this fucking embarrassing schlub.

an interesting OP.ED

“It was just assumed that Congress will jealously guard its prerogatives and impeach and remove any president who exceeded the boundaries of the constitution. But in our current political system, that is a seemingly impossible task.“So we face the prospect of a lawless authoritarian continuing to act for the next three and a half years, and there’s a great deal of damage he can do in that time.”

They refuse to go against the cult.  Now if it’s Vance, checks and balances will be back like Alf in POG form, but no one wants to cross Dear Leader.

yeah, the "two weeks" buffer has been consistently overplayed throughout the tariff "negotiations" so I don't believe it at all

Things would be so much worse if he weren’t a narcissist coward

He would if it wasn't already Flag Day.  He's probably trying to figure out how he can celebrate his birthday on another day in the year, like the late Queen of England,

This is one of his most “old man yelling at clouds” tweets in a while. Not even sure what “every once working day” even means?

[Insipid]

There are far more batshit conspiracy theories out there, so:

Putin: "Cyka, you better not help Israel or the world will be exposed to veritable proof of what you exactly did on Epstein Island."

Trump: "Two week recess."

Don't anyone introduce the dunce to 'Alice in Wonderland'. He'll be declaring unbirthdays left, right and sideways.

If he really wants to fuck up Iran, he should just go over there and be their president for a few months

 

afterthought here, you know he'd jizz in his catheter if anyone ever referred to him as the "supreme leader"

Still working for me.  Try going on Bluesky @Chadloder and look for a short vid of a black SUV backing up with it's door open.

A WRITTEN SUMMARY!

imagine you're watching a cell phone video of an unattended, unmarked SUV with no plates that was left in reverse on a suburban-looking street with palm trees

the unmarked SUV slowly rolls backwards with its driver door ajar - the presumption being that the driver jumped out in a real hurry (shock and awe?)

after five seconds, you hear the dull thud, scraping of metal, and creaking of the hinge as the SUV's door makes contact and runs along the side of a parked car (taking out the car's side mirror in the process) over the course of six seconds after which the door hinge tries to snap back from its over-extension

at this point, the vehicle is about to reverse into the intersection with the main street as a man in a black t-shirt with a tactical vest frantically runs back to the SUV to jump in and slam the brake

as he drives the vehicle forward, you see him try fruitlessly to close the door - its overextension in the collision makes it impossible - and then the video ends as the driver parallel parks the SUV

 

[discolé monade]

nah. it wants me to sign in/up. 

i'm good. but i don't doubt the scenerio. i want to see the ICE glitter vehicles.

*edit, ty pat. lol....fantastic. can't make this shit up.

I could be wrong, but I think the SUV was a Range Rover.  Hope it was a rental, cause you know the administration ain't gonna pay the bill to fix it - it will all be on the cosplay bounty hunter.

Unfortunately, sounds like ICE will just detain and try to deport him once again even if he gets released by the court. Of course the government already appealed this ruling, but the judge already acknowledged given the circumstances it's little more than an academic exercise what the court determines regarding his detention. Makes me wonder why they even bothered filing charges against him, but then I know it's just all just a show to them to try and save some face from having to give in and bring him back at all. Just stomach turning how they've used this case to make a complete mockery of the court system and turned this man's life into a sad spectacle.

Remembering back in the late 80s when a friend at college said she was thinking about going overseas some day.  I got a weird feeling & told her that she should be very careful, because I could see a time when Americans would be seen as the root of all the world's problems.

Seems like that time is very, very close.

My Afghan friend's sister is currently on a flight back to Afghanistan. I am very worried. 😬

There are no direct flights to Afghanistan because of Trump's travel ban, so she will transfer in Istanbul.

Eventually, they'll rule that the existence of SCOTUS is unnecessary and disband themselves.

This is like the 2nd or 3rd time this SC has allowed fucked up behavior to continue, I guess until they hear the case and make a decision themselves. This court is a fuckin disgrace and there has got to be a way to throw puppet justices off the bench 

[Raptorpat]

it was a shadow docket decision, no written opinion necessary

 maga have led so many folks to think politics are inherently troublesome to discuss and it’s better to avoid talking political discussions entirely 

 

the problem is politics dictate our lives our society  we can’t ignore them and avoid talking about them 

Im tired of people thinking you can just pretend politics don’t exist and it won’t bother you
