OK, Frump & Frexit avoided. The downside is that now, for the first time in my life, I'm marginally older than the president of a country with a permanent seat in the UNSC, but I'll take it...

[!@#$%!]

i think it's great. i'm for celebrating any good thing. even if le pen is now a "serious" candidate and continues to pose great danger.

who ultimately won the election? The banker Emmanuel Macron, the most guaranteed continuation of the status quo, and possibly the least likely candidate to bring any sort of change.

That Obama guy was truly devious. Sets up Donnie Jingles with Flynn on a mystery date, then tapes the resulting hilarity. Really took a page out of the old Punk'd playbook. All around delicious stuff.

banker = Rothschilds
Emmanuel = Jew name
quo = quo vadis!
change = pogroms

yes?

What the fuck is going on?

My head is spinning today. I really can't put together all the pieces and explain reality to myself. Don't like this feeling.

banana republics are run by the caprices of the tyrant of the day

not by laws or institutions or procedures, but by moods and caprices and whims

that's the new reality

From Demand Progress:

Our first big deadline to make sure the FCC knows the majority of Americans are on Team Internet, not Team Cable, is TONIGHT.

http://act.demandprogress.org/sign/t...et-neutrality/

Net neutrality. The idea that every site, and every user, is treated the same online. It’s the principle that the internet should be an open platform where anyone can build a website, open a business, make art, start a movement, and create community. And that no cable company or internet provider has the right to interfere with what you do online.

Now that fundamental principle is in mortal danger. This is our fight.

Sign your name: Save the Internet. Tell FCC Chair Ajit Pai to drop his plan to kill net neutrality.

When Aaron Swartz co-founded Demand Progress in 2010, he knew that a free and open internet was fundamental to freedom of speech and expression in the 21st century. The internet has eclipsed all other mediums as a platform for the free exchange of ideas. It has unleashed the power of ordinary people like nothing else. Online activism has literally toppled dictators.

But all the good the internet does for people could be stifled or destroyed by the likes of Comcast and Verizon if Trump’s FCC chair gets his way.

If Comcast, Verizon, and the other big internet service providers are allowed to block or throttle sites, or create paid prioritization schemes, they will essentially be in charge of the internet.

Don’t let Comcast take the internet from you. Sign our petition to save net neutrality.

You worked hard to win the FCC’s Open Internet Order in 2015, which classified the internet as a public utility, thus guaranteeing net neutrality. It’s going to take all of us working even harder to save it.

Just last Sunday, John Oliver featured the fight to save net neutrality on his show, and the number of people submitting their comments to the FCC to save the free and open internet crashed the website. (Don't worry, ours is still up and running fine!)

That’s why Demand Progress and our coalition set a goal to gather 1 million grassroots actions in support of Title II net neutrality protections before the FCC has its first vote on whether to kill the rules. We know we’re up to the challenge.

Add your name to save net neutrality.

Thanks for all you do,

The Team at Demand Progress

The Washington Post's interactive graphic of connections between Trumpoids and Russians is the shit!

The last 72 hours or so have been the craziest yet of this Clowncar White House. There have been more consequential events since January 20 (Gorsuch, for instance... although that was more of a Congressional battle), but the last 2-3 days, Christ on a stick, everybody there seems to be having a meltdown thanks to Trump, who, by the way, of course picked the worst/best possible moment to do this:

 

To which all media was banned... except for Russia's TASS. Blatant corruptionpocalypse aside, this motherfucker doesn't even compute how shit will be perceived.

 

WHAT?
