Everything is getting more expensive, but if you want something to exist, you have to spend money, recommend it to others, and say a prayer if/when private equity buys it. Restaurants, indie ice cream shops, movies, news outlets, clothing, art, music, live comedy, food banks, mutual aid orgs, etc.

I understand that paywalls are annoying, but the grim reality for everything right now, is if you want something to exist, you have to put money towards it. Every creative person is having their life's work hoovered up by AI companies. Layoffs never end. Private equity keeps making things worse.

This proves only two things. The Ukrainian campaign against Russian refineries is causing serious damage. Putin has asked Trump to help him out and the US president obliged.

“Yankees private equity deal suggests that MLB will soon be more amenable to private equity than it currently is” From Craig Calcaterra’s excellent newsletter “Cup of Coffee”… not everything is about baseball!

The sad and frightening truth is this: The President of the United States doesn’t know his keister from his ulna/olecranon. Time to go Donny…

What makes you think that if you push this idea (4 more SCOTUS judges) NOW, that the repugnant Republicans will not say, “Hey great idea!” and they put four more sycophants on BEFORE the Orange Felon/Fascist/Fraud/Fool leaves office? First get the Senate. Then you can do this…

I’m not sure how to convey this succinctly to legacy media who continues to go to Manchin for his opinion. But let me try: No one, and I mean no one, gives a fuck what Joe Manchin thinks about anything.

Take this to the bank: if Trump Always Chickens Out (True): Republicans Inevitably Chicken Out (Also True). Collins, Tillis, Cornyn, MTG… on and on. TACO/RICO…

Ok. Just think about this for just a minute… A billion dollars (1,000,000,000) is one THOUSAND million dollar bills.

Rep. Ogles: "Muslims don’t belong in American society," Rep. Fine on "mainstream Muslims": "I think you should destroy them first" Sen. Tuberville: "The enemy is inside the gates". Rep. Roy posted "No more Muslims" on his social media. None of them censured by Democrats. No penalty.

For gods sake… the 25th amendment requires the acquiescence of people who were issued knee pads as required kit for their office! Including the 2 people who were 86’d from office! An unrelenting push for impeachment is our only hope Obewan!

Today I wrote about Lockjaw Bovino getting canned and how, perhaps, we're beginning to see that the Regime is not immune to popular and political gravity. But I also wrote about how not much else has changed and how we have to keep fucking punching them. www.cupofcoffeenews.com/cup-of-coffe...
None of this earns anyone credit or anything – they're all still fascist criminals who deserve to be introduced to an Italian Esso station canopy – but I feel like all of this points to a White House that is, at the very least, preparing to throw Noem under the bus right after Bovino. The only questions are (a) if they plan to give her a pardon as she's shown the door; and (b) how, and in what form Stephen Miller survives this. Which I think he will because he's Trump's Special Little Boy, but I certainly think that he'll be forced to assume a much lower profile for a good while. In the meantime, the American Federation of Government Employees – which in addition to representing V.A. employees also represents border patrol officers – has called on Noem and Miller to resign or be fired due to their role in the murder of Alex Pretti.

Maybe I'm wrong about Noem's head being on the block. After all, one will never go broke betting against anyone in Trump World possessing a conscience or the ability to admit mistakes. But I do think that the mood of the country – and the press and various politicians – has changed markedly since Alex Pretti's murder on Saturday. And I think someone in the White House has, at the very least, figured out that demonizing murder victims and treating a brutal authoritarian crackdown as if it were a video game is not a smart tack to take. They know they're losing, they're panicking, and they're trying to limit the damage.

If I'm right about this – and especially if Noem is shitcanned – it'll serve as a good reminder that even these freaks are not immune to politics and public opinion. Which is significant even if not much else changes in the near term, because it shows us that these motherfuckers can be defeated.Or, as Churchill once said: "Now this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."

A punch has been landed. It has come at great and grievous cost, but it has been landed. It's gonna take a hell of a lot more punches to win this fight, but they now know that they can be hurt. And it's our job to keep fucking punching until they're dead on the goddamn ground.

I know it’s too much to expect them to know their history, but if the American Revolution had a motto, it definitely would not have been “immigrants go home.” It would have been “get your fucking soldiers out of our cities.”
