Seriously, Judges *do no do things like this*

They don't give their opinion to the media

They don't criticize how SCOTUS works

This is them breaking the emergency glass, folks

He perpetrated genocide in the Caribbean & enslaved native human beings in a quest for riches. (Sound eerily familiar?)

He “tarnished” his own reputation. We recognize today that this kind of exploitation of fellow humans is anathema to civil society.

Celebrate indigenous resilience, not greed!

“I think China is using [clean technology] in a very, very geopolitically savvy way, taking advantage of America’s stupidity and regression back into a petrostate. China just wins. America has abrogated the playing field.”

No, duh! The Cheeto didn’t plan this crap, just revels in it. The puppet masters: Miller, Bessent, & Vought are the brains behind this fascist takeover. Cheeto is just the useful idiot mascot.

Great point from @mjtoma.bsky.social: Millions of us absolutely do see what's happening to the USA.

"We are horrified, shocked, enraged, and ashamed. We are acting, in a thousand ways, to oppose it. This cannot, and will not, be how the United States ends."

He looks & sounds like a walking TIA!

Add his regressing speech patterns & diminished vocabulary over the past 5 years shockingly similar to dementia & we have a mere puppet propped up by his desperate authoritarian team of ghouls.

And that is unpaid admin leave (furlough) during a gov shutdown. IF any are called back, they won’t get back pay.

Chances are their furlough will be used to justify eliminating positions as “non-essential” once the shutdown ends.

It’s an Executive Branch Friday Massacre of inconvenient personnel.

It’s “self-preservation” she’s swallowed. She’s not needed by Cheeto now & has been dumped. Her revenge & relevance hangs on the Epstein files. She needs to win reelection & this is her hope to keep GOP support.

The GOP is abetting the fascist takeover over our country by madmen in the executive bent on immoral authoritarian power.

They use the self-created and sustained chaos & pain to divide Americans in the center to gain support. The GOP majority in both houses of Congress could stop it, but won’t.

It comes from the Treasury.

They don’t care if they “have the authority” to do this.

Bessent, a former hedge fund manager, is bailing out the hedge fund industry, who has invested heavily in the AR peso & losing $$.
This cash props up Milei & peso just enough so they can cut their losses.

My quote of the day

We have managed to unite a country tearing down the barriers the regime built to divide us. Ours is a fight of a nation united against a criminal tyranny, in defense of its human rights, freedom, and democracy. That is why we have no alternative but victory

Lucidity has nothing to do with it. Tests are for signs.

I had to pass a version to qualify for long-term care insurance at 52. Interview began with 15 random words I was asked to repeat at the end of the session. Also included counting backwards by an odd interval from a given 3-digit number.

I feel like a broken record, but I have to keep saying it over and over again: a farmer bailout won’t do much of anything because the market is gone. There will be no incentive to plant next year.

The bailout will help payoff farmer debt to the banks. That’s all.

Donald Trump is not a king — and his administration is not above the law.

Today, the court confirmed what we all know: there is no credible evidence of a rebellion in the state of Illinois.

And no place for the National Guard in the streets of American cities like Chicago.

Pure vindictive prosecution. Use his posts & words against him. He’s clearly stated he wants retribution. These prosecutions that fall below guidelines should be obvious.

Why else was he part of the Middle East delegation but to get in on the graft. Already has billions from that Saudi Sovereign Wealth Fund. Just adding && from others in the area seeking to buy favor.
