It’s not “incompetent” for the Executive Branch to stay away from telling the Justice Department who they should or shouldn’t prosecute. It IS, however, incompetent to allow someone who would do that to proceed to the Presidency, especially when you have 80 witnesses lined up. See: Merrick Garland.

The chronically misinformed and willfully ignorant would NEVER question the hand that feeds them their daily dose of bullshit. There is way to write laws to protect the 1st Amendment while suppressing information designed to topple the nation into lawlessness. Try German Basic Law, Section 9.

The Epstein files were under lock and key at the Justice Department, an independent agency not [normally] subject to getting their independence violated. Most of the evidence driving the conversation now isn’t coming from Justice. The Epstein estate is releasing the most damning tidbits.

Ah, yes. Federal law, specifically 18 U.S. Code § 592, states that any officer or member of the armed forces who orders or brings troops to a polling place can face severe penalties. So, how will that be enforced? State Police may be the only option since the Marshals are captured by the regime.

There is be work to be done if that’s what happens, starting with removing the most egregious avenues of abuse which allowed the billionaire and Christofascist evangelist led shadow government to gain control, and defining new sections of constitutional law to make sure this never recurs.

A little over 200 million testing how firmly all avenues of recourse have been sealed off. These is scant hope in some upcoming elections which may force a transition from carrying cardboard signs to dragging these treasonweasels out of their beds one night and decorating the lamp posts with them.

Excellent list. All these pieces have been present but have largely kept to themselves until now. The dehumanizing elements have come and gone several times to the point of breakage, but this is the most severe outside of the last Civil War. This revanchist shithead coup regime will also end.

This isn’t the U.S. It’s the work of maybe 800-1,000 people who have taken over all the levers of power with no recourse to take it back. It’s going to take a lot more fire in the belly to undo this nightmare, but this tyranny will end like all others in history; suddenly and permanently.

Here’s a guy with a lifestyle that 99.6% of the world can only dream of, yet he’s so angry all the time. Something is seriously wrong with him. He’s eating himself up from the inside out and might blow an O-ring one day.

Absolutely true, and mostly a matter of information control. Fox Nooz has programmed people for 38 years to have an automatic visceral reaction to stimuli they pump out thousands of times every news cycle. Repetition and outrage got us here. Say “Pelosi” and watch them scream with no idea why.

That said, there is a direct line from the proto-confederates of the 1830s-1860s, through the civil war, through the first and second wave of the KKK, and through Nixon’s Southern Strategy Republican makeover. The Knights of the Golden Circle are back, modernized, and picking up where they left off.

All true. Trump is a symptom of the current conditions, not the cause. However, he is a catalyst as a willing chaos agent and useful idiot to those who ransack U.S. economic successes and capture all of it for themselves. It’s the billionaires who see all us little people as nothing but expense.

40% of the U.S. believe in the creationist view that someone made humans in the last 10,000 years, but about 10% (last seen from an NCSE study) think the earth itself is 6,000 years old. I guess I’ll root for a Rapture anyway so they all leave.

Military helicopter flew a pattern between medical facilities, churches, higher education schools, and cemeteries the morning of February 12, 2026.
Well, that’s interesting. A military helicopter flew over my house, so I watched it on ADS-B. Every deflection in its path went to a medical facility, a church, a major school, or a cemetery. It flew a circle around INOVA Fairfax and even doubled back to fly over a Mosque in Alexandria VA. Weird.

If any of that is true, it should be prosecuted. Put it on a court docket. But it’s peanuts compared to the grift and corruption this regime champions. I still want all the republicans who voted against COVID relief funds to pay back what they stole.
