Perhaps my Jewish guilt is kicking in, but I feel vaguely like a collaborator . . . which has a deep, negative association in most Jewish circles, as we tend to utterly and profoundly hate collaborators.
I’ve always thought that manipulating people, whether through religion or politics, requires a lot of critical thinking from the manipulator, but my goodness, I could be wrong
“A White House staffer erroneously made the post”
Wow. There are so many layers of disturbing things about this, more than I can mention. Among others that official information channels in the U.S. now look more like pure propaganda outlets than a way of bringing information out to the public. And that when shit happens (as it eventually will), the apologies address the process of publishing (a staffer erroneously posted it) rather than apologising for the vile content. To me it looks more and more like testing the waters to find out what the public can swallow and what they have to retract. Expect more and viler shit like this.
Statistically, you would be hard pressed to foment an argument that we weren’t.
We sanction this bullshit by our acquiescence and participation in a 250 years old system.
Granted, there is serious opposition to Scrotus building. The Great American Hope seems to be centered on the 2026 mid term elections. While this may precipitate the Republican agenda grinding to a halt, it also signifies the likelihood of 2 years of political stagnation and national paralyzation.
In closing his “Letter from a Birmingham Jail”, Dr. Martin Luther Kings wrote:
“Let us all hope that the dark clouds of racial prejudice will soon pass away and the deep fog of misunderstanding will be lifted from our fear-drenched communities, and in some not too distant tomorrow the radiant stars of love and brotherhood will shine over our great nation with all their scintillating beauty”.
I would love to know who this jackass is who apparently has been given the power to speak for the president to an audience of millions. Who the hell has such intimate access to the president and is awake in the wee hours churning out vile and insulting language at Trump’s behest and approval? The meme of Trump shitting all over the American people would seem their doing too. It’s so juvenile that I’m picturing some tech bro poached from Elon. It seems extraordinarily dangerous for an anonymous person to have that unfiltered power.
In the end it will turn out that there was no “staffer” in the mix. It is just a lame attempt to deflect from the fact that it was Trump doing his normal 1 am shitposting.
As for the source of the video itself, yes that is the same asshole(s) that put together the vid of Trump shit-bombing protesters. AFAIK it isn’t something done at the behest or funding of the White House, but rather just something already in the MAGAsphere that the White House chose to post.
That makes perfect sense. I sometimes fear I’m terminally naive. I don’t know why I believe anything out of his mouth. You’d think I was past that by now.
Nah that’s just the perennial problem with decent people – we just can’t get our brains around such boundless perfidy. Be glad that you have that problem!
