Thanks for your service, Barney, and goodbye.

"As President Donald Trump claims ... ."

Setup or punchline?

I wanna go back to Dixie
Take me back to dear ol' Dixie
That's the only li'l ol' place for li'l ol' me
Ol' times there are not forgotten
Whuppin' slaves and sellin' cotton
And waitin' for the Robert E. Lee ... .

If Lil'Jeff actually had any real-world friends, surely they'd have staged an intervention by now?

If China fights a war it will involve a place, time, and conditions most advantageous to itself.
Not complicated, but contrast that with Vietnam, MAGAJeebus' Forever War, etc.
Sycophancy could be a weakness militarily, as it is in any authoritarian regime.
The Chinese, however, rarely reward idiocy.

Looks like nobody studies the French Resolution anymore.

I'm going with LICE.

Bill Donohue is a richly-compensated professional Catholic who can be counted on to bloviate reactionary views on cue.
Only God knows how many parishioners he's driven from the fold.

MAGAocracy.
Happy 250th.

"Never in recorded history has a nation's military been so quickly and effectively neutralized"

Perhaps Pickled Pete really refers to the ongoing MAGAIdiocy he and other MAGAJebus accolytes are inflicting on the American military.

Or maybe the defeat they've walked into with Iran by waging war on behalf of Bibi Netanyahu and his clique of apocalyptic lunatics.

Trump may not be a pet person but he sure has one helluva collection of Pavlovian dogs.

That's how it all begun.
We were - knee deep in the Big Muddy,
But the big fool said to push on ... .

"Sergeant, go on! I forded this river
'Bout a mile above this place.
It'll be a little soggy but just keep slogging.
We'll soon be on dry ground."
We were, waist deep in the Big Muddy
And the big fool said to push on.

(Pete Seeger, "Waist Deep in the Big Muddy")

"Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick admitted under oath to only selling one of President Donald Trump's "Gold Card" visas for $1 million - after he claimed to have sold 1,000 of them on a podcast last year."

Howie Lutnik's proclivity and talent for outrageously lying without a blink or blush made him a billionaire.
Landing a choice spot at MAGAJeebus' endlessly refilling trough of grift and graft won't change that.

Commerce Sec Howie Lutnik finally recalling the time he previously said never happened: the day he took family and friends to meet his buddy Jeffrey Epstein on the notorious Epstein Island:

"My wife was with me, as were my four children and nannies. I had another couple; they were there as well, with their children. And we had lunch on the island. That is true. For an hour. And we left with all of my children, with my nannies, with my wife."

The old gun-peener problem again, endemic among firearms fondling MAGAJeebus worshippers.

Why the question?

Had you actually read the article, you'd know.

Suggestion: Something along the lines of an "Intro US Civics Course for-Non-Citizens" course sounds like something you might consider taking.

Jonathan Chait notes:

the conservative principle would seem to rule out any criticism of authoritarian tendencies, however real they may be. If calling a politician an aspiring authoritarian is tantamount to inciting their murder, then doing so is irresponsible even if the charge is true. Republicans could nominate the reanimated corpse of Benito Mussolini for president, and Democrats couldn't question his commitment to democracy without being accused of ginning up violence.

Back to Lil' Jeffy's pathetic blowing truckers fantasies ... again?

Hey, kid, if you're that fixated, obviously hankering that much, just go do it. Nobody else here seems to share your unbridled yen for truckers and blowing same. Droning on and on about your real or imagined burning yearnings makes you sound like a low information, slack of Jack greasy little MAGAt. You really want that or ... are that? Try another bandwidth.

The Civil Rights legislation of that era, including this law, is something oldtime Southern Dems and Reps since Nixon's time have seen as representing social changes they they are still intellectually and psychologically incapable of fully processing.

How does it "evicerates" voting rights?

You wouldn't understand, given there's no voting rights act where you're from.
Now, please wipe that Quaker Oaty remnant of MAGAJesus off your lip.
Thanks of a grateful nation.

Perhaps someone should ask (Acting) Attorney General of the United States Todd "Thank You Very Much, I Love You, Sir!" Blanche who got that client, MAGAJesus, who now wants $10 billion, convicted on 34 felony counts, something about this.

#45 "Trump has his hands full ... "

Are you high?
