Look at this hiring ad for ICE. Imagine what kind of goons this will appeal to.

I wish I had a snappy comeback but I don’t. He should at least feign ignorance and have it removed.

Should we give him the benefit of the doubt? Young, dumb, drunk and in the wrong tattoo shop. I wonder if he even knew it was an SS insignia until recently.
Look in your closets everyone. Is there anything cringeworthy?

He was plastered and went to the wrong tattoo shop.

Take 5 minutes and do a search on SS insignia. I don’t think he’s a Nazi. I think he and his buds got hammered and went to the wrong tattoo parlor.

I was all set to call bs and then I did some searching. I think the guy was drunk and went to the wrong tattoo parlor.

Steven Miller and Russ Vought keeping Trump busy while they run the country.

Since those are all “executive orders” can’t Trump just change them at will? Sure he’s being an a—-hole but is he actually violating any laws?

BTW thanks for this description of the process.

This is a marathon not a sprint. The GOP worked for decades to politicize the Supreme Court. Decades.
I think you’re doing great. Don’t get discouraged and always vote. 👍

You have a “compound”?

I sympathize completely but I’ve been praying for a Porsche for about a month now and I still don’t see one in my driveway. What’s going on?

That’s like saying Hitler wasn’t a dictator because he was elected.

This is the best political news I’ve seen in a very long time — so please pass it on👇

Each state can limit Citizens United in their own state & they don’t have to wait for other states to do it.

“We found over 35 cases in which the judges have specifically said what the government is providing…false information. It might be intentionally false information, including false sworn declarations time and again," says Ryan Goodman, law professor at New York University.

So the other day, Ukrainian forces killed a Russian special forces unit and captured their gear.
Rifle is an AK105.
—"Sureshot Armament Group SS19;
— Thermal sight Infratech IT-615;
— Handguard Sureshot Armament Group MK1;
— Laser designator SOT ASPID-M;
— Muzzle brake StalkerDTK T5;"

A group of Russian saboteurs was destroyed.

In the territories of Kharkiv, Sumy, and Chernihiv regions, a group from the 3rd Directorate of the Special Purpose Center "SENEZH" was conducting terrorist raids.

But soon the Russian breakthrough attempt received a harsh response: fighters of the DPSU special unit "DOZOR" and the 105th Territorial Defense Brigade, together with other units, crushed the enemy group and eliminated its commander.

Enemy losses amounted to: six killed and eight wounded.

Some call signs of the Russian special forces have been identified: Teacher (commander), Jambul, Varus, Griga, Voron, Harley, Filin, Armen, Fakir, Hacker, Henry, Khrust.

Reference: The Special Purpose Center "Senezh", military unit 92154 of the Russian Armed Forces, is a military unit that trains servicemen for the Russian Special Operations Forces. It is subordinate to the General Staff of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation.

Just want to thank everyone again, who is out there protesting today!

There are many of us that are too disabled or too sick to be there with you (physically or virtually), and your presence out there means a lot to me.

Please keep each other safe, well-fed, and hydrated!

But I hope you’re right. The markets are being propped up by AI and all of us retirees are going to get the shaft if/when it tanks.

Tom Recane @trecane.bsky.social · 2d

Sorry Ryan. This situation smells exactly like the dot com bubble. Tons of money spent and not a whole helluva lot to show for it.

Tom Recane @trecane.bsky.social · 2d

Yes boys and girls. He really is that dumb.
