Republicans: You have to stop lowering the standards for people in our military, you're making us look weak!

ALSO Republicans: Stop asking Pete Hegseth all these mean questions about his own words and actions, and no he can't take a second round of questioning

A jury of 12 of his peers who heard all of the evidence and had the opportunity to hear his lawyers argue against it unanimously agreed that he was guilty. Prosecutors can't make that happen, nor can judges. That's our criminal justice system in action. The jurors found Trump guilty.

Now that they destroyed their own neighborhood, the Maga/Elon trolls are rolling in to BlueSky.

My recommendation is to block early, on the first offense, without explanation.

Here are my rules why I block them:

We have a peculiar historical event shaping up where the oligarch billionaire class is about to fleece this country while most of their supporters are working people who are convinced that they are on their side because they hate migrants & trans people.

Remember the FBI informant who claimed President Biden took millions in bribes from Burisma?

He admitted today in federal court that he made the whole thing up.

And that he started spinning new lies after meeting with Russian intelligence.

The same Republicans who whined about former California AG & United States Senator Kamala Harris being an “unqualified DEI hire”, are totally fine with Trump picking his friends, family, Fox hosts, tv doctors and top donors for advisors, Ambassadorships, Department heads and Cabinet posts.

This clip explains Trump/Musk's plans to transfer $100 billion in taxpayer funds to a "Strategic Bitcoin Reserve' that will enrich their Cryptobro donors, and could enable them to participate in untraceable criminal activity.

MEDIA: “the Democrats are too elitist, they need to reach out to the working class”

TRUMP: “I’m going to deregulate big business, remove consumer protections, destroy unions, keep the minimum wage low, cut taxes for the rich, and fill my administration with billionaires!”

VOTERS: we love Trump! 😍

If you’d told me on Jan 6th 2021 that the man responsible for that horrific attack would end up returning to the office he tried to steal that day, and that he’d do so after calling the attackers “heroes” & “hostages” he was going to pardon, I’d have thought you were out of your damn mind.

And yet…

Reminder that the woman accusing Pete Hegseth of assaulting her is a Republican, and the incident occurred at a Republican conference. She was there with her husband. Pretty difficult set of circumstances to dismiss as a witch hunt but seems like Republicans are going to try.

If Hunter Biden had pooped out in the open in Nancy Pelosi’s office and then smeared it all over the walls after hitting a police officer with an American flag, Trump would’ve been the one to pardon him.

BREAKING: AP just released a scathing report on Tulsi Gabbard indicating she is too compromised to keep us safe. It’s about time the media pay attention.

There seems to be a vast under-appreciation for the lines we’ve crossed and the world we’re in.

Trump’s win has basically put us in a post-rules world.

People in power don’t feel constrained by rules and any remaining checks don’t feel empowered to be checks.

This reality has not set in yet.

Soon and very soon, MAGAs are going to feel the crushing weight of objective reality come smashing down upon their red hats, as the truth that cannot be covered over by Fox News fictions or GOP spin doctors becomes terrifyingly clear: they have lost, too.
