Cassidy's vote in committee guaranteed Kennedy a narrow party-line victory in the Senate floor vote. But for his supposedly handwringing vote in committee, the nomination would have died in committee. Instead, we have another Republican gift to America. These people deserve to be forgotten but need to be remembered.

I listened to Trump's yap to the House GOPers. The whole thing, a stream of consciousness performance that anyone with a reasonable claim to being considered normal cannot help but find deeply disturbing.

The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became the truth.
George Orwell, 1984

Determined to preserve the nation's history, some 100 members of Congress, mostly Democrats, have taken it upon themselves to memorialize the moment. For months, they've mounted poster board-style replicas of the Jan. 6 plaque outside their office doors, resulting in a Capitol complex awash with makeshift remembrances.

Mark Kelly's reelection campaign folks should thank their mega fundraiser: Pickled Pete Hegseth, Secretary of Warrrrrr. (Reality hint: Still officially the Department of Defense. Eat it up, MAGAts.)

Why bother going to the gang of eight or Congress?
SCOTUS gave Trump immunity.
Couple that with the his pardon power and an embarrassingly supine congressional GOP and you get ...
What we have: a dictatorship in its early stages.

A bipartisan bill that became law after getting approved 427-1 in the GOP controlled House and unanimously by the GOP controlled Senate.
That the contents of the files obviously freak out Trump is his problem.
Hence the coverup.
Whatever is in there really, really concerns him.

"The bill to release the files was written by Dems ... "

Ro Khana, yes. Thomas Massie? Not so much.
That bill was approved 427-1 in the GOP controlled House and unanimously by the GOP controlled Senate.
On the tally sheet that would be another swing and a miss for you.

When push comes to shove, there is, unfortunately, really no particular reason in light of the Trump purge to believe the US military will support the Constitution.

"We called him Old Yeller. The name had a sort of double meaning. One part meant that his short hair was a dingy yellow, a color that we called yeller' in those days. The other meant that when he opened his head, the sound he let out came closer to being a yell than a bark."
Fred Gipson, Old Yeller

Please try focusing on the matter at hand.
What Trump has done is a number of things, none of them on any way positive.
Along a rough continuum they start with "stupid" and move along to "illegal."
Thank you for your attention to this matter!

Doesn't look like "Operation Fuhgedaboud Epstein" was well thought out.
Other than the kidnapping-as-cover and announcement of brazen theft parts.
The ensemble presentation at Mar-a-Lardo, though, what a paean to the spirit of kitsch.
"General Raizin' Caine" ... "He effed around and he found out ... "
Oooh,boogabooga ... hilarious performances that forever upstaged Colin Powell's pathetic cartoons at the UN.

And?

The return of loud of mouth, short on cultural awareness and sensitivity, and profoundly lacking in displays of respect piratas norteamericanos aka filibusteros aka los pinche gringos. It's a goddamn shame. In every sense of that word.

That ------- arch won't pay for itself, know what I mean?

How many times does Trump have to tell you? It's a ------- "arc." (He probably means "ark.")

"We will run Venezuela."
To steal its oil and rare earth minerals?
A FUBAR fiesta grande in the making..
Buen provecho, MAGAts.

"I am an anti-imperialist. I am opposed to having the eagle put its talons on any other land."
Mark Twain, 1900

Twain was a fierce opponent of the naked and rampant American Imperialism of Trump fav William McKinley.

"Doesn't" not "does." MAGAts are the biggest political pants p*ssers in the US. Always outraged, ever angry, poorly informed and led by a convicted felon and sexual abuser who is losing his mind in full view prime time. What a show!

Is there anything that does frighten MAGAts? Anything? Buehler?
