An analogy: The White House is occupied by a loser rock band that breaks the hotel's drinking glasses, throws the refrigerator out the window, sh*ts on the bed, and ignores the bill for the damages. #USPol

Never has #Lacan's mirror phase theory been so on point. #Trump is stuck in that 6 to 18 month old time frame, "where an infant recognizes their reflection as a unified "self". This moment is a "misrecognition" b/c the infant identifies w/a stable, external image that contrasts w/their fragmented internal experience of their own body. This process is the foundation of the ego, which forms through this identification with an "Ideal I" or "other". That & #dementia.

For the language experts out there: When did "antifa" start meaning "Epstein"? #Antifascism #TrumpEpsteinShutdown

Since #antifa is not a thing (as someone said, it's an idea), and because the #fascists are trying to create it as one (like #Vance inventing stories about people eating dogs), I am going to use #antfascists and refuse the moniker that is being weaponized. If someone is against antifa, the consequences of that position are semantically less obvious, less visible. If someone is against antifascists, they are fascist. Full stop. #USPol

"One of the individuals we arrested recently in portland was the girlfriend of one of the founders of Antifa and we are hoping that as we go after her, interview her, and prosecute her, we will get more and more information about the network and how we can route them out and eliminate them from the existence of American society." -- animal killer, Kristi #Noem Now do #GhislaineMaxwell. #Epstein #TrumpEpsteinShutdown #USPol

How about we call it the #TrumpEpsteinShutdown? “The House refuses to go back in session. Why are we in recess? Because the day we go back into session, I have 218 votes to force a vote on releasing the Epstein files. Mike Johnson doesn't want that to be the news." – Republican Thomas Massie #USPol #Epstein
