It’s true. We shouldn’t pretend that. Trumpist culture is not the same as American culture and not equal. Trumpist culture is proudly ignorant, defiantly against America’s founding values and subsequently developed values, venomously bigoted, and generally despicable.

Need one of those jobs where, if I am a huge failure, they pay me $50 million to leave. CEO, football coach. I'll do any of 'em just to get fired.

I’d be nice to know first if these people are even drug traffickers. Unlike the former President of Honduras who we know was a drug trafficker and rather than have him suffer in prison, Trump pardoned him.

Normally the creators of beloved children’s cartoon characters would not need to disavow the U.S. Secretary of Defense, but ours is a drunken miscreant, a loutish boor with the dignity and nobility of a counterfeit butt-plug

The same people who i used to fight with in the GOP, who wanted to withdraw American troops from everywhere, are now the ones justifying the murder of two survivors.

It’s almost like…. It was never about that

Kelly: He runs around on stage talking about lethality and the warrior ethos.. That’s not the message that should be coming from the Secretary of Defense… He runs around on a stage like he’s a 12 year old playing army. It’s embarrassing.

There are specific reasons Trumpists want war on Venezuela, but thereβ€˜s a generic one: they crave power to make war on anyone, any time, for completely fabricated reasons, and then to use the guise of war to increase violence and repression everywhere, including home.

They are lawless bestial scum.

Every other Commander In Chief in U.S. history:
β€œThe most difficult decision any President faces is the decision to send American soldiers off to war.”

Trump:
β€œHow many do I need to send to Venezuela to get people to stop talking about Epstein? Let’s send twice that number!”

The war will end when Russia stops fighting. Therefore, pressure has to be put on Russia, so that they stop believing that they will win. Why is that so hard to understand?

Everyone is looking for someone to blame for the DC National Guard shooting. Instead of that wasted energy, we should be asking the question nobody is asking, how did the shooter get his guns? What can we do as a country to make gun violence less likely?

Watch some man on the street interviews with Russians. The people get the government they deserve. They have a superiority complex and believe whatever they’re told by their dictator.

Apparently it’s a crime to remind military members to follow the law and refuse illegal orders (something that it is ingrained in basic) and the pentagon can recall you into the service to discipline you. However, the pentagon will not prosecute you for dodging the draft five times.

Trump’s special envoy Steve Witkoff isn’t working for the US, or for humanity. He’s working for Vladimir Putin. www.bloomberg.com/news/article...

There are family I grew up with that I literally don’t have any connection with anymore. I don’t spend any time with MAGA family members. It’s sad but hey, they chose Trump over family.

Appealing the dismissal instead of re-indicting is a way to kick the can down the road and avoid a lot of short-term humiliation over the other flaws in the case.

This is not just a current political issue. Charging & punishing these particular perpetrators is vital to keeping the fight against the ongoing abuse & killing of women & children by men in the spotlight. "Me Too" was only a start.

DOJ Tries To Undo Damage of Its β€˜Ham-Fisted’ Letter in Texas Gerrymander Case Read more here.

The U.S. Department of Justice filed an amicus brief Monday supporting Texas’ gerrymandered congressional map, boldly claiming that the much-maligned letter it sent urging state leaders to redistrict was not, in fact, the reason why Texas redrew its map immediately after receiving the letter.

I may need to move back to LA for a rest. Not nearly as much going on in LA and you have to drive 2 hours to get to anything. Chicago is kicking my ass.

With his ultimatum that Ukraine surrender to Russia, Trump finally wins a prize:
The Neville Chamberlain award for betraying peace, freedom, and justice.
