Close up view of young guy playing electric guitar.  You can see only the cream-colored guitar and his hands.  On his right wrist are two bead bracelets.

Could the GOP abolish the filibuster, pass what they want, and then immediately re-establish it?

Well, I don't see anything wrong with having everything he said, but I am not convinced that we would have that even if the dems had won.

The regime's storm troopers will eventually be successful at fomenting violence, even if they have to start it with undercover agents, as they've been known to do over the course of years and various administrations.

It doesn't show it, but the url shows that it's unlocked.

These people LOVE to play dress up, don't they?

My rebuttal to this absurd take from The Atlantic: qasimrashid.substack.com/p/journalism...

You don't compromise with fascists, you run on a proven values that the American people want, and you fight for them.

The Democratic party’s progressives seem determined to re-educate the public rather than compromise for their votes, Jonathan Chait argues:
Democrats Still Have No Idea What Went Wrong
The party’s progressives seem to think the problem is not with their platform but with voters.

Don't you think that if Vacation Vance takes over the presidency that he will issue the pardons?

Yeah, leave it to Kristie, who ALSO doesn't even know what it is.

The US "Attorney General," is anything but. She's corrupt and a liar. She's thrashing about and lashing out because things aren't going her way. She needs to go home.

Someone needs to invite him to fly over the damn city and see for himself. if he doesn't want to do that, then that proves he isn't interested in the truth.

Well, huge costs for energy to run the things, plus, people like him will demand to be paid billions of $$ - on a recurring basis - for engineering the whole thing, so I don't see things getting very cheap

A great discussion w a lot of good bkgnd info. Re the raid on the Chicago apt - if there is no "limiting principle," maybe they bomb the bldg instead of raiding it. Let's not forget this was done already in Philly FORTY yrs ago when they bombed a whole block in pursuit of some revolutionaries.

Regulation of medical treatments is only the tip of the iceberg.

True - many won't be able to afford the increased premiums and they'll go without insurance. But my point was that the regime will tell people this:

"Democrats are to blame for your higher premiums! Dems refuse to open the govt! If the govt were open, Pres Trump would seek a deal with insurers!"

I'm sorry but it's just plain hilarious that we're still expected to hate Hamas after spending two years being shown exactly what it is that Hamas has been fighting.

US & UK turn a blind eye when their own citizens are imprisoned, tortured, or even killed by the murderous Israeli regime. The US set the tone in 1967 when Israel attacked one of its Navy ships. There was zero US response & people on that ship are today still waiting for answers.

They are going to see their premiums skyrocket and the regime is going to tell them it is because the dems refuse to open the govt so that Dear Leader can solve the problem. And they'll believe every word.

"Our luxurious five-star hotel is located in a war-torn shit hole of a city where fires burn uncontrolled on every other block and people have to bring a gun just to go to the grocery store. Gang warfare is routine. Excellent views of all this from our 27th floor rotating restaurant!"

Wonder if we'll have another Alexander Haig moment with Miller, who is already clearly overstepping his authority.
markus1001.bsky.social
The "might serve as a dangerous precedent" part nails it. Everything the regime has done has been a test to see just how far it can go with its lawlessness. It is going to be up to the military to refuse to carry out such orders, and so far they have been only all to willing to obey.

I think CBS is CTD as far as being a trusted news source.
