Republican behavior at the Jack Smith hearing reinforces a fact that should be obvious by now: They will stop at nothing and lie about everything to seize total power. They are fascist traitors.

Yes. Tom Cruise allows Scientology slaves [I have no other word for the people forced to do labor for him for no pay] to build cars for him; he traps wives in a compound, forcing them to spend a year planning their escape while he's filming in Iceland, and makes money for an org that is evil.
Email from HBO Max. Subject line: Tom Cruise does it all.

If you want to really know how the outrage machine gets fired up: 1. Schmitt plans to drop “bombshell” on Smith 2. Someone plants story that Schmitt is a Vance VP contender to run same day 3. Right-wing Twittersphere gets talking points 4. Schmitt steps in it 5. Scheduled tweets go out anyway

To quote a @chrislhayes.bsky.social jape at the Roberts Court: "They go fast when they want to go fast and slow when they want to go to slow and the decision is *always* an ideological one."
Steve Vladeck, a professor a Georgetown Law, writes up breaking developments from the Supreme Court. The last post in the three-post thread is the kicker, for our purpose here.

"#BREAKING: Over dissents from the three Democratic appointees, #SCOTUS grants a stay in the third-country removals case; clears way for Trump admin. to continue removing non-citizens without a full chance to litigate the conditions in those countries (while also taking up the full merits appeal). 

"Link: [URL of a supremecourt.gov PDF]

"By my math, the order was filed 11 minutes after the Trump administration's reply brief came in."

Tyrants view educated citizens as their greatest enemy. Slaveholders stopped the enslaved from learning to read. Nazis burned books. Dictators censor media. That’s why Trump is attacking education, science, museums, the media, and the arts – to prevent us from learning. It's Fascism 101.

Every college in this country decided that expelling and/or sending the police to beat the shit out of their own students for the crime of being opposed to genocide was their top priority. That and giving Trump complete control of what they teach. Contrast that with how they treat rapists.

Don't forget that @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social wants to let the GOP get away with all of this. He said let's turn the page and get on with business. He's on the side of the Nazis if he thinks this kind of thing is acceptable in the United States of America. This can't be allowed to slide. It can't.

This is the answer. It cost an infinitesimal percentage of the amount that rich "liberals" waste on donations to milquetoasts like Schumer and Jeffries, not to mention horsesshit the Atlantic. And it would be wildly successful. Sports, gossip, entertainment and roasting the shit out of our rulers.

That Rolling Stome article on “Choosin Texas” complaining about how people who haven’t heard the song are siloing themselves is hilarious to me. Popular Country music in the US is possibly the MOST siloed genre in the country, especially in the 21st century.

When fascists win, centrists get to feel good about themselves because they are kinder and more tolerant than those people. When progressives win, centrists find themselves cruel and narrow minded by comparison, and can't bear that feeling.

The "iced coffee at an interview" thing is driving me insane because apparently it's lost cultural knowledge that you're not supposed to be eating or drinking when conducting a certain level of serious business with another person.

"Voting for my opponent makes you a chump and a loser so you're better off staying home" is an important type of persuasion, just the same as "vote for me instead of the other guy" is, and in a highly polarized electorate one that has a much larger audience than the audience of swing voters.
