Can someone check my math? I’m estimating Trumps first term tax cuts saved the top 1% at least $100b durning his first term. Trump is complaining about less than $9m being spent here. $9m is 0.009% of $100b. Did I get that all right?

It is closer to $2.5. trillion.

But you aren’t a conservative. If you ever argued with one about this it will boil down to: taxes are theft, the rich are entitled to those tax cuts.

Researchers tested drug cross interactions. On mice. The most common subjects in lab tests.

Take a grain of truth. Twist it. It is the core idea behind every fascist propaganda machine.

Also, take the opportunity to also attack freedom of the press, dehumanize trans people, and delegitimize scientific research and healthcare.

In theory this will be available for the remainder of the history of the United States too

All of this needs to be, for the same reason what Nazi Germany did should be remembered. Humans are dumb fucks and WILL do this again (after the US collapse, I mean), but maybe it will be held it off for a bit longer.

White House is now a branch of newsmax

[–] [email protected] 19 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nah, newsmax has better editorial standards.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

You’re actually right. Newsmax is still beholden to the law and has been taken to task over their bullshit.

The troubling thing is that this is Trump signaling the right wing media that it’s ok to go even harder.

It belongs in a museum!

Wait, I mean, after the war it will!

It will be important to never (re)forget (again) so that we won't (re(re(re(re(re)))))repeat the same mistake (again).

Can we take the time to acknowledge that the phrase “fake news losers at cnn” was used in an official executive white house release? This is on par with the release they put out a couple weeks ago that spelled “executive” as ecexutive” 🥴🤡 America is cooked.
