Just a quick note - America is paying for painting the "down" side of the wall. The "upside" is not getting painted black.
Also .... nighttime comes every twelve hours.
The 'too hot' months are about 4-5 months out of the year.
We are governed by morons.

"The United States paid nothing for these Shares" is an interesting way of describing "the U.S. released $8.9B in CHIPS funding intended for Intel in exchange for $8.9B in stock."
Perhaps Congress could've demanded shares for CHIPS money, but POTUS adding this ad hoc is simply unconstitutional.

Pam Bondi releasing Maxwell interview transcripts is like Bill Barr going on tv to say Mueller found nothing. They’re muddying the water instead of releasing the Epstein files.

This is something we will see more and more of. The main protections against both arbitrary and systematic violations are not laws, which provide capacious grounds for discretion, but _internal norms and standards_ which have been systematically trashed.

I suspect the John Bolton thing is less likely a show trial than a show investigation. The powers of the FBI/DOJ/prosecutors provide the ability to systematically persecute people for years, ruining their lives and costing them enormous amounts of money in legal fees with little recourse.

The same right-wing pundit clowns who spent years peddling Epstein conspiracies are now quoting Ghislaine Maxwell, a convicted child trafficker, like she’s scripture. No shame, no dignity, just grift and lies.

Masked raids are tools of fear, not freedom. Despite what this administration wants you to believe, they are not about “safety.” They are about letting ICE agents hide from accountability while carrying out inhumane acts.

Loyalty over competence.
Brilliant! Let’s LOWER standards at the FBI—because who needs elite, highly trained agents investigating terrorism, corruption, and organized crime? FBI Dir. Kash Patel is a genius!
