We don't have to like the arms race, but in an arms race we are. Until someone finds a better way to deal with the GOP.

He would say that shit an hour before death. Those words mean nothing.
Never believe any of the Trump Regime talking points. They are ALL about persuasion, not conveyance of truth.
Any day now, we shall be released.
FUCK TRUMP. Information wants to be free, so we will find out what's in the Epstein files. It is already too late to smoke everyone who posesses the truth. It is a matter of who has the guts to put info out for the public.
The Trump post-a-bot is getting better.
Eugenicists hate medical science, believing it to be an intervention which prevents the unfit from dying off.
In the dark of the night over there. Game time is any time.
Stack your ticker tape, confetti, tinsel, tequila, and condoms by the door. It might be a hard partying weekend! #trumpobit #nokings #8647 #byetrump
Too many crazy fuckers have a Turner Diaries fantasy in their heads, or a similar Christian nationalist armageddon fantasy. No people like that ought to have firearms.
This is how it starts, with lots of dewormer. He's gonna shit the bed like no one in all of history!
Stock up now on tinsel, tickertape, and condoms! Before the sellers start jacking their prices :-)
Imagine if the truth is that he knows he has days to live and is doing all of this occupation bullshit because he knows we are gonna celebrate our asses off as he cools to room temperature.
This is not about God. People did this.
The real question is what are willing to do to stop the kidnappings.
In other words, "I'm ready for the oval office! I'm ready to be as much of a bastard as Donald Trump!
They ARE setting us up to die. Stephen Miller (Shadoow President Number One) has already said he would like a USA population of 100 million, all who look like him. The eugenicist fuckers think medical science is an intervention to help people live who should actually die.
Trump is worse than "bad at math." He is LYING in support of the fossil fuel industry. Not a little lying, but lying about EVERYTHING. EVERYTHING!
LOL eat the fries and let the fupa be glorious :-)
That was before learning about "loop lines" and such things the grownup underworld used.
LOL I remember a phone hack, in my early teens, before mobile phones. We could call the time or weather numbers, and yell to other people while the call was waiting to connect. It would get crazy sometimes, with folks repeatedly calling an trying to score "hookups" yelling numbers to others.
I have noticed the BBC becoming more and more soft and easy on the far right over time. Cowards! The UK will end up with people as bad, or worse, than the USA's MAGAs unless people refuse to be lied to and abused by the right.
It is truly shameful that no one has the spine to use the 25th Amendment, or to impeach Trump. Everyone wants to just get out of the way and let God solve our problems for us. Shameful.
It is cheaper to just house... It is cheaper to just feed... ...instead of being hateful MFs.
In other words, "Just let them eat cake and die."
Drill baby drill means burn baby burn.
LOL I was watching Rogue One and thinking exactly that. But dayum, some things have too many indicators. Those spacecraft were built before the era of "quiet dark flight decks."
When Trump dies, the Great Good Riddance party will be epic. Start saving your tinsel and ticker tape. Set aside some whiskey and condoms. It is gonna be a wild time, from border to border! #fdjt #8647 #50501 #fucktrump
I tell every Dem I know that they need to fight the MAGAs in every manner possible. There is zero remaining good faith. No incentives encourage cooperation; no penalties discourage bad behavior.
Antifa heroes.
With nature taking its course, we are about to be rid of one pedo.
I am still partial to older versions of "John Brown's Body," including the part about hangin' Jeff Davis from a sour apple tree.
Yarvin and Vance? Assholes!
Goddammit, does the shit from Yarvin ever stop? When I scroll past his words, it takes a half roll of toilet paper and 50 ml of disinfectant to deshittify my screen.
Grand jury nullification is a way to say, "Don't bring us chickenshit cases."
Do things which will cause real damage, and use S-A-L-U-T-E format.
In other words, declaring an emergency then cutting out parts of the constitution is UNLAWFUL.
Hear what Karl is pointing out, as it is important. There are social media accounts dressed up like progressives, but gathering followers for purposes of future DISINFORMATION. Many are bots. Be willing to trim what you follow, getting rid of bots or folks trying to slip in with right wing crap.
Six to eight months and the bastard dies of natural causes, eh? Alright friends, stock up on ticker tape, tinsel, whiskey, and condoms. There's gonna be a wild-ass 50 state block party when he kicks it! LOL start hydrating and doing cardio now...
When you hear the words "Christian nationalist" you should instantly think, "domestic terrorist as dangerous as Timothy McVeigh." They are killers. #maga #christiannationalist #fdjt #ww3 #civilwar #neonazi #neoconfederate youtube.com/watch?v=SYj7...

The FAFO clock is past midnight. It is a smart move to include BLUE STATE guardsmen in these urban depliyments. Keep what remains of the peace. youtube.com/watch?v=Xi75...
No one is above the law. No one. Everyone is mortal. Everyone. youtube.com/watch?v=m1b9...
Escalation. When the institutions have failed, adjudication happens in the streets. There are no rear areas in this fight. youtube.com/watch?v=-oKF...
Stuart Stevens grew up among people steeped in the Lost Cause, unlike Trump who is a fucking pretender, surrounded by fucking pretenders. youtube.com/watch?v=T3Ra...
Trump has been lying his ass off since day one. Dems could (should) have been calling that out since day one. But noooo, someone decided that it was a bad idea. Trump is hateful, corrupt, incompetent, demented, and offensive. Yet, we can trust him with presidential powers? No fucking way!
Apologies... I misspelled her name and hadn't included her Bluesky handle, but she is on this platform and worth the follow: Nancy MacLean @nancymaclean.bsky.social
There may not be a House, but just a memory of it, by 2026. The MAGA GOP is operating in a post-USA mode. It means rule of law is already dead.
If you cannot trust Trump around your kids, then why should he be trusted with presidential powers? He is a predator. He'll fuck your world just show you he can.
The answer is overdue because the invasion of blue cities by red state guardsmen won't be tolerated. Pray that the law solves this before the street does. youtube.com/watch?v=z3Mh...
If "one world or none" is the question, consider what to do about people who's answer is "none." youtube.com/watch?v=zPZa...
The future will be either "one world or none." Steve Hassen in conversation with Bandy Lee. youtube.com/watch?v=7fKE...
One minute, you're in a tall building. The next, you are falling NINE stories to the ground after a Russian missile blasts away that part where you are.
The Manifesto, in JFK's voice. LOL it should have used Lawther's image instead of Stellan Skarsgard, as his monologue is different.
Crucial point @joycewhitevance.bsky.social makes in this discussion: Trump is exploiting laws (like the DC statute) that were written under the assumption that the president won't simply manufacture emergencies as pretexts by pulling them out of his ass. He does this with abandon.
@mdg650hawk.bsky.social Hawk is spot on with his observation that Trump wants the violence. Wants it so bad he can taste it. youtube.com/watch?v=RcRK...
When Trump passes away, there are going to be vast multi-block "Good Riddance" parties in Atlanta, D.C., Baltimore, Philly, Detroit, Chicago, and Oakland. youtube.com/watch?v=RcRK...
Trump is completely full of shit. He has some fantasy in his mind, that there can be some kind of comporomise to end the war. Nope. It ends when the last invader retreats across the Russian border or is KIA.
There are going to be some incredible multi-block parties, with a theme of "good riddance" when his ass goes to room temperature.
That's the problem. The press was sucking the crack pipe of disinformation pushed by anti-Biden factions. The flow of "sleepy Joe" bullshit never stopped since 2020. It was all focused, well funded, and relentless.
Once you see it, you cannot unsee it. Trump's regime is full of KKK, Nazis, and Christian nationalists.
Look more closely at the markets and you will see that they are largely bullshit too, subject to politics as much as math. A SHAKEOUT is happening. Capitol being beaten out of weak hands and flowing upward towards hard libertarian / fascist players who wanna become TRILLIONAIRES.

Domestic anti-protest QRF. #fucktrump #8647 youtube.com/watch?v=0Wyx...
There is no middle ground, so abandon that concept. We need to be more like Todd Beamer and Jeremy Glick on 9/11 - #united93 "We are going to do something." "Let's roll!" youtube.com/watch?v=BXyQ...
Trumpism is based on the most destructive of fantasies. Base a nation on them and the nation dies. youtube.com/watch?v=w_ZK...
Things are accelerating. Buckle up. youtube.com/watch?v=Kw1B...
About Trump threatening to federalize DC: It is his same threat, over and over. If he regime doe that, there is a great risk of triggering an era of violence as happened in Northern Ireland or Kosovo. None of it has to happen, but Trumpers are hateful and reckless bastards, born to fuck up.
Increasingly reliable data that our rate of warming is higher than experts had thought just a few years ago: youtube.com/watch?v=o-pZ...
I created a new curseword: assholous. LOL I've never seen it used before, but it works. Drop the 'e' and append 'ous.' Hehe, thank you for your attention to this matter...
Make no mistake about who the Trumpists are. Carrots don't encourage cooperation; sticks don't discourage assholous behavior. #fdjt #nokings #8647 youtube.com/watch?v=dbum...
While fossil fuel / military-industrial / prison-industrial trillionaires are being made, climate will drive MUCH MORE MIGRATION than previously forecast: youtube.com/watch?v=-z0r...
I'm serious about our economic SHAKEOUT and other mayhem being a path to break the blue state economies and build red state MAGA fascist economies and make red state MAGA fascist TRILLIONAIRES. The money flow is upward. Not trickle-up but firehose-up. youtube.com/watch?v=z_3P...
The MAGA GOP can be seen as running a "Project Apollo" for creating a red MAGA theocracy, with a red MAGA fascist theocracy, and red MAGA fascist TRILLIONAIRES! youtube.com/watch?v=6UMy...
Resistance to the fascists is less about strongly worded letters or broad consensus and more about hot, effective, and relentless direct action. Until they give in or are gone. youtube.com/watch?v=qTt8...
Attention Dems: carrots and sticks don't work on the MAGA GOP. You can't cultivate cooperation, nor can you discourage bad behavior. Just shut them down and oppose them 100%.
The Trump regime is trying to hide parts of the constitution. Not coding errors, but a COUP. youtube.com/watch?v=cYQN...
Texas, jewel if the new Nazi Nation. Jewel of the new Confederacy. Fuck the Texas GOP.
There is another option, but I think it is abusive to priceless historical artifacts: disassembly and shipment by land and sea. Things never go back together the way they were before, neither people nor Space Shuttles. Don't do it. Why do a thing like that for the short man's ego?
The Shuttle Carrier Aircraft (SCAs) are 747-100s. One is in Houston and the other is in Palmdale. Don't fuck with 'em. Just let them stay parked as static displays. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shuttle...
It is a fucking heist. This is about power, not science. MAGA world hates science. They'll readily fight about evolution, cosmology, chemistry, genetics, and thermodynamics. Leave the Shuttles alone! arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...
There is now a retaliatory investigation seeking to find dirt and punish the Smithsonian for opposing this brewing clusterfuck. arstechnica.com/space/2025/0...
Tell me, who wants to be aboard the live shuttle transport flight when one or two engines suck up birds right at V1? Who wants to trust the other systems on a de-mothballed heavy jet? For what do we risk such a loss? For Texas, the state with a MAGA short man complex.
I truly don't like the idea of removing any of the Space Shuttles from where they are, trucking one to a mounting rig, bolting it to an ancient 747, and flying the mashup to Houston. Too much shit can go wrong, resulting in deaths and loss of two flying machines which should have stayed put.
As to those planes, they are heavily modified 747s. As one who spent a lot of time in old Boeings (737s, 757s, and 767s), lesson one is OLD PLANES ARE TEMPERAMENTAL. They never fly with a clean logbook. Sonething is always waiting to break.
Safety? I guess it is fuck safety of people and priceless artifacts. There are no airworthy shuttle transports available. They are old as hell and retired from flight. So are the flight crews. Training and checking out pilots will take time, and real life is always more tricky than the schoolhouse.
