Disenchanted American. It's not the fall of democracy that's important, it's the friends we've made along the way.
What a shameful day to be an American. The country that I loved is gone.

I'm thinking about installing a flagpole in my front yard for the express purpose of flying the flag at full staff when that fucker dies.

Flying flags half-staff for 30 days after the death of a former president was put in place by President Dwight Eisenhower 70 years ago in 1954 & has been done for every president since that time until this Monday when Mike Johnson will end that tradition at Donald Trump’s demand.

Wow. If we still had a country left, I'd find this upsetting. He'll probably make it on Mt. Rushmore after all; if they have to blast off the faces of the other presidents to do it.
Mike Johnson announces that the flags over the Capitol will be raised to full staff for Trump’s inauguration.

No other man or woman elected to the highest office of the United States would be psychologically damaged enough to demand this. Trump is a sick fuck and I really wish his sycophants would stop catering to his malignancy.
GOP Rep Cory Mills asked Speaker Mike Johnson to raise the flags during Trump’s inauguration instead of having them lowered to honor the life of Jimmy Carter.

A expected, the stupid Trump shit has already started before the imbecile is even inaugurated, and I just don't have the energy to give a damn. I'm literally out of fucks. It's a weird place to be. Let's forcibly annex Canada. Sure. Why not. Of all the stupid times to be alive...

They absolutely got away with it. They are likely to continue to get away with such things for a while.
But here’s the thing: I’d rather be unsuccessfully decent than successfully evil.

THREAD: In 2023, I received an envelope with no return address. Inside was a flash drive containing tens of 1000s of secret files.
It came from a vigilante with a tumultuous past, who'd conducted a years-long undercover operation. He didn’t tell the FBI or his family. He only told me.

Does Trump think “windfall” is a type of windmill? (The piece he links to does not mention wind energy.)

So Mike Johnson barely wins election to Speaker of the House, where he will have a slimmer majority than he had at the end of the last Congress, after a few Republican holdouts were finally twisted into submission by Trump himself.

The mob boss wants the debt ceiling raised. So he’s letting all the Republicans know that you don’t want to be against doing that - like these two guys.

Might as well. He's running the show anyway.
Rand Paul becomes the first to call for Elon Musk to replace Mike Johnson as Speaker. Which, if you listened to my podcast Uncovered yesterday, you already knew was going to happen before it just happened.

I think a lot about this quote from Anaïs Nin’s diary from 1939-1944:
“America is in even greater danger because of its cult of toughness, its hatred of sensitivity, and someday it may have to pay a price for this, because atrophy of feeling creates criminals”.

It's gonna be a long four years of unnecessary chaotic crap. And we won't even have cheaper eggs. A pox on the people who voted for it.
Hard not to get a bit nauseated reading/watching the latest hot Trumpworld gos when absolutely none of this was necessary. We should not be worrying about a government shutdown right now. But the chaos is titillating for some folks.
