All the republicans in my life for my entire life complained we were heading towards Idiocracy. Who knew they were talking about their literal plans, not just giving a bad omen.

Who knew

Many of us knew. That's how projection works. Every accusation is a confession.

They bitched and moaned for years and then they bought the Brawndo just because the label said FREEDOM!™ (made in China)

Literally dehumanizing. I’m so tired.

So strange this outrageous and distracting action is being reported on when Pam Bondi is under questioning regarding the Epstein files release.

And Pam Bondi being investigated when the Dow is so high!

I'm in my late 50s and had such high hopes for what the 21st century would bring when I was a kid.

Turns out it's brought an increasingly bleak dystopian hellscape. And a shitload of my countrymen are cheering for it.

There is no way that was entirely made by a human (with this government) so I'm waiting for the inevitable security hole that's discovered in it that either lets people take it over completely or leaks immense information.

If anything, they might even prefer for data on suspected illegal immigrants to get leaked to provide right-wing mobs with targets to harass with impunity.

I'm sure that's not their plan, because they're not that smart, but when it happens they'll claim victory.

Oh FFS is that what it is? I watched that lame X-files thing scrolling for a couple minutes without realizing it had anything to do with ICE. Seemed like just more Epstein files distraction.
