- Republicans have been voting to open the government

No, they aren't even IN DC to vote.

Dems are there ready to votes, Trumpers can't be found.

"Janessa Goldbeck, a former US Marine Corps captain and chief executive of the Vet Voice Foundation, a non-profit advocacy group, said the order represented "an attempt by the president to normalize a national, militarized police force".

She predicted that force would be used to send troops to states led by Democratic governors without their permission and could be used to suppress turnout and disrupt the fair operation of elections.

In a worst-case scenario, she said, "the president could declare a state of emergency and say that elections are rigged and use allegations of voter fraud to seize the ballots of secure voting centers".".

That should be enough for the Food Riots alone. He'll have to send in the real military when the Epstein Files are released.

This is good, Daily Show - Jesus Or Trump?

Who's quote was this?

"This is against the law" the supreme law " of the land. There is no joint resolution with the Senate allowing for a recess longer than three days, nor has the Senate passed such a standalone resolution. Article I, 5, cl.4 of the Constitution reads:

"Neither House, during the Session of Congress, shall, without the Consent of the other, adjourn for more than three days, nor to any other Place than that in which the two Houses shall be sitting."

Congress didn't even suspend its functioning for weeks like this during the Civil War or WWII; it's literally never happened before."

"No political truth is of greater intrinsic value, or is stamped with the authority of more enlightened patrons of liberty: The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands ... may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny."
"James Madison, Federalist 47

"All the powers of government, legislative, executive, and judiciary, result to the legislative body. The concentrating of these in the same hands, is precisely the definition of despotic government.

An ELECTIVE DESPOTISM was not the government we fought for; but one ... in which the powers of government should be so divided and balanced among several bodies of magistracy, as that no one could transcend their legal limits, without being effectually checked and restrained by the others." (emphasis Jefferson's)

We coulda been contenders!

Beck's video at the thread link is creepy as hell.

Not only is Glen Beck still alive (who knew?), but his and Mr Barton, who basically tells Project 25, "here, hold my beer!".... have created the AI George (read: Washington) based on Barton's thoroughly debunked version of American history, and housed his multiple Libraries in nuclear safe bunkers, and projecting their AI George image as THE Teacher of American History.

And at the very end, you find out why. (Hint: It's a Scam)

- Man, you are anti semitic as hell, poser.
GFY.

Don't get him started on Evil Nato provoking poor innocent Vlad!

There is actually only One Bad Guy in the Ukraine War, not two, like in the Gaza Genocide.

AI Overview

In the current political and electoral landscape, far-right groups have very limited influence in Ukraine.

Russian propaganda has falsely portrayed Ukraine as a neo-Nazi regime to justify its aggression, but this narrative is not supported by facts. While extremist groups exist and have sometimes used violence, they have failed to gain widespread political support."

His best film.

- you have bigger problems.

The biggest of which is Donald Jackass Trump giving billionaires the largest transfer of wealth in our history from the poor and middle class.

GOP bill is largest wealth transfer from poor to rich in US history

- I'm not in fear of losing my food stamps.

And couldn't give half a --- for those who are.

Always love those stories like about Cynthia Anne Parker captured by the Comanche.

My early kin were in Ft Worth cabins where they had hidden closets for the kids to hide in during an attack. (of course, they were pretty much trespassing at the time).

LOL

the author of this xpost thread link:

"Like Michael, I long ago left the progressive environmental echo chamber. But Michael has gone through a MAGA-tinted looking glass and now trafficks in deep state conspiracies about UFOs, January 6th, and social media censorship far nuttier and more extreme than anything that his former progressive allies could ever have conjured up."

Now I want to watch Little Big Man again.

Of course, as kids in TX we learned that Lee thought that Grant was just a drunken blacksmith whom he gave his sword to for polishing.

- Does 4 years of war define a persons entire history?

When several hundred thousand people die? Yeah, pretty much.

I have a point now, you just don't want to admit your Cult Leader is a traitor to his country.

And, once a traitor... it's easier the second time.

- throughout most of the recorded history of Abrahamic religion, wives have been chattel property of their husbands to some degree.

You could leave out 'Abrahamic religion' in that statement and it would still be true pretty much worldwide.

With few exceptions like maybe the Amazons, who were prolly based on Scythian warrior women, who could well have been Hebraic tribes from the area of Persia.

Republicans have been saying for years that they have Plan to replace the ACA... Moses Mike said the other day it would, "be ready in a few weeks".

It was MTG who noted that 'the Plan' was locked up in the Secure Area and she wasn't allowed to see it... because it still does not exist.

Sooo.... are we saying Bobby Lee married his cousin?

Someone here recently posted about the American Death Toll of the Civil War being more than it was for, I think it was, both World Wars.

Yeah, let's give the Rebellion Leader a Statue.... sorta like precedent for Trump's upcoming statue(s).

"Taranto was among the 1,500 Jan. 6 defendants President Donald Trump pardoned in January but he faced separate firearms and false information charges stemming from his 2023 arrest near the home of former President Barack Obama.

Taranto, who was found with illegal guns and ammunition near Obama's house, was convicted of those charges in May. In their memo Tuesday, Valdivia and White, asked a judge to sentence Taranto to 27 months in prison.

Laying out the factual background of their request, Valdivia and White told the court Taranto participated in the Jan. 6 attack and subsequently spread conspiracy theories about it.

"On January 6, 2021, thousands of people comprising a mob of rioters attacked the U.S. Capitol while a joint session of Congress met to certify the results of the 2020 presidential election," they wrote. "Taranto was accused of participating in the riot in Washington, D.C., by entering the U.S. Capitol Building."

;;

"After the riot, Taranto returned to his home in the State of Washington, where he promoted conspiracy theories about the events of January 6, 2021," the prosecutors added.

Jeanine Pirro, the former Fox News host turned U.S. attorney for D.C., signed off on the sentencing memo."

He ONLY hires the best US Attnys!

Waving his flag all over the place: Trump adds Arc de Trump' to presidential renovations

In addition to a new ballroom, flagpoles, gilding the Oval Office and paving over the Rose Garden, the US president proposes an arch

More than two centuries have passed since France celebrated the emperor Napoleon's birthday by laying the foundation stone of the Arc de Triomphe. Now Donald Trump has imperial ambitions of his own.

On Wednesday, the US president unveiled plans for a grand arch in Washington that has already been dubbed the "Arc de Trump".

The location is overlooked by Arlington House, the former home of Robert E Lee, who led the army of northern Virginia on the Confederate side during the civil war. Various statues of Lee were removed after the Black Lives Matter protests of 2020.

But, Trump added:

"That's Arlington Memorial Bridge and, at the end of it, you have a circle that was built 150 years ago ... In 1902, they were going to put a statue of Robert E Lee up ... would have been OK with me " would've been OK with a lot of the people in this room."

How many Presidents had a Steve Bannon guaranteeing that they would seek a 3rd term?

And how many Presidents had already tried to stay in Office illegally and violently when their term was up?

- a leading Democrat

Prolly in there, but prolly not Epstein's 'best friend' and Wingman to the Pedo King.

Who sent Jeffrey a B-day card all about the 'Secret' they shared.

And also send Epstein's pimp Maxwell to the Club Fed.

I did hear something, and I recount someone who was, privy to the room in which, you know, this idea, he's going to do this ballroom. So when they came to him, the building, the contracting team
on the engineering team, they they came, they had a meeting and they said, you know, listen, it really would be much cheaper and faster just to tear down the East Wing.

And he said ... this was given to me as a as a quote. He said, '----, but can we do the demolition at night?".

Wow. So you know, the idea would be Washington would wake up in the East wing would have evaporated."

It's a podcast video, but there's a Transcript if you want to scan it.
