ABSOFUCKINGLUTELY 💯

Getting his cases dismissed does NOT exonerate Trump from his criminal culpability for January 6th.

A reminder that we had a whole ass revolution to get rid of a king who thought he had unlimited power over us. Let’s not just give an idiot that power now.

Apropos of everything Trump…

Republicans claim to be “the party of law and order,” but in reality they are the party of unlawful disorder and hypocrisy. Watching MAGA Republican elites go after Sen. Murkowski, who refuses to vote for Trump nominees unless they are vetted by the FBI clearly shows how low they’re willing to go.

Tommorow's protests against the Russian-backed government in Tbilisi will likely be the largest in Georgia's history. Thousands of cars pouring into the capital right now from all over the country, planning to camp out overnight.

When we were children, we were taught that no matter how you reached, no matter much wealth and power you accumulated, you were not above the law. We can no longer teach our children that. And that's really fucking tragic.

Aaaaand it's worse. Pam Bondi is every bit as corrupt as Gaetz and even more of a Trump sycophant. She just isn't as stupid.

Today's Poem:

A strike on Ukraine with an intercontinental missile has no military logic behind it This is part of psychological warfare. Russia is trying to frighten the world with nuclear weapons. What is Russia trying to achieve? To scare the world and convince it that Russia might actually use nuclear weapons

The Ukrainian city of Dnipro became the first city in human history to be struck by an intercontinental ballistic missile. It is a historic turning point. An intercontinental ballistic missile used not on a firing range, but against a city of a million people.

I'M ALIVE!!! Fuck you, Schrödinger!

Sorry, Morning Joe, we’re just not that in to you.

I’m sure those math scores in Oklahoma will go up after they spent all that money on Trump Bibles for public schools.

Biden administration approves antipersonnel mines for use in Ukraine. This is a good move by Biden. Flood the zone with whatever aid Ukraine needs before Trump gets in office. The calculus is that Putin isn’t going to escalate further since his puppet is on the way. www.cnn.com/2024/11/19/p...

Of all the obvious “consolidate power by giving people an enemy to hate” moves, the Republican anti-trans campaign has to be one of the most grotesque in terms of heaping irrational persecution on top of people that are already unfairly targeted. The lack of shame is sociopathic.

When I think about Joe & Mika appeasing Trump so they can maintain their comfy lives, I think about Ruby Freeman and Shaye Moss enduring years of harassment for simply doing their jobs. So when Joe defends it by saying people need to live in the real world, he should respectfully go screw himself.

House Republicans haven’t been able to pass their own budget for the past two years, but they are laser focused on the bathroom situation in the Capitol after wrapping up the Hunter Biden investigation.

I feel like at this point Trump could nominate a monkey for Treasury and the press would desperately try to find ways to be fair to the monkey.

Donald Trump has made his top Cabinet picks. To date, there is not a single Black person in his Cabinet. This is the least diverse Cabinet in recent American history and by far the least qualified. open.substack.com/pub/meidasto...

Folks, Biden won't pardon his son. He said he wouldn't; & wants history to record a contrast in ethics. Matt Gaetz/whoever will fiercely go after & try to bankrupt HB. Trump will theatrically pardon Hunter; RW media will praise his compassion. Remember -they're programming a show, not governing.

Trump and Scholz both called Putin. Then Putin escalated with the largest missile attack of the entire war.

It was a 49% to 48% election. Fascism won by a hair. And it took Russian and MAGA bomb threats, a hoax regarding battleground-state police raids, an illegal Musk-funded lottery, $600M given to Trump by just 15 people, Netanyahu meddling in our politics, and Democrats staying home for it to happen.

Trump vetted Hegseth in 2017; past allegations came up and scuttled a VA nom. This time Trump axed the normal vetting processes, hired a private firm, didn’t wait for a report, selected Hegseth. Now his team says it was blindsided. Uh, no—it got caught. This is why media needs curatorial journalism.

My friend who is one of the only cat rescuers/TNRescuers in Santa Maria, CA, the one whose landlord sold her home of 14 years, has found a place to move where she can continue her rescue and foster work. She needs help with moving costs. Many animals count on her. www.gofundme.com/f/support-a-...

One thing to remember as RFK dismantles public health and Muskaswamy dismantles the entire government is that safety regulations are 100% written in blood. Each rule is meant to address a situation where someone died. Maybe a lot of someones! True for food and drugs and the electrical code.

We've now reached the "cover for child rape in exchange for earthly power" phase of Mike Johnson's Christianity.

Speaker Mike Johnson wants to block the ethics report about Matt Gaetz sexually abusing a child, because when someone is innocent of sexual abuse, you definitely want to block the report exonerating him.

Quelle surprise.

The party that accuses everyone of being a pedophile has thoughts

I expect the Arctic to be another part of the world where Trump will let Putin do whatever he wants despite that being to the detriment of American national security. Amazing how having an incompetent president who according to his own first-term DNI is mysteriously beholden to Putin hurts America.

If you’re “strongly discouraging” the release of an ethics report, you’re on the wrong side of history. CC: Speaker Johnson

But we won’t know we’re all dying because they won’t report the number of deaths.

Justice for Ruby and Shaye. 👏👏👏👏👏

The most gullible people in the world are those who believed that a vote for Trump was a vote *against* the sex-trafficking of minors.

Let’s hope it never graces any other type of government office.

Selective on who/what they’ll “let” us see.

I predict Trump will now do a much better job than Joe Biden at convincing people that the Biden economy he inherits is good, he will just do that while claiming it is his. It will be the same, just marketed differently.
