people will say the framers never could have predicted this, but that's not true at all, they absolutely *did* expect someone like trump, they thought congress would *stop* him, and they thought they made that clear

At some point you'd think all those Fraternal Orders of Police would say "this is demeaning to the vital work we do, part of which is respecting people's rights" but that's not going to happen because they agree with him, to them the job is being a thin-skinned bully and shooting people.
Q: "Do you believe that deadly force was necessary?"
Trump: "It was highly disrespectful of law enforcement. The woman and her friend were highly disrespectful of law enforcement…Law enforcement should not be in a position where they have to put up with this stuff."

brunch moms talkin' to i.c.e. like, "i will drink a mimosa from your skull if you don't get the fuck out of my city"
the DSA, the Federal Reserve, and the ladies who lunch have formed a popular front — it remains only to see if any elected Democrats will join them.

Related to this, if the next president is a Democrat, they shouldn't ask for the gifts back. Hire the plane reposessor to take the plane. Freeze any bank account that might have a gift in it. Send in the FBI to get the gold bars. Etc.
I’ll say it for the millionth time but we need to make section 1983 apply to federal officers because Bivens is useless and need to get rid of prosecutorial immunity. These people should be financially ruined at the very least for these bullshit investigations.

we have been way too tolerant of cowards: we should be demanding that far more people in power who claim to be against the murderous evil of MAGA meet the standard currently being demonstrated by Jerome Fucking Powell
Jerome Powell: "This is about whether the Fed will be able to continue to set interest rates based on evidence and economic conditions—or whether instead monetary policy will be directed by political pressure or intimidation."

ICE totaled this car, abducted a woman, and then left it in the middle of Snelling Avenue, one of the busiest streets in the Twin Cities.
This isn’t law and order, this state sanctioned terrorism. It’s fucking disgusting.

what normie liberals need to understand is that 2024 was a rejection of lesser evilism, and their continued support of a lesser evil will result in more of what we're now seeing.
what aspiring d politicians need to understand is we aren't doing lesser evil anymore, so you're gonna have to get good

The sign on Kristi Noem's podium reads "One of ours, all of yours." The reader will recall that this was a fascist rallying cry in the Spanish Civil War. What it means is that one of "our" people is worth all of "your" people.

there's a desperation to slam the lid shut on our teetering democratic system. theres an urgency because they fear, probably correctly, that their existence has become such that a society of free people can no longer tolerate them. it's their pile of money or us, and they're choosing their money
