"Accepting the responsibilities of public service requires acknowledging when the time has come to pass the torch willingly, gracefully, and responsibly. To stubbornly refuse this is not merely personal vanity; it represents a direct affront to the public good."

I just love how a nation can come together to agree that "political violence is never, ever, acceptable" and then, hours later, watch the administration promise retribution because their buddy got convicted of an assassination plot.

What a fucking disgusting joke.

Charlie Kirk's body gets a personal escort home from the vice president.

Meanwhile, back in April, neither President Trump nor anyone else from the White House bothered traveling to Dover Air Force Base to greet the bodies of four fallen soldiers.

Just read it (I’m a few days behind). This is the best Jamboroo I’ve read. Thanks for publishing it, the first half had me in tears.

This week brought wins on all fronts: Catelin Drey flipped a Trump district in Iowa and broke the GOP’s supermajority in the state senate. A federal judge protected Kilmar Abrego Garcia from deportation. And yes, even β€˜Alligator Alcatraz’ is about to be empty. Not bad for one week.

These are the funeral honors the Air Force says it will extend to Ashli Babbitt The Air Force will extend military funeral honors to Ashli Babbitt, a veteran killed during the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

And more patriotism! So much patriotism!

How is anyone supposed to reasonably believe these people are law enforcement? They're masked, anyone can buy a CBP hat and a POLICE patch, and why would a real gov't agent wear insignia suggesting they're both federal border patrol AND state/local police? They're dressed like amateur carjackers.

Trump is tough on crime.

Also, Trump has moved sex trafficker Ghislaine Maxwell to a Club Fed where she can take yoga classes, play tennis, and is eligible for β€œwork” release.

We’ve fetishized combat now so much that we have no Ikes and it shows. Bureaucracy requires a different style of leadership same as combat: Patton would have been an absolute dogshit CSA or SAC (and that’s okay as long as you place people in spots that suit their strengths)

An eloquent image:

Setting aside the content under the tarp for a moment, teens were asked to make art expressing what it is like to be a teen, and the end result was a mural wrapped in a tarp by adults.

I bet a lot of teens would find this expressive of their experience.

When you hear stories of government agents refusing to show their badges, understand that a wave of imitation robberies and crimes will follow.

No name. No badge. No ID. No warrant. Face covered. That’s not an officer that’s an armed thug with government protection. If you can’t show who you are or why you’re detaining someone, you have no business laying a hand on them.
