You know it's bad when FIDJT won't take your phone call money.

" Oceania FIDJT had always been at war a fan with Eastasia of EVs."

x I might’ve bought a Tesla, but I watched so many rallies where Trump said they sucked and said EVs could only go 100 miles before they had to be recharged, which takes all day. He also said they can only go 30 MPH. He seemed pretty sure and Trump is right about everything. — Ron Filipkowski (@ronfilipkowski.bsky.social) March 10, 2025 at 7:01 PM

The word of the day is "Retcon"

noun (in a film, television series, or other fictional work) a piece of new information that imposes a different interpretation on previously described events, typically used to facilitate a dramatic plot shift or account for an inconsistency . "we're given a retcon for Wilf's absence from Donna's wedding in ‘The Runaway Bride’: he had Spanish Flu" verb revise (an aspect of a fictional work) retrospectively , typically by introducing a piece of new information that imposes a different interpretation on previously described events. "I think fans get more upset when characters act blatantly out of established type, or when things get retconned

As in:

x This, fr @stevevladeck.bsky.social, on Khalil, is typically helpful. But I really think people have to sustain at least the possibility that they simply had no fucking clue what Khalil's status was, and now they're frantically trying to retcon a legal excuse. www.stevevladeck.com/p/131-five-q...

Or this:

x Also thinking about revising the "It's not the crime, it's the cover-up" to "it's not the shameless executive power grab in plain sight, it's the attempt to retcon it." — emptywheel (@emptywheel.bsky.social) March 10, 2025 at 11:43 PM

Those Resistance Rising flowers are working! Rage Against the Obscene: The Totally Organic Movement Confronting Trump. www.democracydocket.com/…

✂️ The quiet and depressive resignation of January has exploded into vast organic anger as spring nears and the daffodils poke through the chilly soil. And it’s very different indeed than the Resistance movement of 2017. Trump’s first election ignited a large-scale reaction that put vast crowds into the streets, and kicked off what became the well-organized (and too often mocked) “Resistance” movement that stymied the clueless administration and built toward the “blue wave” midterms in 2018 and Trump’s convincing defeat two years later. One of my favorite accounts of that success was American Resistance: From the Women’s March to the Blue Wave by sociologist Dana Fisher, who exulted: “The election of Donald Trump has been a shot in the arm of democracy in the United States. People are no longer bowling alone; they are marching, yelling and working together.” Well, this winter they were bowling alone again. The first Resistance was one of the most successful in modern American history, but it withered away with Joe Biden in office and a global pandemic threatening the world. Now, in the early spring of the first year of Trump’s second term, the challenges are much greater. Trump narrowly won the popular vote, and scored a decisive Electoral College win. The Trump team came to office with a detailed plan for destroying what they view as the coercive administrative state (and we see as liberal democracy and civil society). There are basically no more traditional Republicans in positions of power in Congress, so even a slim majority holds. The conservatives dominate the Supreme Court. Elon Musk is running amok through government hallways. And the culturally caustic aspects of the MAGA movement seem ascendant. Yet, I’m seeing definite signs in the garden of democracy.

Thank Dog(e) these as shats are incompetent.

x This is a BFD on its own right, but there's been a great deal of evidence that DOGE has been assuming it could evade FOIA and so sloppy about following obligations that FOIA may now give cause to enforce.

OMG! Who knew FIDJT was a soothsayer??

Or that Rand Paul was the sane one?

I hope to Dog Manu Raju got this on tape. Even so, stick a pin in this one and roll it out Every. Fucking. Time a rethug mentions "deficits" ever again.

x It has been that way for the Republican Party since Eisenhower left office in 1961. Nothing has changed this year from the previous 64.
