Dark. The people (Republicans) who did the right thing to protect our country on 1/6 are now being punished. A clear message to anyone who stands against what they have planned next. We are so far off the cliff. 🇺🇸

True enough. And yet (I didn’t bother to get into this detail), the 25th Amendment was actually ratified in 1967. The cliché about our founding fathers is just easy. I don’t think ANYONE could have imagined the departures from our Constitution and norms we’ve seen in the last decade or so.

In an interview with Real America’s Voice, the Pentagon secretary said the firing squad would carry out the sentence at Fort Hood, Texas, at 1pm on Thursday, 3 December. This would be the first US military execution in more than 60 years. Continue reading...

My country is so far down the authoritarianism road, I’m not sure we’ll ever recover. “Abroad, Amnesty International’s most recent annual review lists Afghanistan, China, North Korea, Saudi Arabia, Somalia, Taiwan, the United Arab Emirates and Yemen among the countries that still use firing squads.”

Trump is sending Americans $500 checks with a letter blaming Biden for supposedly overcharging them for Obamacare. But as @citizencohn.bsky.social explains on MS NOW, there was no overcharge, and Trump is repackaging money meant to help run the ACA as a personal refund.

Disgusting. And Trump is quiet. Perhaps he knows he shouldn’t say what he thinks: “Putin can go ahead and bomb buses full of civilians in Ukraine, I don’t care. Just make Zelenskyy stop bombing the Russian diesel.”

Russian forces deliberately bombed civilian passenger buses in Kramatorsk, Donetsk Oblast, killing 30 people and injuring 18 others. The dead and wounded lay scattered across the streets as emergency medical teams raced to save lives, themselves exposed to the threat of further Russian strikes.

Sadly, it’s the Cabinet that votes for removal of the President. So, that won’t work in this case. Our founders never imagined the level of sycophancy we are now seeing in the current administration, nor the absolute dereliction of duty by the Congress.
