Initech's JournalTrump was put into place so 700 billionaires can get even richer.
Face it, we are not in control of this country - they are. They went after Kamala because she was attacking the thing that hurts them most - their precious money. Trump will give them what they want. And now he's got one party rule. He will give them everything, and we will get nothing. When both the LA Times and Washington Post failed to endorse Kamala because they were blocked by their billionaire scumbag owners - that should have been a wake up call that the shit was about to hit the fan. Jeff Bezos? He profited big time. He made $20 billion overnight when Trump won. Yes, BILLION. And he owns the Washington Post, who for 8 years has been screaming "Democracy dies in darkness". Well guess what? They just murdered it in broad daylight.
Even worse, the people who he's currently surrounding himself with - are chaos agents. Elon Musk, RFK Jr, Vivek Ramaswamy, Tulsi Gabbard. They will do immense damage to all of our safety nets and our checks and balances. To quote Alfred Pennyworth from the Dark Knight - "Some men just want to watch the world burn". These people are going to be put into immense positions of power to do untold damage to this country. And everyone - including those who voted for Trump - will be affected.
Watch as RFK Jr guts the CDC, the Department Of Health Services, and the FDA and replaces actual science with conspiracy theory quackery. Make America Healthy Again? People are about to get infinitely sicker, and they won't have health insurance or competent doctors to fix them. If there's ever another pandemic worse than COVID, it will be infinitely worse and there will be nothing to stop it as he bans vaccines and drains flouride from the water supply because Alex Jones told him to, so he can sell more of his bullshit water filters.
Watch as Elon and Vivek take a giant Thor-sized hammer to the IRS and the Department Of Education. Then watch all of our safety nets that we've had since the first Great Depression completely disappear. It will be utter chaos. It will make the first Great Depression look like a bad bank withdrawl. Who benefits from this? We don't. The billionaires do. When Larry Ellison - a guy who's worth over $300 billion - can buy his own Hawaiian island - a dream previously only attainable by the craziest James Bond villains - that's fucked up and completely wrong.
If you want to see a preview of where the madness is heading, look no further than Oklahoma - where MAGA scumbag Ryan Walters - a guy who had literally zero experience in education and was installed into his position by Fox News - is wielding immense power over Oklahoma's schools. Now that's about to go nationwide.
Oh and you MAGA loyalists who are throwing our municipal governments - school boards, city councils, etc into complete chaos - guess what? You're getting conned. You're doing the dirty work of the billionaire scumbag class for free. Unless you're getting paid by someone shady. And you won't benefit long term from it, and neither will our students.
We are not in control, they are. They overthrew this country in the name of obscene wealth. And things are about to get worse than you could ever possibly imagine. And when some of Trump's more racist and obscene policies get through, it's going to affect them as much as us. And like the CEO of Home Depot, who recently passed, proved you can't take it with you. How do you starve the billionaires? That's what we need to find out. Until we address what the damage the sheer power that the billionaire class wields, along with unchecked propaganda running rampant, are doing to this country, it's going to be the same shit, different year.
Team Jesus or Team Soros?
https://www.twitter.com/patriottakes/status/1756710871592587275This may be one of the single stupidest things I've ever seen. And I've seen them post some incredibly stupid shit over the years. They do realize that this is SAN FRANCISCO, right? The same San Francisco that the right wing has been shitting on for the last 10 years as a "democrat run city"? The same 49ers team that once employed the same Colin Kaepernick that they once rebelled against? And now all of a sudden they're rooting for the 49ers because they don't want to be associated with Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce? Just... WTF.

Titus nails it again! The MAGAs just get nuttier and nuttier.
Texas troopers told to push children into Rio Grande, deny water to migrants, records say
The July 3 account, reviewed by Hearst Newspapers, discloses several previously unreported incidents the trooper witnessed in Eagle Pass, where the state of Texas has strung miles of razor wire and deployed a wall of buoys in the Rio Grande.
According to the email, a pregnant woman having a miscarriage was found late last month caught in the wire, doubled over in pain. A four-year-old girl passed out from heat exhaustion after she tried to go through it and was pushed back by Texas National Guard soldiers. A teenager broke his leg trying to navigate the water around the wire and had to be carried by his father.

Holy shit. At what point do we say "enough is enough"? Greg Abbott, Ken Paxton, and Dan Patrick are some truly, sick, twisted, murderous, evil fucks who should be doing hard time for these atrocities. And so should their Fox News enablers (Sean Hannity, Steve Bannon, Alex Jones, etc). This is extremely cruel and inhumane.
The GOP wants blood and chaos at the border. They're preparing for an all out assault.
Missouri Rule Change Would Allow Senators to Challenge Each Other to a Duel
Senator Nick Schroer put a motion to the state's Senate to adopt a rule change allowing state politicians to settle grievances through physicality.
His proposed amendment was posted on X, formerly Twitter, by Missouri Senate Democrats. It read: "If a senator's honor is impugned by another senator to the point that it is beyond repair and in order for the offended senator to gain satisfaction, such senator may rectify the perceived insult to the senator's honor by challenging the offending senator to a duel.

WTF.
I got to see one of the GOATs last night, Lewis Black!
OMG if you get the chance and hes in your area definitely go see him one last time!
Armageddon Update - Jesus 2.0
Man Titus lets the Trumpvangelicals really have it! And they deserve all of the shit they get!
3 years since the insurrection. Let's make one thing perfectly clear.
The United States government is not responsible for Ashlii Babbitt's death. You know who is 100% responsible for her death? Ashlii Babbitt. And the people that she chose to listen to over the course of her life. That's what the right does - they refuse to take responsibility for their own actions and blame everybody else when they fail.
You know who is responsible for her death? It's Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Sean Hannity, Steve Bannon, Mike Lindell, TPUSA, Joe Rogan, Ben Shapiro, Charlie Kirk, Marjorie Greene, Lauren Boebert, the list goes on and on. Ultimately leading to Trump himself. If that's your only source of entertainment that's on you. Right wing extremist conspiracy theory propaganda is what got this country in the current mess that it's in. And you can see the damage that it's doing overseas too.
Your media diet says a lot about you. And it has an effect on everybody around you. If you watch nothing but Fox News 24 a day and start holding grudges against the government, that's your choice. You choose to consume this content. Yes, we can point fingers all we want at the people that produce this content, but we should also be watching and monitoring who consumes this content.
The bottom line is that misinformation kills. It's nothing to screw with. We saw that at work during COVID when nearly a million people voluntarily chose to sacrifice themselves because they listened to the bullshit being passed around social media by the likes of Sherri Tenpenny, Robert Kennedy Jr., and Trump himself and threatened to murder actual experts like Dr. Fauci who were telling the truth. Yes there's people out there who really did believe that COVID was caused by lizard people and that hyrdoxycholorquine and ivermectin were the only real cures, fuck the vaccine.
You know what would have prevented this? What would have prevented Trump and the insurrection? Education. But of course the right wing is doing everything they can to ensure that people aren't properly educated. They don't want a well educated populace that's capable of critical thinking. They want a population that's just dumb enough to push the buttons and not ask questions.
Which is why the choices of Ashlii Babbitt and the January 6th prisoners is solely on them. It's in the things they choose to read, watch and listen to. Misinformation kills. Extremist propaganda kills. It's done more damage to this country than Al Qaeda or the Taliban could ever dream of. Don't let yourself get "red pilled". It's bad for you.
Chicago mayor says Abbott causing 'chaos' by sending migrant buses
In an interview on CBS Newss Face the Nation, Johnson confirmed the city of Chicago had seen the arrival of several buses of migrants in the past several nights and that yesterday, the City had even received an unexpected flight arriving in the city.
The governor of Texas, Governor Abbott, is determined to continue to sow seeds of chaos. And last night, and several nights before, a number of buses continued to arrive in the city of Chicago, throughout the country without any coordination, Johnson said. And now hes taken on this very dangerous task of placing individuals on airplanes and flying them into our various cities.
This is certainly a matter of, not just of our national security, but its the type of chaos that this governor is committed to administering, Johnson added.

The real "border crisis" that Fox News won't report is that we have a fucking cruel and inhumane psychopath in charge of the Lone Star State. What is he getting out of this? This isn't funny.
Mixed reactions as Javier Milei wins Argentina presidential election
Taking a chance on the eccentric economists programme of radical reform after decades of economic stagnation, the Latin American nation handed Milei an overwhelming victory on Sunday.
His election heralds a dramatic shake-up of the countrys economy and institutions amid public anger over high inflation and record poverty rates under the centre-left Peronist coalition.
I am a man of democracy, and I value nothing more than the popular verdict. I trust that tomorrow we can start working with Javier Milei to guarantee an orderly transition, said outgoing President Alberto Fernandez.
I congratulate Javier Milei for bravely representing the will to advance and prosper that lives in the hearts of Argentinians. He knew how to listen to the voice of young people and the fatigue of millions of neglected and impoverished people, said former President Mauricio Macri.

BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!! Fuck you Milei and fuck you Putin. The bad guys win again.
