Updating my LEGO White House

It sounds like a good idea, until you think it through carefully, and realize you have to actually be able to cite specific laws being broken, then PROVE this beyond a reasonable doubt in a court.

Then consider what the petulant man-child in the WH will do to Illinois while all this is playing out.
Serious question: What's stopping the State of Illinois from arresting Stephen Miller & charging him with incitement?

The Senate didn't confirm him. He's just a guy.

At some point, the states MUST use their authority to prosecute, because the federal government certainly will not.

So a judge letting a person who comitted 35 felonies walk free.
Unthinkable.

What about a judge who lets out a criminal comitting 34 felonies ... like Juan Merchan?
SCARBOROUGH: When law forbids troops from being used for crime prevention, do you have concern about Trump using military to fight 'the enemy within'?

I was thinking about "The bank job" recently.
A 2008 based-on-reality heist movie with Jason Statham about bankrobbers in 1971 stealing incriminating evidence about a British royal.

The movie assumed lewd pics of princess Anne, but with recent Epstein revelations, prince Andrew seems more likely.

Like robots just parroting the line.

The right-wing ecosphere has been doing this for decades. Get out the talking points and make sure everyone uses the same memorable slogan or catchphrase, because people will remember that and not the truth.
Right-wing Sinclair Broadcasting owns all these local media stations and many others all across America. This is not journalism, it is scripted propaganda.

I just spent half an hour staring at my computer screen cross-eyed, but it was totally worth it.

I do recommend watching it on a big screen, not your phone.

A lot of people are going to learn a lot about Charlie Kirk tomorrow. They will read his own words and see video clips.

Then they will ask why corporate America, the NY Yankees, the mainstream press, and MAGA valorized a man who spent his life committed to hate.

Look at this graph.

The share of national income going to the richest 10 percent was lowest (and share to lower 90 percent highest) when union membership was at its highest. As unions have weakened, inequality has widened.

This is why we must build back union power.

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

So yeah, don't do this.

Throw balloons filled with nasty smelling stuff if you HAVE to throw something to feel better.

But these little clips are all the average MAGA Fox viewer will see of what's happening, and they'll happily cheer on the marines as they shoot black and brown people next week...

This statement from Jonathan Joss's husband is heart breaking.

No, headline writers, he wasn't "killed in an argument with a neighbor." He was *deliberately murdered* for being gay right after his dog was decapitated.

Bet the murderer calls himself a "Christian."

THIS is why Pride is important.

Yet another one of those things everyone saw coming even before the election:

Zelensky won't just give up half his country because Trump asked nicely, and Putin is unlikely to settle for less either.

Those who realized that (like Biden) understood supporting Ukraine was the only right thing to do.
In other words, he promised repeatedly during the campaign he had a secret plan to end the war in 24 hours and he was just bullshitting everyone because he doesn’t have the first clue what to do, he gave away all negotiating leverage months ago, and his special envoy is a dope.

It seems the time is right for another (perhaps better informed this time) referendum on the matter ...

This is now the 3rd or 4th time since the Trump administration took over where I had to do a double take on what turned out to NOT be an Onion headline at all ...
Kristi Noem has been working with the producer of “Duck Dynasty” to pitch a reality TV show—titled “The American”—where immigrants will compete in a string of challenges across the country “for the honor of fast-tracking their way to U.S. citizenship,” according to a new report.
