I can't finish the thing - at least not until sometime in January. "The thing", in this instance, is a Fallout fiction about the situation on the East Coast about 5 years after Fallout 4, and they're about to add a whole area to Fallout 76 that can either simplify my plan, or complicate it further.

“This is not about drugs, it’s not about Venezuela, it’s not about anything else but this new assertion by the president that the U.S. military will kill anyone he points at, for any reason he deems sufficient.”

Very true and very scary comment by Tom Nichols.

Every one of these headlines is a damned masterpiece

The Democrats need to get a hell of a lot of cameras on the White House and plaster the photos everywhere. It's not just the brazen symbol of a megalomaniac destroying national heritage; it's happening during a government shutdown when ordinary people aren't getting paid. Make every American see it.

Can we just tow the Uvalde PD way the hell out to sea and let them quietly sink, glub glub glub?

I see we've reached the *literally demolishing the White House* phase of the second Trump presidency.

Trump sharing that obscene video was totally disgusting. Any regular person could say as much.

It's genuinely pathetic to see elected leaders like Speaker Johnson twisting themselves into pretzels to put on a show for the President like this.
Q: What does it say that president released a video of him pooping on the American people?

MIKE JOHNSON: You can argue he's probably the most effective person who has ever used social media. He's using satire to make a point. He's not calling for the murder of his political opponents.
That's my biggest objection, yeah. I can't even bring it up during the argument!

There’s a limit to the “imagine if Obama” retort but Christ on a cracker the man is *literally* demolishing the White House!
If Obama or Biden or Clinton had demolished a significant part of the White House to build a privately funded edition that they commissioned and approved without public input they would have been summarily impeached.
Scoop: Trump has started demolishing the White House's East Wing facade to build his ballroom. The president had claimed construction of the $250 million building wouldn’t ‘interfere’ with the existing White House structure. /W @ddiamond.bsky.social wapo.st/4hqBNiU

So it's too expensive to extend health care tax credits that millions of families rely on but not too expensive to spend $200 million on private jets for Kristi Noem?

These corrupt grifters are robbing taxpayers blind.
Noem Approves Spending $200 Million to Buy Jets During Shutdown
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem authorized the Coast Guard to spend $200 million as soon as Friday on luxury jets as the government shutdown edges into its fourth week.

New: A DOJ lawyer claimed Alina Habba's appointment was "consistent with longstanding practice."

But a Third Circuit judge asked him to name another time a U.S. attorney was seated this way.

"Well, I guess I cannot," the lawyer said.
DOJ defends Alina Habba’s unusual appointment before skeptical Third Circuit
Government attorneys tried to defend Habba’s appointment as the top federal prosecutor in New Jersey, which a lower court deemed unlawful in August.

You may be living in an absolutely racist country when 13-year-old Black boys are tried and sentenced as adults, but white dudes who *are* adults are called "kids" by JD Vance to shield them from culpability.

Elaborating b/c there's a lot of misunderstanding on this.

Insurrection Act does nothing except you can then use soldiers as cops. They can enforce laws, but they're the same old laws. It doesn't suspend the Constitution. No martial law, no closing courts, no removing state officials, none of that.
Even if he did, which I'd bet is likelier than not, none of this is true. The Insurrection Act is not a declaration of martial law. It doesn't close the courts. It doesn't suspend habeas corpus. It means you can use the military to enforce federal laws, but the laws themselves remain the same.
Trump: "I'm allowed as you know as president, like 50% of the presidents have used the Insurrection Act. Everybody agrees you're allowed to use that and there is no more court cases, there is no more anything. We're trying to do it in a nicer manner, but we can always use the Insurrection Act."
