Former President Donald Trump did not bring the World Cup or the Olympics to the United States. The bidding and selection processes for both events occurred during his first term in office, but they were organized by sporting federations, not by the president.

Stoke fear. Exploit desperation. Suspend the rule of law. Fan brutality.

Every time the stronger brutalize the weak, it’s fundamentally the same playbook.

Our duty is to stand up to brutality.

Our moral obligation is to protect the vulnerable and hold the powerful accountable.

Liar.

181. Courts and Domestic Use of the Military In response to adverse judicial rulings, the President's advisers and supporters are claiming courts lack the power to halt domestic use of the military. A critical early precedent is to the contrary.

In light of Judge Immergut's ruling, there's a lot of noise today coming from the President's advisers and supporters about courts not having the power to provide prospective relief against domestic uses of the military.

Via "One First," me on the rather significant early precedent to the contrary:

Thiel and Curtis Yarvin want to reduce the population of the USA to under 100 million people. They will do all they can to bring the population down. Those left over will be their workforce. This is exactly want they want.

How beautiful.

Perhaps students were not adequately prepared. Currently, our high school graduates are prepared to a 6th grade level of writing, reading and math. The military forces new recruits to seek tutoring to raise their competency to the 6th grade level which is minimum for basic training.

Save the date: On Oct. 8, Reps. Ro Khanna, Thomas Massie, and Marjorie Taylor Greene will hold a press conference — joined by survivors of Jeffrey Epstein's abuse — to discuss the discharge petition to force a vote on Khanna and Massie's bill, the Epstein Files Transparency Act.

Recently I learned that civil servants have the First Amendment-protected right to speak out on matters of public concern.

Thurgood Marshall, in an 8-1 SCOTUS decision, noted that government employees know how the gov’t works, and the public has a special interest in hearing from them.

Good day sir, I would like to share a pertinent post about the Democratic Party ‘Not’ be the party responsible for the pending government shutdown. Pls read this open post about the liabilities in doing so:

The Pathological Chess Game Pathological Abuse | The Game You Never Knew You Were Playing

Whether behind closed doors in intimate relationships (Pathological Partner Abuse, PPA) or on a societal level (Pathological Societal Abuse, PSA), these abusers play a game most people don’t even realize they are part of—until they are losing.

WATCH: Here’s where Netanyahu says the purchase of TIKTOK is important so Israel can “battle” for public opinion 🤔

(Sure sounds like they plan to manipulate the algorithm, with the help of the Trump allies buying it — and sounds like Elon is helping them too)

Gheesh.

This is a key point: We need to recognize how dangerous, how precarious this moment is - but without perpetuating the Trumpists' assertions of strength and dominance.

The gap between their authoritarian aspirations and the reality of American society remains vast. That's where the counter happens.

but wait — MAGA isn’t finished persecuting trans people. “President Trump told me this morning, Kirk assassin has a trans gf.” oh, okay. Donny Convict told this dude that Fuckface the Assassin has a trans girlfriend. Donny, that well-known expert in identifying who is trans. here’s what seems to be source of this latest hit-job against the trans community. “The ‘evidence’ the tabloid media has of the claim that the alleged shooter’s alleged roommate is allegedly transgender is two-year-old TikTok video where the roommate used a filter to look like a female anime character. Trash media is trash.” dude looks like a lady, he’s got to be trans, right? it’s not like anyone’s ever crossed-dressed for a laugh. I mean, you’d never catch someone like Vice President Couchfuck McGee clowning around and putting on makeup, a wig and a skirt. but let’s suppose that this is true, that Fuckface the Assassin’s roommate is trans. so fucking what? it changes nothing about the basic fact of the case, which is that some extreme right-wing nutcase went after some other extreme right-wing nutcase because of a basic disagreement over the right way to be an extreme right-wing nutcase.

MANY READERS, BIG, STRONG, TEARS IN THEIR EYES, ARE SAYING TO ME, "SIR! SIR! NO ONE HAS EVER EXPLAINED CHARLIE KIRK'S MURDER IN AS TREMENDOUS AND POWERFUL A WAY BEFORE! SIR! HOW DO YOU DO IT, SIR!" THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO MY LATEST POST IN WHICH I ANSWER EVERYTHING. LINK: bit.ly/4n2Wy67

Never to return.

Remember his father lived to 93
years old. Even after his stroke. The Drumpf family members lived to be quite old.
Also, he has his food cooked and served to him. No hamburgers, or fries like he wants you to think.

Dr. James E. Hansen
testified before Congress in 1988

Hansen was director of NASA's Goddard Institute

presented clear evidence that the greenhouse
effect was causing detectable climate change,

stating that "the greenhouse effect is here"
& 1988 was likely to be the warmest year on record

Trump Is Our True National Emergency When the president claims everything is a national emergency, so that he can do whatever he wants, the courts need to regard that as the real emergency.

If Trump keeps declaring emergencies—and, of course, he will—the best response may be for protesters to create an emergency of their own through the expansion of nonviolent public protest.

Vain empty words
Of honour, glory, and immortal fame,
Can these recall the spirit from its place,
Or re-inspire the breathless clay with life?
What tho' your fame with all its thousand trumpets,
Sound o'er the sepulchres, will that awake
The sleeping dead. —Sewell.
