Air defenses needed in Ukraine are being used to shoot down US planes in a completely unnecessary war in the Middle East.

The tariffs were always illegal. Mild shock at the Supreme Court actually giving a real ruling on the law.

The Supreme Court, which has been recognized for two centuries as the authority on the rule of law, is now in conflict with the executive branch. The legislative branch, ostensibly the most powerful, has been useless for a long time now.

I increasingly worry that Trump’s get out of jail free card is Epstein. He was in the child raping demon club, and the law doesn’t apply to them. No matter how public it is, they own everything and always get away with it. The American presidency is just another lever they pull.

Let’s all hope the US Supreme Court properly defers to the Colorado Supreme Court on questions of Colorado constitutional law.

The fact that he’s allowed to be a public spokesperson for the administration speaks wonders. Wormtongue is supposed to be whispering in the shadows like he was in the first term. He’s now the public face of the mask off authoritarian message that keeps ramping up.

The first thing I saw this morning when I opened X

My brother in Christ, it’s called Twitter and why are you still checking it? Embrace mental health.

The special relationship doesn’t include manufacturing a war this ridiculously unjustified.

You ignore the red flags when your boss’s boss’s boss goes to the island paid for by the red flags.

The beauty of the 300-year-old American federalist system is that states enjoy a wide range of special rights to be ultimately determined by the current makeup of the Supreme Court with absolutely no checks on their power. Supreme Court Justices are lifetime appointees who can be bribed publicly and are free to lie about it, and there is no mechanism to question their ethics or remove them from their positions outside of a full impeachment like with Trump.

The state supreme courts have a good deal of power, but only to the extent that the federal Supreme Court doesn’t take it away. I can’t imagine a more fertile ground for fascism to be experimented upon legally if people of conscience do nothing.

Everybody has speculated where the line is for Trump supporters. In 2015, the line was 30% of all Republicans. That’s comical in hindsight. He promised a new beginning to rural voters who have been screwed over by the system for generations at this point with no end in sight.

A decade later, everyone forgot the possibility that there may be a line. Raping children. That’s the line. Years of dehumanizing Trump supporters has blinded everyone to the fact that they believe they’re cleaning up a deeply flawed system. A system run by evil Democratic pedophiles who worship Satan.

Finding out that the god emperor who is supposed to be the savior of the country is an actual child rapist shakes their belief in him to the core. He promised to release the Epstein files and bring justice to all these evil wealthy monsters. The fact that he is one of those monsters is his Achilles Heel.

This Epstein issue really could be different. The “democrats are pedophiles and Trump is going to stop them” myth is fundamental to MAGA. I don’t think they realize how foundational that was to their movement.

Meanwhile, Trump is clearly a pedo, ICE grabs kids at the border who disappear, and the administration’s laughable lack of confidence has put the coverup on display for everyone to see.

It’s not just Epstein. Do you think Trump just gave up on his favorite pastime after he and Epstein had a falling out? He’s the most powerful person in the world, and he has zero self-control. Where are his new victims coming from?

Simple explanation. When all the guards simultaneously fell asleep, one of them accidentally cut the power to the security system.

You can’t expect the Justice Department to provide footage that was never recorded in a freak accident that is totally not suspicious at all. It’s not like Epstein had mountains of dirt on the wealthiest and most evil people on the planet doing unspeakably horrible things to innocent children.

We should all just accept this ridiculous story as true and let the rich evil people get back to doing… whatever it was they were doing. I’ve already forgotten

Forget Gaza. The West Bank won’t exist in 4 years. It’ll all be Trump hotels and resorts.

The best part is that when they manage to fuck up on an industrial scale and crash their insider trading money printer, the taxpayers end up bailing them out.

The whole world suffers, and they use the people’s money to buy the dip and profit even more when the fixed game comes back online shortly.

These cases make the headlines, but they must be casually searching electronics and getting all kinds of private data, photos, videos, etc. They unlock your phone and download everything for their amusement and to violate your rights later. The fact that they’ll fuck with a lawyer to get his client’s info says volumes about the restraint being shown.

It might still feel like everything is normal in the US, but realize that you’re living in a fascist state in its infancy. The rule of law no longer applies.

IIRC, RFK’s stances on health issues were mostly based on a conspiracy theory that the institutions he now leads were deliberately burying studies and mass amounts of data. If that were true, he’d obviously be crowing about it at every opportunity.

Instead, he found out that his conspiracy theories are bullshit, and that he’s now beholden to Trump and MAGA fascism. He’s going to accidentally say something against the narrative from time-to-time. I’m sure Trump or Elon or whoever is in charge will make him do something humiliating to atone for it.

Don’t get me wrong, though. I’m not defending RFK, Jr. it’s extremely sad that the apple fell so very far from the tree.

It’s a good time to get out of the US anyway, before you end up in an El Salvadoran gulag. At least until they build the same gulags in the US. Those might even be worse.

Part of me wants it all to burn to the fucking ground. Maybe something better comes out of the ashes.

Bullock continues: “[Bukele] brags about the ways that they use cruel and inhumane treatment in CECOT and our organization has documented amply systematic practices of torture generally in the prison system. So the United States, in doing this, is generating a point of inflection for the international human rights system. The outcome of this is basically the creation of this transnational penal colony where a president, a head of state, can make a deal with President Bukele and disappear undesirables indefinitely.”

Right now “undesirables” are technically limited to Venezuelan immigrants who may or may not have tattoos. Does anyone actually think that definition isn’t going to be expanded? All non-white immigrants, trans people, gay people, those who speak out against these Nazis?

Eventually, they’ll just start building prisons in the US off of the El Salvadoran model. They’ve already adopted the same practices for imprisonment without cause and without any right to a defense once an accusation is made.

I’m wondering if Trump’s corporate backers are tired of winning yet. Who knows what other wins are coming from the mad king in the future. I’m sure they’ll get tired eventually.

Looks like the Starlink election cheat bug got patched.
