William Hamilton

I see contempt and sadistic pleasure.

I'll believe it when I see it, and I hope I do. But don't hold your breath for arrests because ICE has already been in violation with respect to body cams and warrantless arrests.

So are these alleged donors enemies of the United States? Business partners of White House insiders? Does this transform the US military into something more like a mercenary force?

Who at the Pentagon is responsible for implementing this?

Donating to DOJ for a specific purpose has dubious legality. If that matters any more.

Fetterman is as rotten as any Senate Republican and Schumer loves to give them bipartisan cover, so there might be a couple of Democrats voting to confirm the Ambassador professing a NAZI perspective of the job.

He's a lock to be confirmed by Republicans. The only question is will one or two Republicans express potential misgivings before voting to confirm?

So somebody - Congress if there's any still functioning, courts if any still follow the laws, any fed agents still supporting American - freeze the damned construction. Encumber the funds. Make arrests

With the government shut down, a supposed war against an invasion going on, the economy teetering on the brink of collapse, and troops in the streets to quell unrest, Trump's top priority is building a ballroom for his parties.

That really is weird isn't it?

That's fine when it's about political philosophy or policy differences. But there is a point where no one can stand above it all.

If nothing else a scientist can add his voice to the millions whose integrity won't allow them to remain silent

That's really doubtful. It can be torn down in a few days, just like the East Wing.

It's true that Sean Duffy is in over his head at NASA. He'd be under-qualifed to manage the parking lot, let alone the whole agency. It's also true that Musk spent hundreds of millions to ensure that men like Duffy could be put in charge.

Melting ice sheets are less dense than the salty water, which impedes the sinking of warmer water at the poles. This impacts circulation and heat distribution. Which will introduce fluctuations.

It might partially explain the rising surface temperatures.

Our beef prices are high because ranchers sold off their breeding stock. Those who refrained are making bank.

To them I say, sell your ranch to someone who knows what he's doing. That's capitalism.

He's destroying a symbol of American values.

But if we get three more years of Trump unchecked, a lot of us aren't going to care if we see the entire White House reduced to rubble.

I’ll be blunt: that’s the kind of ignorant take that keeps Democrats weak. Calling accountability “infighting” shows zero grasp of how dire this is. Our leadership’s been about as aggressive as a 101-year-old who forgot his Viagra prescription.

Jack Smith let the clock run out, and he did it deliberately. I have a hard time feeling sympathy about his bad karma catching up.

Because he's mentally handicapped and has no control over his facial expressions.

How many sodas could be bought for what we just spent on private jets for a Trump bureaucrat? A lifetime supply for every person using food stamps?

And btw magas, it doesn't matter which dollar you use for a soda and which for eggs. Money is fungible!

Why can't a 53 year old woman dress and act like a dick when our President does it daily?

It didn't fit with that joyful cheerleader hopeful vibe that they decided to go with. "They're weird" was just too serious you know.

I hope they all have to sell daddy's ranch to a Mexican billionaire or Argentine state company.

Bet they wish now that they didn't let him skate on all those crimes and run out the clock on others

Do you suppose that Halligan was simply trying to intimidate you? She is prosecuting someone for leaking to the press, and she accused you of "leaking". Maybe it's as simple as that?

A threat can loom larger in the estimation of those threatened than the execution of the threat. It is potential, and could manifest in any of a hundred ways. Defending against them all will extend the enemy, and tax their resolve, more than responding to a specific forceful action.

In general that's the impact of large demonstrations. It's not to show discontent - they can already know that from polling - but rather the implied threat.

I think it's better to milk the threat for a while yet.

I'd boycott American products here in Georgia USA, but it's not really feasible. I have to pick and choose who I can deny.

Time's up already. The question is, when do the alternative aggressive approaches become the most effective. I'm happy that no-kings was peaceful and I know they're imagining a future 7 million carrying weapons.

It's going to be a matter of timing.

Huge protests are a threat of potential political violence, regardless of whether any overt threats are made. That's a good start, for now.
