@georgetakei Man considers calling in a drone strike against a pizza delivery person who decided to stop for a bathroom break, or buy flowers from a roadside stand.

25 corporations pretending to honor Pride month have donated $18 million to anti-LGBTQ+ politicians since November 2022.

Ignore the marketing and follow the money.

Trump had been involved in 4,000+ lawsuits before he ever rode down that escalator in 2015. He's not in legal trouble because he's running for president. He's running for president to escape his legal trouble.

@rbreich And, a bunch of rich megalomaniacs said "Hell yes, a criminal POTUS would work just fine for us - which anonymous PAC do we send the billions to ?"

Trump has told oil execs he would:

-Immediately expand drilling

-Gift the industry $110 billion in tax breaks

-Reverse environmental protections in exchange for $1 billion in campaign contributions

This is a man who's literally willing to sell out the future of our species.

But by all means, stay off of Twitter/X, and def do not re-post content from there for me to be tempted to follow.

Justice Roberts refused to testify in a hearing on Supreme Court ethics.

Thomas secretly accepted gifts from a GOP megadonor and his wife was involved in Jan 6.

Alito flew not one, but two insurrectionist flags.

The list goes on.

Is it any wonder Americans don't trust SCOTUS?

@rbreich To me, being a simple kind of man, then having the power of US Senate Majority, I would end ALL funding of the Judicial Branch until he sees fit to show up and be held to the standards of accountability that apply to the rest of us.
And then it would get hard for them...if I were Senate Majority leader.
In fact, as a citizen, I begin to question the legitimacy of Supreme Court decisions, just as I would have during the times of the Fugitive Slave Act.

I know that it was overshadowed by Trump's lawyers arguing that presidents should be able to murder political opponents, but I don't think I'll ever get over Clarence Thomas hearing a case related to Jan 6 knowing that his wife was an active participant in the attempted coup.

@rbreich I guess the right response from our Constitutional system should be for him to be impeached. He has and is clearly violating his Oath, and if anyone deserves the remedy of impeachment, the only available remedy short of his resignation or death, it's Clarence.
Some US Congressperson needs to introduce such articles of impeachment, and the Senate should face the compulsory vote on it. We had the time to do it to a Homeland Security Secretary for far less substantial reasons.
But nobody will, because "that would be premature" according to Conventional Wisdom.
Who exactly decides when it is not premature ? Surely we don't wait until we have the votes ?

The normalization of political violence, the dehumanization of the 'enemy,' and the use of stochastic terror. While these may sound like dystopian concepts from a sci-fi film, they are, unfortunately, the chilling reality of today's political landscape. Strap in, because The Big Picture is delving deep into these unsettling tactics shaping our world. https://thinkbigpicture.substack.com/p/trump-threats-violence-maga-2024

@georgetakei I get the feeling that you have lived though this cycle before, and are not looking forward to doing it again.
