Why do Republicans stick with Trump? New study explores the role of white nationalism
Why do many Americans, especially Republican voters, continue to support former President Donald Trump despite serious criminal charges against him?
www.psypost.org
Justice Clarence Thomas has received some 47% of all known gifts given to Supreme Court in the modern era, likely totaling well over $5.87 million: Report
Clarence Thomas scores more gifts than any other justice by far, watchdog says
Thomas, for his part, acknowledged only 27 gifts on federal disclosure forms. The justice's aversion to transparency has resulted in significant and sustained discussion about judicial ethics before.

Its articles like this that make me happy that I'm an old fart and I'm not going to have to deal with the worst of the artificial intelligence garbage that is to come. At least I hope it doesn't come on fast enough that I will. While I was in the fashion industry for a decade or so, I was never a big fan of the pageant side of that industry, due mostly to the nature of the people who populated it. I guess now they don't even have to be actual people, so the often disturbing issue of "the pageant mothers" will switch to the "model creators" and will likely not be quite as destructive.

Any progressive who spent even a millisecond defending this absolutely evil corporation is a rube.
Sure, they're friendly to the LGBTQ community. Who fucking cares? They're an entertainment company. That's sort of table stakes for that industry. And they've now rolled over for self-hating homosexual Ron's pathetic régime of discrimination against the gay and trans community.
Walt Disney was a literal fucking Nazi. Modern Disney makes their money via:
- Slavery and child labor overseas
- Paying poverty wages and gouging consumers domestically
- Dicking over writers, actors, and tradesmen in Hollywood
- Buying politicians to write intellectual property laws for their personal benefit

Congratulations America. The right wing nut jobs have promised to burn it all down, and the Republican Party is doing everything it can to give them the tools. As you can see by the date, this is not new, but it is way more destructive when social media platforms make it easier and easier to reach wider audiences and poison the conversation.

I suppose it depends upon who you call Christians. Do you mean the people who "walk in the steps of Jesus" or otherwise actually follow his teachings? Or do you mean the pretenders, the people who use Christianity as a sword or a shield and ignore the actual teachings of the man they call the Son of God? If you're referring to the former, I would say none. If you refer to the latter, I would say all. In actual fact, I don't think it is possible for anyone to follow Trump, and also follow Jesus. Donald Trump is the Antichrist.

Wow. I didn't believe in magic until I saw all Trump's dogs turn into snakes
Well this just means that 40 out of 44 ended up being secret Deep State Demonrats.
Look. Mr. Trump is a businessman. He only hires the best people. So 91% of his hires betrayed him. Who cares. Are you telling me a baseball player with a .091 batting average is a bad player?

This is one of the biggest drops in violent crime in US history.
www.theguardian.com
LOL I like that the headline says "many believe violent crime is higher". Just say "many Right Wingers have shit for brains".
It's one thing to believe cops aren't bothering to report petty theft. It's a whole other thing to believe people are being murdered and no one is reporting it.
Don't get me wrong, Conservatives. I think the Pigs are extremely lazy. But they still have to fill out a report for fucking murders and rapes
The spike in crime during 2020 and 2021 isn't some big mystery either. We had a once in a century pandemic coupled with the weakest social safety net in the modern world. That leads to an increase in desperation. And desperation leads to more crime.
You don't decrease crime by hiring more Pigs and building more Prisons. We already put a bigger percentage of our population behind bars than Communist China. You lower crime by decreasing desperation.

Progressives Drag Hillary Clinton for Endorsing Jamaal Bowman’s Opponent: ‘Funded by Pro-Trump GOP Donors’

This primary race has been chock full of smear, I had a barrage of mailings from a Jewish organization asking me to become a Democrat so I could vote for Latimer in the primary ("You can always change back!"). He has been co-opted by the pro-Israel set (who have thrown millions at him largely unsolicited) --- typically conservative Trump people, in these parts anyway...and he's on the wrong side of history, far as I can tell.

I was wondering why Latimer was saying shit like, Bowman doesn't represent New York. He represents Dearborn Michigan (wink, wink) and San Francisco values (wink, wink). This primary is targeting Republicans.
Look, I don't think Bowman is perfect. But he's one of about 5 Left of center politicians in Congress. And I think what's happening to him is absolutely vile.
It's also pretty radicalizing to see the Democratic establishment hold hands with the "MAGA Republicans" they supposedly hate to take Bowman out.
