Based on the principle that every accusation is a confession, we can be confident that Republicans don't stop at stop signs and don't know which side of the road to drive on.

We already know that they defraud the American People.

They do this to tie the admiral to the administration. Now he has a choice - to back the administration, or to face possible war crimes consequences. This is how authoritarians gain compliance. The longer they're in power, the more entrenched they become.

We'll know that the republic is headed toward restoration because Pete Hegseth is on trial for multiple murders.
A most important question on the Sept. 2 double-tap strike is who had "target engagement authority" (TEA).

Wall Street Journal:

"A Defense Department official ... said Hegseth was the 'target engagement authority,' the key figure who authorized the strike."

The Democrats who are opposed to impeaching Hegseth for cold blooded, premeditated murder should be exposed and primaried.

If murder isn't the line in the sand - what is?
Rep. Shri Thanedar told Axios he's considering introducing articles of impeachment against Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth over reports he authorized a 2nd strike on a purported drug boat in the Caribbean.

This is very good. I like to remind people that headlines in the 80s would (regularly!) talk about people who drank lattes or ate sushi as exotic, self-indulgent yuppies with obscure tastes. Media constantly made fun of “haute cuisine” meals with tiny portions because fine dining was bad.
This is actually quite brilliant, up to and including the final sentence 🔥

They are still - still! - trying to triangulate between the votes and the money.

All the money is in authoritarianism. The money might be getting jaded on Trump, but it still wants patriarchal, white supremacist christofascism.

Those reaching out to the money will never restore the republic.

See "remigration"

Think "ethnic cleansing"
November 30, 2025 at 4:17 PM
Don't really need to ask - there are more than enough dots to connect. They mean ethnic cleansing and they're planning a genocide of the non-white people in the US.
Kristi Noem refuses to directly answer a question about what Trump means by "remigration" -- a word that, as Kristen Welker notes, is often invoked by white nationalists in Europe

I don't practice federal law or nothing, so don't quote me on this...

But I'm pretty sure that there's a federal statute forbidding murder.

At a recent gathering, friend was going to make fries. I had prepared an incredible dip - but friend ate all the dip with crackers before even starting the fries! I said:

Hello. My name is Arthur Marx.

You killed my dip.

Prepare to fry.
I've seen dips you people can't imagine. Aioli glittering with minced garlic. Puddles of soluble oils atop unstirred hummus. All these moments will be lost like tears in rain.

The most openly racist, eugenicist monsters are running the U.S. They will use every opportunity to advance their agenda.

And as the wheels come off their regime they will only grow more brutal and obscene. These are dangerous days for us all.

This is so far into virulent racism, there can be no normalization of this. For a long time, people have said we're on the road to a new Nazi regime. Well, here we are. If you were ever planning to fight violent fascism, the time is now.

It's crystal clear that the Trump administration wants to do ethnic cleansing, to make a white America.

This kind of overt racism and expressed desire to get rid of a class of people ends up with mass murder.

Reasonable people should do everything possible to oppose the Trump administration.

Al Gore was an absolute boy scout. Highly qualified, capable and (as far as I know) ethical. The corporate media made him out to be a liar - out of whole cloth. They called him an elitist and foisted on us the son of a president, grandson of an investment banker and Senator...
It's wholesome and oddly depressing to me that Al Gore, 77, not owing anyone shit, is still criss-crossing the globe full-time warning people about climate change, raising money for climate projects, mentoring the next generation of environmentalists, and generally being obsessed with this issue.

If I talk about "malice", it means one thing to non-lawyers, another thing in first Amendment law and a third, very different thing in criminal law.

Context matters.

Ya gotta know who you're talking to if you want to communicate.

Human memory is context dependent, you remember things best when you can place it into multiple contexts, several different angles.

The people who are currently most undermining domestic tranquility are the MAGA racists and GOP politicians.

And no, even they should not be denaturalized. They're our problem and we should deal with them - not foist them off onto the rest of the world.
