Dems need to bring this up every time Noem, Bondi, or some other idiot pulls their whataboutism during a Congressional hearing.

"What about Andrew Paul Johnson? By refusing to vet the January 6th rioters and pardoning them en masse, trump is responsible for Mr. Johnson's crimes, is he not?"

Every time some right wing fucker talks about migrants who commit crimes, I go ask them why they're not commenting on the crimes that Jan6ers have gone onto commit (two have been arrested this week). This guy features prominently.

I am not a librarian, but I am a patron of libraries.

The one thing I've learned in life: Don't fuck with librarians.

You will regret it and will be markedly more stupid afterwards.

Great timing—it's like scheduling a root canal while you're recovering from major surgery.

You are the Patron Saint of Libraries!

I am educating my brother about Hoopla and Libby. He wanted me to help him buy him an audiobook on Spotify and I said, "But, WAIT! Do you have a library card? Cause, that audiobook you want to listen to? The library has the whole series! For freeeeeee!!!"

So why did this regime go out of its way to bring this accused rapist back to the United States?

That's the real story here—not that he's an illiterate miscreant.

Are you kidding? There might be hot women present that he needs to impress.

You don't have to say it—we all hope that war criminals end up in the Hague.

Hey, don't knock our number one export—it's unpatriotic.

So tired of Dems who complain that they 'do not have the numbers' or 'we're limited in what we can do'. Boo-fricking-hoo. Don't tell me how you're gonna fail - GET CAUGHT TRYING.

Jesus-Christ-on-a-Triscuit, Dems—Get your shit together!

Dems need to—in the words of Talking Points Memo journalist extraordinaire @kateriga.bsky.social —get caught trying. Inject this into the blood stream of the body politic. You may not succeed right now, but you get the conversation started and momentum behind the idea.

Incoming Rant:

I always find that any official of this regime appearing in front of Congress is a waste of time. They refute everything and engage in whataboutism. Dems should just start impeachment proceedings. Not talk about it, just do it. If republicans want to defend them, let them.

Or suggest using a Brillo pad to scrub it away.

your handle alone is worth a follow.

"...killed half of US leadership?"

Um, which half are we talking about cuz, this is negotiable.

"They've forgotten the message..."

I'm guessing he's pushing those cyanide-laced potato chips again.

BTW, cyanide is a natural, organic ingredient.

And has profited from trump's military actions by investing in affected companies like defense contractors and the oil industry.

In short, he's a war-profiteering chickenhawk.

Now, see, this here's your problem...

Check out Europa Report. A nice companion piece to 2001.

It's nothing less than political malpractice.

Kafka understood that an even greater indignity than being turned into a giant insect was still being required to go to work afterward.

We have no idea of how many Iranians can be potentially moved to strike back at the soft underbelly of U.S. power.

Asymmetrical warfare will be the order of the day.

trump may be done with Iran, but Iran is not done with us.

I would respectfully disagree. As much as trump would like to wash his hands of his actions in Iran, it will have a long tail. Again, it took 22 years for Iranians to rebel against the U.S. backed Shah.

it took 10 years for Osama bin Laden to strike back after the humiliation of the gulf war.

Oil needs warships. Solar, wind & batteries don’t.

20% of global oil flows through one narrow strait. Tankers. Navies. Missiles. Risk premiums.

Sunlight isn’t shipped. Wind isn’t escorted. Storage isn’t blockaded.
