Because it always must be noted: Epstein’s death was in August 2019. Bill Barr was the AG.Trump was in office for a year and a half more after the death.

Republicans always yell about how government doesn't work, then they get power and prove themselves right.

He was also involved in a murder-for-hire.

Pardons with corrupt intent technically impeachable.

The JD Vance interviews show how broken the Sunday morning political show format has become. Such interviews are a purely performative exercise.

We scoff at the nonsense coming from Dear Leader and his merry band of idiotic sycophants but their audience isn’t us.

It’s the Republican cult, people who are so dumb that they actually believe this nonsense.

That’s what we’re up against.

A national political divorce solves so many problems.

Didn’t the DOJ just indict a former FBI Director for lying to a committee. Perhaps the need to investigate and indict their own DOJ director who lied in this weeks committee hearing and Cosplay Kristy for her lies here. Equal justice for all.

The continuous lying and making up stuff about terrorism happening in Oregon is horrendous. There has been nothing outside of maybe a city block past the ice facility that has protesting going on. She needs to be checked and held accountable for these lies stoking fear and hate on TV.

I really hope not. It’s so weird that anyone thinks Portland is experiencing any kind of disruption. Wet leaf season is almost here, so maybe we can put the feds to work clearing storm drains and slippery bike lanes.

Is funding available to launch a campaign to ensure the entire country knows these are intentional lies to delude people? Could be their city next as fed attempts to take control of states, incite civil war responses to ICE breaking state laws & continue to lie about why they're deploying NG troops.

Can't help but wonder why they are doubling down on Portland. Is it because they think people might realize they've been lying about it for 5 years? Or is there some other reason they want to take control of Oregon? Why Oregon? What's the real endgame there long-term?

The good news is, they're not acting. This is authentic Portland to the core. The only malevolence and warmongering is on the government side from delusional people who seem to think they're in some violent video game.

Team Trump is just mocking Republicans in Congress now.

Remember this when you see Thune or Johnson blame Dems for anything. They are just ceremonial co-chairs of the Duma, rubber stamps for their leader

Trump, Vought & Miller have made them all as feckless as Susan Collins. No small feat

SFDB @sfdb.bsky.social · 1d

"Inside the White House, top advisers joke that they are ruling Congress with an 'iron fist,' according to people who have heard the comments. Steve Bannon, the influential Trump ally, likened Congress to the Duma, the Russian assembly that is largely ceremonial."
