β€œRemember in the first term when peaceful protesters were tear-gassed so Trump could do a photo op holding a Bible upside down in front of a church? Yeah, we got the guy from that church. Consider the past erased.”

It’s an administration of C students who can’t/won’t do the homework. And when they’ve got insider trading and β€œtotal immunity,” why should they?

It’s a choice to tell someone that they lie to you every time they’re on your show, but that you continue to invite them back.

Like culture posts on this app simply don’t get the engagement and I think it’s because people feel it’s frivolous and actually it’s the thing we are fighting for, the freedom to make culture and cultural works

War with Iran helps Netanyahu bc clinging to power as a β€œwartime PM” stalls his bribery and fraud trials, and his power depends on the support of violent racists.

For Trump it makes some donors happy and, he thinks, will rally people around him.

It doesn’t make Israel, or Jews, or the US safer.

Didn’t change their throw-in routine. 84 minutes of watching Dragusin hit the first defender in the box.

The Premier League’s return to long throw-ins is maddeningβ€”and a bit hilariousβ€”when your team’s long throw-in specialist can’t throw the ball very far.

I think that after failing to provoke β€œAntifa terror,” Trump is hoping to provoke Iran into some attack in the US, preferably in a β€œblue city,” that will justify sweeping emergency powers and some election suppression tbd.

The Iran bombing is solely a GOP choice, but that won’t stop some Democrats from being diabolically accommodating and astonishingly stupid.

Daschle Defends
Iraq Remarks
By Shery! Gay Stolberg
Sept. 20, 2004
WASHINGTON, Sept. 19 - In a fiery debate on national television, the Republican challenger to Tom Daschle, the Senate minority leader, accused Mr.
Daschle of emboldening America's enemies by criticizing President Bush on the eve of war in Iraq. Mr. Daschle promptly condemned the remark.
"His words embolden the enemy," the Republican, former Representative John Thune, said of Mr. Daschle, referring to the South Dakota senator's statement in 2003 that he was saddened that Mr. Bush had "failed so miserably at diplomacy that we're now forced to war."

The GOP is just expanding the imperial presidency of Rove/Cheney/Bush, which waged an illegal war by open-ended continuing resolutions and unconditional supplementary spending.

Could Democrats done more to stop it? Probably, but they did lots of rhetorical/procedural stuff and then lost elections.

Congratulations, USA. The party of weird Christians, sex criminals, racists, and war profiteersβ€”which we refuse to keep from powerβ€”has created another generation of people abroad who despise us.
