The Ku Klux Kourt

Don't forget: my old Yale Law classmate Clarence Thomas refused to recuse from Jan. 6 cases despite his wife's involvement in the plot. And he's taken at least 100 gifts worth over $2 million while serving, including from GOP donor Harlan Crow. He's a disgrace to the Court.

Buttiigieg: "Look, when you are this deep into your second year, if your reflex is to still be trying to blame the previous administration, it really shows that you are out of ideas, out of solutions, and unwilling to take ownership of your own choices."

CARTOON OF THE DAY

This needs to be the response consistently from Democrats. We’ve been too weak for too long.

The trump administration is throwing the book at a guy who posted seashells forming the numbers "86 47" but allow ICE agents who murder Americans in the streets to walk free.

I'm trying desperately to 86 my hysterical laughter at this incredibly imbecilic indictment, Todd Blanche, and the Justice Department, but I fear I won't be able to.

Donald Trump is lying again about elections. You might recall this once lead to a violent insurrection in the Capitol where police officers were attacked and injured. I realize the legacy media wants us to say this nicely, but they can go fuck off. Support Democracy Docket instead. bit.ly/4qr0jTS

The attack on Iran killed an entire building full of school children on day one. We've been executing sailors and claiming they were terrorists with no evidence and everyone just moves on. Spare me the "turn down the rhetoric" garbage

“To say that President Trump is corrupt is to somehow understate the size, scope and magnitude of his corruption. It is as if you were to describe a modern thermonuclear device as a ‘bomb.’ That is true enough, but it is not quite the truth. It does not capture the nature of the thing in full.”

I’m reading this lawsuit Kash filed against The Atlantic. I’m struggling to find where they were wrong.

Today's winner of the Internet. Congratulations!

WOW: A stunning new report in the WSJ reveals that military advisers intentionally excluded Donald Trump from the command room during the recent high-stakes operation to extract a downed U.S. airman in Iran, because they feared his erratic behavior could jeopardize the mission. 1/

CNN’s Harry Enten: “It is a blowout in the net popularity ratings. It’s not even close. It’s a nearly 50 point blowout amongst the American public at large. Pope Leo XIV absolutely crushing Trump when it comes to how popular they are.”

Congrats on “opening” a strait that was open six weeks ago, and all it cost was at least 13 dead service members, thousands of dead Iranian civilians, tens of billions in taxpayer dollars, our loss in global standing, and the Iranian regime’s increase in power. Phenomenal work.

Of note…if the Uberballroom is going to be effectively a fortified military complex and hospital, it AIN’T costing $400 million. Maybe some corporate schmucks are paying part of the cost of the “ballroom,” but you better bet we are paying for everything else, and it will be A LOT. And not needed.

One down, two to go.

Cartoon view of a dangerous & colossal failure by this regime…

Trump went from making genocidal threats against Iran to becoming business partners with Iran in 24 hours. The guy is loonier than a shithouse rat.

This take is accurate. Listen to the ABC News interview of Trump by Jonathan Karl this morning. It quickly becomes evident that Trump doesn't actually know the terms of the ceasefire deal he agreed to. He's not a negotiator. He's a buffoon.

The President of the United States is threatening war crimes. That alone is illegal. He is unfit for office. I am urging the entire military command to remember your oath to the Constitution. Do not follow illegal orders. Do not commit war crimes. The stain and repercussions will be endless.

"The fact is that Trump deserves to be impeached and convicted for his behavior in his second term. The misconduct of Trump, in terms of his corruption and that of his associates, is unparalleled in our history. His abuses of power leave Nixon in the dust." open.substack.com/pub/thebulwa...

Seriously, here's a pretty good summary from Claude of the applicable legal principles:

This is an actual post. This is not funny. This is beyond desperate. This is a deeply unwell man who doesn’t belong anywhere near the levers of power. Every member of his cabinet and Congress is complicit in not demanding his removal now.

By Ukrainian cartoonist Maksym Igorovych

The US military is well on its way to becoming a partisan political rogue federal agency just like all the others, largely because retired Republican veterans in Congress and elsewhere betray their oaths to the Constitution by remaining silent.

He makes a persuasive case.

This was so predictable. What a nasty, awful, indecent man with no redeemable qualities.
