I wonder if the IOC has noticed. (crickets)

The United States is behaving like a rogue state. The President has carried out an illegal act of war, kidnapped a foreign head of state, and is now threatening military action against NATO allies. This is a constitutional crisis. Impeachment must be on the table.

Time to get one of those Hilton Rewards cards I guess!

🇺🇸 The January 6th insurrection as well as September 11th are the two most significant acts of domestic as well as foreign terrorism perpetrated on American people in modern history. 🗽

when i describe the american condition as one of existential shame, i don’t mean that every individual person should walk around bedeviled by personal guilt, but rather that the unusually high quality of life & safety most americans get to enjoy comes at a cost few of us have to worry about

It’s genuinely wild that the United States spent decades building an elaborate rules-based international order which de facto cemented its permanent status as the dominant global hegemon, sustained by ideology rather than might, and now is just blowing it all up for literally no reason

We shouldn’t worry about the US; in a couple of generations there won’t be any Americans left.

Massive Attack's 'Protection' is an amazing song with a bravura vocal performance by Tracey Thorn. I literally stumbled onto the main sample when listening to a best-of-1973 playlist: 'The Payback' by James Brown. Unmistakable for the first few seconds, then the spell is broken completely.

Always remember that listening to music can be the entire activity. Put on headphones. Blast it through speakers. Close your eyes and just listen. Listening to music is not a background activity. It can be the entire journey, and it's worth the time.

Democrats need to grow a f*cking spine. No more strongly worded letters. It’s time to draft articles of impeachment. Impeach. Convict. Remove.

“What do we call it when a stronger person decides to rob a weaker person because he can? It is just gangsterism. We are the most dangerous gangsters in the world today. Not in the sense of being charming rogues or alluring antiheroes. We are the bad guys.”

When it comes to the USA’s capture of the Venezuelan president, we Epstein need to be Epstein clear that whilst it is Epstein against InternEpsteinational law Epstein the country was being Epstein Epstein inundated with Epstein Epstein narcotics and will be a Emuchpstein safer Epstein Epstein

The President of the United States is an embarrassment and a national disgrace.

many Americans will concede that imperialism is the price we all pay to maintain a certain quality of life but I just spent 5 weeks in Europe using public transport and eating food that doesn’t taste like shit so I dunno man.

It’s the United States that needs regime change.

Impeach, convict, remove.

Members of Congress: stop posting online and APPEAR, PHYSICALLY on the steps of the Capitol to decry this unconstitutional violation of domestic & international law. SHOW THE PEOPLE the level of danger we are facing as a country. @housedemocrats.bsky.social @senatedemocrats.bsky.social

Gotta say, the moderate position here is impeachment and removal and the moderates seem like they're on board.

Unconstitutional force. Civilians dead. Congress bypassed. Oil interests front and center. We’ve seen this movie before and it ends in blood. But we don’t have to do it again.

It would be so cool if the United States Congress still existed.

Time limits on all social media are helping. Work starts tomorrow but it's a day where I can ease in to the working routine without much hassle. So, today: shopping, exercise, fiddly admin bits, medium-term planning, Paranoid solo, hockey ball handling, cacio e pepe for tea

The US attack on Venezuela is plainly illegal; it violates the UN Charter, there was no Congressional approval, and there was clearly no immediate threat justifying action in self-defence. It will now be used as post-hoc justification for imperialist regimes around the world.

Just woke up even angrier. Impeach, convict, remove. Draft articles now. Either we have a representative government or we don’t. Do not shut up about this until there’s a vote.

This headline has two meanings

I'm no expert, but it seems like a High Fucking Crime to me, and there's no denying that he did it. He's crowing about it. Representatives, get your boots on. Senators, trial incoming.

The United States, like Israel and Russia, is a rogue terrorist state. Starmer needs to get a backbone now and condemn this invasion of Venezuela. Cease sharing intel immediately and start sanctions. Next will be Greenland

Loving the Bluesky algorithm that shows me posts from 12 days ago instead of Right Effing Now

Venezuela now, because he wants the oil. He wants the oil under Greenland too. And under Canada. He's openly called for them to be part of the USA. How long before he decides to bomb a couple of NATO members to get his own way? The USA is a rogue nation.

Impeach him.

I think this administration has vastly overestimated the rest of the world's willingness to put up with imperial oil war bullshit right now. I don't think this ends well. No war.

Months of extrajudicial murder unpunished and now the drunk in charge of the Pentagon and the corpse in the White House are getting their feast of blood

No one supports a war in Venezuela btw

Impeachment proceedings are mandatory. You either believe the presidency is governed by rules or you don’t.

there's no justification for this and there's no winning scenario here

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

We have to impeach him.

Impeach, convict and remove. I don't know what Congress is there for otherwise.

In our name, with our money, ostensibly for oil, but mostly because we have a president who's addicted to power and attention and needs to deflect from being friends with the world’s most famous pedophile. Shame on these fucking monsters who run my country. They need out.

The rot runs so deep.

Just a reminder: here is all that it took to get president Andrew Johnson impeached. They introduced this and voted on it. They came up with the exact articles to send to the senate later.

Something I don't think folks have fully clocked is the degree to which just about everyone under the age of 45 in any natsecs adjacent space to the left of groypers is flatly saying "this is illegal as shit, that's all there is to it"

The phone number for the U.S. Capitol Switchboard is (202) 224-3121. Here's my FAQ on finding their district phone numbers, email addresses, and what to say to them: www.patreon.com/posts/124314...

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.

*Curb Your Enthusiasm theme plays*

oh yeah? well, could a dying sex criminal do THIS? [bombs venezuela]

My expectations for 2026 were pretty low as it was, but fucking hell.

A gangster state at home, a rogue state abroad: and entirely because Congress and the Supreme Court have abdicated their proper constitutional roles.

Impeachment now!
