You gotta admit it’s pretty funny how QAnon was spot on about a pedophile running the government — but they can’t brag about it because they literally voted for the pedophile.

This is doubly infuriating because OIL?

In 2025...

OIL?

Soon they'll tell us that guano and whale oil require the taking of Brazil and Greenland.
No imperialist wars of aggression for oil company profits!

This Trump war will in no way benefit average Americans. But average Americans will be asked to spill their blood and spend their tax dollars to seize oil so oligarchs can further enrich themselves with it.

Surveillance footage shows him saying something to a federal agent in the hallway.

Asked what he said, Freed replies: "I called him a fascist."

I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.
Trump: "Venezuela is completely surrounded by the largest Armada ever assembled ... It will only get bigger, and the shock to them will be like nothing they have ever seen before — Until such time as they return to the USA all of the Oil, Land, and other Assets that they previously stole from us."

Despite Kash Patel's chronic sniffles, it appears the FBI couldn't catch a cold. Are he and Bongino on their way out?

#2 is and shall heretofore be exclusively referenced as a "Kavanaugh stop"

Like "Miranda rights", but fascist.
Congresswoman Ilhan Omar's son was pulled over by ICE and forced to prove he is an American.

Two options:

1) ICE deliberately targeted him.

2) ICE is stopping all non-White people without any probable cause and forcing them to prove they are citizens.

Hard to say which option is scarier.

Welcome to "the list" @gtconway.bsky.social.

In no time, they'll get to our spot and kick us out too. Not sure where I fit in a white supremacist, Christian nationalist, authoritarian version of this county either.

Probably because I don't.
They would never let me into this country if I weren't already here

Why is he being monitored so aggressively? Because the same drugs that can help keep him lucid can "asplode hiz brane". Very delicate balance between hiding his dementia and completely incapacitating him.

Bluesky as old-school urban dictionary
In the long-ago times, there used to be an LAPD propaganda series on broadcast TV called Adam-12.
The TV police were polite, respectful,and lawful.
L.A. citizens under LAPD knew better.
Citizens created a nickname for police, "12."
Fuck 12 means fuck the police.
Thank you for coming to my TED talk.
