"There's a reason you separate military and the police. One fights the enemies of the state, the other serves and protects the people. When the military becomes both, then the enemies of the state tend to become the people."
- Commander William Adama, Battlestar Galactica

It's 2015. President Barack Obama has accepted a "sky palace" jumbo jet from the Qatari government, which he'll own after he leaves office. "Everybody relax," he says in an interview with the New York Times. Everyone does. The networks then televise the military parade in his honor on his birthday.

Could you imagine the response if a democratic president said they didn’t know if they had to uphold the Constitution?

How fast would the articles of impeachment be drawn ?

20 minutes at the most

How many times does a *president* have to disregard SCOTUS, the Constitution & Federal Judges before the 25th Amendment can be invoked?

If you didn’t watch the State of the Union last night, just watch this. Guaranteed—Trump’s followers ate it up, so be ready with the facts when it spreads.

Rachel Maddow ran a clinic on Trump’s lies last night.

MAGA Mike Johnson said on Fox News that he would not tolerate such "shameful" behavior on the House floor and that Mr. Green's attacks violated the body’s rules on decorum. Funny how only Democrats are supposed to abide by the rules of decorum. Photo of Lauren Boebert and Marjorie Taylor Greene acting out at Biden’s SOTU address.

Holy shit! In plain sight…

I said this a lot in 2016, and want to re-up it:

Dear Republicans, I know you like this dude, but for 1 second contemplate this:

If he were working for Putin, what would he do differently?

Not 1 damn thing...so...

Now, use the tiny little brain you were born with and put 2 & 2 together!

RUSSIAN MISSILES ARE POURING IN ON CIVILIAN AREAS ALL OVER UKRAINE TODAY. AND THERE IS NO INTEL TO STOP THEM BECAUSE TRUMP CUT IT OFF. TRUMP IS LITERALLY HELPING PUTIN MASSACRE INNOCENT UKRAINIANS! OCCUPY DEMOCRATS @WARMONITOR3

As Russia escalates its brutal assault on Ukraine, innocent civilians are being killed, their homes destroyed, and entire communities left in ruins. Yet, instead of standing firmly with Ukraine, Trump has continuously undermined support for the country, signaling alignment with Putin’s interests.

YouTube video by VoteVets 30-Year Veteran Fired as Trump & Elon Musk Gut the VA—83,000 Jobs on the Line

🚨 INFURIATING: Trump & Elon Musk are gutting the VA, firing Veterans, and sabotaging their care.

Jammie Mosser served this country for 30 years. He took a job helping fellow Veterans—then got kicked to the curb after just one month.

Now they want to axe up to 83,000 more.

Please listen and share—this is a very serious situation. This is extremely alarming! The Trump administration, across two agencies, is considering bringing criminal charges against employees simply for doing their jobs.

AARP Urges Outreach to Congress to Protect Social Security Older Americans continue to raise concerns about payments, customer service

AARP has created an easy way to contact your lawmakers and tell them Social Security must be protected. Learn more.👇

The Department of Justice

You know-the people whose job it is to preserve the rule of law and ensure that our Constitutional rights are protected

Is going to fire any employees who exercised their 1st Amendment rights

And replace them with Trump loyalists

Because that’s how you stage a coup

What he said about Social Security payments has been repeatedly debunked - so the question isn’t whether he’s lying about this, the question is why.

What is this a pretext for? He and the GOP have long shown interest in going after Social Security. What are they going to try?

If you only watch one video today, let it be this one.

And since Little Marco doesn’t want us to remember this, please repost it so others can see what a raging hypocrite he is.

The researchers collected their first data in October 2023 and March 2024. Initially, they were struck by how inconsistently Google showed its warnings. A deep learning model they built to analyze the queries suggested that the warnings should have appeared between 29 and 58 times as often as they did in practice. For motivated conspiracy peddlers, they were easy to evade: just adding quotation marks or a single letter to a query was typically enough to make the banner disappear. The researchers were beginning to collect additional data last September when they discovered something unexpected: Google had stopped showing low-quality banners entirely, weeks before early voting began, without disclosing it.

NEW: Google used to warn you when you were seeing low-quality search results. Then, in the weeks leading up to the 2024 election, the company quietly turned that warning off www.platformer.news/google-data-...

'Burn it all down': George Conway issues blistering takedown of Trump and GOP’s core belief Now that President Donald Trump's second term is in its second month, conservative attorney George Conway is arguing that his central guiding philosophy — along with that of his supporters in the GOP ...

“During a Tuesday interview on MSNBC, …Conway opined that Republicans ‘just want to burn it all down. … It is an attempt to destroy what they perceive to be as the enemy, which is the very government that they are charged with administering.’”

He is admitting that he doesn’t want lawyers to stop him from breaking the law. No one would stop him from issuing lawful orders, so this has to be about unlawful ones.

It's so sad that they went with "Third Term" when "Third Reich" was right there waiting for them.

👀 NEW: the current under secretary of State for Management, Ambassador Tibor Nagy, has sent an email regarding OPM's request for five accomplishments: "No employee is obligated to report their activities outside of their department chain of command."

This is the most dangerous move yet The canary is gasping for air

Last night's Pentagon massacre is much more than realized. Not just firing the black CJCS and first woman CNO but all the senior JAG officers and hiring a man who just joined 3 different crypto firms tied to Kushner and Thiel as Chairman. I did a deep dive into it open.substack.com/pub/fpwellma...

In reality the US has only given $30 billion to Ukraine, the monetary worth of the weapons and nukes Ukraine gave up based on the legal agreement that the US would protect it from aggression is nearly $50 billion. The US failed abide the agreement and owes Ukraine money, not the other way around.
