Party of limited government now zombie walks behind guy who says the only check on his power is his own conscience. Since 2019 he has asserted “the right to do anything I want” under Article 2 of the Constitution. SCOTUS happy to assist.

But don’t worry. He’s not a king and this is still a democracy.

Back to the Met Gala, the new season of whatever, and all the grinding pressures of late capitalism.

Hump day!!

The Strait is open. The war is over. No U.S. bases have been struck. No service members killed or wounded.

Affordability is a hoax. Those schoolgirls probably targeted themselves. Gas prices would have been higher under Kamala.

Nobody is coming for Medicare. The ballroom is paid for by private donations. Pretti and Good were domestic terrorists. International law is not a thing.

Never was.

A Republic of lies. POTUS strongly advises we lie back and try to enjoy it.

Majority of US military sites in Middle East damaged by Iran | CNN

At least 16 American military sites have been damaged in Iranian strikes, making up the majority of US positions in the Middle East, a new CNN investigation can reveal. The damage includes high-value targets, raising questions about America’s footprint in the region. CNN’s Tamara Qiblawi reports.

"I’ve never seen anything like this before.… These are rapid, targeted strikes, with [advanced] technology,” the source said.

"The main targets appeared to be multimillion-dollar aircraft. At the Prince Sultan Air Base in Saudi Arabia, a Boeing E-3 Sentry aircraft, which provides surveillance, command, control, and communications to the U.S. military, was destroyed. That aircraft is worth nearly half a billion dollars, and is currently out of production."

As this stuff comes to light, prepare for the administration to first lash out at the journalists who are collecting and disseminating the facts and then to come for vocal opponents of the war, who will be smeared as defeatists and internal enemies.

To put it more bluntly:

In the U.S., we are on our way to a "stab in the back" myth, not unlike the one that fueled National Socialism in post WWI Germany.

No. Theres still a whole group of right voters who vote in primaries to continue the Trump coup. But there is no longer a majority to keep the trump coup going in the general.

Maybe it's time to build the positive thing that America needs to continue.

A movement for mutual respect, robust wealth taxes, energy independence for everyone, not oil bosses, an end to corruption, honoring the constitution, a new Supreme Court, rights and democracy and hope.

Just opposing is over.
