Hei hvor det går!

Congratulations to the idiot media execs, who were sure they could pay a ransom to make Trump be nice to them and it would have no long-term effects whatsoever

blah blah Hunter Biden blah blah Burisma yada yada

Roger Waters hatske utspill er med på sikre at beslutningen om Machado er rett www.facebook.com/share/v/1ZGn...

Trumps ørevisker Stephen Miller er trolig USAs farligste mann, og visestabssjef i Trumps Hvite hus.

Stephen Miller er viktigere for Trump de fleste du har hørt mer om. Har publisert en lang artikkel om ham i dag. Dersom du blir skremt, har du oppfattet det riktig. snoen.substack.com/p/trumps-rev...

WATCH — Republican @RepBuddyCarter hilariously says he’s now filing a resolution to give Trump the Nobel Peace Prize 🤡

Why María Machado Deserved the Nobel Peace Prize The Venezuelan opposition leader shows why participation matters.

Nobel Peace Prizes have often been awarded to people who fight autocracy. Maria Corina Machado fits right into that tradition

Trump will just have to keep murdering fishermen until you stupid jerks give him the peace prize

From the bad old site, in response to pro-immigration commentary from Cato scholars. I wonder whether there's something dangerous in letting presidents just arbitrarily declare one or another group to be a terrorist organization -- nah, I suppose that's alarmist.

Ferrari race on a flat street!

Donald Trump Truth Social Post: Chicago Mayor should be in jail for failing to protect Ice Officers! Governor Pritzker also.

I will not back down.

Trump is now calling for the arrest of elected representatives checking his power.

What else is left on the path to full-blown authoritarianism?

Look, it's crazy for a president to talk this way to the armed forces of the United States, which are paid for by all Americans and are sworn to protect them all too

I won't stop saying it

The Commander in Chief Is Not Okay Trump put on a disturbing show for America’s generals and admirals.

After Donald Trump's address to military leaders today, "senior U.S. officers have to wonder who will shield them from the impulses of the person they just saw onstage," @radiofreetom.bsky.social argues in The Atlantic Daily.

I can’t believe I’m watching interviews of city mayors talking about how they are coordinating with other mayors to discuss how to protect their residents FROM THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES

I know we are “used to it” but it is absolutely insane

Block quote: "Freedom is a fragile thing and it’s never more than one generation away from extinction. It is not ours by way of inheritance; it must be fought for and defended constantly by each generation, for it comes only once to a people." President Ronald Reagan, Inaugural Address as Governor of the State of California (January 5, 1967). I first heard these words of President Reagan’s back in 2007 when my son quoted them in the Law Day celebration speech at the Norfolk Superior Court. I was deeply moved and hold these words before me as a I discharge judicial duties. As I’ve read and re-read the record in this case, listened widely, and reflected extensively, I’ve come to believe that President Trump truly understands and appreciates the full import of President Reagan’s inspiring message –- yet I fear he has drawn from it a darker, more cynical message. I fear President Trump believes the American people are so divided that today they will not stand up, fight for, and defend our most precious constitutional values so long as they are lulled into thinking their own personal interests are not affected. Is he correct?

Finally, Judge Young lays out why this matters to him. He quotes a famous Reagan speech and ends with a plea to the American people to "stand up, fight for, and defend our most precious constitutional values" and not be "lulled" into acquiescence to Trump's crackdown on speech.

It's like stupid Stalinism

If George Washington himself had done this as President, he would have been impeached, removed, prosecuted, and imprisoned. This was one of the greatest fears of the Framers.

The president just gathered the highest ranking officers in the military to tell them that he may order them to kill American citizens -- and that they better follow his orders. All in response to a series of crises that have no basis in reality.

I don't know how to yell any louder.

This precisely. 100%. 10/10. No notes.

This is one of the most demented things Trump has posted

Jason Allen, a Burton resident, told CNN that even locals who didn't personally know Sanford recognized his truck. With flags flying from the back as Sanford drove it through town, "you couldn't miss the truck," Allen said. Sometimes, he said, Sanford would "switch one of his flags out for a 'F*** Biden' flag." Sanford, who went by "Jake," was an Iraq War veteran and outdoorsman, according to military records and social media posts. He grew up in the Flint area and had lived for years in the suburb of Burton, public records show.

So a Trumper with an assault rifle massacred people in a church and burned it down because he hated Mormons. But we're so used to seeing THAT, it'll be out of the news by the end of the week.

No flags at half staff for the slain worshippers I guess.

Chait er alltid bra:«It’s important to avoid hypocrisy about free speech. It’s important to avoid hypocrisy on anything, for that matter. But if your only way of engaging with the issue is to accuse opponents of lacking any principled beliefs, then you probably don’t have any principles of your own»

The Comey indictment "is an indication of how thoroughly Trump has been able to corrupt" the Justice Department, Quinta Jurecic writes. "In any other political moment, this would be obviously impeachable conduct": https://theatln.tc/dlP4mhCt

Charlie Kirk and the ‘Third Great Awakening’ MAGA is embracing the language of a rising Christian movement.

The response to Charlie Kirk’s killing spotlights the power of a rising Christian movement. @mccrummen.bsky.social on how the New Apostolic Reformation has become a vanguard of the broader Christian right:

Even if we took what the indictment claims at face value (and you shouldn't)... this would be complete fucking nonsense.

MAGAs "sado-konservatisme" - Verdibørsen - NRK Radio Hvordan skal vi forstå den store politiske vekkelsen som har hjemsøkt USA?

Lower Than Cowards The surrender of America’s elites

“The cascading acts of cowardice from the people best positioned to resist Trump’s authoritarian power grabs have made him seem exponentially more powerful than he actually is, sapping strength from others who might have discovered the courage to stand up”

If a government tells you that you can’t call it authoritarian, it’s authoritarian.
