Remember Hilary's emails? Cause I don't think anyone will after this.
Oh, they are absolutely will remember Hilary's emails, because:

1) The Hilary emails form a stock "but both sides!" excuse for any security problem by the Republicans. Even if the Trump administration were directly texting US military secrets to Xi Jinping and Vladimir Putin, the Republicans would defend them doing so with reference to Hilary's emails.

2) The sort of people who are still that hugely bothered by Clinton's emails won't even be reading the news of Hesgeth's indiscretions. The media they access won't tell them, or if they do, the media will bury the problem with a mass "but it's okay really" explanations. Thus those people will continue to believe that the Hilary emails were a particular scandal.

"I'm not gonna stand here, present some egghead scientific argument based on fact. I'm just a regular dude; I like to drink beer, y'know? I love my family; 'rock, flag, and eagle,' right, Charlie? You see, Charlie? These liberals are trying to assassinate my character. I can't change their mind; I won't change my mind, because I don't have to! Because I'm an American. I won't change my mind on anything, regardless of the facts that are set out before me. I'm dug in, and I'll never change."

I know The Simpsons is famous for predicting shit well before it comes to fruition, but hats off to IASIP in this case. This was written as satire in 2012, satirizing a ridiculously moronic, ignorant, and stubborn mindset, but sadly, this might as well be the very real and unironic rantings of any MAGA cultist today, 13 years later.

"The world will change to suit me, because I'm armed and ignorant" is a long-standing American mindset.

"It's shameful that they're using their show to attack half of America, when they should be using it to attack the other half of America."

Well, being a snake oil salesmen in politics is about as old as politics (or snake oil), so it's not too hard to predict. Community did a similar thing in its poiltics episode, and that was in like 2011.



What happened with Trump getting elected (again) is as old as dirt, but we all thought people were reasonable enough now to not let it happen again. The early 00's sentiment that bigotry, and racism, and ant-semitism was pretty much over and relegated to only the far fringes of society really did a number on people. And now we're stuck with all the assholes who greedily took advantage of that in the highest positions of power.

The Lieutenant Governor of Indiana, officially the stupidest place on Earth, states that DEI is worse than the "Three-Fifths Compromise" which he argues "is not a pro-discrimination compromise".


He went on to argue that the Compromise was "designed to make sure that justice was equal for all people and equality really meant equality for all." Because, y'know, deciding that people of a particular skin color were only worth three-fifths as much as people of a different skin color is totally about equality.

Since the memo was issued, CBS News reports the Trump administration has signed 456 agreements with local police departments, letting them act as immigration officers — turning traffic stops and routine patrols into immigration raids.


Ryan Shapiro, executive director of Property of the People, put it bluntly: “The documents reveal the Trump administration has authorized every single law enforcement officer in the country, including traffic cops, to engage in immigrant roundups explicitly outside due process.”
