a ton of stupid shit happened this week but the winner of The Four Seasons Total Landscaping Oh My God He's A Moron Prize goes to Donny, who actually uttered this quote. I cover all this and more in my Saturday round-up, "this week in stupid." thanks for your attention, link is here: bit.ly/4rR91fz

Newsweek: Ted Lieu wants a special counsel to investigate Pam Bondi: β€œAG Bondi lied under oath. She said β€˜There's no evidence that Trump committed a crime’. DOJ posted 3 FBI interviews related to sexual assault allegations against Trump. That’s evidence.”

In the last week, under the Trump administration:

- Trump started an illegal war against Iran
- Trump fired DHS Secretary Kristi Noem and replaced her with another loyalist
- The Department of Homeland Security obstructed its own inspector general’s investigation

The author of this piece has a history of sanitizing right-wing ideologues - centering β€œfaith” rather then their records and agendas.

So according to the WSJ a US Senator conspired with another country to manipulate the US into starting a war, am I getting this right

Basically all of the bad economic news this term is because the president deliberately decided to do something moronic. He is much more personally responsible for this than most presidents are for the downturns in their administration.

Sad to hear of the passing of my former colleague Congresswoman Hanabusa.

She was a fierce advocate for Native Hawaiian rights and a great friend to Gwen and me.

There are a lot of posts out there with the close-up visual of Markwayne Mullin on January 6, but this is a better perspective.

He’s not protecting others; he’s protecting himself and hiding. You can see plenty of people at the entry door, ready to take on the insurrectionists, but not Markwayne.

The war on Iran is unfolding alongside a wave of mass layoffs in the US. These are not separate crises. They are two sides of the same offensive by the ruling class against the working class.

He seems pretty sensitive whenever someone confronts him with evidence that Putin might not be our friend. Even when Fox brings it up.

When a government goes after a company and threatens to burn it down because they won't let their product be used for nefarious reasons says something chilling about that government.πŸ—½

The Department of Justice has sued 30 states and DC for access to their unreacted sensitive voter data. My law firm is fighting them in all 30 cases.

We are dedicating so many resources because these are the most important legal fights and the future of free and fair elections is at stake.

Neguse: It's still unclear as to the ultimate reasons that Trump made that decision. It may be that the corruption that Noem was engaged in embarrassed him. It may be that he was envious of it.

Huh. I thought the attacks were to *help* the Iranians. How weird.

Apparently Donald Trump watched this hearing too. And fired her the very next day.

The killing of Iranian children during an illegal war is an impeachable offense (not to mention a grave crime) and Congress should really act like it.

15 Republicans in the Senate could end this nightmare before it somehow gets even worse.

He's flat out lying. The ID you use to buy beer won't be acceptable under the GOPs voter surpression bill.

The money behind the new Iran War In private calls over the last several weeks, Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman urged President Trump to attack Iran.

1. According to multiple reports both Saudi Arabia and the UAE lobbied Trump to attack Iran.

Both countries have increased their influence with Trump by investing billions in projects that personally enrich Trump and his son-in-law, Jared Kushner.
