    This is a new level of disgraceful.

    Well, the East Wing thing was probably more, but this is a different kind of disgraceful.

    Did the website of the executive of the US just get hacked and defaced, or is this ludicrous bullshit actually ‘official’? Normally, it’d be insane to even think about having to ask that question, but we live in insane times.

    Edit: Since it’s still there, I have to assume it’s because it’s meant to be. America, I need you to sit down and explain to me how and why you’re still putting up with this absolutely demented shit. I had - for historical reasons if none other - still a shred of respect left for you as a country. Yeah, that’s fucking gone now.

    Kindly unfuck yourselves.

      Basically it’s been demonstrated writ large that our governing body doesn’t have any actual teeth or intent to hold themselves accountable to the law. There are laws against this shit. It isn’t some milquetoast thing that needs to go through litigation. Putting this type of shit on government websites is explicitly illegal due to the Hatch Act.

      But the imcompetence of our government is the point. They want everyone to give up on the federal government so that corporations have no watchdogs against their bullshit. You already see everyone calling for (but not taking any concrete action towards) revolution, rather than looking for ways to fix up what we have/had.

      On top of that, somehow the majority of Americans have completely forgotten the art of effective non-violent protesting, the sheer amount of work and coordination needed for a successful movement, the work of managing the public face of a resistance movement, and being prepared to have the absolute shit beat out of you for a cause. I can only speculate that it’s due to long term manipulation of media and history curriculum.

      The 60s weren’t so long ago that all of this knowledge should have been so entirely lost.

    This is your reminder again to shoot MAGAts in the head and take your country back. This is embarrassing and your time is running out.

      I have the means to do so, but you must tell me exactly what to do to have any effect. If I’m ending up in a concrete, or more likely, a pine box, I need a real plan from you.
