Like I had to include that many different outlets in order to provide a full picture. FYI, APNews reported about this in late August. The fact that the NYT is telling you about it this week means that something very wrong occurred for two months while they didn't.

The rightwing having a 1000-page guide to their overthrow of the country is what I would call the most important event of this year on US soil.

Do you want to only be told about the climate change rejection and not the other plans? That's what's fucked up.

What in that article explains his apology better?

He switched from left to right because of a youtube video and then broke into a government official's house with a deadly weapon.

He then used the deadly weapon when he knew he would be caught.

Fuck him.

His sad snff snff Rittenhouse dance in court is just to avoid life in prison.

They're not mulling. That's the plan.

That is not a slim majority.

Who? You mean the people planning to destroy democracy?

Pfft.

House Republicans launched an impeachment inquiry in September, following months of probes. They allege that Biden and his family have personally profited from policy decisions made by Biden when he was vice president during former President Barack Obama's administration.

Cuz the VP makes policy decisions. Look at all of Kamala's policy decisions. Remember Pence's policy decisions? LOL

My problem is that, anytime anybody says anything about Project 2025, they only talk about one of the many things included.

Let's be very specific about what all is included in Project 2025:

1-Establish that Article 2 of the Constitution gives the president power to do whatever he wants.

2-Fire the civil service and replace it with Trump loyalists.

3-Immediately implement the insurrection act and use the military to fight protesters.

4-Use the DoJ to target critics

5-Weaken the election security agency

6-Reject climate change

7-Remove all LGBTQ+ protections

8-Bring the Bible into government

And all of this is public and written in a 1000-page handbook by the Heritage Foundation.

This raises the question of why I just had to include 9 different sources. That's because the media is only sharing this piecemeal even though it should be news shared with everybody. Their coverage is rubbish.

If we cannot rely on the media to do their job, it means we have to work around them. Please pass this whole post on to whoever will listen.

Vote.

Out of those 3 options, I would prefer the flashlight.

Even if you already have a flashlight, you can always find another place that would benefit from one nearby.

I also just say that I don't buy in at all to Darn Tough socks. This person can't where any other brand of socks? Bullshit. You can just buy new generic socks before you get anywhere close to the price you'll pay for gourmet socks.

Also depending on the person's interests, getting them a boardgame could be nice.

OMFG, my fucking nose is gone!

Chrome is feeling its numbers drop, so they're backing off until people stop paying attention. Then they'll go right ahead with the plan.

 

What’s happening in Russia right now?

 

Convoy of fighters loyal to Yevgeny Prigozhin advances north after breaking through barricades in Lipetsk

 

President Vladimir Putin is vowing to punish the organizers of an armed rebellion after mercenary chief Yevgeny Prigozhin led his troops out of Ukraine and into a key city in southern Russia. The uprising, which Putin called “a stab in the back,” was the biggest threat to his leadership in over two decades in power.

 

Wagner mercenaries are heading towards the capital as Putin’s presidency comes under threat for the first time.
