TL;DR: Wealthy powerful people enjoy the right to commit crimes without fear of matching penalties because that is 'cruel and unusual' or 'excessive' In other news, people are being kidnapped on the streets and deported into war zones in countries they aren't even from www.cnbc.com/2025/08/21/t...
Sure, they can vote. Just not all of them. It won't be a right, but a privilege reserved for those with something to give in exchange.
Next thing you know, Palin won't have to go far to see Russia from her house. She'll be living in it. www.nytimes.com/live/2025/08...
I don't want to live in a world where Presidents are free from consequences. They are not monarchs.
Not ranked choice. We should do star voting.
It's mutual
Probably. Until he's looking at the Bastille from the inside.
They also need to be deported, and their citizenship revoked.
Obama made the same mistake by not imprisoning Bush 43 for lying us into a war.
Or maybe just not Democrats at all. There are other parties out there.

y'all stupid
Kristi Noem: "We are not going away. We are staying here to liberate the city from the socialists and the burdensome leadership that this governor and that this mayor have placed on this country and what they have tried to insert into the city." Sen. Alex Padilla is then forcibly removed!

Sure. Will give him the same due process that the folks being kidnapped are getting.
MAGA Republicans are not an ideological opponent or political opposition. They have proven to be violent enemies of the state. Use all available means to dissuade, detain and defeat them.
It's all fun and games until the nation goes into full on rebellion

None of this will matter come watering time
Not a headline if it's standard operating procedure
He's going to do that either way at the end of his term.
They're going to be shocked when people start shooting back at them. Shocked I tell you.
They can talk all they like. Won't matter much when they're watering the tree of liberty.
psst,.. they're not actually conservative

Wait, is anyone under the impression that they were not irresponsible traitorous cowards? The values the party supposedly stood for have been repeatedly violated by Bush neocons and Tea Partiers. MAGA is only different in that they are open about being foreign controlled domestic enemies.
Brandon Graham leaves the #Eagles not only as one of the best defensive ends in team history, but also one of its most important. #FlyEaglesFly phlsportsnation.com/2025/03/30/f...
Maybe Jamie Lannister was an unsung hero. Set King Bran on his path. Protected the people of King's Landing. Loyal to the end.
Not incarceration, extinction. Neither the Master or his tools need to exist.
Nobody expects the French Revolution!
It's a lot more complicated than that. Which is why this is so silly. The power of an effective EO is to clarify the legal authority to move ahead with a solution to a problem. This EO just assigns the problem to an AG. Could have been a phone call, but then it wouldn't make the news. It's theatre.
You mean, the free market? Y'all act like purchasing live event tickets is a right rather than a privilege.
Speaking as one who worked for a certain international ticketing company for many years, this is a laughable approach. Analyze the problem, rather than directing someone to "fix" it. Get industry leaders onboard if possible. Work with Congress to pass a legislative solution. Y'know, GOVERN!
"No person shall be elected ... more than twice". Nothing about consecutive. Maybe instead of dressing up in the Constitution, you should actually read it.
No need to even go that far. Even a mediocre or poor performer is better than criminal/traitorous behavior.
All this "merit" based hiring...
Exactly. Going to be hard to recruit, and hard to retain. The only ones left will be the bad ones who don't care.
Tarring and feathering is an American tradition. Jussayin'
Trying to enter peoples homes without a warrant is going to impact the size of the LEO community.
Releasing JFK files is a bread and circuses distraction, and a lazy one at that. Not even all that interesting unless you are a conspiracy theorist.

I don't think bots like you should be allowed to exist. I understand if you don't agree. This is my political opinion, and you must respect it and consider it a valid position. Otherwise you are being unreasonable and I can safely delete you.
Roberts still thinks the judiciary is "independent". How cute!
Both Republican and Democrat parties are dead. Zombie politics. Moving around with no actual purpose.
Wonder if he thinks his wife's family are 'incompatible migrants'
Hey Republicans. You hated Obama so much, you held your noses, averted your eyes, and voted for Trump. Twice. Keep fucking around and you will end up with President Ocasio-Cortez.
A lot of US are just keeping our powder dry. Stand back and stand by. Ready AF.
To make Nazis and Confederates history again? YES!
The plausible framing was also despicable, just so we are clear.
A YES vote is literally the most powerful endorsement of this or any legislation.
Weren't Republicans up in arms about "erasing history" when we wanted to move statues of Confederates away from places of honor and into museums?
Real Americans do not follow Nazis and Confederates
Whoa.. Vivian Graubard over there on LinkedIn, bringing the whole fucking receipt book. Turns out those whiz kid DOGE "geniuses" couldn't pass the basic, entry level tech screen it takes to get hired at 18F. They didn't even meet the bar to *get an interview*.
Wouldn't be surprised to see a proposal to have login.gov replaced by an x.com account.
It's not worth the effort to persuade people who lack a functioning understanding of how the world works. They're children, treat them as such.
This attempt to make Trump appear less culpable and deficient is why I don't listen to your radio show anymore, Michael.
Stop treating DOGE as if it were actually an exercise in finding efficiency. It's a purge of anyone who might oppose them before doing more serious damage.
Worthless words
Face, meet leopard
I think Dems should town halls in their districts about how to properly operate firearms.
Stuff like this makes me wonder what Brits do today if Neville Chamberlain was still around trying to get his PM job back? Because America would just invite him to become President.
But her emails... www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I'll settle for a pound of flesh nearest the heart
Can't wait until Musk is held personally liable for every federal employee impacted, and every American whose PII was held in the databases he's compromised.
Not surprising. In the antebellum south, the enslaving ownership class denigrated the work ethic of those who created their wealth. Same dynamic today with oligarchs firing the people that do the work required for their organizations to function.
Also need that same massive amount of people to purchase and learn how to use a personal firearm.

Staggering levels of corruption? In America, police can take your property indefinitely if they think you might be a criminal. If they kill they get paid leave. Reagan helped Contras sell cocaine to Black people so he could defy Congress and finance their war. Corruption is normal in America.
Watching the decimation of the civil service reminded me of this old youtube video. Why? If you have no desire to understand the problem, your solution will seem ridiculous to those who do. m.youtube.com/watch?v=b2F-...
Wonder if the folks who voted for the Musk-Trump regime will move to protect themselves from identity theft from the Treasury data breach. Like, how much do you believe their hubris?
Congresswoman, I live in your district and voted for you. Congress is collectively ceding its power to the Executive. Please do more to oppose the unilateral dismantling of our government.

Yeah nah. We know what we saw.
Go Eagles! Fuck MAGA. Deport Musk.
White supremacy is just too strong.

The Republican embrace of Daniel Penny sends a clear signal to Black America. Ack. We read you loud and clear.
Questions like this distract from the fact that he ran on campaign promises to weaponize the federal government. He actively plans to use his office to harm Americans and to radically alter our society. @smerconish.bsky.social Please stop trying to make his aberrant behavior seem more normal.
Boy are they in for a surprise
Both labels are so far off the mark. I know that it doesn't matter to a baby killing Zionist like yourself. See, I can play the label game too!
2/2 Your moral compass is so fundamentally screwed. You care about applying political labels like 'antisemite' and who built what building and your interpretation of what that symbolizes. You don't really care about human beings and it shows.
1/2 You're barking up the wrong tree lady. Can't say that I care much for church buildings. In this attack, there was one person injured. The focus of the article and commenters this far is on the building and who built it and why. Mostly to make a political point.
Hideous? You're crying over a building. My priority is with people over property.
:shrug: It's hard to get worked up over a burned building when there are burned children and bombed out hospitals in Gaza.
I am in no way a proponent of war. However I find it persuasive that calling a spade a spade will help remove the national cognitive dissonance regarding war. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv...

This assertion has no basis in law.
Funny, I still hear from Trump die-hards that the J6 attack was a false flag antifa operation. Logic doesn't matter much.

Hey, @edzitron.com, have you heard of Linux before? Need some help installing it? I can come by to help you out if you need!
Didn't SCO buy Linux?
Maybe we can gin up a Linux vs BSD flamewar. It'll be just like it was in the 90's...
Ya know, the Bluesky servers probably run Linux. I'll see myself out...
As a former JW and a long time Linux user, I will say that JWs are definitely worse. You can uninstall Linux if you don't like it. If you uninstall JWs, you risk losing your family and friends.
Even the announcers panned his game management skills in real time. The Bears blew a legit opportunity to tie the game and go to overtime.
Don’t feed the trolls.
