It’s Monday. There are 596 days until the midterm elections. A(nother) constitutional crisis, the fascists silence Voice of America and the dicktator says Biden’s pardons don’t count.
I would be screaming and crying and cursing again right now after reading this and other news this morning, but I'm also playing with a funny, happy dog and laughing so that helps. Every morning I wake up, when I can sleep through the night without maggot horrors, and think, did something good finally happen? And then I find out that the wished for lightning bolts or choking cheeseburgers have not yet worked. My sister said she wants to learn how to do voodoo.
If any of us were running around the world acting this erratic & talking so much nonsense, we'd be on a 5150 hold for evaluation. Instead, this jackass is being treated like a god. I've been saying this would happen since 2015. I wake up every single morning hoping to read his obituary.
JD needs to go back to romancing his couch & shut the fuck up. HOW does he have time to be on TV every Sunday. As Vp, shouldn't he be busier?!? FUCK I'm not going to make 4 years of this bullshit. 🤬🤬🤬
The only reason we see Trump signing anything is because (my belief) that’s literally his only task.
I don’t know who’s actually running things, probably someone from Federalist or Heritage, someone in Russia (I personally don’t think Elon is at the tip top). Trump only signs what they put in front of him.
On the alt right corner, we have the RAGE (DOGE) Network State that Elon wants to be CEO of this network continent of N America. Heading up this cast of villains: Curtis Yarvin aka Mencius Moldbug, Balaji Srinivasan, Marc Andreeson, Peter Thiel, J D Vance.
On the other Reich, er I mean, right corner, we have the Heritage Foundation, the ChristoFascist state. Running their Project 2025 playbook from Paul Dans and Kevin Roberts, exactly to plan.
I’m hoping they crush each other, but I’m sure they will take quite a few of us down in the process.
Oh, and where is Trump in all of this you ask, he’s just the tired, old, dementia patient they will get rid of as soon as he becomes inconvenient.
Note 18: It seems as if I should remind everyone that Donald Trump is ALREADY responsible for more than twice the number of American deaths that occurred in WWII, because of the way that fucking JEENYUSS handled Covid.
I just listened to an interview with Anthony Davis and Jared Yates Sexton. It all makes sense in the context of history. Schumer represents a ‘beholdness’ to the elites as do many Democrats. We were bound to arrive at this point given the gaslighting of our own history, the way we have treated other countries and their citizens, the way we treat immigrants and so on. But, Jared Sexton also tells us that these guys are so inexperienced as ‘politicians’ that they don’t pretend to care. And their brazen BS is what will be there undoing sooner rather than later. Everyone should listen to that interview. Thank you Adam.
The word now is that Rasha Alawieh had pictures "favorable to Hezbollah" on her phone. Some were (gasp) DELETED. First, apparently Customs DOES have the right to search one's phone, even without a reasonable suspicion. But what exactly is "favorable to Hezbollah?" She IS Lebanese and Israel DID invade her country. Were the pictures actually in favor of terrorism, or just happy that someone was trying to stop Israel? We are into "being Pro Palestinian is being Pro Hamas" territory here.
Did Customs really think that she was entering the US to nefariously kill off kidney transplant patients while wearing a hijab? It would seem that if one is to do a terrorist act, it would be more useful with a group that has better life expectancy. My own nephrologist wears a hijab and she is GREAT.
Unlike trump's claim that he can magically declassify docs with a wave of a wand, the president's pardon power doesn't actually require a signature. At all. Auto pen or using #signed.
Thank you, thank you for being here. Cussing right now is the only appropriate way to talk about things.
Yesterday, Virginia 05 (rural and red) held a town hall. John McGuire, our representative, was invited also. He didnt show, but the SRO crowd had plenty to say to him!
Let's not assume that the midterm elections will make a difference even if the Democrats win one or both houses. Let's no even assume there will be midterm elections. A dictator ignores laws he doesn't like.
There are so many things distracting us from the only issue we should be focusing on. That is Trump being poised to ignore laws and court rulings he doesn't like. Today I wrote about this in "How much friggen evidence do Congressional Republicans need to admit they supported a ruthless dictator who will soon ignore the law at will? It isn't only MAGA Republicans, it is Democrats clinging to hopes that Trump won't be as bad as he will be." Here: https://halbrown.substack.com/p/how-much-friggen-evidence-do-congressional
If people aren't thinking about what Hitler did in his blitzgrieg to conquer Europe in 1939 and how the US didn't enter the war until Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941 they should be. The democratic homeland we cherish has been invaded and occupied. Like the Allies in WWII, we are in for a very long battle until our D-Day.
" Trump invoked the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 so he could start deporting people faster, including a planeload of alleged criminals."
SP's let that sink in. Our military went along with that very illegal order. From the top of the chain to the boots performing the tasks. So when the fascists order them to start "rounding up the "usual suspects", I'm guessing they're going to do that too.
What the fuck?? (times about 8 million or so) I always thought they got rid of the lawyers first - opps, my bad, we're going have doctors and anyone who has a scientific interest leaving, either willingly or unwillingly. Fuck. Fuck. I really wish my label for the trumpers would catch on ("NAPS" - Nazi American Party). I hate MAGA, sounds like they're "magnificent" - NAPS shows them for what they are, plus it adds a kick of "asleep." Pardons can't be undone. But, like everything else, laws are being thrown out, ignored, whatever. Democrats can't find their way out of a paperbag. Schumer is a wolf in sheep's clothing, as is Newsom. What does the orange blob have on all these people? And people wonder why I'm bitchy and depressed - the whole think is going to hell in a handbasket. (sorry, didn't mean to rant) (wait, yes I did mean to do so)
Thank you, again, for an in-depth cover of the weekend's news. Hard to read, but I would rather be informed than just pretending everything is okay. It's not, and you keep me riled up and focused. Love that.
10:30 AM ET Update: Chuck Schumer has canceled his...town halls: https://bsky.app/profile/adamparkhomenko.bsky.social/post/3lklerrznvc2o
Fuck Chuck.
Trump cannot undo Biden’s pardons.
Good luck with that. Just blowing smoke for another distraction.
He'll try...
I’m pretty sure that trump didn’t personally sign the 1600 J6’rs pardons either.

You’re too funny. I wake every morning hoping to read the orange con’s obit. Preferably involving an assault weapon.
FUCK CHUCK
If it quakes like a Chuck, cowers like a Chuck, and sucks like a Chuck, then it probably is a Chuck.
These are not the golden years I was expecting.

I agree. He's just a puppet or a wind up toy.
My theory?

I call them MAGAts (maggots) but I can get on board with NAPS.

Re Note #16 Hmmm, reminds me, I wonder what His Heinous F34 did with the $$$$$$$, he fundraised for hurricane relief?
