Under The Banner of Trump The Pyongyangification of American civic space echoes Nazi era banner politics, as taxpayer-funded Trump banners transform federal buildings into instruments of white Christian nationalist power.

Aaaand I wrote about it:

I don’t support that regime any more than I support the one here.

Trump and the GOP reduce everything to good vs. bad, white hats vs. black hats, because this is what MAGAs understand. Of course, nothing is black and white and it is insulting to the majority of Americans to be talked at like this.

The GOP has abdicated its power to him.
Through proxies, he controls the military, DOJ, FBI, and
built a paramilitary force.
He's buying up multiple warehouses for future prisons.
He's now considering a proposal to shut down the midterms over a national emergency.
He just made a national emergency.

His blithe disinterest in the value of life is so disturbing.

Three American service members killed for no reason.

Trump, from his Mar-A-Lago resort :

β€œwe may have casualties β€” that often happens in war.”

There are more casualties and their number might increase...

This is a despicable and careless loss of life !!!

He said he wants information on the strategy and reasons, but it’s unlikely he will support it. I’m in favor of his wanting to learn the facts before he declares in absolute terms. If he does end up supporting war here, I would be surprised.

CBS News headline declaring no American deaths or injuries have been reported after Iran’s retaliatory strikes.  Very quickly undermined by actual reporting.

It’s time for news outlets to prioritize information over immediacy, and investigation over breathless credulity. Yes, CBS News under Weiss is a dumpster fire, but it’s not just them. The only interest served by rushing out unconfirmed information is that of a lying regime.

Could this be why kegsbreath is where he is?
In an attempt to distract from the Epstein files seems like even starting a war brings us right back to them.
Not that this would shock or surprise anyone but all roads lead to Epstein. Watch this and see link to the file below.

I agree completely. His steadiness in the face of attacks from the right has been inspiring.

They will have so many excuses and false explanations for their cowardice. But none of them matter; their complicity is what has allowed all of this to happen.

The Generals Said No but Trump Was Bored of Peace The peace president, 79, has gone to war, again.

So with all due respect for Operation Epstein Fury, all we’ve done is destabilize more of the world and endanger more peopleβ€”Americans and non-Americans, soldiers and children and everyone in betweenβ€”to sate the bloodlust of a doddering despot. (3/3)

Since Trump's return to office, here's a list of those targeted by his administration The DOJ's unsuccessful attempt to indict six members of Congress is the latest salvo in what critics call a campaign of retribution on the part of Trump's administration.

And (2) think of all those Trump has determined, in his fits of pique, to be β€œbad guys,” both in this country and around the world. The first job of the president is to protect Americans. This president cannot be trusted to do so. He’s the bad guy. (2/3)

Iran strikes were launched without approval from Congress, deeply dividing lawmakers Top lawmakers were notified about the operation shortly before it was launched, but the White House did not seek authorization from Congress to carry out the strikes.

The spin from MAGA on Iran, just like it was with Venezuela, is that these are β€œbad guys.” But the issues are much simpler: (1) we have no plan, no congressional authorization, only the feeding of a madman’s lust for chaos and destruction. (1/3)

Pay attention to elections like this.

These are the elections that ppl think don't matter, but are actually extremely crucial!

Your utility rates will surely rise⬆️.

And will continue to do so til no one can afford the utilities.🀨

Which raises rates ⬆️ more!

Once again, bellicose Trump hasΒ unleashed war without consulting the US Congress.

Once again, blatant lies and exaggerated claimsΒ are being propagatedΒ by himself and his cronies to justify the attack.Β

Let’s not miss the other lede here- Open AI has agreed to allow them to use their product to surveil all of us and power autonomous weapons. There needs to be a boycott/backlash to anything associated with this company and its owner…

Yes. The immediate availability of a company perfectly okay with this should worry us all.

OpenAI announces Pentagon deal after Trump bans Anthropic Shortly after the president's ban of artificial intelligence company Anthropic, rival OpenAI announced it had done a deal with the Defense Department to provide its technology for classified networks.

The current regime has determined that a company is a national security risk because it does NOT want its AI product used for mass surveillance on Americans. That is the Hegseth-Trump bright line: they demand an unfettered ability to spy on all of us.

In Forcing the Clintons to Testify on Epstein, Comer Sets a New Precedent

His attempt to be Trump’s bluntest tool
Might create an unwitting new rule.
Comer opened the door
To call Trump to the floor
To get grilled, fill his diaper, and drool.

James Comer Won’t Let Hillary Clinton Testify Publicly on Epstein The House Oversight Committee chair is digging his heels in.

Perhaps that’s why he wants to obscure
What he’s making the Clintons endure.
If his ham-fisted fight
Risked the glare of the light,
Even MAGA his lies might abjure.

Lead investigator into Biden's use of an autopen signed letters with a digital signature House Oversight Committee Chair Rep. James Comer, R-Ky., used a digital signature to send out letters and subpoena notices related to the Biden autopen investigation.

Now post-Hunter, James Comer’s approach
Has continued beneath mere reproach.
Hypocritical claims
And nefarious aims
Both prevent a more meaningful broach.
