This info is only dropping because everyone involved was stripped of power and/or imprisoned and can't stop it.
This was all done in public by idiots so sure of their power they were convinced consequences would never come.
Korea brought those consequences quick.

The notes from this fast food murder meeting just dropped.
They had gathered crates of chloroform and rags to knock out their political opponents.
Yes, they saw a bunch of Hollywood action movies, said "heck yeah" and didn't think to Google "is that a real thing?"

The perfect example of the mundanity of the fascism we face is that the top secret meeting of top generals and army officials to plan the martial law and assassinations in the failed Korean coup this month took place in a booth at Lotteria.

losing half your support on one of your strongest issues after 11 months of doing everything exactly the way you want to do it would give most politicians something to think about, but miller's calling these shots and he's not a politician
New AP poll has Trump's approval on immigration down to an abysmal 38% as he rants psychotically about "shithole countries," smears Somalis, threatens large-scale denaturalization and remigration, and openly pines for more white immigrants and fewer nonwhite ones

US jobless claims jumped 44,000 to 236,000 last week, biggest rise since pandemic began. Companies like PepsiCo and HP are cutting workers.
Most consumers also now expect unemployment to rise further.

they reopened the government for the promise of a vote, not the passage of the bill. the point wasn’t to save people’s health care, it was to get the gop’s opposition on public record so they can use it in future campaign ads, “so and so voted to increase your premiums.” it was always cynical.

Quite the day for Trump: The defeat below, the defeat in Indiana, the defeat on the latest Letitia James case, the release of Kilmar Abrego Garcia, really bad poll numbers (his handling of the economy numbers threatening to fall into the 20s) He's losing it politically as fast as he is mentally.
Say it again for the folks in the back: "The first time the House has voted to overturn a Trump executive order in this term." 🙌

all of these people were picked, in part, *because* they had no real prospect of advancing past where they're at. trump's the only person who would promote them, and everyone — both trump, and the people he promoted — all know it. it's why they're all loyal to him. that was the point.
like, rubio was never going beyond his senate station in any administration other than this one, noem was never going to the senate, hegseth has never been a politician, zeldin was a washout, loeffler's a loser, bondi was never leaving florida, gabbard was basically unemployable

I think we have enough evidence by now to know that people could say nothing at all, have no celebrations at all, and there would still be an explosion of outrage, harassment, censorship, and potential violence over the imagined idea of it.
Everyone’s gonna die someday. Trump may die sooner, and when he does, I worry there will be a genuine explosion of violence by people who will be enraged by the celebrations, a deepening of the rift.

Literally one of the main reasons why FBI missed Jan6 is bc Bill Barr had the FBI chasing Antifa.
All the Proud Boys had been turned "informants" on Antifa.

You’ve got to assume that any real organised crime or terror groups in the US know the FBI isn’t tracking them as closely as they used to.
That could be very bad indeed – and if so, you can expect to see the clips of congressional testimony like today’s many, many times.

Kinda wild that the organization the FBI considers the biggest domestic threat is ... largely imaginary.
