Iran-Contra is extremely illuminating as a disanalogy. Iran-Contra was an attempt to do an end-run around Congress' prohibition on funding the Contras. Today, the Trump admin would just fund the Contras and dare anyone to try to enforce the law. bsky.app/profile/whst...

Jacoby was alone today and he busted his ass. Spraying every square inch of this place then scrubbed the outside of the house.

On our 6th month of a new pest control company, I’ve watched discreetly each month as they come service the house. Employees seems to be 1/3 white, 1/3 Latino, and 1/3 black. The black guys are the only ones who’ve done anything. The others have wandered around the property pretending to do stuff.

Add “knowing the answer” to this. The last 10 years of my life has been me knowing the answer and the outcome but having no control so I just have to watch everyone around me mess up in exactly the way I told them they’d mess up.

ICE is made up of men who have failed the human test and have nothing of value to offer this nation.
Adults with decency and options and possibilities don’t do this shit.

Whatever state you live in, if you vote for a Republican for governor, you’re voting to have your National Guard stolen.

It’s like NFL coaches. You can’t convince me that only the same 40 dudes are qualified to keep being rotated around the league.

Jeff Landry asking Trump’s permission to deploy Louisiana National Guard troops to New Orleans that he could have sent himself is the epitome of weird MAGA masculinity — powerful men earn social and political capital by by performatively debasing themselves for Trump’s benefit.

I keep seeing people dooming with "they're not acting like people who ever think they'll be out of power" and I keep thinking maybe, but they're also acting like they're terrified of what will happen to them when they do lose power.

If they quit with that kind of resistance, imagine what a well placed baseball bat would do to morale.

The play seems to be to resist while other people get them flustered and they’re winded in a minute and give up.
