Time to get spooky
While talking about the republican party, I do wonder what would happen if Trump’s age catches up to him before the election and he dies of a heart attack or the like.

How lucky the Democrats are to have an opponent who is always worse than them. Why, without the Republicans, they might actually have to put in effort to be electable.

For reference, it was uncovered a couple days ago that Alito flew the American flag in his yard upside down right after Jan 6 and ahead of Biden’s inauguration. Alito tried to head off accusations by throwing his wife under the bus. Not that he flew the flag in honor of the Capitol Police who died during Jan 6, no according to him it was because his wife was upset some neighbors didn’t like Trump. Which, even if true, really doesn’t dispel the notion that Alito joined his fellow MAGAts do declare “national distress” that Dear Leader was losing office.
And the actions of Uncle Clarence Thomas, traitor, has been widely publicized for going on over a year now.
Biden is not a good candidate but at least if he wins reelection there will still be a democracy after. Every day the GQP screams at us that if Trump wins, we won’t.

Yeah, I know. As Zincy pointed out, I didn’t remember quite right, but close enough (more or less).

was apparently a Russian operative
This conclusion is not backed by published facts. He was associated with a group that in turn was associated with Russia. From Wikipedia:
In January 2016, Cintula appeared in an event organised by a small far-right pro-Russian paramilitary group called Slovenskí Branci (Slovak Recruits). The group had links with the Russian motorcycle club Night Wolves, and according to Vsquare, the group received training from former Russian Spetsnaz members. At the time, Cintula wrote posts praising Slovenski Branci and its anti-immigration stance. He wrote that he was attracted to the group because of its “selfless zeal” and “the ability to act without the order of the state”. The group disbanded in October 2022.
From tweet quoted in the article:
Looks like Slovak PM Robert Fico’s reported assailant, writer Juraj Cintula, was associated with pro-Russian paramilitary group Slovenskí Branci (SB). Their leader was even trained by Russian ex-Spetsnaz soldiers.
What’s weird though is that he later co-founded a “Movement Against Violence”, supported a social liberal presidential candidate, and condemned the Russian invasion of Ukraine. He joined protests against Fico’s “controversial” reforms (media control and sabotaging anti-corruption laws/offices).

Because this is not a mental illness but a neurodivergence (like the autism spectrum): the former is a condition that can be corrected, the latter is an integral part of an individual’s identity (and the progress is recognizing that treating the latter the same way you do the former is complete and utter quackery).

It’s interesting that people suffering from such a serious condition were removed from medical indexes like this in the West. They might not be mentally ill as in people hallucinating and hearing voices but gender dysphoria and its treatment is no joke, often leading to serious medical and social complications.

We try to treat and prevent Body integrity dysphoria for instance but gender dysphoria is no longer considered a medical condition at all and the people suffering from it are allowed to undergo irreversible procedures with alarmingly little oversight and medical evidence it actually makes their lives better.

From what I saw, what set him off was the closure the public TV network and how it was assault against culture, more than international politics stuff.

I can’t seem to find the original link, but there’s an article in English on the Bulgarian news portal Fakti, so I definitely didn’t dream it.

Then again, I have no idea of its accuracy (it could be anti-Russian counter-intel, for all I know), since the Slovakian authorities rather describe the suspect as a “lone wolf” who allegedly disagreed with Robert Fico’s policies.

Ironic for a country that decriminalized homosexuality 100 years ago to the year, at a time when it was still considered a mental illness itself at best and a criminal offence at worst.

Speaking of older news, the guy behind the attempted murder of the Slovakian Prime Minister was apparently a Russian operative.
Good job, Putin: you might’ve just managed to drive yet another former Warsaw Pact ally further away from your sphere of influence with that stunt.

This is a few days old, but I took a look back and didn’t find it in this thread yet so I’ll share.
Former Trump White House aide Johnny McEntee posted a video to Tiktok in which he claims that for his own amusement, he keeps a stash of “Hollywood money” to give to homeless people so that they get arrested when they try to spend it. He boasted “I’m actually like helping clean up the community.”
I looked this up, and if I’m reading this correctly, knowingly possessing, using, or making counterfeit currency with the intent to defraud somebody is a felony punishable by up to 20 years in federal prison, plus additional state-level penalties where applicable.

Can’t have a proper terrorists good guys with guns if you don’t properly reward those that do “the right thing” and have them as examples of what is expected to be done, after all.
Unsurprisingly, worshipping the “cult of action for action’s sake”, AKA short circuiting logic and reasoning to justify atrocities is one of the main characteristics of fascism. Being able to go the extra step and actively reward brownshirts is a bonus.

@neutralgrey or is a bitter that works best with sweets. ie: sorbos in coffee = (especially the chocolate and strawberry)
Best part is how when a liquid is hot it drags some of that flavour along with it, so you don’t need sugar sugar in your coffee with these straws! 😋
Also works with real shakes, the small ice particles break off bits of the “wall” so that makes the twizzlers and lime great for handmade shakes.
The subsidies that make plastic straws so cheap should be taken away and shoved into these instead!
Surprising that California didn’t push for something like that during the straw ban.

The issue is that the ban is so broad it also makes illegal for people to wear masks for medical reasons (such as a weakened immune system) and you can’t trust the cops not to abuse that to detain people.

As for Nazis, the article specifically mentions:
A third Wake County Democrat, Sen. Jay Chaudhuri, proposed amending the bill to ban hate groups — he specifically mentioned the Ku Klux Klan and Proud Boys — from being allowed to wear masks in public, which the law currently allows them to petition for. His amendment also would’ve required state law enforcement officials do more to track hate groups. Like the other amendments, Republican lawmakers shot it down with no debate or explanation.

In other Death Cult news, the North Carolina Senate passed, among other detrimental measures, a bill banning anyone from wearing a face mask in public — even for health reasons.The vote obviously followed party lines and all amendments proposed by Democrats to grant exceptions for health concerns were shot down without explanation.
It cuts both ways as now Nazis can’t protest there and wear masks

Huh, the Supreme Court defended the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in a 7 to 2 ruling. Clarence Thomas of all people wrote the majority opinion.That’s refreshing.
He knows he’s on thin ice
