It's interesting that this regime is already behaving as if the dictatorship it clearly aspires to has already been established. They obviously feel quite confident about their cause.
Well, they can afford to be, because it doesn't look as if they have anything to fear in the way of consequences. Every day, I read alarming reports about abuse of power, open corruption, systematic racism, absurd policies that run counter to the interests of US citizens, blatant disregard for the law, and the involvement of high-ranking government officials in prostitution and pedophilia. But I never read anything that would suggest that those responsible are being held accountable.
I therefore assume that the establishment of a dictatorship à la Russia is already so far advanced that it won't be prevented - and by that I mean a transformation of the plutocracy that has long been the norm in the US into an unvarnished autocracy, including all the associated methods of repression, in other words, the transformation of the US into a full-blown dictatorship.
"it creates the appearance that the vice-president of the United States is getting special treatment that’s not available to the average person who wants to utilise that body of water for recreational purposes."
"Creates the appearance"? I hope he's careful he doesn't burn himself with that hot take. We're out here drowning and these mfs keep clutching their pearls.
He is a fairly intelligent, highly manipulative sociopath.
He did this because he is reasonably confident there will be no negative consequences for him doing this.
And he is likely correct about that.
Trump, on the other hand is an actual dunce, a brutish moron, who can barely even read anything that isn't a page of bullet points and/or constantly praising him / fluffing him up.
Guy who doesn't believe in climate change once again pulling the big "Cover Up The Consequences of Climate Change" lever so he doesn't have to personally look at the results of his public policy.
Annoying the marines is normal ruler bullshit, but annoying the army corps of engineers is a kind of stupid reserved for those who use outhouses during tornado warnings. You dont want them to quit, they keep the Mississippi River in place
Well I mean that river should have naturally moved to the other side of Louisiana like 75 years ago. Now the entire state is sinking since it's not getting its normal fill of sediment. Good ol' Congress deciding that stuff has to go through New Orleans instead of Lafayette because of reasons.
