I think a lot about Biden/Garland keeping David Weiss on as US Attorney, because they didn't want to meddle with the Hunter probe. And then Garland elevating Weiss to special counsel so he could convict Hunter. And this having ZERO IMPACT on the GOP certainty that Biden was rigging the DOJ

The arguments against impeaching Trump next year are all bad and spurious, but they're even weaker as applied to all the other impeachable members of the Cabinet, etc. And impeaching Hegseth for literal murder should be top of the list.

This is pretty fucking wild. I had assumed in a worst case scenario he would target blue zip codes and toss ballots based on technicalities but this is even worse than I imagined.
Not only is this system astonishingly untested, USPS has simultaneously implemented an
impracticable zero percent failure rate.
13 When ballots are submitted to USPS in large-volume
batches, if any one ballot in the batch cannot be verified against the Portal, all ballots in that
batch will be rejected. For example, if a state election official brings a batch of 10,000 ballots to
USPS and USPS is unable to match just one of those ballots against the Portal – because, for
example, someone has recently changed their name after marriage or they’ve moved – then
USPS would refuse to mail the remaining 9,999 ballots as well. As the whistleblower notes,

A Vietnamese man was beaten on the tarmac in Fort Worth when he refused to get on the plane. Another man, who was shouting, “This is not right!” and “political things” during the flight, was knocked against his seat, dragged to the back of the plane, and put into the full-body straitjacket known as “the WRAP.” Guards stood over him and laughed. He doesn’t know when the man was let out of the WRAP, but he saw that he was back in his shackles by the time they got to Ghana. (All adult passengers on ICE flights are shackled and the ankles and wrists tied to a waist chain.)

Most of the guards were drinking alcohol from red and blue cups and laughing at the detainees. (Another passenger on the flight who did not want to be identified confirmed this.) If anyone stood up to use the lavatory, the guards swarmed them and shouted at them, “Get down now!” An older guard who was not drinking said this was going to be his last ICE flight, because he was going to quit.

The flight medic was repeatedly summoned to check on a man from Maryland, who had gotten a concussion a few days earlier when the driver of an ICE vehicle braked suddenly. The man kept passing out. He was shaking uncontrollably and saying his head hurt. The flight medic told him there wasn’t much he could do.

Dietrich Bonhoeffer was an anti-fascist German Lutheran pastor who opposed Hitler and the Nazi Party so effectively that they murdered him in 1945. He is only a bad guy if you literally spend all your time on far-right, neo-Nazi websites and have pickled your brain in fascist group chats.

Comic panel of Donald Duck and a wide-eyed young Mickey Mouse. Donald's speech bubble: "Democrats should do a huge middle class tax cut to address affordability." Mickey's speech bubble: "Fool that you are, for you treat taxation as a burden rather than the means by which our burdens are eased. Behold a civilization rich in private wealth yet starved of public provision, where every man owns what his grandfathers could not imagine and yet trembles at the thought of how he will weather an illness or loss of livelihood. Will you fight for an affirmative vision of broad contribution and universal benefit? Or will you perish like a dog?"
