THE Morton Crumley

Now if someone suggested that the same should happen to the current occupants of the White House for their very real crimes, that someone would be subject to arrest.

Bigots have nothing better to do than spread their hatred. They need to get stomped.

We're the USofA, dammit! We're assholes and we don't care who knows it! Our felons and bigots are the best in the world! That's why we don't punish them on the regular. In fact, we reward them. So some innocent people get abused and die. It's a small price to pay for such greatness.

Oh, yeah.

JD Vance's version of "history" is as genuine as his name.

The only way Americans could be more sheep like is if we were covered in wool. There are no indignities we will not suffer in a vain effort to maintain an illusion of normalcy. Oh, we'll complain, but ultimately do nothing. We prove it again and again.

I'd like to be proven wrong.

The rule of law is dead in the US.

Georgia prosecutor confirms final criminal case against Trump is ‘over’ State prosecutor dismisses charges against US president and others in election interference case

In the US, corruption is an institution.

If the US had a functioning legal and political system that is what would happen.
The only justice is that which the people are willing to dispense, but we do not seem to be disposed to do that.
We get what we allow.

Americans are fucking sheep.
The fucking part is an adjective, not a verb. In most cases, anyhow.

Rep. Jasmine Crockett has released receipts that reveal that ProPublica has reported that Kristi Noem secretly diverted hundreds of millions of dollars in Department of Homeland Security funds to a consulting firm affiliated with her own campaign.

The religious mindset, a mindset that trades on unquestioned authority and anti-critical thinking, opens people up to abuses such as this. Faith and blind obedience are not virtues, they are viruses that are often deadly.

This has been going on since the US was established. There is a symbiotic relationship between LEOs and politicians that allow this thuggery to go almost unchecked. The people have never demanded systemic accountability to any degree. And so it goes.

Death to tyrants.
That is all.

To everyone saying that people in our military already know not to follow unlawful orders, how do you explain almost 100 civilians murdered on fishing boats in the Caribbean so far?

U.S. Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses as hate symbols The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

Coast Guard will no longer classify swastikas, nooses, as hate symbols.

The fuck?

It does say much about this world, doesn't it.
Just one of the many many many reasons my brain cannot accept the existence of a deity.

This is the US now.
This is us now.
We need to own it, then we can tear it down.

No one can ever tell me that this is not who we are. Because it it wasn't, we'd be storming these concentration camps.

We need to stop wishing and start DOING.

The White House Intervened on Behalf of Accused Sex Trafficker Andrew Tate During a Federal Investigation Federal authorities were chided for seizing electronic devices from Tate and his brother, and told to return them, records and interviews show. Experts said the intervention was highly inappropriate.

NEW: The White House intervened on behalf of accused sex trafficker Andrew Tate during a federal investigation.

“It was so offensive to what we’re all here to do, to uphold the law and protect the American people,” one official involved said.

This would be a novel concept in the US. We love our rich, powerful criminals here, and have an entire infrastructure to enable and protect them.

Seems like a good day to remind everyone that Jared Kushner advised Saudi Crown Prince MBS on how to “weather the storm” after his hit squad slaughtered American journalist Jamal Khashoggi.

Here we have the US in a nutshell.
Masked US Nazi thugs illegally assault American citizens.
Other American citizens record this but stay hidden.
If we don't stop this, who will?

Yo, @support.bsky.team, bring back @sarahkendzior.bsky.social.

With the senate vote to re-open the government with absolutely no concessions from the Republicans, the Dem establishment has proven once again to be collaborators with fascism and traitors to the American people. This surrender came from the top and is supported by the others, make no mistake.

Haven't had one for decades.

Well, no kidding.
