The following is almost 15 minutes long, but imo is at least worth a skim. (Check out the lightning in the beginning.)

(Am I on a confirmation bias binge right now!?) 10-1/2 minutes long:

Nice summary. I should admit now, I’m a fan of Jasmine, although I see her now becoming more adept at flashing political cliche’s during her campaign. But the GOP is still ten times more “intentionally naive” about ignoring their King’s openly naked lies and other transgressions.

It will take…[Read more]

I too am hoping that this works out for the freedom of the Iranian people and an end to the Islamist tyranny ruling Iran. I am hoping it happens despite the demented senility of Trump and his administration.

Speaking of terrorism, one of the first things Kash Patel should have been doing before the attack is preparing to surveil…[Read more]

It looks to me like what’s left of Iranian “leadership” is in suicide mode, whether intentionally acting self-destructively or not. IMO the lower echelons seem to be in some kind automatic (aka “brain dead”) response mode, repeatedly shooting themselves in their feet.

They managed to get other countries involved that said outright that they were…[Read more]

So thuggery is part of the training. There must be official, authoritarian playbooks out there, right? About 2 minutes long:

1 minute long:

DHS demanding identity details from social networks of users who criticize ICE, Trump, et al.

Short:

Reg posted a great sample from the latest Pam Bondi hearing, featuring Jeremy Raskin here. My sample features Jasmine Crockett. I only wish she made time to add at the end something like “Pam Bondi will no doubt now be given the opportunity to respond to me, as usual without answering any of my questions, but by changing the subject”.

As I’ve…[Read more]

Short, and funny at the end:

Bannon says ICE will “surround the polls” during the ’26 election.

Adam Kinsinger served as a savvy and (relatively) good-hearted Republican Congressman. He and Liz Cheney had the gumption to be the only GOP to serve on the Jan 6 select committee. Kinzinger was one of ten House GOP to vote for Trump’s second impeachment.

Also taken from Wikipedia: ‘On February 4, 2022, the Republican National Committee called…[Read more]

WHOA! This is something to remember! I hope Trump stays up all night on social media for this gem…

Roberts’ and Popok’s (Legal AF) summary of SCOTUS 2025

My subtitle: “Independent” Judicial Branch capitulates to King T

15-1/2 minutes (plus 1-1/2 minute self-promotion at end)

Trump & Kabal, and Bannon and Project 2025 behind the scenes make headway while pumping out executive orders and any kind of rage and cult enthusiasm they can stir up to produce distracting headlines. I feel dumb not realizing, up until today, that releasing the Epstein files could have also served that purpose. Unless Trump et al knew it would…[Read more]

All insurrectionists (and Christian Nationalists) in the audience, come on down! A president can pardon any and all criminals ahead of time?

16 minutes:

I failed again in my prediction that MAGA would become aware enough of the pain that even they will inevitably feel, e.g. wrt losing health care (and now food support) for low income families. It is happening, but their core love and trust in their father figure/cult leader is largely still there.

As is the hate of libs and any of vestiges of…[Read more]
