The goddamn Trump Administration (Part 1)

Yep, the same tactics Trump uses to shame others would be a point of pride for him because he doesn’t believe crime is wrong. The only thing wrong in his eyes is being a big enough “loser” that anyone else can ever force consequences on you (whether you committed a crime or not).

“trump is bringing the country back” ads occ’ly run on my roku when I visit youtoob. Whatcha wanna bet it’s using gov’t $$$ to do so?

I hit the back button ASAP when it appears, so dunno what goes on in the ad…besides those words in letters almost the size of my hand, stuperimposed over a pic of merkin von b tryinta look noble - and miserably failing as always.

An enterprising TV journalist would bring a step ladder to stand on, so the posters aren’t in their shot. Instead, I fear they will do exactly what the stunt intended

That’s almost an insult to the Visitors. /s :stuck_out_tongue_winking_eye:

(And yeah, I’ve been thinking about that show lately. Might be time for a rewatch.)

This showed up on my YouTube feed a couple of weeks ago, haven’t had a chance to watch it yet

This one showed up in my feed recently, even though it’s from 3 years ago. As such, it has a nod towards what was then the recent past, and is even more relevant than before.

I remember being pretty excited about this show back in the day. Learning that it is intentionally anti-fascist was a nice bonus.

I was a kid when it was airing, so a lot of the anti-fascist messaging went over my sci-fi-loving head at the time. They were pretty explicitly there, at least as far as I can recall. It’s really odd sometimes, looking back at how some stories can stay with you without realizing it, and even gain different relevance in hindsight. You never know which seeds get planted and grow with time…

Stephen Miller on Gov. J.B. Pritzker calling for mass protests:

“His comments…could be construed as inciting violence…This war that Democrat governors and mayors are waging against federal law enforcement. I mean, this is nullificationist behavior. This is secessionist behavior.”
