#weirder
If you are a #weirdo like me, and enjoy reading #legal documents, particularly when written by judges or lawyers who have a real flair for writing, and if you are #weirder and like following the legal and #constitutional aspects of the USA's descent into #fascism even though you are not #USAnian and do not live in the USA, then the ruling written by Justice William G. Young in the case about the administration violating the free speech rights of noncitizens legally in the #USA is an absolute corker.
The entire thing is good, but at 161 pages, it's a bit of a slog, particularly because it has to document the entire timeline of the case.
Instead, start reading at page 149.

Why? The last dozen pages are explicitly laying out the legal and constitutional problems with Donald #Trump himself. This text is something that should have been published months ago in the New York Times or The Atlantic or some other serious #journalism outlet. That it takes a judge to write it is the ultimate indictment of the USA's mainstream #media.
Elsewhere, he also calls out Congress and the fourth estate for their failures to rein in the aspiring dictator, though he has to tread carefully while doing it.

With #RFKJR., a #weird #campaign just got a lot #weirder
“Weird” is the perfect word to describe Trump and Vance because it needs no definition. It’s a blunt, one-syllable word. Everybody knows what it means even if they can’t quite define it. And it fits Trump and Vance perfectly.

It just hit me! Recall last week we saw trump ranting amidst an array of grocery items displayed on tables, and today it’s #weirder JD Vance babbling surrounded by cartons labeled DiSorb?
Like in a tv show or movie the star drinks a particular brand of beer or soda— the brand pays for that exposure. It’s PRODUCT PLACEMENT! Grifters to the end—trump&co are milking every last cent from a flailing campaign!
Ps— they probably get residuals each time a picture appears, so I not posting any here.
#JohnOliver #Finds #GOP #Candidates Even ‘#Weirder’ Than #Trump and #Vance
The “#LastWeekTonight” host pointed out the strangest #candidates in last week’s #Senate #primaries in #Minnesota, #Virginia, and #Wisconsin.

#GOP #gaslighting gets #weirder: Why #DonaldTrump and #JDVance spread #lies about #race and #gender.
Vance calls a #cis #woman a #man. Trump #denies that #VicePresident #KamalaHarris is #Black. This strangely is how they hope to #win.
Creepily crawly #weirdness all up in there! 👀
I’d be dead if I hadn’t left the Hellsite two years ago and came to the sweet, sweet shores of Mastadon. Definitely would score a 4th heart attack and stronger BP meds. Lord I wish some of the #weirder MAGA could form their own conclusions or have any opinion but “I Love My Trump”, usually written on someone’s boobs or behind. I actually saw Tits For Trump bikinis the first battle. Now THAT is downright #weirdo apparel.
👀 The Daily Show host Jon #Stewart on #Monday highlighted one of the #weirder moments from Sen. Katie #Britt’s (R-Ala.) widely #mocked #rebuttal to President Joe #Biden’s #StateOfTheUnion address that he felt “didn’t get as much attention” as it #should have done.
“Who #smiles when they say the line ‘#steeped in the #blood of #patriots’?” he asked.

#Russia’s #Crusade Against #Mythical #LGBTQ #Organization Gets Even #Weirder.
The mindf*ck that is modern-day #Russia just got a little more trippy with the #Russian #SupremeCourt banning an organization that was totally made-up by the #russian #government

The #right is getting #weirder about #sex
#Cults always #police their followers' #sexlives, but the #rightwing wants to impose their #bizarre #beliefs on #everyone
As anyone who has studied #cults can tell you, they never limit their #escalations to #violence or #hateful #ideologies. There's almost always a weird #sexual #component, as #cultleaders come up with ever stranger #rules and #regulations to #control the #sexualexpression of their #followers
