Its amazing how states rights have been completely turned on its head since the pre-Civil Rights era

Can the Eastern shore secede from Maryland so we dont have to deal with this fascist Hungarian assclown anymore? Andy - year 10 and still no townhall you coward.

Trump SAYS a lot of things. The question is the HOW - he nor his people just dont think that far because its all about frying the newscycle with social media hits.

Similarly, Mark Hertling made a great point on Bullwark podcast last night - we actually dont have the military capacity to invade Greenland because we rely on our NATO allies for "regular" sub zero fighting force. Also what does an invasion mean - we go and occupy Nuuk?

However, they will tolerate it when highly classified information is shared with future Chiefs of Staff by Presidents in waiting for shits and giggles. (Like the felony did with Susie Wiles in 2022)

Was this how Roger Stone and the Proud Boys planned January 6? Every accusation is an admission and all that

He CONVERTED to Catholicism so he has no real underpinnings as to what it really means in the first place - in other words, National Catholic Reporter is wasting their breath. John Fugelsangs book (Seperation of Church and Hate) discusses a lot of this fake Christianity.

Its striking to me that it appears that the GOP and all its various mouthpieces and bootlickers have landed on something that's easily disproven by video. Its no coincidence they're all saying the same thing from Vance on down.

Plan to unite the country? People are sick and tired of people fighting each other? Who the hell is this idiot?

Last time I checked Ohio has a GOP trifecta in charge on their government.

Musk was born in South Africa after all and Afrikaners and Rhodesians both held this belief too - not a surprise to see this.

The interesting through line is Roger Stone. In his warped and diseased mind, he saw Trump as the successor to Nixon and to achieve what Nixon failed to do because a lot of the norms that held during Watergate seem quaint now.

Werner Von Braun or Enrico Fermi (for starters/OTOH), anyone?

Lets be clear here - his direct family, namely his parents, have not turned against him and in fact play a large role who he is today. The book "Warmonger" is quite instructive on this.

"So I am going to introduce something called Trump insurance, where the government works as the insurer of last resort making all the other insurance companies obsolete" wait - I thought single payer insurance was supposed to be the worst evil thing evah?

Or what? This the real stupidity. He makes these demands or "threats" that are totally meaningless.

Brockman is named in Virginia Guiffres book, including his "club" for unsavory activity during 2000 and 2001 . Also, Ellie Leonard (not on here, I think) is all over the NYT /Sulzberger angle and just got hired by @blueampmedia.bsky.social

What is missing from this piece is another element to litigation - the cost. Someone with lots of $ can gum up the works with a good attorney. Someone less fortunate will probably just either give up or lose.

I thonk Lindsay Halligan tried this excuse too.

/2 h/t @muellershewrote.com - had writer on for an interview at some point on the Daily Beans this past year.

There's a very good book from 2020 that does a very good job describing the Stephen Miller origin story including calling into Larry Elders talk show as a 15 year old and how he sees Trump as a father figure since, similarly, his dad screwed over his family and stole the family real estate business.

Makes sense since the Trump Foundation was disbanded for that very reason!
