Fractures Emerge Between GOP’s Pro-Pedophilia, Extremely Pro-Pedophilia Wings YouTube video by The Onion

It's funny because it's true!

11 years later, the Senate Republicans’ open letter to Iran is relevant anew Remember in 2015, when Sen. Tom Cotton and 46 of his GOP colleagues wrote to Iran in order to undermine their own country’s negotiating position?

Remember in 2015, when Sen. Tom Cotton and 46 of his Republican colleagues wrote to Iran in order to undermine their own country’s negotiating position during delicate nuclear negotiations?

As talks in Islamabad continue, I keep thinking about that GOP sabotage effort.

It’s critical to note that this clip should be taken as evidence that Trump is (obviously) taking cuts of the funds being used to build his new white house ballroom, the arc, etc

Orc philosophers.

Hey, Lord Dampnut, I think everyone in your cabinet and the agencies you control, the people you installed, is conspiring against you. You should fire them all. Then do your Mini-me and Eric. They're all disloyal and making you look bad. Best fire them. And see if you can get rid of Kavanaugh, too.

In a nutshell. 😊

Inquiring minds want to know

Hungary can't happen in Russia. Their democratic institutions have been more thoroughly Potemkined. He's afraid a Ceaușescu will happen in Russia.

Trump Admin Wants To Take Major Bite Out Of NASA Budget

Trump got his PR stunt with the Artemis crew and a complete distraction from the Epstein-Trump files. He lied that the Artemis mission was his (it was started with Biden).

One week later, Trump wants to cut 23% from the NASA budget. Can't make it up.

I don't think Kash Patel identifies as Christian. And RFK, Jr. is not too fussed about any religious identity, I think. He's nominally Catholic, but I'd be surprised if he regularly attended any religious service. I'm sure the rest of them, especially Hegseth, fancy themselves to be Christian.

This illustrates the need for broad and comprehensive reforms with money in politics. We need an international “No Dictators Day” before he steps up his attack on the nation he was supposed to govern, not humiliate. 😱🤬

This man is our nation’s enemy. He must be impeached. The world is watching.. 🤺🇺🇸

If the 'Save America Act' actually lived up to its name

it would contain Articles of Impeachment

Palantir doesn't make clear who "our adversaries" are, because it suits them for people to think "China, or perhaps Russia". Palantir's adversaries are people who believe in democracy, plurality, equality, open society etc. They're internal.

Their *allies* are more likely to be from China or Russia

The United States is destroying itself | Rebecca Solnit The daily news can’t adequately convey the administration’s sabotaging of our government, economy, alliances and environment

“The United States is being murdered, and it’s an inside job. Every department, every branch, every bureau and function of the federal government is being fatally corrupted or altogether dismantled or disabled.”

The Democrats are the party of the working class in terms of their policies, but Republicans say, "Hey, white working class, you're not working class, you're white. You're special. The Democrats say you aren't." The working class says, "Makes sense! Here are our votes!"

It's affinity fraud.

All of the Founders' worst fears about how American democracy could go off the rails - lack of separation between church and state, a populist demagogue assuming dictatorial powers - are happening just in time for the 250th birthday

Individuals without state sponsorship a) don't have a lot of resources and b) are very vulnerable.

All the likely state-sponsored hacker teams are on the side of the Epstein class: Russia, China, North Korea, US. Iran might do it. Saudi Arabia and Israel won't. I'm not sure where the UK stands, but their ruling class seems pretty tangled up in this, so most likely not them either.

The Heritage Foundation wouldn't fire Johnson. He's their employee.

Well, they haven't been arrested in the *US*. American exceptionalism, donchaknow. It makes one well up with pride and shed a patriotic tear.

Sure, if you took away the hatred, vanity, and stupidity, all that would be left of Trump would be corruption.

- amend the Constitution to make the amendment process itself less onerous

And so forth. There's a lot of low-hanging fruit, but our broken Constitution and the neo-Confederates raise all the fruit up about 100 feet.

- join the international institutions we shun because we want to let our soldiers commit crimes
- amend the constitution so there are some offenses that don't require the impeachment process to eliminate a rogue president
- put abiding by international agreements on this list
- universal healthcare

Thoughts on a New Civic Contract Yesterday I noted G. Elliott Morris’s argument that extremely poor consumer sentiment...

My thoughts:
- make billionaires impossible
- sever the equivalence of money and speech
- re-establish constraints on the executive
- some sort of ranked choice or approval voting to break the two-party binary
- abolish presidential pardons
- nationalize voting

What Republicans are perpetrating on their voters. What Likud is perpetrating on non-Israeli Jews and American evangelicals. What every Kid Rock-esque "patriot" in right white and blue pants perpetrates on the rubes. How the Fox News charlatans earn their dough.

Trump hasn't stuck to a consistent explanation for the war with Iran, but his history and behavior make the truth clear: the purpose of the war -- the reason he bought Bibi's pitch -- is to dominate someone so he appears dominant. It's therapy for a tyrant. Therapeutic mass murder.

Tim Kaine should immediately file a bill to prevent the Department of War from receiving Department of Defense funds.

"Standing with Israel instead of the working class"

Tell us what you know about Biden and Harris's labor policies, please. It shouldn't take long.

Yeah, that's the second category of people who are about as easy to read as "Hop on Pop": people still beating the Kamala/Gaza drum. It was always asinine and it has aged worse than raw milk spilled in the gutter.
