Every instruction on that list is still in force today. Not one has ever been withdrawn.
They have never once gone back down the list to see which rung the fire started on.
They just screw the next one on and tell you to keep climbing.
Stephen Miller is now Trump's Chief of Staff.
What that indicates is that Trump learned nothing from Tuesday's election, and he's doubling down on his unconstitutional agenda.
Trump is a lame duck. Because he doesn't give a shit how much damage he does to the GOP heading toward 2028, he's going to go balls to the wall with every ugly unconstitutional things he wants to do.
Miller has been huddled with a team of lawyers for weeks (in preparation for the blue wave), planning how to manipulate the system in a way that allows Trump to pursue his unconstitutional agenda without congressional approval and so rapidly that the federal courts will be behind the curve. Knowing Miller, he may even tell Trump to disregard anything the courts say.
When the Constitution speaks of "high crimes" against the We The People, this is it.
A key tipoff that a person is a racist and a bigot is when they say, "You can call me a racist or a bigot if you want..."
They apparently missed the memo that's basically an admission of being a fucking idiot.
I hear people saying El-Sayed should go back where he came from.
So, he should go back to Rochester Hills, Michigan?
While I vehemently disagree with El-Sayed's politics, I find it fascinating that most of those who condemn him don't have 1/100th the intellect or education he does.
Hell, I bet they don't know anything about him, except that he's Muslim and a "lib".
I encourage people to go to Wikipedia and read about his life.
The president of the United States saying he is in favor of election fraud. Can't imagine why there was a blue tsunami Tuesday.
The ballot count in the Nye County Sheriff's wasn't even close. Dan Pineau received 10,700 votes, while incumbent Joe McGill received 6,700.
As many of you know, I ran for Sheriff in 2018. I didn't make it out of the primaries. Why? I suppose different people might attribute it to various factors, but I'll share my perspective.
1. I'm covered in very colorful tattoos, including on my neck and hands. I also have a shaved head. In a county overwhelmingly populated with elderly Trumpanzees, that immediately drove a lot of folks away without them knowing what I stand for. (I've had people literally laugh in my face for thinking that what I stand for would be more important to the voters than my appearance.)
2. I had been speaking out against the fraud of the income tax for 25 years (at that time). The elderly Trumpanzees believe the income tax applies to everyone and everyone has to pay it, so I was viewed as "that kook who doesn't pay income tax".
3. My work did not merit a lot of free time to campaign.
4. I didn't have a lot of money I wanted to prioritize for campaigning. (I self-funded, so I wouldn't owe anyone.)
5. I chose the wrong year; 9 candidates in the primary.
6. The incumbent was a part of Nye County's "Mormon mafia". Though she was corrupt AF, she automatically got virtually all the Mormon votes, of which there are a lot here.
7. As a corrupt incumbent, she received large campaign contributions from the big money players in the county who benefit from having corrupt public officials in their pocket.
8. I don't hold back to make people comfortable. If my factual answer rubs a person the wrong way, I'm still going to provide the factual answer. Voters hate that. They want to hear how right they are, not what the facts are.
The good news is that I'm confident Dan will lead NCSO in a very similar manner to how I would have, with integrity, professionalism, and accountability.
The ballot count in the Nye County Sheriff's race wasn't even close. Dan Pineau received 10,700 votes, while incumbent Joe McGill received 6,700.
Now that the American people have spoken in terms of rejecting Trump's obscene, unconstitutional conduct and its consequences, his dick-sucker's new fallback position is "They all do it."
I'm sure I'm saying what everyone already knows, but Tuesday's outcome was a referendum on Trump's actions as the head of the Executive Branch.
The principal objection I have always had about Trump is that he hates the US Constitution. His entire strategy (especially in this second term) has been to devise smarmy ways of "getting around the Constitution" so he can do whatever he wants.
However malignant the federal government may be, it would be exponentially worse without the boundaries imposed by the Constitution and enforced by the courts. Trump wanted to eviscerate those safeguards, so fuck him.
I just read a post in which a gentleman said he and his wife have spent years building a farming operation on their land in Virginia, and it is where they had intended to spend the rest of their lives. (They are in their 60s.)
Now, they are considering moving because yesterday Virginians voted to enshrine the right to an abortion in the Virginia Constitution.
In other words, they are considering abandoning all they have built because their fellow Virginians made a choice with which the poster and his wife disagree.
Well, OK. But it seems more rational to simply say, "If you don't agree with having an abortion, don't get one."
Now that the Dems control both houses, I hear a lot about impeaching Hegseth.
I have no objection to that. He's a buffoon who should never have been confirmed.
That said, the guy who really needs to be impeached is Todd Blanche, who, while holding the office of US Attorney General, works diligently every day to keep the Epstein File concealed from the American people, in violation of federal law.
Of course, it goes without saying that the guy who should really be impeached is Trump, who has given Hegseth and Blanche their marching orders to break the law and violate the rights of the American people.
