Posse Comitatus Act: This law prohibits the use of U.S. military forces for domestic law enforcement purposes unless OKed by the Constitution or Congress. Trump sending troops to our cities was illegal. The troops were required by law to refuse to go. Lay the victims at Trump's bone-spurred feet.

Two civilians illegally called to active National Guard duty on American city streets are shot. Trump responds: Send 500 more troops to D.C. That's like if the fox gets in the hen house and kills the hens, well then by Christ send in more hens!

This Trump attack on Mark Kelly is insane. The Code of Military Justice says very plainly that servicepersons "shall not follow illegal orders" and may be "liable for prosecution if they do." Get your fat Trumpy fingers off that loyal American.

A Georgia prosecutor asked a judge tp dismiss Trump's case for overthrowing the 2020 election, arguing, “It is not illegal to question or challenge election results.” But Trump asked the state's Attorney General to "find 11,000 votes." That's rigging the election. A judge dismissed the case anyway.

The French are up in arms because a general said they must be prepared to "lose our children" if Russia attacks them. They should take a look at Ukraine and the children the Ruskies have blown to pieces. With the US backing away, France--and all of Europe=--needs to understand the stakes.

Eric Swalwell just announced he's running for Governor of California. He's like Gavin Newsom without the glitz. And a really good guy. While Gavin would make a fine President, so would Josh Shapiro of Pennsylvania. Dems will be offering us a smorgasbord of top quality.

BRAVO to the NY Times for printing Anand Giridharadas' electric article today headlined: "How the Elite Behave When No One Is Watching: inside the Epstein Emails." The writer read through the latest tranche of emails and discovered a world of corruption, evil, and self-service. Pulitzer time IMHO.

Trump has not only damaged our country, he has dishonored it by handing Ukraine an ultimatum demanding it submit to Putin's "peace" terms. He's sold out America to Russia, given the finger to our allies in Europe, destroyed any trust others may have in us, and proved us unworthy of leadership.

Trump says Dems urging military to refuse to obey illegal orders commit "treason and should be executed."

The Uniform Code of Military Justice: "Service members have a duty to refuse illegal orders. An illegal order is one that violates the Constitution, U.S. laws, or international law."

A DUTY!

According to today's NY Times, the CDC no longer rejects the link between vaccines and autism, despite the science that disproves such a link. So now reality is whatever goons like RFK Jr. says it is. But the truth is that vaccines save lives. Millions upon millions of lives. Worldwide.

I have three questions about the impending release of the Epstein files:

1) Have they been scrubbed clean of any mention of Trump, and if so, who did the scrubbing?

2) Will Republicans hang up the files' release in procedural and legal snares?

PLUS: Can we have a date certain for the release?

"Republicans embraced the bill (to release the Epstein files), claiming they supported it all along. In their upside-down telling, Trump had consistently fought for the release of the Epstein files." --NY Times 11/18/25

Even when they do the right thing, they lie about it.

Passports must now reflect the sex on a person’s original birth certificate whether that matches the person’s gender identity. --NY Times

So now your gender is defined by King Trump, no matter what you think or how you choose to look. One thing that will never change is that Trump is an asshole.

Kash Patel, the F.B.I. director, said on Sunday that “far too many” people were arrested in connection with the Jan. 6, 2021, riot at the U.S. Capitol.

Right, Kash--you dick. Maybe just the ones who shit on legislators' desks?

Zac Segal, president of the Boston University College Republicans, sicced ICE on nine workers at a Boston carwash who were then detained. "Just saving American jobs," he explained. Just being a tight-assed little snitch, I'd say.

Trump Escalates Pressure on Venezuela, but Endgame Is Unclear -- Headline in today's NY Times.

It's clear to me: Trump gins up a phony war in Venezuela so he will be "a war president" for the 2026 midterms and 2028. "You can't hamstring a war president in the middle of a war!!!" he'll whine.

In a 1943 psychological profile, Dr. Henry Murray described Hitler's personality characteristics as including:

Grudges and low tolerance for criticism.

An excessive need for attention and a tendency to blame others.

A desire for revenge and persistence in the face of defeat.

Sound familiar?

Current way to express astonishment: Holy shit!

Former ways: Gee whiz! Jeepers creepers! Gee whillikers!

Take-away: Fewer but more disgusting words. All the "gee" sounds were substitutes for "Jesus." Now we go straight to the feces.

Rev. Lori Walke, minister of a Southern Baptist church camp, says that the obsession with girls' purity was overwhelming. "The rules around girls' clothing were obsessed over." If girls’ purity and clothing are obsessed over, the people doing the obsessing are way too interested in those things.

Well finally! The lid is coming off the garbage can and everything the MAGA right and Trump have blamed on the Democrats turns out to be the crimes of MAGA and Trump.
Remember Pizza Gate when Hillary was supposed to be running an underage sex trafficking ring? The Biden "crime family?" Etc.?

Can we please now stop pretending Trump is not a rapist and child molester? What awaits him in prison will be justice administered by the criminally insane.
