Send him a 30 petabyte zip bomb titled “Lockheed Martin Contract Progress”

Man I just love that our dumb fuck leaders are regurgitating Kremlin lies for our dumb fuck citizens to lap up like dogs.

Ideally, they should muster their own men and seize what they can of our military equipment and send our troops packing as disarmed POWs. Any equipment that makes it back to the CONUS will be used against its people, and in the darkest timeline, against them.

Even at its most generous, the title of their findings keeps reading to me as “In Cost-Cutting Endeavor, DOGE, Outraged, Finds that Government is Spending Money”

I already had a coworker try to claim to me that Elon-chan found $100 billion dollars that government employees were racking up on government credit for personal expenses. I am fairly non argumentative in person but even I had to to tell him “that’s bullshit” and explain he’s fabricating excuses to get rid of people and replace them with stooges. Immediately tried to both-sides it and say it’s just replacing one corruption with another.

Lying is certainly effective on our cowardly, ignorant populace.

It’s a comforting thought to believe these people reach some sort of clarity in the end, but that’s often not the case. Plenty of Nazis lived long lives and died long after the Reich did without remorse.

He just as likely died thinking how unfairly he was being treated by the cops and the state.

The beauty of Luigi’s* escapade is that they had no fucking clue who he was until they arrested him - over a hundred miles away in fucking Pennsylvania. If he had committed to the bit and put more thought into the getaway he probably could have gotten away with it completely.

You get hired by this service, they will have all your personal info and that will get handed over to authorities immediately if you went rogue. You would be an FBI top 10 fugitive and have millions of dollars spent on bringing you in, warm or cold.

*allegedly, innocent until proven guilty, etc.

Would you trust your life to be well-protected by someone you hire for $18/hour in a gig economy?

Grifters gonna grift.

They even kept the year, so uncreative

They just feel confident in their progress timeline, given recent events.

This is a good example of how the internet has ruined discourse.

Would you feel comfortable saying this vile filth, that the parents of an 11 year old girl are at fault for her suicide because of their immigration status…in person, at a town hall perhaps? Would you feel safe? That someone, for example, wouldn’t beat every gram and granule of shit out of you?

Minors generally don’t have any personal political compass, especially that young. Kids just fucking suck and put each other down as a matter of recourse. Probably something about seeking worth and belonging in their most vulnerable and formative years.

The racism is just a convenient vehicle for this. Maybe learned from their parents, increasingly common they learned it from the internet and other kids.

“We’re all just cavemen throwing spears at the other village” is not a tremendously helpful or thought-provoking insight, no matter how much truth there is to it.

Government policy is definitely not some illusory construct no matter how poorly the public comprehends or interacts with it.

If these degenerates actually wanted to improve military readiness, they would put 100% of their effort into tackling our long-standing obesity crisis, chiefly by harshly regulating the sale and consumption of absolute shit and taking PE much more seriously in schools. Something like 70% of military age people are physically unfit for service, and the biggest reason is being out of shape. Solving that would improve our footing twentyfold over the [wholly imagined] amount that turning away women and the “morally weak” would do.

But…

1. Too many people make too much money selling absolute shit for food, and they pay their bribes like all special interests in this country.
2. They are here to take hatchets to our foundations like the craven traitors they are, not actually fix anything.

I’m sure they have less scrupulous reasons as well, but one consequence of WFH has been higher rent and housing prices in smaller towns and suburbs. Highly educated professionals are choosing to leave their high-cost living situations in major cities and moving to lower cost homes in these areas and WFH. They still retain the income of big city jobs, so they can outbid anyone local, and it squeezes the supply.

I’m definitely not happy about that aspect, but I also can’t say I wouldn’t do the same thing in their position.

Neo-Confederacy. The slaver South never forgot or forgave, because we never forced them to at the end of a rifle. They kept their hate for the Union alive for all these years.

The plantation owners of old were essentially feudal lords in terms of wealth and influence, so a quasi-monarchy is on brand.

They don’t want court hearings, they want Einsatzgruppen to make their arrests and carry out “swift sentences.”

Prosecuting Mangione as a terrorist undermines his right to a fair trial and risks dismissing valid critiques of systemic healthcare inequities.

Yes, that’s the intent. This is war.

These images could be false leads just as much as Luigi could be a false arrest. People assume these pictures are “the guy” just because they were presented first.

Perhaps some genuine criticism could be levied at the specifics of their immigration policy, but this is JD Vance, that’s not what he’s here for.

When he talks about “shared values” and “what you are fighting for” he’s talking about white Christian dominance in Europe and defending it with the sword. The far right has long seen Europe as a failure of progressive decadence and moral weakness and this speech was a blatant expression of that.

That is why the far right rejects European countries and cozies up to Russia, because the American conservative and the Russian nationalist have quite a lot of “shared values.”

suppressing free speech

Shutting out far-right racists and literal foreign agitators

mishandling migration

Racism

and ignoring populist concerns

More racism

Feels like the New Axis is starting to take tangible shape.

That’s an entire toothpaste factory they would have to unsqueeze. It would be less Emperor Palpatine dissolving the senate and more Yugoslavia circa 1992.
