I'm not sure which is worse.

Either way, the Republicans cowering before threats from Trump and Trumps's goons are not worthy of public office.

Grow a pair!

I used to think Republicans fell in line because they feared Trump would attack them in a primary election. Now, I realize it's much worse. They are physically afraid of Trump's supporters and the risk of violence.

WAPO EDITORIAL BOARD: “.. This suit confirms that American businesses pay American tariffs. .. And Costco’s suit is one of many that will be filed as the .. businesses robbed by the president seek their just recompense.”

Sovereign citizens are an outgrowth of the same thing. "If a legal document doesn't write my name with special punctuation, it doesn't count." When they're losing, they invent imaginary new rules and say the opposition is invalid for their failure to adhere to those new rules (which then vanish).

"Biden's use of an autopen means anything he authorized is null and void" is an expansion of a tactic long used by Republicans: something a Democratic president did is bad because they didn't do a crucial, special thing that was just now invented. Flag pin, suit color, fringe-less flag, whatever.

This works for Republicans in part because major media outlets pretend that these rules could be valid, so the public thinks "hey, there's a dispute, it's unclear." It's been hours, and the Times doesn't appear to have yet deemed it newsworthy that Trump says everything Biden did is null and void.

Trump can stay awake only long enough to pardon drug traffickers, murderers, and fraud thugs.

The way we live now - Lawyers, Guns & Money So much has gotten so “normalized” that we may be missing the extent to which Trump is having some sort of quite possibly dementia-related breakdown: President Donald Trump went on a bizarre Truth Soc...

The whole thing raises extremely exigent questions about who has access to Trump’s Truth Social account, and whether Trump is falling asleep in the middle of the day because he is engaged in these manic episodes in the middle of the night www.lawyersgunsmoneyblog.com/2025/12/the-...

This is the story of another guy indicted in the Southern District of New York, who Trump just pardoned. One of Trump's personal lawyers and appointee was even part of the prosecution! donmoynihan.substack.com/p/pardon-the...

When you ask how Germans became immune to the horrors of Nazism during the 30s, remember that this is now 2025 and this crap is being said in the greatest democracy on the planet.

Robert Reich What Trump’s Tyranny Is Revealing to America

The brutality. The corruption. The lies. Everything is on full display — and many Americans are beginning to learn an important lesson. Watch. https://www.youtube.com/shorts/a01JFFB_aE4

To reiterate, we’re talking a D+19 shift in TENNESSEE, a state which Trump won by almost 30 points A YEAR AGO

(last year Trump won CD-07 by 22 points and scandal-plagued Mark Green won CD-07 by 21.5 points)

Were this 17-point swing to occur uniformly in every Congressional district as now drawn, the result would be approximately 264 D seats, 171 R seats, a 51-seat shift. TX gerrymandering gains would be limited to 2 seats; NC/MO, backfire.

Not to say this will happen, just to illustrate the impact.

TN07 is a story about gerrymandering: the GOP cracked Nashville into 3 districts when it redrew the 2022 map, destroying the Dem seat there.

Fast-forward: a section of Nashville, which just 5 years ago had a Dem representative, is now voting Dem by huge margins but it's been designed to not matter.

Trump Admin Lawyers Now Warn Boat Strike May Be Illegal, as Hegseth Passes the Buck ‘If the Washington Post is right, then a crime was committed,’ a Trump admin lawyer tells Zeteo, as Pete Hegseth tries to pass the buck.

NEWS: After taking credit for many already legally-iffy strikes, Pete Hegseth is now hiding away from a reported double-tap strike.

Why? Well, per sources, even Trump admin lawyers are now warning higher-ups: the strike may have been blatantly illegal.
@swin24.bsky.social @andrewperez.bsky.social

Woah. Newsmax’s legal analyst just said Pete Hegseth and everyone involved in the illegal boat strike should be “prosecuted for a war crime.”

They’ve even lost Newsmax on this one.

Wow.

"It gives me no pleasure to say what I’m about to say because I worked with Pete Hegseth for seven or eight years at Fox News. This is an act of a war crime .... There’s absolutely no legal basis for it.”

Trump appears to doze off in another meeting It was the second time in a month Trump has appeared to struggle to stay awake as his advisers have spoken to cameras about the administration’s initiatives.

Seems like Republicans win TN-7 at end of day

Dems will have a big over performance

GOP will be happy to avoid another loss after results last month

Still all 435 seats will be up next year

And plenty more Trump seats less red than the one tonight

Plausibility, also known as truthiness, probably is really more important and valuable than truth or falsity in the context of mass communications in a complex world.

The cult loves to excuse Trump from the Epstein files by saying he threw Jeffrey Epstein out of Mar-a-Lago.
And maybe he did, but it was after a long 15 year long friendship.
That doesn’t negate a 15 years long relationship and their “fondness” for girls on the younger side.

My observation here in the south is many of the maga woman are primed for patriarchal rule through the churches.

Few movements in Western democracies have waged war on women as relentlessly as MAGA has in the US.

They're a coalition of incels, patriarchal conservatives & religious fundamentalists led by a man accused of sexual abuse by dozens of women.

The Trump Administration are violent, toxic misogynists.

RFK Jr: "Two weeks ago we ended, under your leadership, a twenty year war on women".

Three out of five men in this shot have been accused of sexual misconduct, harassment or abusive behaviour towards women. A fourth signed into law a near-total abortion ban in his state as governor.

Trump on pardoning the former president of Honduras: "That was a Biden horrible witch hunt. A lot of people in Honduras asked me to do that & I did it. I feel very good about it. If you have some drug dealers in your country and you're the president, you don't necessarily put the president in jail"

German army chief says contact with US military cut off by Pentagon Lieutenant General Christian Freuding fears the longstanding military partnership between the two allies is unravelling under President Trump’s administration

Trump is systematically shutting down high level military contacts between US commanders and their senior NATO counterparts, just as he is bolstering connections with Russia. www.thetimes.com/world/europe...
