It’s good that Obama is stepping back into the spotlight. He still resonates with people as the last president we had before the world went insane.

He also reminds anyone wanting to run Trump in ‘28 that he would have another two-termer to contend with.

Barring that, he is still a unifying figurehead in the short term, while everyone watches Trump’s rapid decline.

Desperation manifest. Putin is playing like he’s at war with the west, but EuroNATO on its own is light years past what Russia is capable of.

The first thing I saw this morning when I opened X

My brother in Christ, it’s called Twitter and why are you still checking it? Embrace mental health.

Good to see resistance. Even if it doesn’t gather support now it’s always good to take the first steps. Move Kegsbreath’s impeachment into view in a corner of whatever the Overton window has become in the age of disinformation.

Trump’s last attempt to strong arm Ukraine before the Epstein files get released. Almost certainly a bluff like all the other ones.

Zelenskyy should offer to take the deal if Ukraine can get its nukes back from the violation of the last treaty.

People have all kinds of sex without procreating. The ratio is actually raw-dogging without birth control to death.

Taking a bribe to let China reverse engineer our next generation fighter jet should be the kind of thing that has consequences. That’s going to cost a lot of lives down the road if things go sideways.

They spent so much time and effort prepping to act like it’s okay to fuck minors. Now they have to deal with Trump sucking dick.

If it isn’t true, release the files. The same files everyone in Trump’s orbit promised to release before they got appointed to higher positions and saw what was in them.

The government finally reopens to a tsunami of applications that need to be processed by a decimated staff.

This is deliberate. It’s punitive. It’s like MAGA draws energy from human suffering, especially from their own people.

I remember those days, kids. The dark times. It all started with a gorilla named Harambe…

The special relationship doesn’t include manufacturing a war this ridiculously unjustified.

You ignore the red flags when your boss’s boss’s boss goes to the island paid for by the red flags.

The New York Times reported that fragments that fell from the 155mm shell landed on vehicles parked on a ramp on Interstate 5 – a major artery through southern California – which governor Gavin Newsom had ordered closed after learning that military officials had no plans to close the freeway

No intention of closing the freeway for a live fire exercise right above it.

Theologically, the answer is that God the creator gave us the world and free will. We built this rolling disaster of corruption and self destruction by handing control of the world over to evil people.

The more practical answer is that people using God to advance evil agendas have drowned out honest discussions of spirituality and religion, especially in the online world.

The oligarchs have always sided with the Nazis. Look up the business plot and Smedley Butler, the hero who turned down the role of Fuhrer

Wait until the $200 billion they put into ICE starts paying off. This shit is just testing the waters. By the midterms, they’ll be talking about “illegals” voting in elections and turning the ICE-enforced police state loose on the polls to intimidate voters.

In Nazi Germany, the “legal” enforcers stood over you while you either checked voting for the Nazi party or not. Russia’s elections are similar. America’s elections have had problems over the centuries, but they’ve never been that. Not on a national level across the board. It’s the KKK burning crosses everywhere all at once.

Is Trump trying to use Vance’s complete and utter lack of charisma to kill the Epstein story? Make every response as dry as trying to fuck a couch cushion.

Interesting strategy from Trump, but I wonder if Vance’s handlers like making him the face of the Epstein coverup.

Netanyahu and a disturbing amount of others see all Palestinians as Hamas. They aren’t starving civilians to death to pressure Hamas. They’re genociding all Palestinians on purpose because they don’t see them as human beings. It’s unspeakably horrible, and it’s being silenced.

The mainstream is hoping that when all Palestinians are dead or displaced they won’t have a voice to object.

The American experiment has well and truly failed in the Information Age. Emotional ties to national politics guide most voters far more than self-interest or even oblivious interests of the local community. Gerrymandering has silenced local communities but has also become a weapon yielded that cannot be ignored. “When they go low, we go high” was naive back then. It’s suicidal now.

Gerrymandering is just a symptom of the monolithic fascism that is designed to funnel tax breaks to and end corruption investigations of the oligarchs who run everything. They steal our money and rape children right in front of our eyes, and they get away with it.

It would be nice to think Texas will do the right thing and provide representation, but they won’t. Blue state governors and legislatures need to adjust accordingly.

The beauty of the 300-year-old American federalist system is that states enjoy a wide range of special rights to be ultimately determined by the current makeup of the Supreme Court with absolutely no checks on their power. Supreme Court Justices are lifetime appointees who can be bribed publicly and are free to lie about it, and there is no mechanism to question their ethics or remove them from their positions outside of a full impeachment like with Trump.

The state supreme courts have a good deal of power, but only to the extent that the federal Supreme Court doesn’t take it away. I can’t imagine a more fertile ground for fascism to be experimented upon legally if people of conscience do nothing.
