All the Americans who can spell NATO are, once again, in shock about the Thug in Chief fellating Putin for the umpteenth time.
At this point, if people are still surprised by this new axis of moron-ocracy, are they even paying attention?

Trying to decide the best nom du grift for the president. Options so far:
Combover Caligula
The Gonif in Chief
Putin's Pet
The First Pedophile
Hard to choose a favorite. Not sure about the propriety of using Yiddish as confirmed goy.

Finding out that some trumplicans MIGHT have a moral line in the sand they won't cross is the most surprising thing to happen in the last 48 hours.

For those of you who haven't studied the Roman Republic, it's a really bad idea to have a powerful military dependent on wealthy individuals for their pay and not the government.

While objectively terrible, destroying the physical building of the Whitehouse is the least terrible thing this administration has done since inauguration. It's also consistent with everything else he's done, so not exactly surprising.

Here's a good and worthy cause: the legal defense of Kilmar Abrego Garcia.
It's especially important now, as the US government wants to deport Abrego Garcia to Uganda - a place he is not from - in order to make their whole judicial embarrassment disappear. I just donated, and so can you.

Gov. Hochul has a solution: if they gerrymander, we counter-gerry.

Waiting around for the critical mass to figure out this is intrinsically evil and deleterious to democratic government/civil liberties, is like watching people diametrically opposed to giving the "push" door a little nudge to see if the sign is really true for them as well.

The fam spent Independence Day in Boston touring important historical places. My favorite by far: the USS Constitution. The USN runs the ship and they allowed me to go into the bilge to touch the original 227 year old keel!!!!!

Happy Independence Day from the Old State House in Boston, MA. The Declaration of Independence was publicly read from the balcony (for the 249th time) moments after I took this photo.

I'm starting a new political party. It's called Unity, and our platform is political and economic democracy.
Unity electeds who later refuse the party platform will be asked to resign their political position and won't be allowed to run as Unity candidates in future. Because we have standards.

If basic morality won't sway you to do the right thing re: immigration, consider the objective facts. Whether you're looking at economic or demographic data, the only thing that's clear is that the US desperately needs more people.
WE NEED IMMIGRANTS.
We don't need racist assholes, though.

I constantly veer between, "I must watch every single minute of this fucked up historic tragedy unfold," and, "I can't watch one more minute so I'm going to preserve my mental health by doing some useless *hobby* activities."

Not sure who needs to hear this, but if you think active duty military should be deployed against American citizens who are legitimately protesting illegal ICE activity, you're a gullible fucking moron who's not smart enough to comprehend the very obvious moral and ethical ramifications.

The more I read about the Ukranian drone attack in Russia, the more it sounds like Pearl Harbor meets Agincourt...but on a larger scale, somehow.
Ukraine is pioneering the next generation of warfare and it doesn't seem like anyone else has taken enough notice.
