Rejector of our ongoing political fecklessness. What happened to civic engagement? Tans more, rusts less these days.

All I see is a room full of Southern Baptists, once again set on self-harm.

All I see is two murderers in a desecrated room.

Jesus Christ. This is monstrous. Absolutely sickening. The journalists in that room should walk out en masse.

It should be done for many reasons. Do all of the things, and keep the pressure on.

Remember that time New York elected a Muslim mayor and MAGA shit their pants saying Sharia law was coming to NYC, and then like a week later Trump gave F-35's to Saudi Arabia, the capital of Wahabbi fundamentalist Islam, where 17 of 19 9/11 hijackers were citizens? Just to open Trump Tower Riyadh?

Great read! I'm wondering if Trump assumed Alex Acosta purged his name from the files when arranging Epstein's plea deal, only to learn this year that he had not. Hence his turnaround.

And though the files are now purged, he may be afraid his Keystone Cops of a DOJ missed some damaging stuff.

1/2 Apropos of yesterday's Piggy comment:

In 2019 a group of women astronauts completed the first all-female spacewalk. To mark the historic achievement Trump called the space station and congratulated the astronauts in one of those staged publicity events.

So, just so everyone understands: the Epstein Files Transparency Act that's being voted on today allows for NO redaction of the names of people mentioned in the files, other than victims.

That's what he's mad about. He wants perps and associates of Epstein to be protected.

I think what he’s saying here is: thinking & talking about the ACA and other possible healthcare plans is boring & hard. Let’s go with a simple idea I can toss off in a tweet. Now leave me alone, my shows are coming on the TV!”

To be fair, the 10 and 4 years could have overlapped.

But this is mathing out as really gross, as well as being psychologically disturbed.

Trump points when he is really rattled. It's another of his tells.

Nope, for whatever reason the entire thread just appeared. I only saw the original post with no thread - and it fit with our current situation, though infuriating.

My apologies. I'm fine with Ken Burns criticism and notation. Really embarrassing for me, so own that.

Really? That's your take? A civil war - not an authoritarian regime?

Come on.

Sorry, this makes little sense. Maybe that's me, maybe I hear that warning "do not comply in advance."

There is no civil war now, hardly anyone supports Stephen Miller's delusions. Why fear that reality?

The math of this doesn't ever math for this DHS dipshittery - and Charlotte is just 90 minutes from. Bovino's retirement.

Probably planning how he can move that forward. He is a scared little Braxton Bragg.

Trump, Border Patrol Retreat in Failure from Chicago Five important lessons of the first six months of Trump’s immigration raids β€” and why CBP’s Greg Bovino is the Nathan Bedford Forrest of the Trump era.

Greg Bovino is leading a rebel cavalry terrorizing Americaβ€”and it's important to recognize that it's in retreat. While the trauma and terror Bovino’s raiders instill is real and damaging, it’s remarkable to note how ineffective the force has turned out to be. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/trump-bord...

What happened to Musk's swinger years? Did these references just disappear from the internet over the past 10 years, like that didn't used to be a thing for him?

Framed as the politics of personal whim. Really getting tired of this princeling patter.

The mayor gets a clearance just as the President does. Goes with the office, not the individual.
