accurate soundtrack to what's going on

i voted! richest, free-est society in history. and we're gonna fuck it up

i don't say it's perfect here - far from it. but it's hard to see what a bunch of middle aged white people are so angry about

oh that's right, a black guy was president *sigh*

yeaaaaah, don't give a fuck for Bloodimir!

good. i really fear if GOP takes over at the midterm they will end aid to ukraine. and a GOP president will withdraw us from NATO.

and i feel this would be bad!! still seeing headlines like this

this is RUSSIA'S policy

Nixon planned and covered up the Watergate break-in, including having the acting FBI director destroy evidence. Reagan (and Bush 1.0) illegally sold weapons to Iran to fund the Contras, which was forbidden by Congress. Bush 2.0 lied about Iraq's weapons capabilities to launch an illegal war. i have to agree with Pelosi on this

ok i'll shut up now but i'm still watching the hearings and if nothing comes of them at least they've said it out loud

1984 poll:

Some people got a nice visit from the FBI as I was having breakfast this morning. Such a lovely thing to hear about.

yes a nice surprise as i was not sure fbi had the will. no fan of theirs but it's certainly ironic that trump's crimes seem to include mishandling classified info. LOCK HIM UP

this isn't usually charged unless... a third party is involved. there is something big and urgent here which moved even the extremely cautious merrick garland

eric trump on twitter saying the trump family is the most abused in history

matt gaetz claiming they finally had the goods on hunter biden so this is a distraction

MAGA tears are delicious

Yeah, I read what low-iq Eric wrote, it was indeed hilarious.

I'm loving reading all the juicy comments and speculation below this article:

This one's good too.

OK, I'll stop now.

ok, just ONE more!! A riveting article written by heather cox richardson on substack:

i've been getting her newsletter since trump was in office. emptywheel is a good follow too. i follow too many lawyers probably

Way ahead of me as usual. Does the news website emptywheel and the twitter-user emptywheel have any connection?

yes they're both marcy wheeler https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marcy_Wheeler independent journalist since 2011

k i'll stop gloating and go do something constructive :p

someone attacked an fbi field office in indiana. fox news is non-stop bullshit about how the fbi planted evidence in trump's house so it must be something quite bad they were looking for (not that i think they'd undertake this casually against an ex-president)

stochastic terrorism is as close as we'll get to civil war imo but the right wing media stoking it 24/7 is pretty scary

just one example :eyeroll:

so... not really that surprising. i almost feel relief

and once again sorry, international partners, none of this should have ever happened...

the story the lamestream media wouldn't cover. filmed in serbia. this 'true story' is based on allegations made by trump allies. wonder why dinesh d'souza didn't get this assignment

anyway they're all having a meltdown now cuz biden called them 'semi-fascist' and about damn time too
