  • I mean, only when the association pops up in my ADHD-addled mind, but yes, I DO sometimes indulge the impulse even when the connection wouldn’t be immediately obvious to anyone else, because why not? 😁

    And I’m sure you’re a swell guy/gal/other as well 🫶😁

    PS: I broke the quote into more easily digestible paragraphs so you don’t get a daunting wall of text the moment you expand the spoiler 😁


  • Was it already the case before MAGA that it was completely normal for the highest law enforcement authorities in the US to blatantly lie and completely disregard the law, even breaking it themselves on a regular basis, even in high-profile cases?

    Yes, but to a MUCH lesser extent. The atrocities of MAGA are the fascistic end result of DECADES of concerted and deliberate radicalization turned up to 11 once they got the green light.

    As a European, I am now so used to the fact that absolutely nothing the White House communicates is even remotely true that it seems like the normal state of affairs in the US.

    Same…

    Is it just particularly extreme with this criminal mafia regime, or was it already common practice before?

    Kinda answered your own question there: it’s basically a more extreme version of what was already common practice in the land of the fee and the home of the slave.
