    It’s somewhat trite to say “Trump has dementia”, that’s just been clearly evident for a while now. But even given that I feel like he’s gotten so so much worse recently. Like, throwing the country into an unwinnable illegal war, threatening genocide over Easter, now he’s posting snuff films? I feel like even people who correctly interpret that the dude’s got some serious cognitive impairment going on still end up writing him a pass because “Trump’s just crazy like that”. But just given his behavior over the past few weeks It feels like his mental decline is accelerating quite a bit.

      He’s pure evil. And anyone who likes him does so because they’re evil too. Fuck anyone who makes excuses for this psychopath.

        Hard agree, and I’m not making excuses. Just trying to figure out what flavor of evil to expect. Original flavor corruption, or extra crispy dissociation.

    So why has Trump’s ICE been busy deporting and killing innocents while ignoring this guy? Is it because this is in a red state and not in Minneapolis?

    What’s amazing is that biden, obama, and hillary clinton are completely irrelevant yet Trump remains obsessed with them.

      It’s the Republican thinking, they have to remember and be victim of every slight to say their grievances are legitimate. Someone else has to be responsible for the problems in their lives and not the other way around.

    Let’s not gloss over this part:

    …that the Department of Homeland Security had also posted a few hours earlier.

    It’s all fucked up. I can only hope Easmin’s family sues and get a massive payout for the extra trauma inflicted by having this tragedy exploited for political purposes by both DHS and Trump. Truly ghoulish.

      It sucks that tax payers will end up paying that bill.

      The individuals who committed the act the and law makers who enabled it should have to pay…judges too for not stopping it

        Eh, at least this money would go to innocent people and put back into their community’s economy. Not like the money spent on Palantir and the White House nuclear winter ballroom.

      I figured this was to distract from the war he started and lost that was to distract from the Trump Epstein files.

      He brought up Epstein to distract from the a pointless war only to now attempt to distract Epstein again. Trump is just tumbling down an endless flight of stairs at this point.

    As I’ve said all along, if you import the Third World, you become the Third World

    You know I think this is the closest my aggressively pragmatic self comes to feeling the juxtaposition of sacred and profane. There are two metrics that we use to describe our species: intelligence and prosocial behavior, and this flapping husk shits on both.

      I think along similar lines, but I’ve taken a third descriptor onboard: disaster-prone. A mirthless history professor once told me that “history is a litany of unintended consequences”. Everything about the world and our history makes so much more sense if you mentally allow for the fact that we as a species tend to make rather absurd mistakes at scale, and now at the height of our global culture, our powers at their greatest, our need for common sense, tolerance, and cooperation at their most urgent in history due to impending climate collapse, geopolitical tension, and wealth inequality, the most powerful nation in history elected, twice, the most foolish, wicked man alive.

      A single person is still intelligent and prosocial. I sincerely agree. But humanity i think has a critical mass at which point all of that is hidden behind layers of systematically disastrous behaviour.
