Oh, no, that only applies in a proper nation with a rule of law.

We're not that. Not any longer.

"American Christianity and the Orange Calf"

Been looking for a pithy turn of phrase to succinctly describe what has happened.

This'll do nicely, thank you.

Sadly, I think this was a cynical calculation in the Dem leadership decision to end the shutdown with nothing gained.

And yes, it was the Dem leadership's decision. The six that pulled the trigger were just the tools to conceal it.

The fake "Its because of AI" lies died down pretty quickly.

Ie. Yankee Candle just announced store closures and layoffs of hundreds of people, 10% of its professional and clerical workforce just before the holidays with a stark "Oh, yeah, its because of the tariffs."

Trump administration is ‘selling out’ admiral to shield Hegseth over boat strikes, officials say White House names Adm Frank M Bradley as officer who ‘directed the engagement’, distancing Hegseth from accountability

How it started:

Trump and the White House decry as seditious lawmakers telling members of the military not to follow unlawful orders.

How it's going:

But we were SO desperate to see our superheroes on screen that we didn't miss an episode.

Challenge of the Superfriends was a huge leap forward, but was still lame.

Because some of us are political junkies who also love seeing what others have to say about comic books.

I'm also likely to look into people's posts on Android, history, Kobo readers, sci-fi and a bunch of other stuff. We're versatile. 😉

He said she believed they should be there for the crime problem in DC.

Then, when the Guard troops were assaulted, they had to call actual police, making her wonder why the Guard was even there.

Yeah, exactly. Because she was a SOLDIER. She didn't have a purpose there.

She died because of this.

Oh THAT was the line?

Making fun of handicapped people, bragging about sexual assault, calling female reporters pigs, telling supporters to assault protesters, extorting Ukraine, taking bribes from... everyone, real estate fraud and ad infinitum...

None of THAT was enough but THIS is the line?

Its no secret that her marriage and her participation as the First Lady is negotiated at each stage, as needed.

Bezos clearly agreed to pick up the bill for her participation this term in exchange for good grace from the notoriously transactional guy now in charge of the anti-trust regulators.

"recreating the failures and terrors of their homelands."

Yeah, um, have they SEEN the United States lately...?

Yeah...weak troll is weak.

And, and this is the important part, are brave enough to speak truth to power.

He, himself a coward, is relying on the press corp being as cowed as they have been. He's repeatedly been shown to lose his composure when he's faced with those that won't be.

Hear, hear.

I've learned not to trust anyone that has a Bible on display.

Of course he did.

Read your 1984.

You can't convince people 'War is Peace' if your own government is publishing data to the contrary.

Oh, you're a silly troll.

Noted. Thanks.

They didn't tell them to disobey his orders.

They told them to disobey ILLEGAL orders.

He's literally telling on himself here, folks.

Superhero named Justice

Way too much time has been spent "trying to understand what they are saying...truly HEAR them"

Screw that. Turns out they're just idiots. Time to laugh, publicly at them for voting to lose their rural hospitals, their farms, their medical insurance, affordable food.

They did this. They are fools.

You are clearly my people.

WHAT?

Usenet and torrents are still out there for anyone that wants to use them. 😊

They were cheap back in the day too. Like $30-$40 I think.

Incredible value, loved mine.

And you didn't need an Apple account or its software to load it. Just download or rip an mp3, plug the Sansa or its microSD into your PC and go.

Y'know, I'd be really interested to hear former US Attorney General Merrick Garland's thoughts on the legacy of British Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain.

Trump: Democrats' message to troops seditious behavior, punishable by death Trump's comments came after a group of Democrats urged US service members to refuse unlawful commands.

"An example MUST BE SET"

"SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, punishable by DEATH!"

"HANG THEM GEORGE WASHINGTON WOULD !!"

-Trump 11/20/2025

"Will no one rid me of this meddlesome priest?"

-King Henry II 12/25/1170

Make no mistake. He knows what he's doing here. This is just the latest step toward his coup.

"I think I can save her"
