If Network NEWSCASTS, and their Late Night Shows, are almost 100% Accurate about a Pathological Liar and Convicted Felon who Incited an Insurrection, tried to Steal a Fair Election and is Covering up Sex Crimes against Children, shouldn't his Disgraceful Presidency be terminated? I say, YES!

Great story, well told. And it triggered some great replies.
Okay, so at the request of the lovely @trance.bsky.social , I'm going to tell a story about what happens when a shitty person is "just joking", and then discovers there are consequences.

Bears repeating: the new U.S. ban on all foreign drones and components is literally the *exact opposite* of the wildly successful Ukrainian “we will try and use literally anything to win, and we’ll do it cheap” drone strategy that Hegseth and his defense boot-lickers have such huge boners for.

I'm not saying something that people don't already know. But it's worth making the issue explicit. We have an elaborate jurisprudence of probable cause, rooted in explicit strictures in the constitution that places big limits on what police can do to you. Those limits may be honored in the breach...

Have you written, or plan to write, anything about whether there is any basis for this (drones can elude radar by flying through wind farms)? Where would such drones have to launch to attack the east coast?

Burgum claims "national security concerns" created by wind turbines are detailed in a "classified report" & pertain to "radar interference," adding that "if you wanted to attack a population center on the east coast our country, you would send a swarm of drones right through one of these wind farms"

Anybody looked into whether you need any permits to install ship-to-ship weapons on a U.S. pleasure boat? If I am going to be a privateer going up against drug cartel boats, I think I want some heavy firepower. 🤷

A very interesting (and ominous) article. Bonus, it also explains how that nuclear scientist at MIT who the Brown University shooter also murdered is tied into all of this.

It is almost like the people of Los Angeles have said “We have had it with your shit, ICE.”
They held a four day trial to try to convict this guy. The jury took three hours to deliberate before they returned a not guilty.
How it started vs. How it’s going NOW 👀

Put the VP in charge of it. Gives them something to do and raises their visibility for a possible successor run.

There's a series of things (like the ballroom, Gulf of America) that we're going to have to *undo* the moment this guy is out of office.
And yet I can already hear future Democrat presidents saying "I'm focused on the people's work, not the knucklehead stuff" and just leave this man's shit up.

Steven Moore and I agree on at least one thing: we want Ukraine to win.
But what divides us is that Steven thinks Trump is critical to Ukraine winning, while I think we need to abandon the illusion he will help Ukraine.
