Once you see this image as a grim American flag you cannot unsee it.

It’s disturbing how often the spin from the White House boils down to “the President actually doesn’t understand what he’s talking about.”

Sir, I was a public school student in the Georgia district that had stickers in the science books warning us not to believe the evolution chapter. Do you seriously think I have the reading comprehension to understand all that?

One of the first things that Hegseth did after taking power was firing the Chief of Naval Operations and the Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff.

If that’s Atlanta, then this is terrible news: you’ll be close enough to Willy’s Burritos to smell them but you won’t have time to grab one!

And Mike Johnson is a goddamned lying, cowardly, sycophantic son of a bitch.

He’s talking about a Forever War. Congress refused to rein him in, and now Trump is promising that his illegal war will continue until he gets the regime change he wants. We have basically nobody with us except Israel, and no plan except “make stuff go boom,” and kids are dying.

We’re fucked.

Pete Hegseth’s obsession with “lethality” and his disdain for “rules of engagement” always meant we’d be confronted with scores of murdered children. He never made any secret about his fetish.

And yet giant sacks of crap like Jared Golden and John Fetterman are cool with dead kids on their souls.

This makes sense for Fetterman, because if you want to be the dumbest goddamn oaf in the Senate, you gotta clear the competition from the field somehow.

In 2012, I worked in the AFL-CIO political department. That was where I first heard the name Markwayne Mullin. I asked if there was anything special about him folks should know, and I was told “he’s probably the single stupidest [person] I’ve ever seen.”

So, yeah, figures that Fetterman’s in. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Noem’s impeachment must continue. Even if she weren’t being shifted into another government office—a made-up one, yeah, but a government office nonetheless—she should be prevented from ever holding another federal office in the future. The blood on her hands can’t wash off so easily.

Just don’t forget that Markwayne Mullin would lose a trivia match to a sack of hammers.

She of all people should understand what it means to be sent to a farm upstate. And yet!

Noem was with Trump on stage when he had his altered-mental-state dance party in October 2024. She could talk about what the hell that was all about any time. And yet he still canned her in just the funniest, most personally embarrassing way possible.

Look, there is no way this is true, and there is no way that any official intelligence estimate says this is true, or even possible. Either he’s basing this on stupid shit he’s reading online, or he’s just lying, or both.

IT’S LITERALLY A LIFE-AND-DEATH MATTER AND HE’S BULLSHITTING THROUGH IT

Bullock might want another shot, and Andrea Davis in Missoula might think about it.

OTOH, the story was in Defector expressly because an institution with the resources to publish was nevertheless deterred by a fairly weak threat of litigation. The individual reporter had the requisite principles pretty much covered, just not the resources to reach a mass audience.

He’s lying, but even if he was telling the truth, that still wouldn’t make sending our troops into harm’s way without congressional authorization legal or constitutional. He broke the law, he broke his oath, and he should be impeached and removed for it.

What, he wants them to brew it with beef tallow?

Okay, but it’s not like there’s a requirement that the Executive take care that the laws are faithfully executed or anything. You gotta leave some wiggle room.

Maybe it’s not a great thing that so much of our economy and culture are controlled by people so obscenely wealthy that their lives would be unchanged if their net worths were either doubled or cut in half.
