Republicans have had their traitorous asses kicked, and now I want to see all their Orange “initiatives” rolled-back, starting with the Big Ugly BIll but also defunding and/or dissolving ICE (and paying some kind of restitution to the people ICE has murdered, at minimum), terminating the Iran war, restoring ALL DOGE cuts, rolling back defense spending to at least Biden-era levels, abolishing all Trump tariffs, offering our sincere apologies to Canada and the EU and restoring our economic and political relations with them to Biden-era norms. That and much much more, there’s so much shit to fix and Republicans should be made to suffer while those fixes are made. They fucked up the country and should feel the pain of restoring it like the traitors they are.

But Democratic leadership tiptoeing around like Quislings, kissing up to Republicans as if Dems are still afraid of them and don’t want to make them mad because some people, the meanies at the top or fatbody traitor Republican LARPers in Kansas or some backwater might not like the new Dems in power? Too fucking bad, the whole lot of them had it coming and Democratic leadership needs get going doing the fixing and Republicans had better learn to like it. If Democratic leadership can’t get the job done without checking first to make sure that the feeeeeeelings of Republicans and their leaders (which includes Orange Diaper Baby of course) won’t be hurt then they can look forward to a short stay in power.

Well shite. I stood to collect $5000 from the USG if the Rs won. Trump said so. Now what am I supposed to do for beer money and diesel?

members of the family publicly denied knowing the child was pregnant. The victim’s maternal grandmother, Michelle Justus, previously told Tulsa NBC affiliate KJRH, “I just want people to know, we did not know this was happening. None of us.”

Because a pregnant 12yo wouldn’t visually stand out in any way, sure Michelle, sure. I wonder if OK is a ‘mandatory reporting’ state, in which case gramma should go to prison with the rest of them.

You’re right, I missed the “seven consecutive” life sentences part. I hope they’re not served at all concurrently somehow (though ‘consecutive’ would seem to indicate not), just because.

Less?

Walker’s husband, Dustin Joel Walker, already received a life sentence after pleading guilty earlier this year to one count of sexual abuse of a child under 12 and six counts of child neglect.

King sentenced the father to life in prison plus 42 years, ordering him to serve the 42-year sentence before beginning the life term.

forced labour Slavery. Just say it.

maia arson crimew has been doing great work over the years though it’s not clear to me they’re responsible for obtaining the data in this leak.

Earlier this year, Sullivan went to Anthropic for one of their meetings, which included Christians from different denominations.

Pardon me while I go burn my cat at the stake. It knows too much and won’t obey me. A big tech chatbot said that that is the moral thing to do and it will also set an example for Dog.

Libertarians and the Right both don’t want the State mandating car seats for their boyfriends/girlfriends. Birds of a feather.

WA doesn’t have particularly stringent gun-purchase laws in my experience. I’ve bought three handguns over the past three decades and I don’t remember any major obstacles. I think there was an FBI(?) background check and maybe a State Patrol background check (the latter just checks your criminal record for in-state crimes). Those were long ago for me and SP check can be done online now - probably takes a few minutes and costs a few dollars. I’m not sure if there’s any kind of background checks for long guns, I suspect not but I’m sure someone with a gun hobby will chime in.

Details in the document, and the rapid timeline, show that the Trump administration intends to use the program immediately, said Brian Murphy, a government contractor who worked for 25 years with ICE parent agency DHS. It’s rare for the government to only want workers with top secret clearance, he said.

“I’ve only seen it when there is an imminent need to work on something right now,” he told the Prospect. “Trump has two years in office. He can’t wait … they want to get rolling on this immediately.”

The program description is so broad that Murphy said he thinks the goal goes beyond targeting immigrants. “I think it’s darker than that,” because the agency could use the intelligence to attack people with identities and views the Trump regime doesn’t like.

Maybe they’re just trying to open up new revenue streams - ones that have already been shown to be profitable, like peddling nicotine addiction? I’m waiting for the ads for Claude Smokes. And for the ladies we’ll have Gemini Slims. The ads can be shot in the AI datacenters with the actors lighting-up off GPU heatsinks.

When our economy collapses due to the Musk/Trump “management” of it, then Musk/Trump/etc will need to start a hot war to put citizens to work and excuse vast new amounts of spending (financed with borrowing), mostly on the MIC. Just like Hitler did in the late 30s. Who the victim will be, I’ve no idea. The stupid little post-9/11 middle-eastern wars made MIC types richer but I don’t think they greatly affected the US economy otherwise. No, I think we’ll need a big war, against a fairly powerful opponent, to justify all of the “sacrifice” the domestic Poors are going to be asked to engage in. The opponent should be, ideally, a prime target for racial and cultural bigotry - a people that the Poors already think is gross. That’ll boost the enlistment rates among their young, who’ll be all too happy to sign up to murder whoever MAGA says is foul and hateable and responsible for the shit sandwiches that they’ve found on their plates. But will Musk/Trump try to take on a Russia or China or NK, opponents that might let fly with nukes? Wall St. won’t be keen on that I think, and the billionaires own MAGA now, but still there’ll be all those starving, diseased poors … how will we protect billionaire wealth while maximally leveraging the poors’ racism/bigotry and their desire to feel strong and important, to have a stage and to have at least a micro-MAGA-sized personal claim to glory?
