Republicans: continued

Kash Patel just testified in front of Congress today. And it was the single most unhinged oversight hearing I’ve ever seen.
The man is the FBI Director. But he talks like a terminally online reply guy. He was screaming, lying, sneering, like a Reddit troll cosplaying as J. Edgar Hoover. If you didn’t know who he was, you’d think he got kicked off Truth Social for being too unstable.
This was fan fiction for an audience of one. 1/2

Tiny anti trump move.

Congress voted in a bipartisan manner to change the names of military bases named after Confederates. The President vetoed it and Congress overwhelmingly overrode the veto. The new names were of Medal of Honor recipients, heroes like Eisenhower and names recommended by Gold Star spouses. SECDEF disrespected Congress and the families of those whom the bases were named after by changing the names back.

It's pathetic that simply stating the truth is enough to constitute an 'anti trump move.' Even such a minimal statement requires what passes for courage in the heart of a Republican politician. Representative from Nebraska Don Bacon (retired military officer, unsurprisingly). Shouldn't that hide that light, however faint, under a basket.

Kash Patel was chewing the scenery while the Democratic senators took turns playing his straight man. As far as in person trolling goes, it was a more than adequate performance. Then again the man has years of experience as a professional troll.

Only in America a Jew becomes a Nazi.

Stephen N. Miller[1] was born on August 23, 1985,[2] in the North of Montana neighborhood in Santa Monica, California.[3] Miller was the second of three children[4] to Michael and Miriam (née Glosser) Miller.[5][a] Michael was a lawyer and real estate investor, while Miriam was a social worker.[7] They were New Deal Democrats[8] with conservative views.[9] Miller is of Eastern European Jewish descent through his mother and father, who were grandchildren of Jews who escaped persecution;[5] his maternal great-great-grandfather, Wolf Glosser, was born in Antopal, Belarus, and immigrated to the United States in 1903 amid pogroms in the Russian Empire that began following the assassination of Alexander II.[7] Wolf—who changed his name to Louis upon arriving in Ellis Island—and his son, Nathan, founded Glosser Brothers in 1906 in Johnstown, Pennsylvania.[10]

if you believe that's an 'only in America' thing, just look at how the israeli state has been behaving since its inception... started by throwing itself on the Holy Land / Palestine, like Nazi Germany did on the Sudetes and Poland, and ever since has been cooping up populations of the 'wrong' ethnicity in concentration camps, when it did not turn those into extermination camps...

Look, the next person who calls him a fascist is going to get their fucking head kicked in by ICE, ok?

A recent article in Psychology Today reported on a 2024 confirmation study based on earlier studies at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln and the University College London that found that conservatives have a larger amygdala than liberals. The amygdala is an organ in the brain that regulates perception of threat. People with larger amygdalas are more fearful of the environment around them. The article even suggested (with little validity) that this marks an evolutionary divergence in humans.

I went to Target and Walmart looking for the same thing, neither had it. But I did get to check the customers. All white people except for one black at Target. We are a city, but the customers are almost homogeneous at every Walmart in the state. They are 90% Republicans. Half of them are overweight, and a few of them carry concealed weapons. Nobody at a Target in daytime will have a weapon. Some stores in bigger cities will have the occasional gun. The Target customers here in the prairie will be 50-60% Democrats.

You do get a few skinny people in Wal Mart. Those are the poor people and college students trying to save a few dollars.

seriously, supermarket custom is a political marker your side?

It is now. All the ones no longer hiring deaf people or brown people to fill a quota (no DEI) are being avoided by Democrats.

The one getting some praise is Costco. Disregarding Trump. So it has customers across a range of views. But also a good number of fat ones. Food comes in huge packages.

Walmart has its own member store: Sam's Club. My first job gave me a free membership there.

Fat is a political identifier? Are they putting something in the fries?

You can’t really. Tero is just surrounded by Republicans anyway.

I went to the local symphony 4-5 times. There were a few hundred Democrats. And all the anti-Trump rallies.
