Satellites? Pfft. Only someone from the deep state would say that. The earth is flat, with a firmament. Satellites are a NASA lie. /s

The ottoman looked studiously away.

If you aren’t averse to Reddit, there’s a subreddit devoted to Project 2025. Lots of info there. https://www.reddit.com/r/Defeat_Project_2025/

Wow. That’s devastating.

“If not me, then who?” An opposing candidate, that’s who, even if that opposing candidate is my cat, you flaming sack of kookery.

" legal observers worry that the most serious tool the U.S. Constitution provides to rein in a public official is being misused as partisan weapon"

Dear legal observers: don’t “worry,” state the bloody obvious clearly. The House GOP has abused the most serious tool the U.S. Constitution provides to carry out a purely partisan attack.

LOL. There’s a silicon valley bigwig jet tracker that I see pop up on my Reddit account, and I’m not even that interested in it.

“Lucifer in the flesh”–Ted’s fellow Republican John Boehner. As Cruz’s former college roommate, Craig Mazin, once put it, “One thing Ted Cruz is really good at: uniting people who otherwise disagree about everything else in a total hatred of Ted Cruz.” George W. Bush: “I just don’t like the guy.” Bob Dole: “I don’t know how he’s going to deal with Congress. Nobody likes him.” John Boehner: “I have Democrat friends and Republican friends. I get along with almost everyone, but I have never worked with a more miserable son of a removed in my life.” Lindsey Graham: “If you killed Ted Cruz on the floor of the Senate, and the trial was in the Senate, nobody would convict you.”

Hmm, multiple bankruptcies and lawsuits, a $25 million fraud settlement, CFO caught criming, charity fraud, four separate trials…I’m starting to think Trump and company are hinky.

As long as Trump can pay his lawyers (or Trump’s friends can pay), expect stuff like this to happen. Those who can afford it get a different level of justice. See, e.g., Paxton in Texas. Compare that with all the poor saps who can’t make bail and get locked up pending trial with only an overworked PD to help them.

Blockety block block block. Also the porn bots.

La puta mili, as young men called it in Spain. Lots of hurry up and wait. Very little fun time driving tanks around. My father got drafted. I got lucky and didn’t.

My dad worked for a major bank. Sometimes when an employee stole money from the bank, it made the news. Other times, the bank kept quiet about it. You don’t always hear about this stuff because the business is too embarrassed to make it public.

As someone who went through a no-fault divorce, I can say the process is difficult and expensive enough already. It is definitely not easy, and it is not as easy as changing your underwear, contrary to what some right wing liar may tell you. And as the article points out, no-fault divorce has been of enormous benefit to women. Ending no-fault divorce is about controlling and dominating women, full stop.

Put “Cornel West says” at the start of the sentence so we can all ignore what follows.

Article is short on details. So Belgium doesn’t have birthright citizenship?

Hate on Biden all you want, but please vote for him. Trump is worse. Trump was behind moving the US embassy to Jerusalem. Trump instituted a ban on travel to the USA from some (note some) Muslim majority countries. If Trump gets elected, expect Project 2025 to come to fruition.

This kind of thing sure seems to have happened quite a bit at Fox. Maybe there seems to be a whole lot of sociopathic predatory behavior among conservatives.

Dimon and Republicans are against it? Sounds like it’s something good.

I’ll just leave this here: French Revolution https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/French_Revolution
