America: ...it's ok, just push it in another inch! we can take it!
(Hopefully) TACO
He's been making this threat for months. I do have to wonder at the number of high ranking military officials getting sacked, as it suggests he's issuing orders that they are either unwilling or unable to implement.
When the dust settles, in another year or thirty, there's going to be so many tell-all books about what the hell was going on behind the scenes. Would not be surprised if Hegseth thought he could start flinging nukes at Tehran without any kind of check on the order.
either unwilling or unable to implement
That's the problem his attorneys general face. He asks them to do the impossible and they have to say no and get fired, or they say yes then fail to do the impossible and get fired.
It doesn't help that a lot of the attorneys who haven't already quit are hacks and con-artists. Jean Perino sucks at her job. Pam Bondi sucks at her job. These are not the heavy hitters that the Bush Family or the Reagan Administration was able to field during prior conservative administrations.
One of the consequences of the stacked deck of Circuit Court Federalist Judges has been a huge drop off in the quality of conservative attorneys. Why do I need to be good at my job when I can simply show up, fart loudly, and get handed a rubber-stamp by my friends on the bench? But then you hit the Appellate Courts, where the deck isn't as heavily tilted, and judges aren't as receptive to the amateur hour bullshit Trump's team rolls out.
Even Anne Coulter and Brett Kavanaugh were, at the end of the day, decent professionals at their jobs. Awful scum sucking humans, but capable enough to string a few well-researched words together to sway a jury pool. Trump's DAs are all just influencers doing TikTok dances for an audience that isn't in the court room.
There's a perverse sort of hope in that idea of fascist brain drain. Maybe it's like dysentery, if you shit long enough and don't die, eventually you get better? I don't know, but the thought of it makes me smile.
It waxes and wanes. I don't think the current environment drains out the fascism nearly so much as the Good Times Make Smug Men. These fucks will still be here when the tide turns. There's no world where fascists just stop existing after an election cycle or even a string of social and political defeats.
But we're well past the Cold War era of military psychos and reactionary intellectuals trying to peal the median American off New Deal economic policies and Civil Rights movements. The folks running the show now are the scions of generation of fascists that already won. So they're focuses far more on jerking one another off (in the case of Epstein and his peers, literally) than actually confronting opposition political movements.
Doesn't help that modern liberals have also all gone lazy and fat on the post-Cold War boom. We're definitely on the back end of this round of Empire Building.
You're not wrong!
When the dust settles
That's some ominous phrasing.
When we can see the blue sky again...
I mean, technically if he has Trump order it, he can do it without checks on the order.
Where the fuck is Jaime Lannister when you need him
JD Lannister? I'll let myself out...
Please wait until you're on a plane
the sister fucker? He's all over the white house.
you're thinking the child fucker. Different person.
I'm sure a sister can be lump sumed in here.
Jaime didn't do shit. He should've killed Cerce in the last season but the writers sucked and went with whatever that abomination was.
Oh my god that would be awesome. The kingslayer also killing a queen. I will never stop being salty.
I'm talking about the backstory
He could kill millions as a direct result of his epic stupidity.
Murder
And be caught laughing about it on video. Might lose him a couple thousand supporters at most
these people will kill us all if we let them
and we will let them.
The fact that he won't be impeached will O ly make it harder to do later on when he will keep pushing the line
They might even impeach him but even if so the fucks won't remove him or charge him with a crime. The 25th amendment and impeachment process may as well not even exist. If they were ever appropriate they have been these past few months
Who has some of that iodine isotope that fills your thyroid? Might want to pick some of that up.
Epic fury?
It's pronounced Epstein's Fury.
