    the NRA regularly announces that it's in dire financial straits, it's a fundraising tactic they've used for decades

    I wouldn't put much stock in a restructuring that they've executed in a way that guarantees headlines

    The NYAG announced they wanted to dissolve the NRA as a non-profit and confiscate, like, a ton of their assets because of massive corruption documented over years and years, so it's all a play to try and keep the grift going.

    On the one hand, I’m treating everything on twitter at this point with a healthy amount of skepticism, especially a grainy, half blocked page of notes.

    On the other, the fact that this is the guy he’s calling on as an advisor at this point is scary enough without any additional detail.

    Years ago, I thought about buying one. Didn't end up getting one. Saw a better deal and the name was giving me ripoff vibes.

    Wanna go back in time to tell past me that they almost wound up lying their head on fascism.

    luckily the my pillow guy seems to not have the kind of clout he thought he did, and his suggestions that the president of the united states declare martial law and refuse to step down were not heeded

    this is a sentence that is factually correct in the year of our lord 2021

    God those pillows are so awful too.

    My friend has one and it's like sleeping on an old lumpy ass pillow that pokes you in random spots.

    Yet. This picture's from today.

    The only thing that's keeping me pretty calm is I think it's very likely that some of the people he would need to use to make this happen will be like "no, thanks, I'm good."

    it's sort of crazy to me that news corporations need to be told it's not a good idea to give fascists a platform where they can say their piece, but i guess they need to be told that

    on the other hand, maybe they know exactly what they're doing!

    on the other other hand, if they knew what they were doing they probably wouldn't have asked a woman well known for a lot of internet and real life work against fascism if she has any contacts among fascists

    Okay but have we ever considered asking ISIS for their point of view after a terrorist attack

    It would be such balanced coverage!!!

    It's wild to me that the QAnon Shaman gets bail denied but the Air Force dude gets house arrest. Don't get me wrong though, the Shaman was absolutely there to kill people.

    Yeah that many troops deployed is very much a show of force after a colossal shitshow.

    Yeah the current troop count in the capitol is entirely a big ol sign saying, "this is what you actually fucked with", a big reminder that a few cops on a very temporary barrier is not actually what the government brings to a party, and that trying to overthrow the u.s. government is probably gonna take more than an afternoon.

    It would be absolutely wild to see anyone actually try anything next week.

    I happened to get assigned to the 187th INF at Campbell, out of processing on my return from Korea, the same day that the 101st received a squadron of AH-64 attack birds. I was driving up to my new unit when the new helicopters flew over in formation and it was very much a "ok this is a much bigger more serious place than over in Korea, do not fuck around." moment.

    Point being shows of force work if the context is right

    I know, I know, making fun of his dietary needs isn't kosher...

    Except kosher or halal would be a dietary need and "organic" isn't.

    I believe it's been said on this very same forum many times...

    "The cruelty is the point."

    At least when it comes to minorities or religions they don't like.
