The lack of serious policing has fully destroyed other once-worthwhile sites - they've become positively infested with brain-dead trolls, head cases and vendors hawking their dubious wares - all in the name of "free speech," one imagines. It's up to us to keep Substack from going down that same road - personally, I don't hesitate to block, report and get in the faces of digital parasites like this one...

I don't mind disagreement, it adds to the discourse, but people who spam the comment threads are unacceptable, as are those who personally attack other commenters. It's why I despise most social media, particularly facebook.

But also consider the clear fact that people who do these things are in fact desperately trying to maintain their delusions.

Remember, muscle weighs 3 times as much as fat, and it takes a lot less room. So you have Thor and you have FFOTUS, the Chubster in Chief.

just yesterday I wondered how long it will be before he nationalizes certain businesses. Usually dictators nationalize natural resources like oil, etc. That’s right out of the playbook.

He’ll definitely target renewable/green industries.

I’ll work hard to prevent them from getting the nomination. I live in California. So long as the electoral college exists I can withhold my presidential vote and it won’t impact the outcome.

I don't know what's going on with Newsom, but Whitmer has earned some benefit of the doubt in my view. It remains to be seen. She has acknowledged the optics here. All I saw with Newsom was that he dismissed concerns about him now cozying up with right wing mouthpieces.

WaPo reported that Greg Pearre, a senior executive at the Social Security Administration, was physically dragged from his office this week after a dispute with DOGE staff. Pearre was in charge of an IT team working on the agency’s data systems, and objected to DOGE’s effort to cut off immigrants from being able to access bank accounts or credit cards.

This is actually worse than it sounds. DOGE, at the behest of DHS, placed thousands of immigrants in the Death File database, information that is routinely used by banks, credit cards and others. Once a bank finds out someone is on the list, their accounts are frozen and credit cards are canceled. Can’t work because the SS number is dead. In the Post story, it was described as instant financial paralysis. DHS wants to do this to thousands more in hopes they’ll self-deport. Oh, and it’s probably illegal. Big surprise there.

Well, he promised he'd deport 15 million people on day 1, didn't he? Day 1 has long since past but I guess he fears some few percent of his loyalists may remember all the promises. He's 'killing' people by messing with their SSA numbers -- and of course without due process, but DOGE must have a special dispensation from the 5th and 14th amendments because he avoids due process like it was the plague, or RFKJr-style, a vaccine against a plague.
