I keep wondering what the Generals/Admirals who have been purged for refusing to kiss the orangeass are doing now. I have a fond wish that they are banding together to lead when the end of this era of insane corruption ends, and the armed Services need to be rebuilt from the very bottom up.

Trump’s retribution tour might actually require journalists to work again instead of simply being scriveners rewriting what they read on Truth Social, X and Tic Tok.

It seems like their model is when Reagan fired the air traffic controllers and decertified their union 44 years ago. Unfortunately he had legal cover. Vought and the administration will try to use their own legal justification.

It’s right there in Article II, right after the section that grants the president immunity for criminal acts committed while in office. We owe a lot to these stalwart champions of original intent who are correcting 250 years of constitutional malfeasance by their predecessors.

As would being banned from the “White House Press Corps”, where all they get to do is sit and be fed the Lie of the Hour.

I’m for a shut down and calling trump’s bluff. If he carries thru his threat the resulting chaos is all his.

I’d give the six of them small private (very private) rooms with 3 meals provided every day and an hour outside the bars for exercise. Which, like their appointments to The Court, would be for life.

Like I keep saying: fascist collaboration can never be forgiven. There can be no redemption for them.

“If federal judges, having dispensed with the presumption of regularity in the functioning of the government, no longer give the Justice Department the benefit of the doubt in court, then we shouldn’t either.”
“The implications of that shift are enormous, but too many editors and producers are not fully grappling with them yet.”

“NBC White House correspondent Chuck Todd‘s declaration that it’s not his job to inform viewers when politicians spread misinformation was noted by several progressive blogs today, including Talking Points Memo.”
Appearing on MSNBC‘s Morning Joe today (9/18/13), Todd responded to Ed Rendell’s claim that Obamacare opponents are full of misinformation about the program by explaining that this was because Republicans “have successfully messaged against it.” But wasn’t journalism’s job to expose misinformation? No, Todd insisted; if the public was misinformed about the Affordable Care Act, it was the president’s fault for not pushing back:
What I always love is people say, “Well, it’s you folks’ fault in the media.” No, it’s the president of the United States’ fault for not selling it.
It’s sad that NBC‘s White House correspondent thinks his job is merely to convey politicians pronouncements, with no care about whether they are true or false. In fact, scrutinizing claims, particularly those from powerful officials, is an essential part of journalism. It’s embarrassing to have to cite elementary principles to one the nation’s most influential reporters, but Todd should consider reviewing the Society of Professional Journalists’ Code of Ethics, where, under the heading “Seek Truth and Report It,” the very first tenet implores journalists to “test the accuracy of information from all sources.”

Trying to get a share of another company - and this one’s Canadian! Who bought shares last week, by the way?
On Tuesday evening, Reuters reported that the administration is seeking a stake of up to 10% in Vancouver, British Columbia-based Lithium Americas as part of renegotiations for a $2.26 billion loan the company received from the Department of Energy for its Thacker Pass lithium mine.

The mine is in Nevada

Exactly. Voters gave Republicans control all branches of government. Republican White House, Republican House, Republican Senate, Republican Supreme Court. Republicans are in charge. Republicans own it. Let them shut it down. Let them fire everyone. Let the voters decide if they want to continue with the corrupt circus or vote for Democrats straight down the ballot. That should be the unified message. Let them fail ffs!
