I'm amending this from a response to be a pinned post.
Trump ..."lied, like every person I've watched speak on the right side of the aisle, spouting talking points, claiming them as fact, and using logical fallacies like infinite ammunition in a game of wreck the government Grand Theft America?"

Mike Johnson is writing the House out of the Constitution.

And John Roberts is, thus far, OK with that.

Bluesky isn't dying, nor are companies who work to make data matter. If you have a need reach out, but at the end of the day we are all only as good as someone who fights.

As a former service member, and a disabled veteran, if you ask soldiers of any sort to sit and watch bullshit, expect mockery. It's demanded by course because our entire lives are shot sandwiches that are only survivable thanks to unhealthy amounts of caffeine and gallows humor.

🔥 @vicmensa.bsky.social : “I see a lot of you still drinking the kool-aid of racial division… The same motherf**kers running detention centers own private prisons (Core Civic & Geo Group). They maxed out Trump’s campaign, and they’re making billions from this, bruh. Be informed.”

Whooooooo.

MR. KHOJASTEH: Your Honor, with respect, do you
doubt the fact that a retainer [sic] is in place in -- a
detainer is in place?
THE COURT: I absolutely doubt the fact until I see
it. Because you know what? You all have taken a position over
and over again that you have done things lawfully, and then a
witness gets on the stand yesterday and admits you haven't done
it lawfully.
MR. KHOJASTEH: What did the witness say yesterday
that was unlawfully?
THE COURT: I'm not here to answer your questions,
sir. You're here to answer mine.

More amusing that simultaneously the card payers and banks are starting to act nervous around the mention of porn.

Well one good thing about the Trump 2 Admin, is that it will give Lawschools, legal scholars, and judges dozens of years of examples... and we're only 9 months in.

Just sent a letter to my state bar, asking them how we might amend the SC Bar to allow for "reading the law" as a method to becoming a barred lawyer.

In Speaker Johnson’s district, people would see their health care premiums skyrocket $2,284 per month if Republicans refuse to protect health care.

Republicans are making their own constituents poorer and sicker.

Let’s be clear: the Republican shutdown continues because the Republican Speaker dares not bring back the House to face an Epstein vote they would lose and a divided caucus with vulnerables who want to extend Affordable Care credits and MAGAloons who won’t.

Confirmed, the "Gaza peace deal" was the same deal offered to Netanyahu and the US repeatdly, but it was turned down by Israel because they wanted to gift Trump (Israeli asset) a perceived victory at the expense of the Israeli hostages and Gaza population.

Major news outlets are standing together and refusing to sign. ABC News, CBS News, CNN, Fox News, and NBC News have all rejected a new Pentagon policy that would impose unprecedented restrictions on news gathering.

It's also a direct violation of the Hatch Act.

WatchYourRepsSC @watchyourrepssc.bsky.social · 3d

The DHS propaganda video blaming Democrats for the shutdown is peak hypocrisy from the party that fired federal workers and now threatens to fire more. They gut paychecks, spread lies, and call it freedom. It’s political thuggery. Call it out.
