[parody] Oh, Joni. I'm more of a dried out party husk than you are! Think of all the time I spent, decades of machinations, barking for Constitutional injusticibile f-u, all the days on gold-plated healthcare, 3-day workweeks, long breaks ...only to see it all delivered into the hellhole POTUS rn.

Which statement best describes the self-deception and venality of the modern conservative? a) lies on our lips and The Deceiver's flies in our head b) c) d) / the gravity of the depravity :: 76%

[parody] "Shooting a dude in the back when he's down? I know a war crime when I see it, but that won't stop me from continuing to vote-after-vote-after-vote the depravity of my generation! And let me introduce you to the latest twirly-whirly...and we all say, "the worst is yet to come!"

A Shining *Shitty* on a Hill Every generation must stare down and live down the sins of The Righteous Mind. / essays in the native depravity of the GOP and conservatism

I'll have a look, but honestly I'm not getting a vibe that you understand the full weight that is on your shoulders right now and the strategic imperative of this moment in history. You are taking terms, not setting them, waiting not driving, and taking time that's not in order... *sigh*

Every generation has to stare down 'the depravity of the conservative mind'. # swimming to Cambodia # only our immorality can stop us

re-upping because of Tillis driving into the mud today and losing control of the wheel... / "the party of personal responsibility", deformed and mutilated by the man who hates them the most, Donald John

"Only our immorality can stop us"

Apart from Gavin Newsom's most awesome (but sadly singular?) effort to change-up districting to combat the holy-asshats-of-Texas, have any legislatures moved to create new laws about what can go on? /1

Only Our Immorality Can Stop Us January 28, 2026 - After the Rubio massacre in Caracas left scores dead, Rubio testifies, "We're always going to do what's best for America. We're always going to protect our system." Not saying "always lawfully do". www.youtube.com/watch?v=5KgW...

The Democratic Gov's Association probably has kenetic plans for when/if the FBI starts doing illegal break-ins, bust-ups, and nabs in their jurisdictions, because they gamed it out nine months ago when we all said the odds had tipped to over 50% that they'd try to "push through" (red lines/coup).

Heathens and Hellions Remember when "Big John" said he'd "come down from the bench" to go fight "heathens and hellions"? Well, he's one of Trump's hellions now, isn't he? Creating a state of terror in Minneapolis. Full-on "flies and lies" on immigrant crime - and corrupt too, viz. Trump's pardons.

Absolutely. It would not be the first time BP had to be largely reconstituted (and at enormous cost...). When it comes to immigration, DHS needs to support local LE, not the other way around. That message should become LOUD and CLEAR, imho. Even more true now that DHS leadership is compromised.

Isn't there anyone who can set-up a matching fund-raising / trust fund to move the remaining valuable assets voluntarily to a new platform? Even if it costs $20M a year until the next election, next funding solution, but helps to save the Republic from the fuck-all of the Ellisons, it'd be cheap./1

More. It would stand to reason that DHS's tally would include people they are trying to flush out of prison. Of course, including them in apprehension figures is a slight of hand, because one does NOT need a 3,000 jackboot operation for something that happens all the time (by stipulation).

One of the very much needed counter-demands to the Bondi letter is that officials in the corrupt administration stop fraud-on-the-public misrepresenting by pejoratively calling laws "sanctuary". There is no "sanctuary" from wrongdoing. Those working, paying taxes, etc., waiting for a path to /1

Going on five more days and still no arrests. @keithellison.bsky.social Someone came into your jurisdiction, your community, and did murder. The NY Times has had enough time to print a "full page" investigation sufficient to indictment. Countervailing intimidation, sure, but the time is ripe-ripe.

[parody] Thank you, Megyn, for helping to corrupt the children with Texass-styled 'South Carolina Values'!! Republican Governors say, "Thou shalt not kill", but then we have you say, "don't feel bad about murder". The kids get confused and it's a short trip to deliver their asses to Our Deceiver.

The MAGA Elites are rattled by hand warmers that imply organized resistance. Of course people are organized against getting shot in the face gangland style in broad daylight. Call them the "Make Christianity Great Again" counter-movement to Trump's WH power-witch, Paula. #SaltOfTheEarthChristians

Pamela Jo says they got "dozens" of criminals. So I ran the numbers. Almost $600,000/apprehension (!!!) == not a cognizable law enforcement operation. interpretative notes: the presence of immigration does not change the chance you'll be a victim of crime

Fetterman is not a "voice for reason and commonsense." He's a weak-headed busty who can't get his head unwrapped from empty GOP talking points. If you think this (below) is about "tactics", then f-u and the Laken-Riley Act you rode in on.

nowhere to walk away: The Constitutionally provided solution is to impeach & remove Trump/Vance. No "middle ground". After the J6th senate acquittal, you'd think Trump would have just gone away, grateful. But he didn't. And he won't now. He'll just regroup and try again, directly or indirectly.

Yes. This. 100% this. I'm not even as close as you and I can sniff the horseshit. I'll wager a LOT that by the time the fact-checking is done, it's a candidate for "Politifact Lies of the Year". It reminds me of that story Trump told of construction workers he was talking to crying.

Instead of wandering (and foolish) 2nd amdt discourse, lets talk about the "CO" part of "RICO". A court needs to look at the central deceits and self-deceptions that are creating a fraud on the public at enormous scale and cost.

Obama calling for 'a complete and total shutdown of all ICE immigration action until we figure out what the hell is going on!', in his own style, several paragraphs in. ❤️ Adds, some people won't stop until you stop them - they just want to watch the world burn.

"ya see, Michelle was carrying this scented candle..." / Derry Girls / cover story about "law enforcement" blown

This is how you end up with trolls under the bridge, people.

Second round of murderous lies. It's a tell that they are fighting so hard to avoid accountability, because they know that coming anywhere near a judge or a court and the wheels are going to come off their cover story / cover stories (just like it did with "stop the steal"). /1

*gasp* Can't help but think about how that guy went on to so visibly praise the author of these photos, of this bit of history, as "one of the most badass things I've ever seen in my life." / depravity creep ins

Pretty sure a judge could look at this as 'more and more' evidence that DHS could not possibly, credibly lead an investigation into the murders-in-broad-daylight repeatedly done by their folks. If someone were to put it to them, that is.

"Together with the governors of ten states and Senators from sixteen, I'm calling for a complete and total shutdown [remember that phrase?] until we know what the hell is going on."

And tomorrow Hennepin will file charges? Not saying that lightly. You've gamed it out? Consider this, though. 1. You'll likely only get one shot at this. 2. Fighting fascism, time is always against you. (It's not going to get better or easier to do later). 3. Like Padme, u must move bfr they do.

[parody] I'd just like to thank all my friends in the Republican Governor's Association for making it possible that Americans can live out South Carolina Values this way in their daily lives! It wasn't an accident. MAGA-We Elites worked hard and paid money and more besides for this to pass.

[parody] We could stop this. We could stop it within hours. We wouldn't even have to say 'no' - we could just...no show. Easy. What do we get out of this heart of darkness? Only our immorality can stop us.

[parody] We could stop this. We could stop it within hours. We wouldn't even have to say 'no'. We could resign. We could switch parties temporarily. We could just... abstain, one way or the other. Or...we can wade into this heart of darkness - and take our posterity with us.

It's their cover story for the op. This is easily observable: they pretend they are doing one thing while subversively doing something else. They did it during the first & second impeachment, too, right? "The Perfect Call" was Orwellian, but the rest was easy to spot.

You can just feel The Deceiver sitting there doing nothing like a spider in his room, just like he did on J6th after ramping up the provocation, hoping against hope that the violence would go his way...

This interchange with @perrybaconjr.bsky.social and @filipecampante.bsky.social is crucial reading. Opposition parties have to mobilize the opposition not sit on the sidelines as a minority party in the legislature. This is a civic task, not a legislative one.

ICE has been compromised. As an institution. They know they’ve been found out, with leaked docs that show conspiracy and a refusal to undergo bias investigation bc they probably won’t pass. ==>> they’ve “got nothing to lose” Very volatile. For leadership to continue to deploy now is…reckless.

This sure seems more like the tyranny the Constitution is supposed to protect against than forgiving student loans.

Thank you, Governor. About nine months late and no planning in place, apparently, because of it, but yes, thank you! (There may still be a little bit of time when time is against you.)

*blink* Happening already. Damage will last more than a generation. I suppose they know that, that's partly why they are doing it: some men want to watch the world burn.

Ironically, one person who “stayed behind the front lines” while serving overseas was JD Vance.

Remember to gas-up your dragon, generally, but also when it's super-cold.

Baby-Smooth Face Abandons the Frontlines of Freedom, inviting aggression and alliance fragmentation, etc. This your national security dripping away for a good long time right there. One of the most strategically f'd up things you'll ever read, as if your allies' security is not your own.

Not only has the silent-complicit Republican Governors Association pardon-released more prisoners than all that Tren de A has recruited, but they've terrorized more American citizens, including children, than Tren de A too. #NotALawEnforcementOperation

...steam is running out of the Biden Boom... No one knows when, but the air is going to come out of the bluster

It's remarkable, isn't it, the way they pretend-fight for a "culture of life" (abortion), yet deliver their wages in death, in _all the ways_ they are killing right now. 'Republican Party' needs to go to the scrap heap of history, without remorse or sentimentality about it.
