It’s easy. The administration will give progressively more illegal orders. By the time it’s mass murder the frog of morality will have long since boiled

I’m not saying the USA is fully f*cked, but it wouldn’t be so wrong for the nation to enjoy a collective cigarette, then fight over who wants a quiet cuddle and who would rather immediately roll over and start snoring.

In an earlier era, Trump’s incoherent ranting would have paved the way for his immediate removal from office under the 25th Amendment. -Krugman

Delivering a nakedly partisan speech to a mandated assembly of military officers was a gross violation of the Hatch Act. The content —telling the officers to be ready to use force against U.S. citizens — was clearly an impeachable offense.

Trump treated the event like a political rally and was clearly taken aback by the refusal of the audience to applaud or laugh at his jokes.

It is about saving the US - etc- they constantly constantly use bs like this to distract and keep us from focusing- putting BLUE asses in formerly RED seats is The ONLY WAY that happens. Epstein helps that HOW?
Tell me plz

It seems like they want us to play Epstein game. How do we profit or win by playing their game ?

I still don’t know why we want Epstein files - his fans won’t believe, his DoJ won’t prosecute, his party won’t do anything. It’s for us to waste our energy on. If he raped 10 or 100 kids. No file is trustworthy from them

I don’t know how to be around so many friends who—to my mind and I deeply hope I am wrong—seem so in denial about the totality of what both Trump and AI augur for any hope of a stable, much less just, society.
