thinking about how biden could have done this but chose not to

these fucks in the white house want to stop venezualans from coming to the US

venezuala's per capita gdp has fallen by three quarters over the last decade and as a result emigration has dramatically increased

what do they think will happen when they bomb venezuala into being a failed state?

reflexively shuddered in revulsion at the first sentence realizing you had to actually talk to the guy for this piece

NEW: The Trump administration has blocked or slowed almost $28 billion in federal aid since the shutdown began, largely harming Democratic-led cities, congressional districts and states, underscoring how the president has weaponized a fiscal stalemate

My vote in the 2028 D primary for POTUS will hinge almost entirely on the % of this Administration they promise to imprison

hegseth maximizing his battlefield lethality by going online to place an order for two of these and a roll of duct tape

The servicemembers who are conducting these strikes need to be told, explicitly, by Dems in Congress that they have criminal liability, because they do

bush the younger weaponized the DOJ to gin up cases to attack elected dems! it’s the exact same stuff trump is doing except in the ‘00s the media treated it as an enormous scandal and the attorney general was forced to resign in disgrace

the real plan all along

ICE is an irredeemable agency

its agents must be purged, the organization disbanded, and the earth salted beneath it

neal stephenson saying, "i warned ya dawg"

incredible use of the passive exonerative tense

She's not being rewarded despite printing lies in the newspaper, she's being rewarded because she printed lies in the newspaper.

we're gonna have to tax these oil tycoons into poverty just to pay for the all the zillion dollar lawsuits the government is going to have to settle on account of all the crimes which the trump administration they funded has perpetrated

the president ordered people murdered *today*

has a single democrat in congress called for impeachment in response?

it must be awesome being a senate democrat. imagine living in the eternal present, unbothered by the knowledge that everything has gotten so much worse and unable to comprehend that your own inaction & capitulation to fascists is dooming tens of millions to poverty & death

all the biggest assholes you can imagine are gonna be on the same boat and oh by the way the president now exercises the power to murder anyone who happens to be in international waters

It’s almost like billionaires and strong vibrant institutions of civil society can’t coexist

The NY young republican who said that rape is "epic" looks like a fuckin ventriloquist dummy

This is yet another reminder that the "you can just walk around with your papers and be fine!" is a lie: the cops routinely claim whatever documentation you provide is invalid

It's racism all the way down

janet mills is so old that her husband died of a stroke more than a decade ago

a 1,000 dishonorable ICE savages rotting in Joliet will not be the final act of the Khan's cleansing of the Land of Lincoln & beyond

rather, the war against the tyrants & their lackeys will be waged with unyielding determination till their movement is crushed & their resolve is irreparably broken

as always the democratic party seeks balance (being equally annoyed by left wing posters as they are by the neo-nazis taking over the republican party)

it's good that a mainstream site like politico is reporting on how the median GOP staffer is a racist misogynist who openly admires hitler

but it's bad that the Very Serious People in politics & media have been ignoring this for years despite constant shouted warnings from the left

Ditto Border Patrol. Terminate all the guys who had guns, start over from scratch. Totally between the two is under 10,000. It’s structurally doable.

Then go thru the desk ppl after that.

Gotta think this helps justify a future Dem administration’s decision to essentially terminate ICE and redesign from the bottom up.

The enforcement arm of ICE (ERO) has generally had ~3,500 ppl.

A President could easily fire the entirety of ERO and temp nationalize some Nat Guard to fill in.

Fritz Lang's "M" is a killer movie about 1930s germany, that's the movie to watch if you want to see how a society turned itself fascist out of fear

i think a lot about how when israel was bombing gaza in 2021 biden made a phone call to netanyahu telling him it needed to stop and by the end of the call bibi was agreeing to a ceasefire

remembering how mad the right got when biden gave a speech with some red lights in the background
