to be a REAL boy, but remains nothing but a small, wooden puppet on a string. Pathetic.

My plan to revive American manufacturing is to: raise the price of inputs like steel, aluminum & copper; create shortages of rare earths; generate less electricity; invite retaliatory tariffs; cut R&D; raise borrowing costs by blowing out the budget; and to cover it all in a cloud of uncertainty.
🚨🚨The White House is pissed off about this ad so you know what to do, share it everywhere! ICE is disappearing people just because of the color of their skin! No Warrant! No Due Process! This is not who we are as Americans! #MAGAKidnappers want an all white America, fuck that‼️

Doesn't mean inequality isn't killing us. It does mean higher inflation-adjusted wages for the working poor, which used to matter for voting.
