Yeah, that guy blasted Abe with a home made cyberpunk shotgun. There was a certain amount of "oh god! Shinzo Abe! he was a statesman!" but the Japanese public's response seemed to be "huh, RIP. You know, the shooter has a point, what IS up with the Moonies?"

Abe was a very divisive political figure in Japan. Above and beyond his association with the Moonies, he had done awesome things like try to glorify Japanese war crimes in world war 2 (because his father committed a lot of them).

His policies also sucked, he was more anti-immigrant than most modern republicans or Tony "Boatstopper" Abbott was in Australia. There was the entire meme of Abe threatening Japanese millennials with a gun and telling them to go have children because that was the only way Japan was ever going to get a functional workforce, all while other policies made it impossible for those millennials to get jobs, have life satisfaction, and be able to figure out how to have a kid in the hosed-up world Abe and his ilk had created.

There was a nontrivial amount of LOL on Japanese websites the very day Abe got blown away, so when the killer started telling his story, there were people who were already inclined to listen rather than just reflexively burn him at the stake.

How long until Johnson is ousted?

quote:

Congressional leaders reached a $1.66 trillion agreement Sunday to finance the federal government in 2024, preserving funding for key domestic and social safety net programs in the face of GOP demands to cut the government’s budget.

The agreement, announced jointly by Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer (D-N.Y.) and House Speaker Mike Johnson (R-La.), will almost surely face vehement opposition from far-right House Republicans, who had hoped to force steep budget cuts.

everything about trump has to have an asterisks after it. like "trump is a germaphobe*" or "trump is afraid of being poisoned*"
because trump is all these things as far as he understands them, he's a germaphobe* with no understanding of germ theory. to him germs come from poor people and literal dirt. if he can't see it it's not dirty.

i'm 100% convinced that trump kept calling the virus "invisible" because that's literally the word they had to use to get him to understand how something can have germs on it despite the thing not being visibly dirty. he was all "i don't have to wash my hands because there's nothing on them" someone had to sit down and literally say "the virus is invisible" and he went "oh, i know that word" and that's how he understands the issue. i still don't think he "believes" it, there's no way he'd ever take any other person's over his own, and there's no way new information made any changes to how he thinks or behaves. but it's the closest they could get.

it's not a vital distinction to make in the wild, it's easy enough to say he's a "germaphobe" but i think it's important to keep in mind just how proudly and profoundly ignorant and broken trump is. at 9 years old he decided he knew best and has been stuck there ever since. he hasn't grown, he hasn't learned. you wouldn't make a 9 year old president. the fact that trump was a "successful" person, to the degree that he is is an indictment on america. a stain we should work to remove and never ever have it repeat again.

just how trump is a "business bigot". he's a racist bigot misandanyst whatever-ist...unless it can raise his worth. he'd 100% "date" a model of color if it helps raise his status and therefore networth. being an opportunistic piece of poo poo does not preclude you from that. however, again, it's easier to just say "trump is a racist"* because, at the end of the day, treump is nothing but a collection of broken personality traits that all just happen to create a fascist racist bigoted whatever-ist. he has no real values or morals. he's just never had to develop any of that

Yeah, and it keeps the Inflation Reduction Act in place as well it looks like. That's a pretty big deal because it's doling out a lot more money than Manchin intended, and it's spurring ton of private investment in grid modernization, efficiency, renewables, nuclear power, and related manufacturing. The American Rescue Plan funds are already mostly committed or spent, so the only way the GOP can claw that back is to literally dig up all the fiber networks and sewer systems that went into the ground over the last couple years.
