It's true that the political system is sick, but blaming Obama for it is 100% bullshit. How the fuck would he have "secured the Supreme Court?" How would that have worked?

That food is just going to rot in warehouses, then.

No he didn't. Oh, he says he did, but those Democrats should ignore it and continue working until the orange asshole has to send in his DOGE-stapo. It's not a legal firing.

The answer is always going to be, "Because you're running the incredibly bloated Windows operating system."

Nowhere did I say that was the "ultimate method." Every single thing the orange asshole tries to do should be obstructed and interfered with in every way possible.

Make him do it. Make him do it over and over. New contempt charges every time one of these asshat lawyers refuses a lawful court order. Take up all of Trump's time with having to continuously pardon his own lawyers.

Throw. That. Lawyer. In. PRISON. There may be no way to enforce the law on Trump himself, but make lawyers afraid to do his dirty work.

Indeed. We've forgotten our history on many levels, and as such, we're looking pretty well doomed to repeat it.

It hasn't been for a long time. SCOTUS already declared Trump king, and Congress has completely abdicated its constitutional role to remove lawless presidents.

Trump is the most obvious symptom, but the underlying cancer is a deep-seated streak of fascination with authoritarianism in this country.

It's easy to forget this, since the United States ultimately sided against the Axis powers in WWII, but there has always been a sizeable contingent of full-throated fascism supporters in this country.

They've spent decades honing their messaging and figuring out how to break the minds of Americans, and Trump is the culmination of that project.

Uhh, think you could rephrase this so it doesn't sound like you're rooting for the Waymo in any Waymo-bicycle accident?

That's actually really shocking. I looked it up, and you're correct. Hijackings were extremely common in the 60s and 70s.

So, not that it matters anymore, since this is now a dictatorship, but that law is only applicable during a declared war. I wonder who Congress declared war on?

 

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-Tenn.) proposed an amendment to the U.S. Constitution that would allow President Trump to serve a third term in the White House so that the country “can sustain the bold leadership our nation so desperately needs.”

For the record, Trump is 78 years old. Assuming he survives and manages to stay in office, he would be 86 when we're finally rid of him.

 

The end of an era in Eugene. :'(

 

WASHINGTON (AP) — The judge overseeing Donald Trump’s 2020 election interference case made public Friday a heavily redacted trove of documents that provide a small glimpse into the evidence prosecutors will present if the case ever goes to trial.

The nearly 1,900 pages of documents collected by special counsel Jack Smith’s team were initially filed under seal to help U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan decide what allegations can proceed to trial following the Supreme Court opinion in July that conferred broad immunity on former presidents for official acts they take in office.

That's gonna be some serious reading over the weekend.

I hate the fact that it's almost fall now, and we're seeing temperatures around 100 degrees fahrenheit and smoke from first fires. In September.

 

Just a heads up, there's a severe thunderstorm alert right now:

Just saying.

 

If you're attending, you can read the Peach Pit online here. I'm not going to be able to make it this year, but hope Eugeneans who can have a great time.

And stay hydrated! It's still going to be beastly hot out!
