"Bad for democracy" is kind of their whole vision at this point. A regime whose constituency seems to hover in the 30% range loses in a democracy. That's why DJT is trying to gut the midterms, and has basically admitted it.

Without a declaration by Congress, it's just Sparkling Murder.

"Democracy Dies In Darkness"

Visitors to the U.S. Capitol now have a visible marker of the siege there on Jan. 6, 2021, and a reminder of the officers who fought and were injured that day...

The installation was witnessed by a WP reporter at about 4AM EST Saturday.

Do ALL the deportation jets get " a bedroom with a queen-sized bed, a bar and four flat-screen TVs"? You'd think they'd note that in the self-deportation ads...

What does it say that they had to reach back to the Korean War for their medal winner? No doubt it was well-deserved, but it was hardly the State of the Union 2026.

cyclopes

I don't want to think that I've become numb to all the crazy shit coming at us 24/7 lately, but last week it was Obama and DJT vague-posting about Aliens and this week the NYT is floating a theory that humans (and everything else) evolved from cyclopes, and all I can think is "sure, why not...?"

The messaging is already starting for whatever evidence Tulsi Gabbard is about to fabricate. REMEMBER: Every person in the Trump administration 1.0 said there was NO outcome determinative FOREIGN ELECTION INTERFERENCE in 2020.

None of this was hidden. He did it last time. He bragged about doing it last time. He gave a speech saying he’d do it again. What more do you need?

Apparently, for a lot of newsrooms, quite a bit more. trib.al/1qA4Eq9

They have the Venezuelan president in custody. What will it take to get him to "confess" to election manipulation and give them the grounds they're looking for?
