Helps bail out Trump from his own idiotic decisions, while reducing gov revenue and will earn no credit from voters in the process. Brilliant.

doing this without attaching it to a war powers vote is political malpractice

You say it's doomed but I can picture the same 12 Democrats voting for it as always

worth remembering, David Lynch directed β€œfix your hearts or die” specifically at transphobes. it wasn’t a generic β€œno mean people allowed” statement, it was said by his Twin Peaks character in defense of a trans woman he cared for and deeply respected.

Anyone in Congress introduce articles of impeachment yet or are we all just ok with this for another day

Hmmm I think it might actually be warm enough to eat lunch outside today

Isn't a national reaction of "oh my God they found another crime to impeach him on?!!" better politically than "Someone whack the Democratic party with a stick and see if they're still alive"? I think it would be!

If an official commits an impeachable offense and nobody acts to impeach, it is no longer an impeachable offense.

People who oppose impeachment as β€œpointless” because it seems unlikely to result in removal do not understand this very simple point and seem unwilling to even try to understand it.

until you're in a place with three-day old snow you don't realize that at any time 81% of the surface of the earth is soaked in dog pee

Pictures emerging from today’s heavy bombing of Isfahan. Damages to the mirror works, tiles, floors, and carved wooden doors of Safavid palaces of Aali Qapu and Chehelsotoon. Both of these are within the UNESCO Heritage complex of Naqsh-e Jahan Square. These are 16th-17th century bldgs.

I've always thought we could just use the test you take to become a citizen, or when I'm feeling less charitable, "what was the cause of the civil war"

Important to note that actual spring and actual fall together total about 32 and a half hours

To be left dead by attacks is the natural state of the Middle Easterner, while in the Western culture (also Israel somehow) being killed is a major taboo.

It's been 65 days since Donald Trump invaded a sovereign state, abducted its leader, and declared the US will "run" the state indefinitely

It's been 9 days since Trump launched a war (his word) against Iran without congressional approval

No House member has filed articles of impeachment for either

Next time somebody says they're going to run the country like a business, we might want to check and see if they ever successfully ran a business

"surely the third democratic presidency to come to power after a norm-breaking and warcrime-cheering Republican administration will pursue justice against their predecessors," I repeat like a mantra til I collapse

I saw a guy at a book reading once stand up, say, "This is more of a comment than a question" and then sat down. It took everyone a second but everyone cracked up

It's shocking to me that giving the dumbest piece of shit in history, who's never had to face a consequence for any of his dumb shitty actions, all the power in the world, has resulted in dumb shitty things happening to everyone

damn, if the Childcrusher 5000 GTX pickup truck owners can’t afford gas, how are they going to be able to tote their massive loads of a single loaf of bread and a canned Starbucks latte

I mean this only half jokingly but pretty much any country could just ship oil to Cuba right now and the US really couldn't do anything could it
