They've already rolled the barrel back in.

Hardly a surprise there. Much of their main demographic is also very influenced by right wing propaganda.

While I don't think it has anything to do with wokeness and I think Trump a fool and an idiot for thinking it does or thinking he should say anything about it anyway, I do suspect that the logo change was a mistake, based likely on some corporate person thinking that the secret to restoring sagging growth was to modernize the logo rather than to attract more customers with actually useful changes. Not that this changes the likelihood that they changed it back for the wrong reasons as well.

Repeating what Target did: piss off half the country by doing a thing, then piss off the other half by undoing it...and the first half doesn't then forgive them because they're still mad about it happening in the first place. Target can survive --with losses-- but I doubt Cracker Barrel can, especially if the whole redesign thing was aimed at improving already flagging fortunes.

I see members of the National Guard who have been pulled away from their lives performing sanitation and landscaping in Washington DC, and I am reminded that he referred to those who serve in uniform as “suckers” and “losers.”

I am sure the NG taking up gardening was a primary cause for the claimed drop in crime rates.

Reading these posts I'm reminded of Roy Batty's line from Blade Runner: "Quite an experience to live in fear, isn't it? That's what it is to be a slave."
These bozos are really fearful aren't they?

The other thing they do is, as they tighten their grip on the legislature, the less they use it to enact their agendas. The more control they have, the more lawless and illegal they become.Chris O notes that no previous president has ever created criminal offences by executive order, but it's something fascist dictators like to do, and it usually starts with punishing dissent.

@ChrisO_wiki: 1/ No previous US president has ever created criminal offences by executive order, as that's exclusively reserved to Congress. However, it *is* literally a hallmark of fascism, and it always starts wit...…threadreaderapp.com

Hey, TACO! 1) Tulsi Gabbard ain't your friend, 2) She ain't no man and 3) it's the only way she can think of to pass on stolen state secrets to her Ruzzian spymaster bosses.

As I said the most powerful people on the planet are the Nobel peace prize committee, they could get Trump to do pretty much anything.

I'm pretty sure the real reason the people in his circle were afraid to go out in DC, expect to be robbed, etc. is the sentiment in these panels borrowed from the Shortpacked webcomic. (The character was actually complaining about the 2015 FF movie.)

The White House says it has fired the director of the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), Susan Monarez, after she refused to resign on Wednesday.
In a statement, it said she was "not aligned with the president's agenda" and she had been removed from her position at the health agency.

"Secretary Kennedy and HHS have set their sights on weaponizing public health for political gain and putting millions of American lives at risk," Monarez's attorneys, Mark Zaid and Abbe Lowell, said in a statement, adding that their client was targeted because she "refused to rubber-stamp unscientific, reckless directives and fire dedicated health experts."

Reminds me of the group of retired bores that used to spend every lunchtime drinking in the local country pub opining on how UKIP was going to sweep Führage to power and he'd wipe away political correctness and the smoking ban. Hurrah, casual racism and lung cancer for all!
