Justice Jackson was prescient in her warnings on presidential immunity: βIβm trying to understand what the disincentive is from turning the Oval Office into the seat of criminal activity in this country.β and "I worry that after this ruling, our Nation will reap what this Court has sown."
In the primaries, absolutely. In the general, every Democrat is better than any Republican.
"The Vatican is in desperate need of criminal justice reform. As of today, any criminal can walk into the Vatican, confess to any crime, immediately be forgiven, and walk out with zero consequences."

The primary is the place to replace establishment, corporate Democrats with progressives who will fight for us. In the general, every Democrat is better than any Republican.
A shitpost from the scummy internet forum 4chan. It is titled "The Wisdom of Don Tzu," a satire of "The Wisdom of Lao Tzu," and features an image of a man who looks somewhat like Trump, but in a traditional Chinese art style. The body of the post reads: "If you don't know what you're doing, neither does your enemy. The supreme art of war is to lose and then announce victory. speak loudly and carry a small stick. Make sure to alienate and threaten your allies for no reason so that they turn against you. After you burn bridges with your allies, beg them for help. Break all promises you made to your supporters so that they turn against you. Redeploy your overseas bases and weapons so that you cannot project power. Always rush into conflict without planning it. When you want to rally a people to your cause, slaughter their children and threaten to genocide them. Spend a huge sum of money on war and then withdraw from battle because it's too costly. Appear strong and manly when you are weak. Then, throw tantrums like a little girl. Be a lapdog to a tiny, unpopular country which blackmails you for raping children. Boast of war crimes so that the other party can prosecute you more easily when they're in power.

That's how long it takes for his supporters to forget he said anything at all.
Iran released another LEGO inspired video. This one is specifically for Pete Hegseth.
It happens. I have also experienced teleportation, personally. It's really trippy! For me, it happened at a festival, after consuming way too many drugs.
Yeah; it'd be lovely to have a parliamentary system, where the government can switch quickly, and can kick out leaders via a vote of no confidence, and call for immediate new elections.
I wonder if we can shoehorn some type of accountability into our 230+ year old Constitution.
I like it! The next administration can honor extradition requests from Iran. They can take ππ©, Kegsbreath, Vance, Miller, Lynsie Graham, Supreme Court Justices who granted unlimited power to the presidency, and so on. That, plus reparations for thrashing their country, might be sufficient.

@murray.senate.gov, at some point (maybe after ππ© is out) can you all please pass a law that funds the TSA via a small fee on every airline ticket? If there is any part of government that should be self-funded, itβs anything related to the airline industry.

So much more disgusting. I donβt think decent people can even imagine how low he can go, how much more damage he can cause.
Pro tip: assume there is no bottom, no depth to which they will not sink, no horror too horrible for them to pursue. They will continue to get worse until they are gone.
4 frame comic. first frame shows the banner of Trump's face that appeared in DC last year. Second frame shows Mussolini giving a speech in front of a church. third shows the silhouette of Putin. Fourth shows the silhouette of Trump giving a speech in front of a Trump - Make America Great Again banner. The text, spread over the four frames, reads : coined by ruth ben-ghiat, history professor and author of "strongmen: Mussolini to the present", autocratic backfire refers to the self-destructive pattern of authoritarian leaders who isolate themselves from expert advice and objective feedback. "I follow my instincts and I am never wrong," said mussolini shortly before invading ethiopia, which made him popular at first, but led to the bankruptcy of the italian state. doesn't that sound familiar? surrounded by an echo chamber of sycophants, auto- crats overestimate their power and underestimate their adver- saries. that's how russia is still sending ever more people to die in ukraine for a "special operation" that was supposed to last just a few days. strongmen are at their most dangerous when they feel threatened. they might even, for example, start wars to protect their over-inflated egos from historically low polling numbers.
What is "autocratic backfire"?
Theyβll put inspirational messages over the front gate to encourage workers. Maybe βArbeit Macht Freiβ, or βEl Trabajo Te Liberaβ.
Truth be told, NATO was facing a very bad future the minute ππ© was elected. If they didnβt know it then, they definitely all know it by now, and have been working hard to disentangle themselves from us in every way.
I keep seeing ads for it. Really donβt understand whyβ¦ Sure, Iβd be down to take $100,000 to have it in the background while I play with my dog, but youβd think the panopticon weβre all living in would know that non ππ© cultists are never going to watch it.

The 25th is implemented by the cabinet. Theyβre too busy sucking up to ππ© by wearing shoes that he gave them that donβt fit.
