I remember when Bill Clinton—a FORMER president—met Obama’s sitting AG on an airplane and it was a massive scandal. Now, here’s Trump’s new AG just doing Trump political rallies like it’s NBD.

What kills me is that the mainstream media, then and now, this very day, could turn the country against Trump, easily. Minus 15-20% that will never leave him.
If only they could come together with the kind of energy they had for curb-stomping Biden. They could turn this around.
But they NEVER will

I love the fact that they're blaming Jimmy Carter and just hoping we all forget that Reagan illegally interfered with Carter getting the hostages released and was never prosecuted for it because he won.

I have no doubt this is what Elon believes and he messages it constantly. But my own sense here is that this is closer to Big Lie mechanics - stating a contrary set of maximal factual statements to give supporters talking points, a way of framing an issue.
When Elon Musk says "zero" children died in Africa from his DOGE cuts, he really means zero children died who are *worthy of any concern.* It's vile coded signaling to his global fascist audience.
From me and @polphilpod.bsky.social, a deep dive into Musk's fascism:

We really don’t reckon enough with how the flattening of truth and misinformation on social media + the right-wing takeover of all prominent “neutral” media = an environment where consequences for the far right don’t really exist anymore. Cowardice, confusion, complicity, & complacency rule the day.
The ongoing Musk nazi tweets just have me wondering if corporate boards are even a thing anymore

Musk is Timothy McVeigh with a trillion dollars.
Would assume everyone knows it by now, but just in case
"First the traitors, then the invaders" is an explicit reference to The Turner Diaries, where a white supremacist revolution overruns "The System" and kills all their enemy during the evocatively named "Day of the Rope".

Haven't seen the Odyssey yet, but if the final scene isn't Odysseus putting a feather quill back in its ink well, sighing with satisfaction as he gazes on his completed book, and flipping to the title page—"My Big Trip, by Raymond Odysseus"—I will scream. I am functionally illiterate.

The subject of Zach Cregger and Brian Duffield's upcoming movie has stalked the internet horror community since 2018. For horror artist @slimyswampghost.bsky.social, the transition from urban legend to Hollywood happened very quickly:
