Judge-shopping has been a core strategy of the Heritage Foundation and one of their top priorities. They’ve been quietly paving the road leading to the current fascist mess by appointing extreme-right, extreme-right-adjacent and corrupt judges for years.

And now the trap has sprung. There is no justice in this country anymore.

We know Trump had exceptionally close ties to Epstein, no amount of gaslighting is going to swing that many people to forget that.

You’re deluded.

The MAGA morons who voted him into office knew he was buddy-buddy with the dead pedo before the election. And they knew their racehorse is a convicted sexual predator. Yet the MAGA morons voted for him. Why would they turn on him now?

The MAGA morons are morons. Their outrage won’t survive the weekend. And then they’ll get worked up against whatever their cult leader tells them to get worked up against.

MAGA people have zero principles, otherwise they wouldn’t be MAGA.

The danger with this is, Trump may well pull some truly inhumane and unconstitutional stunt to deflect attention away from his friendship with the dead pedo…

Wait until you get older and one day you’ll realize the kids are looking at you funny when you talk. Then you’ll realize you naturally talk “oldtimey” and your youth is gone.

Enjoy not being an old fart while you can and don’t wish to become one ahead of time. Trust me on that one, it’s not groovy.

Youtube and Facebook crack down on unoriginal and repetitive content eh?

So I’m guessing they won’t be jamming ads down our throats anymore. Hurray for that!

it is still running android underneath

Oh really? I wasn’t aware. That’s a bit of a letdown: I wanted to ditch Android altogether.

Then again, I suppose if the camera works, it must have something to do with running atop a working Android system.

I’ll look into all this. Thanks for the heads up!

Thierry Ardisson était trash avant que le trash ne devienne la norme.

Un vrai pionnier des médias modernes.

Pet à son âme.

uBlock Origin in expert mode, Librewolf’s Resist Fingerprinting and Libredirect ensure that Google knows as little about me as possible - be it on DDG or anywhere else.

Fuck Google - if this clarification was needed.

Oh and yeah, fuck Google. Because it bears repeating.

At the end of the day, it’s the Heritage Foundation. They’re the ones pulling the strings of all those retarded MAGA puppets.

I’m not so sure, see. And the reason is: if people who are traditionally willing to accept low wages don’t apply for jobs at Amazon fulfillment centers for fear of being kidnapped by the GestapoICE, then Bezos will have to start attracting people who aren’t quite content with minimum wage.

Not to mention, if Bezos’ slave wage shops start being known as ICE hunting grounds, even the latter might want to give working there a pass altogether.

On the plus side - if there ever was a plus side to anything Trump does - this might drive up wages for the remaining employees, and/or to attract fresh new recruits to fill up the missing roles.

the worst parts was when he had an itch,

Yeah. I don’t struggle with the pain so much: I have it, but it’s mostly like electric shocks, and somehow it feels like a TENS machine. So as long as it’s not too intense or too long, I’m okay.

But I really struggle with itching.

I just lumped itching with phantom pain because it’s easier to explain to people who don’t know.

have you petitioned your government to sanction the US?

I’ve done better than that: my business has stopped selling to Americans. It’s a big financial hit and our US customers are pissed, but when Americans don’t buy from us, they don’t send tariff money into the Nazi coffers.

Wow nice. Thanks!

This pairs perfectly with the Real Time Fascism tracker.

Amputation pain is right up there, followed closely in the long term by phantom pain.
Then nausea.
Then tinnitus.

A large part of why they’re the worst for me is that you can’t do anything about them.

not every American is part of the problem,

While I understand that a lot of individual Americans are indeed the unfortunate victims of Trump, my point is that, as a nation, it’s too easy to distance yourself from the outcome of the election. You may be a hard-core Democrat, a real traditional Republican - or indeed anything other than a MAGA Nazi, but if you’re American, you own Trump. It’s your mistake. It’s too easy to profess democracy and free elections, and then complain that you didn’t want that. You did want that. And you got it.

What I’m saying is, while I feel for you as an individual human being who seem nice and reasonable, I lump you with the problem and I fully blame you for it as an American.

the ethical implications of your own actions?

You elected Trump and I should consider the ethical implications of my actions? That’s rich!

Get rid of your Nazi problem and then we’ll talk. As long as Trump or any of his Nazi underbosses are in power, I have zero respect for Americans.

Expect TACO to chicken out soon on this one.

I wish the immature numbskulls who vote for fascist convicted felons weren’t allowed to vote in the first place, because they’re clearly not mentally competent to do so. But of course, this is not how democracy works: democracy implies that everybody has an equal say in how their country is run, however dumb they are.

All the same, ask trans people, not-quite-white-enough Salvadorian concentration camp deportees, dying children in Africa because USAID let them down and federal workers who are out of a job what they think of the American democracy…

And quite frankly, I don’t give a shit what good upstanding citizens like you think they should do next: it’s too late. The US is too far down the path. I’m personally of the opinion that there won’t be elections in 2026: Trump and his henchmen will deploy their SS goons - aka ICE - in blue states for one pretext or other and cancel the election results there.

The right way to deal with this was not electing a fucking fascist into office. But the American people - not you Mr. nice guy, but you as a nation - decided to be utter morons instead

And now you feel all cross because I call you out on it? Well how cute. Cry me a fucking river.

Considering the trash Americans vote for when they vote and the misery that ensues, the world would be a better place if they didn’t.

Feel offended all you want, ask any foreigner and that’s what they’ll tell you. The rest the world is fed up to the back teeth with the US.
