Behold The Golden Age Of Public Corruption In America
David Kurtz , Staff Writer - Talking Points Memo
Stephan: As the MAGAt Trump dismantlement of democracy and our economy continues, one of the main things that stands out for me is the mind-boggling level of cancerous corruption that is a major aspect of what is being done. The United States is now less of a democracy than Hungary. I am actually not at all certain there will be a 2026 election.

Stephan: Here is some good news. It tells us that there are still honorable men and women serving as judges. Congressional Republican flying monkeys, of course, are trying to impeach them. However, these judges offer hope that some part of the U.S. government that Trump’s coup is trying to destroy still works.

10 Fictional Extinction Events
It’s always unfortunate when a species goes extinct. This tragedy usually happens over a prolonged period, but certain events wipe out a population simultaneously.

For that reason, some storytellers fashion […]

I had some sore muscles after yesterday’s waste paper collection with the scouts. So, I only went for a short trip to my closest backyard mountain. Watching two rock climbers was interesting. That’s not something I see very often.

@bender@twtxt.net @prologic@twtxt.net The outcome was to be expected but it’s still pretty catastrophic. Here’s an overview:
East Germany is dominated by AfD. Bavaria is dominated by CSU (it’s always been that way, but this is still a conservative/right party). Black is CDU, the other conservative/right party.
The guy who’s probably going to be chancellor recently insulted the millions of people who did demonstrations for peace/anti-right. “Idiots”, “they’re nuts”, stuff like that. This was before the election. He already earned the nickname “Mini Trump”.
Both the right and the left got more votes this time, but the left only gained 3.87 percentage points while the right (CDU/CSU + AfD) gained 14.72:
The Green party lost, SPD (“mid-left”) lost massively (worst result in their history). FDP also lost. These three were the previous government.
This isn’t looking good at all, especially when you think about what’s going to happen in the next 4 years. What will CDU (the winner) do? Will they be able to “turn the ship around”? Highly unlikely. They are responsible for the current situation (in large parts). They will continue to do business as usual. They will do anything but help poor/ordinary people. This means that AfD will only get stronger over the next 4 years.
Our only hope would be to ban AfD altogether. So far, nobody but non-profit organizations is willing to do that (for unknown reasons).
I don’t even know if banning the AfD would help (but it’s probably our best/only option). AfD politicians are nothing but spiteful, hateful, angry, similar to Trump/MAGA. If you’ve seen these people talk and still vote for them, then you must be absolutely filled with rage and hatred. Very concerning.
Correct me if I’m wrong, @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org, @arne@uplegger.eu, @johanbove@johanbove.info.
