well I did not expect to hear Stephen Miller namechecked in a Bruce Springsteen song but here we are

One of the best things I’ve read in a while:

After today's murder, the chances of ICE coming up against someone who is armed and capable and will do all in, is almost certain. What then, massacres by ICE? Followed by a civil war? People forget that 500m guns are owned by citizens, which is like 50 times the number owned by the military.

It’s all the ineptotism

This is what happens to concentration camp guards and leaders when the party is over.

People who attack others by calling them "socialist" or "communist" should be challenged to define what they mean. People who use these terms as slurs can't.

The US has always (not perfectly by any means) been made up of generations of immigrants who started as despised but eventually add their flavor to the melting pot. Even the first people here came from somewhere else and evolved their own unique culture. To deny our unique composition is silly.

Trump says he will attack the cartels in Mexico soon. There are 1.6 million US Citizens living in Mexico. You do the math.

What happens when a US Citizen in a stand your ground/open carry state meets a trigger happy ICE person?

Oil companies know full well that (1) Venezuelan oil is heavy and hard to process, (2) will cost billions to update infrastructure in an unstable country (3) take many years (4) depress the price of oil making existing wells in unprofitable in the US.

Happy 250th to this republic if we can keep it.

Yesterday, @markhertling.bsky.social took a look at what regime change in Venezuela would really look like. Read it now: lnk.thebulwark.com/3NrrnnW

Good luck proving where the evidence came from.

Attacking a country with your military and stealing its leader (no matter how odious) creates a precedent the world cannot tolerate. Any country with a US military base should consider canceling it; it might be used to steal their own leadership, if Trump demands it.

Happy New Year! However, please remember that 30m people are losing healthcare, childcare is now defunded all over the country, people are going hungry, people are being forced into concentration camps or deported to random countries, and the GOP seems OK with all of this.

If I were in Maduro's military, I'd be lining a shot to the head in the hope that Trump will give up. But given Hegsheth's desire to act like a fictional tough guy, he might still attack.

Once the war starts, anyone with brown skin will be considered a Venezuelan, including citizens.

Trump claims an Armada surrounds Venezuela. I seem to recall another Armada that seemed invincible, but turned out pretty bad.

Wondering if the producers of The Death Of Stalin (great dark comedy) are up for a sequel? The Death Of Trump already has a great cast of silly characters to lampoon; you don't even need to exaggerate.

The US is trying to goad Venezuela into starting a war, but they aren't stupid enough to attack the US Navy as that's suicide. But, they can fight asymmetrically. There may be nasty surprises in the US some day. Given how inept our FBI is now, I doubt they will ever see anything coming.

"If we nominate Trump, we will get destroyed.......and we will deserve it." - some South Carolina "Senator". The quote is still up on X.

It's obvious that the Republican Congresspeople want all non-white people to die, and enjoy watching them being killed. Too bad there are no journalists willing to confront them left in national media.

“Without debate, without criticism, no Administration and no country can succeed — and no republic can survive.” - JFK

Maybe no one agrees with me, but I think Trump's medical issues will end within 1 year, maybe less. Unless, of course, Vance pushes him down the stairs first.

Someday when the shooting starts, US Military personnel will listen to their (real) leaders, not to a pretty boy TV host.

One thing about ATC beginning to crack, if shutdown continue for another couple of weeks, air travel might begin to halt, and sports on TV will vanish as no one can go anywhere. I can't imagine Victor Wembanyama riding a bus across the US.

Don't tell RFK about this. www.livescience.com/health/cance...

Trump is supposedly improving the Presidential bunker under the new Ballroom. Perhaps it will be called the "FührerBunker".

Most Americans are either ignorant about what is happening to the country, or don't care. More than all the horrific things Trump et al is doing, what disturbs me most, is that so many Americans seemingly don't give a shit. 7-8 million in a protest is nice, but it should be 20-30 million.

“The Constitution is not an instrument for the government to restrain the people, it is an instrument for the people to restrain the government…” ~Patrick Henry

The three things that destroy civilizations are (1) war (2) climate change (like drought etc.) and (3) corruption. I think the US seems to be going for the trifecta.

Black Monday anyone? October 19, 1987.

Their outrage always seems to skip the actual predators.

And in 2013:

If ATC walks out (they are not being paid), the shutdown will end quickly. No air traffic = total economy shutdown. Even a stupid congress person understands this. I believe this happened before (ATC in DC area walked out leaving Congress stuck).
