Bill Maher warns the GOP they’re "way past flirting with authoritarianism."
"You must know we are really on the edge of a dictatorship here, and you're the only ones who can stop it."

“Calling people a fascist is dangerous, violent rhetoric.”
Ok.
Here is a compilation of Trump doing precisely that:

Deeply disturbing rhetoric is spreading from influential MAGA figures (including the President of the United States and the owner of this website). They have no idea who the shooter is, and many of these same people mocked Democrats when they were victims of political violence in the past. In moments like this, we should be lowering the temperature and finding our shared humanity — not fueling more hatred and violence.

everyone in politics and journalism who has downplayed the threat Trump poses to our democracy needs to reflect on their foolishness and beg their kids and grandkids for forgiveness

Confused about what happened at the "very unusual" Trump-Putin summit? Listen to what Fox's Bret Baier, Brian Kilmeade, and Jacqui Heinrich said about it:
"It did not seem like things went well. It seemed like Putin came in and steamrolled."

To their credit, the Founding Fathers always knew a king-like tyrant would one day try to rule as personal dictator and use the powers of the presidency to live above the law.
But they never foresaw an entire branch of government abdicating oath in favor of partisan complicity and grift, and they certainly never foresaw algorithmic media producing a citizenry so manipulated by obvious deceit.

Without Putin having made any concessions but on the basis of dumbwit Witkoff's misunderstandings, Trump is now inviting sanctioned international criminal Putin to meet him on US ground for the first time since 2003.
What an embarrassment for the US! /5

Those of you who don't know what authoritarianism looks like...this is it. All the gaslighting about previous presidents "what about...!!! Is bullshit. I've been talking about the slide towards NOW for 30+ years. Those earlier concerns were nothing. Now we are HERE.

In a desperate attempt to convince Americans to ignore the latest bad jobs report, Trump grabs a chart, shows it to the cameras, no idea what it says, no attempt to explain: “But this chart is pretty amazing. Right here. All new numbers”

NPR obtained bodycam footage showing Jared Wise beating police officers on Jan. 6 and yelling “kill ’em” as rioters attacked.
He now works as a senior adviser in Trump’s DOJ.
“Back the blue,” right?

Widespread Panic first covered Black Sabbath on Halloween 1987 at the Uptown Lounge in Athens, playing Paranoid and Black Sabbath to close their second set.
They played another Sabbath classic, Sweet Leaf, every Halloween from 1989 through 1995, with the exception of '91 when they opened for Blues Traveler in NYC. In fact, the boys played Sweet Leaf three nights in a row in 1993 - 10/31, 11/1, 11/2.
Here's a clip of Sweet Leaf from Halloween 1992 at the Georgia Theatre. Some mind blowing visuals were projected above the stage.

Trump often insults his own supporters’ intelligence, but I can’t remember a time when he’s so blatantly and clumsily treated them like such complete idiots

BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Trump declares that he is unable to be a President to ALL Americans, as he hates Democrats. "They hate Trump, but I hate them too. I really do, I hate them. I can’t stand them."
What a small, hateful man.

When the American empire finally collapses, historians won’t be stunned by the greed of the elite; They’ll be stunned by the loyalty of the poor.
The working class didn’t just vote against their own interests. They worshipped the billionaires robbing them.
They slashed their own benefits, gutted their own healthcare, and cheered while the rich wrote off private jets as tax deductions.
Not because it helped them.
But because they were told it would hurt someone else.
And that, right there, is how you rig a democracy without ever breaking a single law.
