And the idiots who would decide we should be free to choose iron lungs

I know of people who voted for Trump because of RFK who otherwise are lefties. It's one of the constituencies that decided their pet peeve mattered more than a constitutional government.

Do they actually not realize that they're proving his point?

I have been saying I wanted to write about this, so I am glad that I was able to just spend two solid days working on this story, basically without interruption. I haven’t had much of that since January, but it’s important, and I hope folks who appreciate it subscribe if they don’t already!

Trump visited a Trump Organization property on 428 (nearly one in three) of the 1,461 days of his first presidency and is estimated to have played 261 rounds of golf, one every 5.6 days.

So Trump managed almost to pass Obama in his first term. And your point is?

A Tale of Two Terms: How Powerful Figures Were Prosecuted in Trump’s First Term, Then Pardoned in His Second We found that Donald Trump has granted clemency in at least a dozen criminal cases that originated during his first term. No other president has used clemency to erase his own appointees’ actions on s...

They were prosecuted, then pardoned by Trump:

• P.G. Sittenfeld: Convicted of taking a bribe
• Devon Archer: Convicted of defrauding $60M from a tribal entity
• Brian Kelsey: Convicted of illegally funneling ~$100K into his campaign

Well look at you.

Burrowing!

A tweet from “Aaron Rupar @atrupar” reads: “Mark Kelly: ‘He’s talked about sending troops into more cities, he’s talked about invoking the Insurrection Act… You don’t have to go too far back… when he went to his Sec Def & said, “Can’t we just shoot these protesters in the legs.” That is an example of an illegal order.’” Below is a CNN screenshot with two anchors speaking on-air. The chyron reads: “TRUMP ACCUSES DEMS OF ‘SEDITIOUS BEHAVIOR, PUNISHABLE BY DEATH.’”

If and when Trump or Hegseth gives the order to fire upon U.S. citizens, the military must remember their oaths are to our Constitution, not to these madmen.

If you want a sense of how far the surveillance state has expanded inside the United States, look at what federal authorities are doing on our highways.

Today, after the Coast Guard lifted a ban on swastikas and nooses as symbols of hate, and after President Trump called for the execution of members of Congress, it is time for every American to decide. Who will you be?

Here is Burt Lancaster as Nazi era judge Ernst Janning in Judgment at Nuremberg.

Same ish with LinkedIn as a week or two ago. Microsoft is now using LinkedIn to learn on and the setting defaults to ON.

You gotta open the full list of settings but it was easy to do... I turned off EVERYTHING smart...

Iowa City made buses free in August 2023 with a goal of lowering emissions and encouraging people to take public transit.

Now ridership is up, traffic is down, and the program is extremely popular.

So popular that the City Council has voted to extend it for another year.

We found that Donald Trump has granted clemency in at least a dozen criminal cases that originated during his first term.

No president since Clinton has used clemency to erase his own appointees’ actions on such a scale.

At least 30 individual or corporations who have given over $116M to Trump and his super PAC have received regulatory favors from the Trump White House.

That includes Big Tobacco companies, Pharma giants, and crypto moguls like the Winklevoss twins.

Pay-to-play corruption.
