Hi I'm Tim.

I'm AuDHD - officially diagnosed ADHD and self-diagnosed (for now) with ASD. I also suffer from a great deal of Imposter Syndrome.

  • Elon Musk rages as judges uphold DOGE blockade: ‘Attempted coup!’

    Jump

  • “Democracy in America is being destroyed by judicial coup"

    • Elon on Twitter

    Coup definition: "a sudden, violent, and unlawful seizure of power from a government."

    So, a federal judge putting the brakes on your dismantling of our government and its checks and balances is a "coup"? OK, does this mean we took the country back and we don't have to worry about Musk or his VP Don anymore?

    And if there is a judiciary in the US destroying our democracy it's the Supreme Court, but oddly he has no issues with them.

    Edit Spelling is my nemesis, and autocorrect is the enemy of my enemy, but I hate them both.

  • This is the 2nd high profile Democrat, as he pardoned that Gov. the other day. He is normalizing corruption, while painting the punishment as "witch hunts". His administration is also working to roll back all bribery and ethics around people in office.

    Draining the swamp indeed! /s

  • Should also be a visit to a cemetery to get a photo at a soldier's grave, and while there also disparage said soldiers as "suckers". Learn to commit white color crimes, which of course aren't crimes at all if your white/wealthy, and should be called out as "political witch hunts". And the most important item of all, is to learn to "deny everything!".

  • And the fact they are retaining pics of people's genitals and you need to opt out by calling him. How long before someone cracks one open to share online? And what are the chances it gets just your genitals and not also your face in the frame?

    This also sounds like it'll be abused by ppl, that for some reason have really taken an interest in double checking that it's "working right", and just happen to be cacheing their favs to share with their bros.

    Edit Didn't even think about the fact I hope this shit isn't anyplace kids are ever a likelihood. 🤢

    *Edit Sorry missed the fake part - just seems totally plausible in the current climate in the US.

  • Whatever happened to Antifa?

    Jump

  • Exactly, and you saw a lot more antifa folks showing up during the BLM protests because they were countering the Proud Boys and other chuds. Since a lot of top ranking Proud Boys went away for J6, and BLM protests have stopped we haven't seen antifa in the streets is all.

  • JD did the first post saying that being a racist piece of shit shouldn't ruin the rest of your life. Which is especially sad because this kids racist rant was about violence against people from India should be ok (and his wife is Indian along with his kids).

    Then the media asked Trump who of course pretended to know nothing and said if JD said he should have it back he should. Then Elon posted on his own platform that the kid was coming back.

  • Yeah, had to throw his kids and wife under the bus of racism so that Elon wouldn't get mad. Poor JD ran as #2 and has been regulated to distant #3 already.

  • it's good to look in the mirror and understand the material outcomes of voter behavior

    Jump

  • So your saying people really need a "Mel Gibson" to compel them to not vote for a Hitler (and this is post actual Hitler so we already know the playbook)? The fact that it's even a debate for people is unconscionable for me. How is allowing a man looking to harm a large section of the American population even a choice? How do you not vote against him just so that you can at least know you tried to save someone, even if you yourself feel helpless and without hope. You at least didn't help a man that is going to harm so many.

  • That’s the point that people are trying to make though. That’s the only thing democrats ran on. Everything we’ve done is great, everything is getting greater, if you’re not with us then things are going to go to hell.

    OK, not the message I got, but I guess it's probably different depending on the media you consume. In saying that though, what part of voting for a fascist did you [or those not doing great] think would improve overall?

    That rings hollow when many people you know are NOT doing great, you do NOT feel anything improving and everything is getting slowly worse, oh and if you don’t vote for us you are gonna feel even worse we promise you.

    The issue I have here is that Trump was not new to politics this time around.

    • He ran in 2016 and won.
    • He gave tax breaks to the riches people of this country [1%], while enacting tariffs to drive up the cost of everything for the 99%.
    • He went after peoples health insurance with no plan on how to replace it, despite constantly saying it was easy [though his attempts were blocked].
    • Attacked earned benefits [which thankful was blocked also].
    • He hung out with former Grand Wizard of the KKK David Duke, and had dinner with proud white supremacist Nick Fuentes. He also said there was "very fine people on both sides" when white supremacists marched in Charlottesville, and eventually killed a counter-protester. He responded to BLM protests with great disgust, praising violence used against peaceful protesters. He took great delight in using tear gas and rubber bullets so he could do a photo-op outside a church where he held and upside-down Bible.
    • Then COVID came for us all. He purposefully ignored experts, made doctors the enemy, lied to millions about the dangers, pushed conspiracy theories. Millions died as a result.
    • A recession was made worse by ignoring COVID and the effects it would have on supply chains the world over, the work force, and the nations health [long COVID, mental health, etc.].
    • Upon losing the election he led an insurrection against the US capital, watching the events live from the White House.
    • A laundry list of people in Trump's orbit were caught up in law suits involving everything from his fake electors, to the insurrection itself, to defamation.
    1. Defamation: Trump 2x guilty, Rudy 1x guilty with several still awaiting trial, Fox News 1x guilty.
    2. Classified documents: Trump and lawyers charged - saved by Supreme Court and tied up to run out the clock.
    3. Insurrection: "Of the more than 1,265 individuals charged since Jan. 6, 2021, department prosecutors have secured more than 718 guilty pleas -- including 213 who pleaded to felonies that include assaults on federal officers, obstructing law enforcement and seditious conspiracy."
      • NY Election Interference [Falsifying Business Records] - Trump found guilty on all counts and with help of Supreme Court was able to run the clock out and only got the felonies on his record - no jail/probation time. His "fixer" Michael Cohenn served his sentence for this prior to Trump's trial. Trump's CFO Allen Weisselberg went to prison once because he wouldn't flip, then got out and lied again, earning him an additional sentence at Rikers.
    • You then have the 2024 campaign:
    1. He suggested he wanted generals like Hitler.
    2. He doubled down on fallen military were "suckers".
    3. Hannibal Lecter [who isn't real] was a great.
    4. Admitted during his debate that he had no plan for health care still [almost 9yrs later - only "concepts of a plan"].
    5. An assault on people of color, disabled, immigrants, women, LGBTQ+. Often referring to them as sub-human or vermin.
    6. Denied knowing about Project 2025, but chose the guy that wrote the forward for the main authors book as his VP [Vance]. He also packed his administration with contributors knowing full well "the plan".

    And so, so, so much more.

    All this is to say, what part of any of this wall of text would help someone hurting? What part of this hate would fix people not seeing an improvement to their quality of life? How would this make it easier for themselves or their neighbors? The guy didn't come out of nowhere, people knew the kinda of terror he planned for all of us for 9+ years and for whatever reason chose Nazi over what probably would have been more "status quo".

  • Get out of here with that both sides bullshit. If you voted for a Nazi you wanted a Nazi more than a working country, full stop. And those that did and are now somehow surprised he is doing exactly what he said he would are getting no sympathy from me, and they should be taking responsibility for the pain being waged against marginalized groups.

  • It's also frustrating to spread the word and make sure everyone knows the consequences. And then with everyone 100% knowing the outcome, decided a fascist was the best choice. The guy who had a playbook out months in advance detailing his plans of terror and destruction. The guy that every time he opened his mouth spewed racism, Hitler praising, promises of being a dictator, conspiracy theories, and on and on. And people heard/saw that and were like, YEP!

    The idea still blows my mind. And I'm not sure I'll get to a point where I can understand why someone would sell us all out like that, and then still consider us on the same side.

  • It also takes longer than 4 years to rebound everyone out of the spiral Trump left the nation in. I think messaging around realistic goals and checkpoints could go a very long way to allowing people to understand no President is going to save everyone in a single term, or probably in 2 terms, especially if they have a crater to climb out of just to start at zero. Real change is a long term goal, it would take multiple administrations working towards a goal.
