A stimmy for you, a stimmy for you, a stimmy for everybody...

Sadly, the Supremes' embrace of the Unitary Executive Theory gives him the authority to direct the actions of all members of the executive branch down to the most granular level, including the issuance and execution of orders to the Marshalls. Nice thought, though..

Terrible brain fog today.

"Make them afraid and they will bankrupt themselves." - Osama bin Laden

Looks like she could be siblings with my Li'l Bub.

I read some reporting that Bret Baier said, "Authenticity is the KING of the realm." That's COIN of the realm, you fucking boob. Also, as a side note, how come no one can properly conjugate the verb "to be" anymore? "There is" is for singular items, "There are" or "There're" are plural- come on now

Prime opportunity to lay down some markers- organically grown in the USA!

Bill Clinton be like: this is for Hillary you son of bitch

So - it's not the size of your bag of marbles, it's the percentage of the total marbles......" he who can destroy a thing, controls a thing." - Old Fremen saying

Leave it to the kings of Captain Obvious-level gaslighting to deny the Epstein victims the transparency they deserve under the guise of protecting them. What motherfucking ever.

Aw, goddammit- they even got the souped-up Beemers out of Clancy's Clear and Present Danger. Kash fancies himself some kind of Felix Cortez character. The entire narrative has been poached out of that book with minor changes. Check out what's attached to Molly's post below..

Hmmmm. That's a particularly trenchant question, capable of causing traumatic brain injury.

Let's do some level setting here. The Epstein estate released 2500 email threads. Those threads contained 1,600 + mentions of Donald Trump. Based on that ratio, 200,000 pages of documents released by the doj should have had over 100,000 Trump mentions contained within- but there's only two. Whatever

The plain text of the Constitution deserves first class protection. No more "Writing a ruling for the ages," goddammit.

David Hogg has found a place for himself in the party where he is overall doing some good, but being the big tent party means you have to let go of the desire to have a civil war in the Democratic Party in service of the narrative that progressives were right and centrists were wrong somehow. No.

Well, looks like we'll never be seeing any more pictures of the Epstein tribe with any women or girls because every single one of them might be a victim. Oops. Another unintentional loophole.

The question is: have women failed feminism? Right up to the last week of the 2024 campaign I believed 100% that the women of America would rise up and repudiate the patriarchy, but no..

It is crucial that we remember that any childhood vaccine removed from the recommended list will no longer be paid for by the Vaccines For Children program which covers the cost for half of the children in the nation- those who are uninsured underinsured or on Medicaid will have to pay out of pocket

"I'll have some more of that!" Christian Bale as Ken Miles in Ford vs Ferrari

Yeah, man. It's important for people to remember that the 35,000 pages they released pursuant to the oversight committee subpoena was only ONE THREE HUNDREDTH of the total files. Specifically, that is one gig of material out of 300 total gigs of material. So 100,000 pages would be 1% of the total.

The whole point is that we the people, through our elected representatives, have decided that in this case we will collectively disregard the norm preventing the release of names of witnesses and participants not charged with a crime. Apparently that wasn't spelled out in sufficiently specific terms

What's the right word for his conclusion? Facile? Obtuse? Trump is trolling his Latino voters by doing the exact opposite of what he said he would and it's backfiring big time. This may be the most potent weapon that he has handed us, and it is political malpractice not to use it enthusiastically.

Of course he is. His whole shtick is doing the exact opposite of what he tells his base he's going to do, and then rubbing their acceptance of such in the collective faces of the non-Kool-Aid-drinking rest of us. Standard issue typical Trump. Same as killing drug mules while pardoning the Kingpin.

"Just cuz you say it with conviction, it don't mean shit to me." - Axel Foley's boss in Beverly Hills Cop.

GASLIGHT, GASLIGHT, GASLIGHT just like murdering drug mules while pardoning the Kingpin. Trump is always brandishing his hard base of 38% like some intimidating weapon that will back him no matter how audacious his lies are.

Fox News is committed to playing the part of the ones heaping praise upon the "Emperor's" new clothes.

LYING FUCK. In the summer of 2024 it leaked out that he was planning on spending $180 million, that's 45 million per month for the last 4 months, on Trump's campaign. He casually blew that off, as though only an idiot would think it was true. Turns out it wasn't- the cocksucker spent $290 million.

I'm hoping that the Republican wildebeests see a group starting to form up, ready to cross the crocodile infested river in a bunch for safety, and jump ship to take this one opportunity to avoid being taken, shaken, death-rolled and eaten by public opinion.

Something along these lines is definitely what we need to be shooting for.

Lies, lies, and More Lies. Qualifying to rent an apartment is quite the process these days. No one who's undocumented is getting into the apartment complex I live in- I can guarantee you that.

His entire defense of his actions on j6 hinges on the fact that he said peacefully and patriotically one time during his ellipse speech. One little disclaimer and Trump is immune from criticism, but if a Dem strays one little bit from the path of perfect consistency,then their credibility is shot.

In virtually every case, his actions produce the opposite result of what he claims his intentions are. This pattern is too consistent to be unintentional. He is safe from prison, so he's just trolling. Looking any deeper than that is a waste of time.

I can't remember who it was, but one of the Republican Congress Critters admitted the other day that he voted for Trump policies that he disagreed with solely to protect the quality of life of his immediate family. We all knew this but it's a little jarring to hear it straight out.

Look at the enormous spike in mass shootings during the year of Biden's campaign and his four-year term of office! Then the schoolyard bully gets back in office, and the number goes right back down.

When they deport the parents of a citizen child, they are creating one of what Steven Miller hates the most- a "public charge." To him, paying for that child's foster care and upkeep is the ultimate Evil. They use their "God File" to target unaccompanied minors for the same financially driven reason

Both individuals and institutions see Trump having some limited success aggressively trying to stake out a position on both sides of any given issue, and are attempting to emulate. This is a superpower that only Trump possesses, so good luck assholes.

It's all trolling- every last bit of it. The Trumpian bird finger is so large and heavy that it takes the energy required to run three data centers just to lift it up and jam it in the collective faces of his own supporters.

Just a reminder that the Republicans have not put forward a single idea to improve health care access or the affordability of such since a decade ago when they were still promoting the idea of Permitting the purchase of health insurance across state lines to promote competition. What effing ever.

Occam's razor says this was always a kamikaze mission. Lindsay Halligan clearly has agreed to sacrifice her law license by misrepresenting the facts to the grand jury in return for God knows what. This was never intended to produce more than headlines announcing AG James's indictment.

"Every gun that is made, every warship launched, every rocket fired signifies, in the final sense, a theft from those who hunger and are not fed, those who are cold and are not clothed." -Dwight D. Eisenhower, 1953

These hearings are nothing more than Kabuki trolling sessions.

These hearings are nothing more than Kabuki trolling sessions.

I sure wish that VP Harris would have put killing the filibuster and expanding the Supreme Court right up front in her campaign message, along with a nationalized trifecta message to make it all stick. Many still blame Biden and the party writ large for the refusals of Manchin and Sinema.

Yes my brother, that's very disappointing. However a 19% abandonment rate added to a bunch of outraged stay-homes can do a lot of damage. There. Glass half full.

The Unitary Executive Theory is: 1) Sophistry 2) A murder suicide pact 3) Particularly stupid when considered in a vacuum

What message are they trying to send? I've got your Kavanaugh stop hanging!?

Rachel I share your concerns about the aggregation of data in one place. I have taken to calling it "The God File." They may have used the AI searchable nature of it to successfully identify the pipe bomber. They are definitely using it to identify people with less than green cards and long 1/2
