That's Noem, Lewandowski, and Bovino out.
Wannabe fascists, perhaps, but you are not living in a fascist country. Public pressure, embarassment, legislative opposition - all of them helped to turf these folks. That's what I mean by "the levers of democracy still work and you should use them."
We would never stop hearing about this if this were someone Biden pardoned.
Apparently, the GOP has a Nazi problem.
I am clearly being threatened with a good time!! 😁
*clears throat*
lol
Minnesota is mourning the loss of Sergeant First Class Nicole M. Amor of White Bear Lake who was killed in Kuwait on Sunday.
She answered the call to serve and gave her life in service to our state and nation. Minnesotans are wrapping our arms around her loved ones.
This earned a follow.
For years on my old blog I published the names of servicemembers who died in Iraq & Afghanistan. No other outlets were.
These are the first 4 Americans to die in the Iran War.
Capt. Cody A. Khork, 35
Sgt. 1st Class Noah L. Tietjens, 42
Sgt. 1st Class Nicole M. Amor, 39
Sgt. Declan J. Coady, 20
Because she was working with a federal task force, she was considered a federal officer, and thus protected by SCOTUS rulings making it all but impossible to sue federal cops, even for egregious abuse.
Now consider what this means for Trump's immigration thugs.
Democrats had two years to fix this.
9/9: This may seem hypertechnical, but it underscores the broader point I made in "One First" about *both* of the Court's grants of emergency relief last night—that the Republican appointees' impatience is leading them to run over settled legal constraints to reach the merits in these cases.
/end
As I explain via the latest “One First,” the only theme that unites the Supreme Court’s (unrelated) grants of emergency relief Monday night in the California transgender student and New York redistricting cases is what might be called “selective judicial impatience.”
And that’s *not* a good thing:
Oof. I just read your post in the most uncharitable, pedantic way possible, and I gotta tell ya: it's not looking good for you.
The Supreme Leader insisted on not taking special security measures even though he knew the attacks were about to start and was killed in his home. He wanted to die this way.
The concept of martyrdom is an extremely potent, galvanizing force in Shia and Iranian culture.
But you can read Rumi in the original. That has to be worth the inconvenience of having to laugh inside!!!! 😁
So-there's going to be a "a report, in writing, setting forth the circumstances necessitating the introduction of US Armed Forces, the constitutional & legislative authority under which such introduction took place; and the estimated scope and duration of the hostilities" w/n 48 hours. Right? RIGHT?
So let’s think about this.
A private company refused - on principle - to yield to the government’s demands.
The government then cancelled its contracts with the company and has set about destroying it
The thing I never understand is that the RW agitprop media has a total audience of around 3-4 million people. Appealing to its crowd fundamentally is going to just take legacy media and make it less popular.
It's.. a smaller group than you already have?
Professor Nichols is Greek Orthodox as far as I’m aware, not Jewish. And race isn’t real. Racism certainly is, but not race. And the more exposed your society’s version of Stupid makes you, the more careful you must be about What Works. Ask the Civil Rights leaders. They were ruthless about :works:.
They beat a blind refugee who speaks no English for failing to obey police commands he could not understand. Then instead of apologizing, they charged him with possession of a “weapon”—HIS WALKING STICK. Then they dumped him miles from home without notifying anyone, after which he was found dead.
You know, it seems like making this your argument when the president is sitting at 38-esh percent approval is not the argument I would be making, but what do I know, I'm just a talking plane.
uh yeah that is incredibly fucking bad for the GOP
NEW: WSJ now confirming my reporting that the DOJ is withholding at least three FBI interviews with a woman who told the FBI that Trump sexually assaulted her when she was a child

lmao welcome to the resistance *checks notes* Thomas Massie?
Truth has inherent value.
This seems to be a common reply to my thread, so I'll address it here. Basically, the argument is who cares if this is a misleading attack on Newsom, he's bad so if it hurts him it's fine.
And I think it's important to push back on misinformation so that when there are legitimate criticisms...
The truth is these people are not very smart and it is firmly out of hand.
I‘m sorry. I am catching the aroma of something delightfully fun and human but utterly lack the background knowledge to understand what is going on here. 😂
Same. Exactly the same. I can‘t do it.
