The piece of this that’s most interesting is the leak. Someone has a tape of this and it isn’t just the administration.
Three things about the Witkoff tapes:

1) It appears Western intelligence services have decided to let Witkoff (and Trump) know they have recordings of their traitorous conversations w/Russia.

2) This Ukraine "deal" was all Witkoff's idea.

3) Congressional leaders should demand he be fired.

Maybe look at how JP Morgan killed Lincoln too.
Man, look: The regularity with which Trump defends his relationship with Epstein by noting that he never went to Epstein's island makes me think 1) that the island is where the really heinous shit went down and 2) that Trump knows that very, very well.
he’s crashing out

GOP Senator Cynthia Lummis: "Under normal times, in normal circumstances, I tend to think that the First Amendment should always be sort of the ultimate right... I don't feel that way anymore." www.semafor.com/article/09/1...
Kimmel’s suspension prompts free-speech Republicans to reconsider their boundaries
One Republican said she no longer considers the First Amendment to “be sort of the ultimate right,” as she would “in normal circumstances.”

Go download any papers you have saved for genealogy work from the Missouri State Archives.
I am hearing from folks that the new Missouri Secretary of State, Denny Hoskins, a MAGA Republican, has fired half of the staff in the State Archives today with no warning.

These are people that preserve and provide access to state government records…

If you are someone saying “f red states” cause of these storms, hop right the fuck outta here. You have zero clue what it’s like to live somewhere and not even have a single candidate to vote for on even statewide races that you identify with. If you aren’t from here, keep your mouth shut.

You’ll keep an open mind Lindsey or see which way the wind full of piss is blowing?
Lindsey Graham on Trump’s plan to take over Gaza:

“We’ll see what our Arab friends say about that. I think most South Carolinians would probably not be excited about sending Americans to take over Gaza. I think that might be problematic. But I’ll keep an open mind.”

Where are the “we will surely reap what we sow” speeches? Anyone? Not a single one?
February 5, 2025 at 2:37 AM
My best suggestion for everyone right now? Read a book about the lead up to the civil war, WWII or any other world shaping event where millions of Americans died. Because.. we are much further down the garden path friends.

It is but it isn’t because that’s just crazy and dumb. This is… psychotic
The Trump presidency is this thing where you go outside for a walk and then come back to find that in between Diet Coke keg stands he found time to slap a 750% tariff on Luxembourg for not investing in MELANIA coin.

Unless the point is you are a moron
Not for nothing, but announcing that the US is taking over Gaza the same week you’re neutering the FBI’s entire counterterrorism program isn’t that smart from a security perspective.

How long did it take Lincoln to realize the south would kill half the country rather than give up slavery? Asking for a friend.

I just explained tariffs to my 10 year old in 3 min… and some of yall.

And Rome burned while Nero fiddled.
You’re watching the Super Bowl next week.

Wait till Trump’s tariffs raise your pizza prices.

If the FBI gets purged of almost all of its agents, they will be replaced. The current vetting process for agents is onerous. But that can be changed, and there’s really nothing stopping a director from handing every Jan. 6 pardonee, or any other yahoo, a badge and a gun (and TS clearance)

Go screenshot the thing you buy most from China, Mexico or Canada. Go ahead. Do it now. Then check the price in 4 weeks.

i have written about this before but i have become extremely civic republican virtue pilled as a result of all of this. democracy will not work without an active effort to cultivate virtue among ordinary people!
trump is unique in that his depravity creates the very cynicism he feeds on. it is necessary to uphold the idea that we are capable of better even if that belief is counterfactual. which is why we need to tell the bureaucracy that their work is valued and that they are holding the line for us.
Taking the President's symbolic roles as essentially being the central rituals of American civic religion, Trump's inability to perform them- to actually be presidential- signals that the civic religion is hollow and without power, that there are no consequences for blaspheming it.

Your friendly reminder that children did used to have diabetes and cancer and all the other diseases. They just also died way more often of curable diseases or strep throat. Vaccines have improved life expectancy in very single metric. To say otherwise is purely ignorant.
