Colonel Grump

A French lemonade from 1651

"We're all throwing dildos at women athletes to promote our memecoin" really puts a fine point on not just how sexist, mean and stupid so much of right now is, but also the grim degree to which we're just inundated with Stuff a 15-Year-Old Dipshit Would Think is Cool. A confederacy of Beavises.

This is complete fantasy. Just an absurd made up lie. The EU is not giving Trump “$600 billion to invest anyway I want.” They aren’t giving him 1 dollar to invest. It is just astonishing that a president can go on a financial network and lie like this & it barely registers. bsky.app/profile/atru...

The fact that Republicans are unfazed that Donald Trump is giving special treatment to a woman who ran this country’s most notorious pedophile ring on behalf of its most notorious serial pedophile is the latest sign of the GOP’s complete moral rot.

Before you see a hundred or so posts saying that Texas has issued arrest warrants for the absent Dem legislators, you should be aware that they are civil warrants issued by the House that are not effective outside the state

A disconcerting number of high status people upended their worldviews because other people did not affirm that status in the way they thought appropriate.
And social media accelerated this because for high status people it is often the experience of people telling you that you are wrong.

Trump allegedly discussed US nuclear subs with foreign national after leaving White House: Sources Months after leaving office, former President Trump allegedly discussed potentially sensitive info about U.S. nuclear subs with an Australian billionaire, say sources.

Speaking of Trump and US nuclear submarines: In April 2021 at Mar-a-Lago, Trump told Australian billionaire Anthony Pratt “the supposed exact number of nuclear warheads [Trident submarines] routinely carry, and exactly how close they supposedly can get to a Russian submarine without being detected.”

Not With a Bang, but With a Truth Social Post The president is rattling a nuclear saber as a distraction.

Trump has initiated a new era in which the chief executive can use threats regarding the most powerful weapons on Earth to salve his ego and improve his political fortunes. Once upon a time, America was governed by serious people. No longer.

Sure seems like the President of the United States is going to pardon a convicted sex trafficker and serial abuser who ran a pedophilia ring with his best friend in the whole wide world.

Erasing history. Another characteristic of autocrats and dictators.

I grew up in central Pennsylvania coal country in the 1970s and 80s and I remember how my small town had more than one oxygen supply store because so many of my schoolmates’ grandpas were slowly dying in their living rooms from black lung.

Au Salvador, une réforme constitutionnelle permet à Nayib Bukele de briguer un nombre illimité de mandats présidentiels Le Parlement, dominé de façon écrasante par les partisans du chef de l’Etat, a aussi approuvé l’abolition du second tour de scrutin et l’allongement du mandat présidentiel de cinq à six ans.

Russia bombed Kyiv overnight, killing at least 8, including a 6-year-old boy, and injuring 82. Among the wounded were 10 children, the youngest just 5 months old.

Putin keeps bombing Ukraine because Trump lets him.

Lalande, you hot stud. I love you.

Why is it acceptable for the president to use taxpayer money to fly overseas and cut a ribbon at his own golf course?

Don’t normalize this abuse of office. It’s blatant corruption.

From her transphobic rants to her ravings about „alligator Alcatraz“ („Dear DHS: We’ve got a swamp and a dream. Let’s talk. South Carolina's gators are ready. And they’re not big on paperwork. If I was Governor, we'd be bringing Alligator Alcatraz to SC.“) to this - cruelty as a political brand

Zelenskyy says at least 22 people killed in Russian attacks on Ukraine, hours after Trump put pressure on Moscow – Europe live At least 85 people injured in overnight attacks after Trump said he will shorten the deadline for reaching an agreement on a ceasefire to ‘10-12 days’ Ukrainian president Volodymyr Zelenskyy has just confirmed that at least 22 people were killed, and 85 injured in attacks targeting 73 Ukrainian cities and villages overnight, just hours after “everyone once again felt hope for an end to the killings.” He described some of the attacks in more detail, including a strike on a city hospital in Kamianske which killed three, including a pregnant 23-year-old woman, and a “deliberate” attack on a civilian penal colony in Zaporizhia. Every murder of our people by the Russians; every Russian strike, when there could have been a ceasefire long ago, if Russia had not refused – all this shows that Moscow deserves very tough, truly painful, and therefore fair and effective sanctions pressure. They must be forced to stop the killings and make peace. Peace is possible, but only when Russia stops the war that it started and stops tormenting our people. Continue reading...

This is the guy who negotiated a corrupt quid pro quo with Eric Adams and forced the resignation of the lawyers who protested. He is a criminal and has demonstrably shown he has no concern for the rule of law, and will break any rule to advance Trump. Installing him to the judiciary is a crisis.
