The time has come for a coalition of the willing to do the job the US government is not capable of. The final warning to Donnie and his cabinet should be to surrender themselves for prosecution or face removal. When he tries a ground invasion, it will be too late for surrender.

You know there's no time, right? That boots on the ground in Iran = troops in the ground? El Prez doesn't care. He only sees them for what he can get from them. Are you allowing him to murder your people? Tharg cannot be defended, and Donnie has no plan beyond putting people there!

I had a whole 4-part post drafted. Have. It's still there. I have to reword it to remove some prohibited wording. For now, can we just agree that the kids gloves are not working with the T-bag in Chief? If he isn't stopped, he will send thousands of your people to their deaths for nothing. Stop him!

I think market manipulation through military action rhymes with treason. N'est-ce pas?

How could he possibly think that "Somebody else told me to do it" makes him look strong?

Who else wants to make sure POSOTUS gets the best birthday ever this year by isolating his from all his worries and surrounding him with attentive caretakers, and around-the-clock surveillance?

Taking off baseboards for a new flooring install, I found a Fiberglas support strut from a kite. How do I know that's what it was? Do I look like the kind of person who wouldn't recognise a Fiberglas kite support strut? (It took me a few minutes.)

Americans, do we seriously need to wait until he actually commits war crimes by overtly attacking civilian infrastructure, or can we say enough is enough and impeach him for even threatening it? Just threatening it is a pretty big hit against your own country. It makes you all complicit.

With PB not committing to following the Congressional subpoena, can Congress consider it to be more urgent than an April 14 thing, and say "Drop what you're doing. You're coming here now."? Seems like that would be an appropriate step to curtail further lawlessness.

I choose to believe that Chuck Norris is on an deep-cover assignment to extract someone from the afterlife. This is not the last we'll see of him. Godspeed, sir!

Sorry, but how are NDAs even a thing in criminal investigations? If you are under oath, is there any situation where an NDA overrides your obligation to provide truthful info (5th amendment being considered a separate issue)?

I think the existence of Markwayne should be blamed on Fetterman. I mean -- we can clearly see the coming storm, and he decided to put the top down.

I feel like we have too much AI infiltration into our daily lives. Nobody needs that shit. That said, I'd really love to see Jesus punching Hegseth in the nuts.

Alright. Who's ready for another invasion? Don't worry. POSOTUS won't put himself in any danger.

Seriously, what the fuck do people think "the left" is?

I just finished lostening to Adrian Tchaikovsky's "Children of Time", and found it fantastic. I'll get back to that series soon. Now I've started John Scalzi's "The Kaiju Preservation Society". One hour in, I have to say that's about the way I got my last 3 jobs.

I don't remember other presidents frequently doing press Q&A in front of running helicopters, or inside a noisy aircraft. Does POSOTUS do this because it's inconvenient to make special trips to the wind tunnel? Or is it specifically so that when he makes a stupid answer, he can say he misheard?

"Wildly spiralling out of control... much more quickly than we planned."

Do we need this? (Please answer for all available values of "this".)

Dude. Maybe stop calling attention to Biden falling asleep. You probably don't need those comparisons. (I know I shouldn't give him pointers, but it's almost like cheating when he leaves the net open.)

One of the easiest measures of a person is how they take responsibility for their own actions. If you make a mistake, you can say so. You can do what's in your power to repair the damage, and you can try to do better going forward. So how can a person without any responsibility be given so much?

For my birthday this year, my kid gave me a crocheted (with felt additions) Strong Bad. He has become a new permanent feature on my desk (often using the cup holder which is never used for cups), and I run all my terrible decisions by him first. I just wanted to show it off.

I have an idea for how to end the war in Iran. Admit wrongdoing, withdraw all military resources, and -- this one is key -- surrender Donnie, Bibi, and anybody else in leadership to face prosecution there.

I'd love to see the look on each of their faces when they realize that their boss would burn them just as casually as he burned her. Hegseth, what will make him turn on you? Do you have a plan to protect yourself? You know he's coming for you next. This war is your fault. It was your idea.

Yes. I'm in. bloody-disgusting.com/movie/393852...

I was going to ask why no reporters stand up to KKKaroline when she slanders news orgs, but then I remembered that the WH press corps was filtered down to mostly sycophants. I guess no further questions.

I'd like to suggest that there are certain actions a country (or individual) can take which are tantamount to declaring war. Like a large-scale attack on a country's military. When taking those actions, the declaration of war is irrelevant. You can be assumed to have declared war.

Asking for a friend: Does renting out your military to foreign powers count as treason? (I didn't do it, but I know a guy.)

You can't just start a holy war and expect it to be done in 4 or 5 weeks. That's probably why there was a precedent of "don't try regime change in Iran".

America: Avenge the deaths of your military service-members. The responsible parties are your current government, and the government of Israel. Once you identify the "justification" for the strikes (hint - there is no justification), hold them accountable and deal with them swiftly and harshly.

For a number of decades, the US had a tactical advantage in that it was separated by oceans from countries that wished to cause damage there. These days, weapons are so easily available and cost-effective that this is no longer an advantage.

American regime: This is likely one of the last warnings you'll get to resign immediately, then surrender yourselves for investigation and likely sentencing. When authoritarian regimes are removed by force, the leadership rarely gets out unscathed (or alive, for that matter). TYFYATTM.

Countries of the world: now (or a few months ago) is the correct time to release any details you gave of investigations into Epstein and friends. Remove his ability to blackmail and the problem may well eat itself.

American congress. Seriously? How about complete this one fucking job. Did you authorize major combat operations?

Is there a truncated version of Trunt's emergency presser which cuts out his whining, and his campaign talking points, and just gives details on how he plans to comply with the Supreme Court decision? Maybe something in a more soothing voice, like Pinhead from Hellraiser?

Oh good. He's decided to release info about fucking UFOs. So many people were interested.

Seriously, America. What the fuck?

I like this video a lot. I like to think that we Canadians prefer trust and cooperation, but we also hold grudges. When we speak up and tell you that you fucked up, that tends to be bankable intel. (Also always fun to see the Canadianisms come through in speech.) youtu.be/wq4GaE58CEQ?...

I can't believe how spot-on they were when they named poison dart frogs. I wonder how long it was before someone decided to test it.

I can't tell if news sites are using old or "enhanced" pictures of the rapist in chief, or if he genuinely fluctuates between melting dry leather sack and water balloon.

I think it would be funny if all journalists who ask questions of the current US administration addressed them as Mr. or Ms. Epstein. Relentlessly.

Just watched the SuperBowl halftime show. (I was busy for a couple of days.) That was awesome. It was no state-sponsored propaganda, but you can't get everything, right?

As a sovereign nation, what capabilities do we have to enforce restriction of access to our airspace? Are we not able to demand redirection to a landing site? Military interception?(Asking for a war criminal) www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Well, PB is right about one thing. This "President" is transparent. The world appears to agree. He's very open and public with his corruption, and his willingness to break whatever law is inconvenient to him.

www.bbc.com/news/article... I'm all for sinking it (and the "friends of trump toll bridge) and pushing the wreckage to the American side. Here. Choke on it you fat fucking baby.

I'd like Alberta Conservatives to explain to me how 6+ hours in a waiting room for a potentially life-threatening emergency is an improvement in health care. Have we just not privatized it enough?

I think the lesson in today's headlines could easily be "Stop worshipping money." Can we please move from late-stage capitalism to post-capitalism?

I think my favourite phrase for the day is "choke on a fencepost". Thanks @hank-ering.bsky.social ! bsky.app/profile/hank...

Every day that he and his scum are not in prison is another day they are allowed to pilfer the riches of your nation, swindle Americans, and make the world less safe for you, for your children, and for life in general. Why are we even having this conversation? You have everything you need.

Susie Wiles gives big Space Dad vibes.
