There is absolutely no bottom. They will kill and murder and steal and break the law and laugh at every rule and institution until they are stopped. They think they are all-powerful and all conventional rules of morality and legality do not apply to them.

In case you’re wondering why Pete Hegseth is freaking out about a congressional video reminding the military not to participate in illegal orders:
To put a finer point on this whole thing: "Two people with direct knowledge of the operation" — presumably uniformed military leaders — are accusing the U.S. Secretary of Defense of personally ordering specific war crimes. That's a historic accusation.
Textbook war crime/extrajudicial killing
"Two survivors were clinging to the smoldering wreck. The Special Operations commander overseeing the Sept. 2 attack ... ordered a second strike to comply with Hegseth’s instructions."

Imagine being so far gone into Trumpism/Republicanism that you would say this to someone who was shot in the head in an act of political violence.

It would have been a perfect opportunity for an “ I know you are but what am I?”
I’ve been thinking and it’s kind of exceptional that not a single person said “Hey now” after the piggy comment.

Do really think the blame of a prolonged shutdown would not eventually trickle down to Dems?
Not a political consultant but I’m not sure “standing up to trump doesn’t work” is the best midterm message, even if if accurately represents senate dems position. Not much point in putting you in power then bsky.app/profile/atru...

Right now, the public doesn’t blame the Dems for the shutdowns. As it drags on and people begin to suffer more, blame will leak to the Dems, be it reasonable or not.
FWIW a lot of people are now taking on the Trump position that the Tuesday elections were about the shutdown specifically, as opposed to a more general repudiation of Trump. I'm skeptical.

The shutdown is fun for Trump because he gets to throw lavish Gatsby-themed parties for his millionaire friends AND invent new and innovative ways to hurt poor people.

May these men have agonizing ends to their miserable lives
I'm shaking almost too hard to type. I entered SLC airport and heard screams and cries for help. I could see people gathered around, watching. I sped over to discover this woman face down on the floor, four grown men pushing her down, while she cried "HELP ME" and pled for her child.

Donald Trump is now officially demolishing part of the White House to make room for his $200 million golden ballroom.
This comes as Americans can’t afford groceries and the government is still shut down.

Clearer than ever that the Epstein Files are what could bring this all crashing down and they're trying to get everything fascisted up before anyone can make that happen
Rep. Johnny Olszewski D-MD (lower left) tried but failed to get recognized on the House floor today to get Rep.-elect Adelita Grijalva D-AZ sworn in. Speaker Johnson has refused to seat Grijalva for more than 3 weeks. "This is wrong and you know it Mr. Speaker."

If you don’t raise racists or Nazis, probably don’t need to worry about racist or fascist text messages from your kids
It's telling that Vance's first instinct following the Politico leak was to tell his sons to be wary of what they write in group chats--to assume “some scumbag is going to leak it in an effort to try to cause you harm.”
His message here is basically--be racist; just don't get caught.
