He couldn't have made his intentions any clearer. I think people just figured the Senate, SCOTUS and the DOJ would keep him in check. They didn't see him taking control of those to this extent.
Now people are about to find out just how much control he has over the military.
US democracy is dead. None of the elected democrats are calling it for what it is because if they say the system is broken they will lose their authority instantly.
They are pretending things are still functional so they can hang onto their power as long as possible.
Is the FBI being deliberately cruel to the Guthrie family for some reason? The head of the FBI getting publicly smashed while your mother is still being held by kidnappers is particularly callous.
What a disgrace Kash Patel is. The whole administration too.
"Culturally normal" - This guy was married to Kimberly Guilfoyle.
Edit: What's normal is up for debate. Some said speaking about Palestine was not normal and that appears to have had a major impact on the last election.
"It would be so much easier for Canada if they just agreed to join the US."
Most threatening line from all Trump's attacks for me. It might seem harmless but it reads: "it would be so much easier for you (for the US) if you just stop struggling."
Unfortunately The Daily Show, The Weekly Show with Jon Stewart and Late Night with Colbert are all Larry Ellison productions so even though they may sound adversarial they're just helping to treat Trump like politics-as-usual in the US.
It really isn't though. This is an authoritarian coup. By the time the elections roll around it'll be too late to make them fair and democratic. The Media is one of the reasons why.
There were popular alternatives to those at the time that ended up becoming even bigger than them. For some reason the popular ones these days aren't getting swiftly adopted. I think a lot of people might be getting tired of switching platforms all the time.
I think the fact all these companies were named at once is to overwhelm any effort to protest. People might be up for boycotting one company but probably not all of them listed so they end up boycotting none.
I'm so tired of these companies using their market shares to sell their users out without the fear of boycott, reprisal or significant impact on their business.
I've been really enjoying finding alternatives and the feeling of control over my own life I gain every time I switch to one. Then whenever these big guys betray their user base I just laugh.
