No, they are saying it’s about the Defense Department

There are stories that it’s about the Defense Department, so I assume it’s the stupid renaming it to the War department announcement

I think this is a fair criticism of a lot of folks who supported the confederacy. I’m not aware of Lee ever advocating for a return to the Articles of Confederation

His reasoning is pretty famous actually. He said “I’m a Virginian first” back in the days when people viewed their statehood as more important than their nationality

Lee was a capable commanding officer with a very good understanding of strategy and battlefield tactics. Whether he was better than Sherman is certainly debatable, but Sherman may have been one of the best military minds since Hannibal.

I get that. I have to hope I’m wrong about my sanguine view as well.

I’m not this confident. Throughout history despotic regimes have failed when those despots were unwilling to turn the full force of the military against the public. These folks are delusional and depraved enough that they will give such orders.
Publius (@josey76.bsky.social) reply parent
I am truly concerned that the next phase (or maybe 2 or 3 phases away) is seizing social media and using it to deem people disloyal to Trump and then detaining such folks or subjecting them to bogus tax audits or mortgage fraud charges
Publius (@josey76.bsky.social) reply parent
This is true in the old country of laws. In this country they don’t even need a plausible reason, just one palatable to present on right wing media that the Calvinball Court can then create some artful and unprincipled language to justify

They really didn’t even seek incriminating info in the transcript. No lawyer who knows how to cross examine would think this cozy interview was worth the paper it was printed on. I mean she pled guilty to arranging child trafficking and they don’t even want to know who that was for the benefit of?

I don’t know if it’s about Epstein. His entire model of government is to stir up the next nest of hornets to make everyone forget about whatever he just did/failed to do. Epstein files aren’t unique in this regard.

Big money wants to be on the winning side. They have calculated that the GOP is rigging the game and that the Dems aren’t going to meaningfully oppose that effort. Plus Trump has made it blatantly clear that he will corruptly reward allies including donors

This is like having a match of soccer and one side starts using their hands on the ball and the bribed refs aren’t calling it. If your side insists on playing the pure way feet only, then you’re just guaranteeing the loss

Doesn’t matter. These people’s brains are mush. They have lost critical thinking abilities. The 24/7 cable news/social media feed tells them what to care about this week and they don’t even care if it’s the opposite of what they were told to care about the last week.

Also a map of counties and a governor that runs on a statewide basis has literally zero to do with gerrymandering

I predict that about 2.5 years from now, Trump will start floating stories about how Newsom needs to be investigated criminally for opposing him. With almost zero people in the WH this time around with any common sense, they could try to jail him

This is a felony crime. These agents do not enjoy qualified immunity on this because they are clearly acting outside the scope of their duties in an unconstitutional manner. Newsom should get with his AG to prosecute these guys under state law. @governor.ca.gov @robbonta.bsky.social

about most of the Dem party. Stewart is one of the few people that can reach these folks and shred through the “politics as usual” attitude most folks have about voting. He can also energize some of those folks who don’t normally turn out like Trump does on his side

The voters we are looking to gain are looking for authenticity. As stupid as it sounds, these people thought “authenticity” when they heard Trump because he didn’t talk like a normal politician. But now the gig is up and they know he’s a fraud. Problem is they also think that

Depending on clerk there is another way: if cases are assigned in order they come in, such as case 1 goes to Judge A, case 2 goes to Judge B, and case 3 goes to MAGA Judge C, then you can just hold on to your important case, file two unimportant ones, and ensure the important case goes to Judge 3

Where’s the proof in the numerical pudding? Are ES&S voting districts statistically more likely to have some distortion in favor of Trump? I am not seeing anything like that
Publius (@josey76.bsky.social) reply parent
This article claimed “the math doesn’t lie” but I guess I missed where they proved or even alleged any statistically significant anomaly that would result from their alleged manipulation. If I am not seeing hard numbers, how is this different than Mike Lindell fan fiction?
Publius (@josey76.bsky.social) reply parent
As a matter of logic, how do you “undermine a Clinton presidency” and not a “Trump presidency” and not show a “clear preference for Trump”? Was Devin Nunes and his then assistant Kash Patel responsible for this conclusion?
Publius (@josey76.bsky.social) reply parent
He was a prosecutor and secretary of labor, what does he know about news production?
Publius (@josey76.bsky.social) reply parent
I had noticed a shift in his willingness to take independent stands against the GOP preferences to being far more establishment. This certainly explains the shift

I’m sorry but this isn’t correct. Only if you are using some sort of average that lumps in the billionaires like raw mean is this true. Median wages have been flat for a long time adjusted for inflation.
