Trumpite Americans, when will you finally acknowledge that you’re traitorous assholes?

Absolutely not inciting violence, no sir.

FF has spouted all of this shit, but he doesn't love Trump, nosiree.

(Predicting FF) "Trump can't be an asshole, and be right?? ".

No. If he says the sky is blue, you should be checking. Fuck off.

My actual response is this. The FBI has a history of corruption. Everyone should know this by now. It didn't end with J. Edgar Hoover's death. Trump shouldn't paint every one of them with the same brush. A majority of the agents are probably good people just doing their jobs; however, it's obvious to me that there are some higher ups that try to politicize things instead of just doing their jobs. They are not Joe Fridays. We know that they play fast and loose with the rules and probably break the law at times in order to get certain people they are attempting to get. Generally speaking, I think they likely do a lot to protect us from terrorists and the like, but I don't blindly trust them and neither should anyone else. All of that being said, it wouldn't hurt my feelings if we disbanded the FBI and gave that job to the US Marshalls who can pretty much do the same damn thing.

What the FBI really has a history of is cultural conservatism, and using its power to go after liberals and hinder social progress. Which makes the Trumpers' whining all the more laughable.

MAGA was always less revolutionary than it was performative. It’s a movement loosely tied together by vague symbols that were only occasionally related to policies: a passion for walls, hostility to immigrants, a willingness to believe conspiracy theories, a conflation of biblical imprecations with Truth Social rants, and various spasms of culture warfare. As it happens, it also had a genuine kink for executions, which can lead to a certain nostalgia for guillotining one’s opponents.

But MAGA’s only real connective tissue was anger, self-promotion, grift, nihilism, and cultish fluffery.

Take away the cult leader and all that’s left is the scramble for clicks, cash, attention, and spoils. Welcome to 2023.

Leave it to a conservative to sum up so well the state of American "conservatism" today.

A Nazi is running for a city commissioner seat in OK. Dude's so odious that even the local Republicans want nothing to do with him.

More right-wing political violence ...

Someone in New Mexico has been shooting up the homes and offices of various Democrats. From the NYT:

The Albuquerque Police Department provided a timeline of the shootings on Thursday. It said the police had been called that morning to the law office where State Senator Moe Maestas works after gunshots were heard in the area. Three shots were fired at 11:41 a.m., but there was no damage to the building, the police said.

On Tuesday, at least eight shots were fired at the home of State Senator Linda Lopez, the police said.

On Dec. 11, the department said, “more than a dozen gunshot impacts” were found at the house of Debbie O’Malley, a Bernalillo County commissioner who left office at the end of the month because she was limited to two terms.

On Dec. 4, eight rounds were fired at the home of Adriann Barboa, also a Bernalillo County commissioner, the police said.

The police said in a statement late Thursday that they were also examining whether shots that were fired in December at the former campaign office of Raul Torrez, who had just been elected New Mexico’s attorney general, were part of the pattern.​

(Before you ask, of course the NYT found a way to "bothsides" this, but you can read the story if you want to see how.)

A suspect is now in custody.

But Britain’s and America’s democratic woes are not at all the same. The problems in American democracy are worse. That’s because a particularly insidious disease has infected the core of its political system, one that is not present to the same degree in other rich democracies: extreme conspiracism. Other countries, including the U.K., have polarization. America has irrational polarization, in which one political party has fallen under the spell of conspiratorial thinking. Polarization plus this conspiracist tendency risks turning run-of-the-mill democratic dysfunction into a democratic death spiral. The battle for American democracy will be a battle over reality.

Canada is the only former British colony that seems to have retained some sort of sanity (and even then we're starting to slip).

The United States is full of gun-stroking conspiracy theory wackjobs.

Australia is a penal colony full of murderers and rapists.

India is basically one big call centre full of scammers.

I blame the Brits. Especially Prince Harry and Meghan.

So many fat leopards.

Isn’t that a rock band from the 80s?

No. You deff?

He’s also the guy who investigated Wikileaks.

Before that he was the Section Chief for Cyber Counter Intelligence for FBI HQ and the Chief Counter Intelligence section for Asia. For 8 years he was the field supervisor for the Counter Intelligence section in the Washington DC field office.
