Donald Trump seems to think “habeas corpus” is a person, based on new video from today. This is getting so bad that even Jesse Watters on Fox nEws had to declare today that Trump definitely doesn’t have dementia

It's been over 9 months since the Palisades and Eaton Fires tore through Los Angeles. We asked for federal support, but we haven’t heard a word from the White House.

Not a single offer.

Is this what leadership looks like? Abandoning the American people when they call for help?

Whether you're a Democrat or Republican, you probably privately agree on this much:

Trump and his lawyers—Bondi and Patel—are ACTING like the Epstein Files include smoking-gun evidence of Trump raping kids.

They are ACTING like a domestic military escalation is worth distracting us from the Files.

Since we’re clearing the air, I might as well put out something I’ve been concealing for a very long time.

I’m the Vice President of Antifa (Western Continental Division)

Popehat Agitates And Irritates @kenwhite.bsky.social · 11h

OK. It's going to be coming out soon because of the relentless investigations of Pam Bondi and Kash Patel, so I might as well admit it before the news breaks:

I am the General Counsel of Antifa.

You can't blame a shutdown on Democrats when the entire Republican Party hasn't even bothered to show up for work.

Tell Congress to cancel the GOP healthcare cuts and end Trump’s shutdown here: https://bit.ly/3IDECjz

Let me give you a few reasons-you illegally blew up boats from another country, you are ginning up a civil war in your own country, you stalled aide for Ukraine so more soldiers died, you continue to support Putin, you threatened Brazil because they dared to hold a leader to account…..I could go on.

Let’s be clear about what Alberta is proposing:

BC loses billions of dollars of major projects from private investors.

AND Canadian taxpayers are forced to pay billions more because there is no interest from a private company.

That’s not fair. And fairness is a Canadian value.

You gave legitimacy to a regime that kills journalists, oppresses women, kills LGBTQ, extorts money, and is corrupt. These comics are so full of themselves they actually believe they are able to change the minds of these horrible people? Get over yourselves you were used to make them seem sane.

Greg Abbott is a lackey of Donald Trump.

He’s going against exactly what he said he would do last year.

So cool that whenever someone asks the president, “did you eat the Lindbergh baby” he’s like, “no but I’d be allowed to, I have the right to, I might do it later”

Q: Have you given any more thought to possibly suspending habeas corpus?

TRUMP: Suspending who?

Q: Habeas corpus

TRUMP: I don't know. I'd rather leave that to Kristi.

Canada also has a moral obligation, IMO, to help those countries that cannot defend themselves as well as those that can but find themselves in the crosshairs, such as Ukraine. It is not as simple as just being a good society.

You are right, in a perfect world where all countries agree. But we are not in a perfect world. A strong society helps for internal peace but it is no match for an unhinged war monger from another country. Sidelining the US and Russia from the UN takes world cooperation which takes years.

Maybe so but those investments are in Canadian military equipment, and Canadian military personnel so in effect it is an investment in our own protection.

ullie-b.bsky.social @ullie-b.bsky.social · 1d

I agree but that does not work when you have Putin invading sovereign nations nor does it work when China is eying Taiwan and Trump is eying Greenland. It only works in a world where tyrants are not on the rise. At some point we need to participate in defending world democracy it is our moral duty.

What's happening in Chicago is not normal.

The arrest of Alderperson Fuentes is just the latest example of how far Noem and Bovino are willing to go to ignore the rule of law. We must all speak up.
