The Most Dangerous Line Trump Could Still Cross

Originally published at: The Most Dangerous Line Trump Could Still Cross

A lot of things happened. Here are some of the things. This is TPM’s Morning Memo. Sign up for the email version. Will The Judiciary Hold? Nothing about the last week in American politics should be sugarcoated. We are in a bad way. How bad remains to be seen. A key marker for how bad things might…

Trump is a stupid newsmedia’s idea of what a tough, savvy guy is.

I’d post a picture of the cat we’re pet sitting but she’s camera shy. And I wasn’t first anyway, so blame @ClutchCargo.

Duck, duck, goose Junior.

Andrea Zanoni, the regional counsellor and environmentalist, said an online video from Field Ethos – published by Trump Jr and marketed as a “premier lifestyle publication for the unapologetic man” – showed “some people, including Donald Trump Jr, killing various ducks”.

Sitting here listening to the Senate committee vote on RFKj…

14 ayes…13 nays.

And that’s how our democracy and health crumble

Some people had put their hopes in Cassidy…hah!

I am appalled by this story (which quotes TPM) about the rogue 25 year old black hat coder who was given the Read AND write keys to the kingdom by Musk.

How soon before hunting for humans becomes a broadcast sport in America.

We are currently watching them track down and hunt employees who don’t agree with them…when will bullets replace pink slips.

I am completely shocked that a single individual has access to the SSH keys for the BFS systems. This should require two individuals into a password, separately, to decrypt the key, to login, to push changes that have gone through rigorous security reviews. Anything less than that opens up our entire economy to significant risk due to incompetence or malfeasance.

Marko Eliz should be arrested.

The most dangerous line Trump could still cross?

Actually, he still holds the nuclear codes. Hopefully, no one reminds him of that.

Good to see Whitehouse finally announce a No vote on Kennedy … Kennedy is obviously unfit and dangerous, and Whitehouse should have clearly stated his opposition from the moment Kennedy was nominated.

Desk Searches

Your work area will be searched.

If there’s any indication you were doing the job you were hired and ordered to perform, then you will be terminated for… working. It’s your fault. You should have known better.

I’m just gobsmacked at their fealty whether its out of fear or attempts at favor, makes no difference. The result is the same. Capitulation, and for the worst reasons.

She told me I had to talk to her agent about name, image, and likeness rights. Apparently being a cat named “Bunny” creates some level of notoriety.

Josh and TPM in general have a lot of gaslighting-nerve wondering why Democratic politicians aren’t yellng an effective resistance plan from the rooftops when they consciously deep-sixed ANY official TPM mention of the post-Luigi phenomenon and carefully policed the Hive for relevant discussions.

The only effective resistance will be from the people who previously supported Trump. Those people will only be motivated by pain and fear.

If you’re not ok with sending a Nigerian prince your personal and private financial information, why would you be ok with a South African Nazi and his Peter Pan Posse barging into government offices and stealing it?

Wait until the price of bread goes up. Lots of baked goods made with eggs too. Not just stand-alone dishes.
