Its secret is to deal with the people not as individuals but as crowds. The message to the crowd is a series of simple, basic, memorable words — nation, people, blood, family, comrade, friend, home, soil, bread, work, strength, hope, life, fight, victory, birth, death, honor, beauty. The Party is set up as having a monopoly on giving the people these virtues and good things. To a people whose immediate past has been hard, muddled and apparently irremediable, simple emotional words have an immense, reverberating authority. But most of all the little man who is lost and friendless in a complex, lonely modern society is treated as important, if only in the mass.

Third country deportations with no due process are wrong, period, and we will keep fighting these illegal actions in court.”

True, but also... How much are these flights to South Sudan by way of Djibouti costing taxpayers?

That sounds way more expensive than just keeping these specific convicted felons locked up

And they just turn them loose once they get to south Sudan? Sure, it's far off but it isn't exactly the moon. They can go pretty much anywhere they want

They're essentially just releasing covicted felons on the world

 

It has made me think of all the times I didn't do something because I thought the risk to my life was too great. Now it just feels like a missed opportunity to have lived more even if it had killed me.

I know I have done as much with my life as I reasonably could have. It just feels like I simultaneously could have done more but at the same time it ultimately doesn't matter.

It's a weird contradictory feeling

Look up the word corrupt in the dictionary and it's just a picture of Ken Paxton

Extremely stupid and extremely well armed

I'd trust a monkey with a shotgun more than these jackasses

Trump's so senile he doesn't know what decade it is. He probably thinks Sean Patrick Duffy is actually just Patrick Duffy from the 90s sitcom Step by Step

Which still makes the pick just as weird as picking Sean Duffy while knowing full well who he is

Dean Cain is just Kevin Sorbo 2.0

New York Times bestselling Author Michael Lewis is, as one interviewer recently put it, “a kind of guru of our age”.

This is because, in books like Moneyball, The Big Short and Going Infinite, not to mention his own podcast, he has chronicled some of the big social and economic seachanges of our time - from the global financial crisis, to the cryptocurrency market, and how online gambling companies have managed to wage something of a “war against young men”.

Sometimes, he even seems to anticipate the sea changes. Last year, he all but predicted Donald Trump and Elon Musk’s DOGE manifesto, when he decided to investigate what American civil servants actually do. And the catastrophic risks that might come from decimating the federal government.

Today, Michael Lewis, on all of this, and what he thinks comes next for the American government. Plus, whether he thinks our own prime minister is “gutless” for delaying a ban on TV gambling advertising.
