“I’ll be involved in the decision” is another way of saying “Netflix just needs to find out how much money they need to deliver to the Trump crime family.”

This isn’t just “crazy “RFK JR” or Trump the Republican Party confirmed the nomination and continues to support and enable these threats to our children.

Easy. Netflix just needs to come up with enough money to payoff the Trump crime family.

Imagine you have a college degree, you’re a highly trained FBI agent intending to be engaged in serious criminal investigations and you end up escorting a drunk friend of Kash Patel’s girlfriend….

I agree with your pessimism about even a small number of Republicans stepping up to their duty. But still I claim the hope expressed by @claireberlinski.bsky.social that
“You never know when someone who has been a coward all their life will suddenly discover the unexpected pleasure of courage."

Top two institutional reforms:

Eliminate the Electoral College.

Eliminate the US Senate (or at the minimum turn it into a purely ceremonial institution)

Fascist thugs always look for a vulnerable minority group to demonize. Straight from the Hitler playbook.

Thank you to the Republican Party for bringing this group to power and continuing to protect and enable them.

What a metaphor for the current Republican Party: a group of masked males forcibly beating up a woman half their size.

One group is responsible for this kind of horror: the Republican Party. They enabled it and they could stop it. The fact that they don’t reveals their full responsibility.

One group is responsible for every Hegseth crime and failure: the Republican Party.

One group is fully responsible for every Hegseth crime and failure: the Republican Party.

Isn’t there a sign on the White House lawn that says “Pardons for Sale”?

I think much of the MAGA movement is based on white nostalgia for the 1950s.

The fictional world of Ward, June, Wally and the Beav, bobbie socks, teens in the family station wagon at a burger joint on Friday night, before civil rights, feminism, and gay rights. Fictional? Yes. Powerful images yes.

Once they are convinced the ship is actually sinking all the GOP cowards will rush to get off the ship and claim they were never on board.

“Dehumanizing language” is a central feature of fascism and genocide.

Trump’s continuing use of such language clearly reveals who he is at his core.

Trump and Miller don’t care one bit about drug runners. This is all part of a larger plan to cement the idea with Americans that Trump can declare anyone a terrorist and therefore can legally order their murder.
Does anyone think this won’t be applied to his American political opponents 2026?

Let’s also be clear: along with Hegseth, the pilot and his chain of command can also be tried in a court.
