That's why DOGE and MAGA are so focused on getting voter rolls (to disenfranchise legit voters based on party affiliation) and any thing that makes voting simple and easy, like enough polling stations, early voting, mail-in voting, giving water to those waiting in line, use armed intimidators, etc.

Bingo. It's independence from the broligarchs and should be encouraged everywhere.

When Cheney invited his fellow oil and gas CEOs to a private White House meeting to divvy up the Iraqi oilfields, they at least had to do it in secret. Now they shout it from the rooftops about Venezuela. Stark, raving madhouse today. Zero accountability from our complicit DOJ.

Twitter accounts are based in Russia. BlueSky accounts are based in homes with, frankly, too many books, plants, obsolete cables, and pieces of rustic pottery, that could do with a bit of a tidying up, to be honest.

It’s crazy to think about the crimes we’re going to learn about after this regime ends.

We’re already hearing about Watergate level crimes every week. Imagine what will come out after it’s over.

We’re going to need a full accounting of all that’s been done in violation of the constitution.

β€œI’ve known Jeff for 15 years. Terrific guy,” Trump told New York magazine in 2002. β€œHe’s a lot of fun to be with. It is even said that he likes beautiful women as much as I do, and many of them are on the younger side.”

reminder that Donald Trump said on the record that he partied with his buddy Jeffrey Epstein and women β€œon the younger side” and yet we’re pretending like the natural of their relationship is some big mystery

Need jail time if they broke the law. Sure they would get a presidential pardon, but crucial to send the message we are still (nominally) under the rule of law.

In the Bush 2 trainwreck, they greased the wheels to today's
Trump regime.
60% of Bush's nominated judges came from the worst-performing "Christian" law schools, as measured by their success rates at passing bar exams. Led directly to our many compromised, incompetent "Christian" judges today.

Most of us have no idea how bad it is inside ICE detention centers because they have kept it hidden. Then a truth teller shows up and says it plain.

The conditions are filthy. The treatment is inhumane. The abuse is Systematic and routine.

it is almost as if accommodating and conceding to far right ideas legitimizes them and signals to voters that the far right is a legitimate choice for governance

For all of this, from this raid to the forced sterilization of women in detainment, we need to substitute β€œVenezuelans” and β€œimmigrants”, etc with β€œJews” to get people to wake up to what’s occurring. Sadly, I don’t think it would make much difference.

Why does Trump need to support the House vote to release the Epstein files? Can't he just order their release himself?

Ah the good old days when at least 1/3 of Republicans still had a moral compass. 1/3 of Republican senators were going to vote for Nixon's impeachment for ordering a break-in, so Nixon resigned. Zero senators would vote to convict Trump today, altho Trump's crimes make Nixon's look like jaywalking.

Hmm, no statement against the damage caused by pedophiles by these "good" bishops? The Catholic faith aids and abets serial abusers, 4000 new victims of priests and staff in Italy just in the last few years.
