Someone is going to Luigi this man.

This may be just a freak accident, but the fact that it happened so soon after the DC crash...people will think its Trump and Musk again. People are starting to air travel in the US is unsafe and they're linking it to Trump, not a good sign at all.

Just an aside but thanks China for being the newshound again for ExComms :D here. 👍👍👍😘


I've been just sitting back on the porch, keeping my powder dry and keeping an eye on stuff but not getting too wound up too much of the time like I tended to years ago with trump.

I mean I have the same level of utter revulsion for trump and the various forms of life that inhabit the magasphere, but the last couple months I'm just conserving most of my energy for real-life productive countering actions to take to trump rule.

I still have the same views I shared on ES on all things trump/maga.

I've always said the Dems/ left have tons of their own flaws to work on, as does any large group of humans.

But comparing their negatives to what's going on with the right wing of our political dodo bird is like comparing some cringe dude who watches way too much porn to a serial rapist. Priorities.

Several top FBI officials are told to resign or be fired as Trump continues federal purge

Several top FBI executives promoted by former Director Christopher Wray were told Thursday to resign or retire or they would be fired, according to multiple current and former bureau officials.

The purge of senior officials includes about a half-dozen “executive assistant directors,” who are some of the bureau’s top managers overseeing criminal, national security and cyber investigations. They are career civil servants, meaning they can't be fired without cause.

From the Harry Sisson tweet above:
This is dictator stuff here folks.
Remember this?

Trump’s vow to only be a dictator on ‘day one’ follows growing worry over his authoritarian rhetoric

He's a notorious liar, so you had to know he was going to try and be a dictator not just on day 1, but "from" day 1.

'Stuff of nightmares': Expert imagines four ways Trump could try to serve a third term

Donald Trump has openly mused about serving an unconstitutional third term as president, and a legal analyst said it's not too early to start worrying.

The newly inaugurated president is "notorious for bending norms and breaking laws," wrote Politico legal editor James Romoser, and while the U.S. Constitution's 22nd Amendment makes clear that "no person shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice," there are four scenarios where he might carry out "the stuff of liberal nightmares and MAGA dreams" and hold onto power for at least four more years.

“Anyone who says that obviously the 22nd Amendment will deter Trump from trying for a third term has been living on a different planet than the one I’ve been living on,” said Ian Bassin, an associate White House counsel for Barack Obama who is now executive director of the nonprofit advocacy group Protect Democracy.

Rosomer mapped out four paths Trump could try to remain president in spite of the constitutional prohibition.

"He could generate a movement to repeal the 22nd Amendment directly," Rosomer wrote. "He could exploit a little-noticed loophole in the amendment that might allow him to run for vice president and then immediately ascend back to the presidency. He could run for president again on the bet that a pliant Supreme Court won’t stop him. Or he could simply refuse to leave — and put a formal end to America’s democratic experiment."

Rep. Andy Ogles (R-TN) has already introduced a constitutional amendment that would allow Trump, but not Obama or Bill Clinton, to seek a third term, and his supporters are talking like it's a done deal.

“People are already talking about changing the 22nd Amendment so he can serve a third term,” said Texas Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick in a social media post Trump later shared. “If this pace and success keeps up for 4 years, and there is no reason it won’t, most Americans really won’t want him to leave.”

Trump could just run for a third term and dare anyone to stop him, and Rosomer wasn't so sure that anyone would step up.
