thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 28/06/2026Also a Day 1 Impeachment vote kills basically all the political capital you might gain from hearings. 000
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 28/06/2026It's not actually easier. The rules are the same. You might find a cabinet member or two you could get some Republican support on, but the 2/3rds needed in the Senate is almost certainly way out of reach. 000
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 16/05/2026The "Three Mildly Annoying Blows of the Island of Britain" is low-key hilarious. I've always loved that formula in old Welsh tales and this skewers it. 091
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 14/04/2026Whisper networks like this exist to protect women not to protect creeps. And it's really hard to go public with this when the whispers are all you have - anonymous warnings, no one willing to go on the record. 020
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 18/03/2026A companion of Peter. Also called John, just to be confusing. 130
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 20/02/2026He definitely hated Trump long before Trump was President. 120
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 20/02/2026It's not clear where or when the saying originated, but it was around at least by the 70s, which isn't long after the Voting Rights Act made widespread voting by black people possible. It's tone deaf to say the least. More obviously so when it was coined. 030
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 06/02/2026The good thing is that if they're letting you sit and wait you're gonna be okay. If they take one look and make you the priority, that's not good. 100
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 25/01/2026But the point is that's all Christians. "Cafeteria Christians" is usually an insult applied to the "wrong" kind of Christians by those who think their tradition is the one that got it right. 120
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 23/01/2026Johnny Melnibone and his giant black rune-carved stratocaster Soulsinger, almost killed me when I first read this 110
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 22/01/2026I don't remember exactly where the turning point was, but the first few John Carter books were great and then started to slide. I've got a vague memory of thinking the same about Tarzan, but I haven't read the latter ones of those in decades. 120
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 08/01/2026It brings back memories and makes me want to reread them. Again. 020
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 04/01/2026The US left (at least online) is laser focused on attacking Democrats. Has been for at least a decade. 090
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 03/01/2026So, what specific authority does Schumer use to stop this? 100
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 03/01/2026Yeah, Schumer needs to use his Constitutional powers as Senate minority leader to arrest Trump or take over the military. /s What do you want him to do? He's limited to basically "strongly worded statements" and trying to persuade Republican Senators to act. 100
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 02/01/2026Probably still the best idea, but when they're mostly harassing minority and immigrant daycares, you can see why staff might hesitate. 020
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 01/01/2026IMO, Badger isn't as consistent. Don't get me wrong, when it's good, it's one of the best, but there are sections that feel like he's phoning it in. The first year or so is consistently good, iirc. 120
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 31/12/2025That's probably the only reason it went public though. Otherwise it would have kept a level of (im)plausible deniability, which actually helps avoid escalation. 010
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 29/12/2025IIRC, it also just jumps right in with a new case and no real origin/backstory for GrimJim other than the infodump from FutureJack in the last arc. 110
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 27/12/2025It would have, if First Comics hadn't gone bankrupt and the rights gotten tangled up in court for years. 020
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 26/12/2025Maybe the Court ruling that he had immunity had more to do with that? 010
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 26/12/2025He was protected by the judges he appointed. You don't need to look for hidden conspiracies when it's right out in the open. The SC gave him immunity for most of what he did as President. What else do you need? 030
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 24/12/2025Domestic abuse is also pretty common among police officers 2130
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 23/12/2025There should be no special treatment. If he's guilty of anything hang him. But we also shouldn't fall for Trump's obvious attempt to deflect by selectively redacting and releasing files to smear Clinton. 180
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 23/12/2025It's not about having a hero or wanting to protect Clinton. It's about Trump using him to distract from his own crimes. 1140
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 23/12/2025Are you implying Clinton had Epstein killed? In 2019? In federal prison? 110
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 23/12/2025They were good, but flashback stories. Nostalgia rather than moving forward. 120
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 23/12/2025Not a cliffhanger. Without spoiling anything, the story wraps up nicely, but there's basically a "Grimjack will return" line on the final with some hints about how. 120
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 23/12/2025One of the best 80s series and one of the tragic victims of the First Comics bankruptcy, along with several other brilliant titles. Still sad they never were able to follow up on the tease in the last issue. 230
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 21/12/2025No. Why are we playing his game? Why are we helping deflect attention from Trump while his team puts out photos that have nothing to do with Epstein that make it look like Clinton's guilty? 070
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 21/12/2025Why? If Trump's DoJ has the evidence, let them bring charges against Clinton. If not, why play his game? 2120
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 21/12/2025If we use the same "due process" this admin uses, it'll be based on donations to Trump's campaign. 000
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 21/12/2025Fuck Clinton, but you're falling for their game. They want you talking about Clinton, not Trump. That's what they slanted the redactions towards. Whether we're defending him or trying to take him down, we're focused on Clinton instead of Trump. He wins. 1213
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 21/12/2025Nah, they're counting on that. They want the false equivalency. They want you focused on Clinton and Democrats. They don't care whether you're defending him or attacking him. They want you talking about him rather than Trump. 010
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 13/12/2025And frankly even without the more serious things, I realized that I liked not getting a basic cold a few times a year. 110
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 10/12/2025Jeffries is the minority leader. The Majority needs to start impeachment. Really, this should trigger the 25th, but that needs the VP and the Cabinet full of Trump loyalists. 100
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 09/12/2025"Biden's autopen pardons are all void. He didn't even know who he was pardoning" It's all projection, remember. 010
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 08/12/2025But Jeremiah wrote during Josiah's reign and during the Babylonian exile. It was Josiah who seems to have centralized the cult and pushed to end the worship of other Gods. It's before then that we don't see evidence of any attempt to suppress worship of Asherah or other cults. 000
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 06/12/2025but even applied going forward it introduces all sorts of complexity. We've relied for so long on birth certificates as proof of citizenship, it's hard to know how to change that. 030
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 06/12/2025What they mean by "birthright" is born on US soil rather that born to US citizens. Probably, judging by the arguments I've seen, including born to legal permanent residents. I don't think even the most radical Court would make this a retroactive change, 220
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 01/12/2025If you wouldn't, then fire Hegseth today and have your DOJ bring everyone in the chain of command that led to that prosecuted. Otherwise, the buck stops with you. 081
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 30/11/2025Who cares? Focus. Trump's the one committing war crimes, not Schumer. 000
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 29/11/2025The Trump administration is committing war crimes. Let's attack the Democratic Senate Minority Leader. Focus people. 110
thejeff @thejefty.bsky.social · 20/11/2025We wouldn't have had the next Dem Health Secretary a full on anti-vaxxer. 100
