Quite the unintentionally ironic use of this song about young men whose fathers were rich enough to get them out of the draft!

➡️ The Republican-run Supreme Court has ruled the President can't be prosecuted for doing crimes in office
➡️ The Republican-run Congress has decided Trump's the boss and they are mere spectators

News: Gang of Eight in Congress were only notified about Trump's Venezuela operation after it began, source familiar tells me. That means the heads of the Intelligence Committees in Senate and House were *not* consulted. Just crazy.

I feel like Trump is jealous of Obama for taking out Bin Laden. He wants his own heavily publicized victory against a monstrous enemy of the people who killed huge numbers of U.S. citizens.
More than oil or anything else he wants the optics of quickly and (for us) painlessly taking out an "enemy".

If Maduro is in custody my expectation is the admin will try to hold Dumb Nuremberg. They'll make it a judicial referendum on fentanyl and try to blame Maduro for the deaths from the opiate crisis.

There’s an account on Insta that asks the question “Did He Die Today?” Followed by a funny pic or gif saying “no” in some fashion.
The “he” in question is never named as it is not in the quoted post. But we all know to whom it refers. Helluva thing.

Is he dead yet?
Sometime this year, the answer will be yes.

Didn't the administration just lose a case about not spending money Congress required it to spend at SCOTUS? Bitch of it is, court ruling was too little too late iirc.

Heads up to @amandadeibert.bsky.social–the new Knives Out movie has an Easter Egg you might notice…
Just watched the new Knives Out and I think it's really important you know that the scene in the Seminary's Gym is filmed in the same place Rick Astley filmed the music video for Never Gonna Give You Up.
I saw the window tracery and immediately made my friends pause the film so I could tell them.

Julie K. Brown is a reporter for the Miami Herald who did groundbreaking work on Epstein beginning in 2018, including groundbreaking work on the disgusting coverup by Alex Acosta.
Her travel itinerary was released with some of the Epstein files. It appears the DOJ was monitoring her in 2019.
