Palmer whiffs lol

I want to remind everyone that the US has sanctioned members of the International Criminal Court for going through a formal legal process to identify international leaders who engaged in war crimes, making them vulnerable to arrest.

“Well… we can’t just keep filing impeachment articles all the time.” Yes you can! If the man is committing impeachable offenses on the regular, you’re acquiescing to a standard that raises the bar for impeachable offense to absurd levels.

Nice night to see some omfs 😘😘😘

Not now, defense contractor advertising on the Yellow Line

As it turns out, installing a man into high office who has utter contempt for his position and the Constitution he supposedly swore to uphold is bad! Oops!

Miller is a Nazi full stop. It is terrifying that a man of his character and lack of redeeming qualities is directing any policy at all, but he’s basically shadow president.

The Te Deums we will sing when it finally happens. 🎶 Oh Lord, in Thee have I trusted: let me never be confounded. 🎶

Dems who serve in the next Congresses need an entirely different conception of Congress, its powers, and the lengths worth going to assert them than the Dems we have now.

A Tale of Two Gooners

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion. Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government. Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits. This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

The constitutional remedy for a president who commits acts of war without the authorization of Congress is impeachment, removal, and disqualification followed by a a criminal trial. This is true regardless of what the idiot John Roberts thinks.

QUO USQUE TANDEM ABUTERE, CATILINA, PATIENTIA NOSTRA?

Can't help but feel like this is one of the reasons why the Constitution says If a dude in office does an insurrection, don't let that motherfucker hold office again Bc clearly they cannot be trusted with power & control over the levers of government, & they do not care about democratic constraints

The year is 1991. A Republican president has gotten us into a regime change war. The year is 2003. A Republican president has gotten us into a regime change war. The year is 2026.

That was EXCELLENT work from Noni Madueke.

The president’s “inherent authority” … are you fucking serious? At what point in the past few decades has Venezuela perpetrated an actual, or been involved in an imminent, attack against the United States? The drugs excuse is facile. If that were the case, he’d not have pardoned Hernández.

Reminder: The US has refused to join the International Criminal Court because it argues extraterritorial justice is incompatible with national sovereignty and citizen's rights.

The arguments for why it's bad politics are all unpersuasive, but also no excuse even if it were true. You took an oath and that oath is not contingent on if the other members of Congress will join you in doing the right thing. It does not depend on which party is in the majority. Get caught trying.

To bed, to bed! there's knocking at the gate: come, come, come, come, give me your hand. What's done cannot be undone.—To bed, to bed, to bed!

"To initiate a war of aggression, therefore, is not only an international crime; it is the supreme international crime differing only from other war crimes in that it contains within itself the accumulated evil of the whole." - Nuremberg Trial Proceedings, Vol. 22, 30 Sept. 1946

Chief (In)Justice John Roberts knowing that this particular president is deranged, intensely venal and self-interested, and easily led, *and choosing to give him near absolute immunity* for “official acts” is one of the most destructive acts against the Constitution anyone has ever perpetrated.

Except instead of just getting themselves killed (although I think it’s not unlikely that they will) they’re committing war crimes and destroying the entire American experiment to produce content for their posts. It’s all for retweets, all for Content

You have to go through Congress for anything resembling this type of war. Round up Massie and Paul types and have him removed. The people in this administration are on actual drugs and have insatiable bloodlust and bespoke mental illnesses. He has to go, and everybody with him.

Remember that Trvmp assassinated an Iranian general on January 3, 2020. It’s fucking weird how he’s quite literally done this before with zero repercussions.

Again, we're just pretending now that we still have a functioning constitutional order. Trump has illegally attacked 🇻🇪, illegally deployed the military on 🇺🇸 soil, illegally dismantled large swathes of the federal government, illegally demolished the East Wing, etc. & 🦗. A total Article I failure.

Congress must impeach the president and his aides who are leading us to utter ruin. It’s clear the man can barely function. If anything, it would be a fucking kindness to him.

Remember when the anti-COVID vaccine people were like, "What if we don't want to get vaccinated?" and the response was "Then wear a mask and stay home if you're symptomatic." Seems pretty basic, right? But apparently that is tyranny, so just, you know, go hog wild with measles now.

Ohhhhhh boy. Do I have thoughts about this. I went to a mass wedding once at a megachurch (whose founder actually was just arrested for sexual abuse of a minor), and this woman behind me was wailing during the light show, and it was the most outrageous spectacle I had seen in person.

The best part of the new year IMO

My gay hockey smut books arrived today (purchased from a hometown independent bookstore via Bookshop.org). Me:

I woke up late, did fuck all today, am ironing my pillow cases and duvet cover, and just iced some cinnamon rolls. 2026 off to a fantastic start.

Sunderland has had two or three gilt edged chances which resulted in really tepid shots. Annoying as hell considering how they played us.

But for some reason the USPS is supposed to make money

A guy I hooked up in college just posted the most INSANE body tea in his HNY thirst trap. I think I’m going to expire. I used to be hot and could pull, FYI. Jesus Christ. 🥵

bidding the year goodbye the only appropriate way

😍🥳🍾

Performative public lying is a hallmark of far right authoritarian parties

What are we drinking tonight, fam? La Grande Année 2014 for me.

Once again, I scream: WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE DOING, AND WHY IS CONGRESS ALLOWING THIS? This man is not emperor; he doesn't have plenary authority to dismantle government agencies on a lark.

This president views himself as sovereign. The PEOPLE are sovereign here, and yet... no one person or body embodies our will, especially not this Congress. We must figure out a way to remedy this to stop this from happening again in future.

When I was 13/14, a freshman in high school who was a year ahead of me died of the flu. It completely shook our very sheltered community. I was friends with her siblings and knew her parents. To this day, I think of her every time I get my flu shot. Fuck “Dr” Oz and his snake oil medical advice.

This is FARCICAL by the way

I’m not *not* watching the highlights of a game that ended like an hour ago. For the dopamine.

Why did we play Aston Villa twice before we played Bournemouth even once? That's really weird, no?

They called that a foul for … nothing?

Caicedo on an early yellow and will miss the next game, fouls again, and yet somehow we never talk about Chelsea’s discipline overall or his particularly. But last season we had to hear over and over about Arsenal’s “poor discipline” over rules that PGMOL selectively enforced.

Still mind-blowing that a top admin official was revealed to have taken $50,000 in cash in a paper bag from people looking for government favors, the reaction of the administration was "Whatever losers, this is how it works now" and bigshot news media said "If you say so, we'll forget about it"
