I know, right?!? If the report cleared Gtz completely they would have shared it with great enthusiasm. In this case the silence is indeed deafening.

I had seen yesterday that someone was able to gain access to the report; it’s time to post it, post haste.

25%, literally what they say they want.

What a weirdo!!

Leak it, share it, post it for wide availability.

FOIA!!

If so then the Dems need to learn some basic negotiation skills. But I don’t agree. The two parties are supposed to represent all of the US, and what they should be negotiating for is those policies that are in the best interest of all US citizens. I hope you’ll agree that is not the case.

Donnie boy is always testing the waters, testing the limits. It’s an extreme version of what the GOPers have been doing for years. Ask for a 150% of what’s reasonable, and then act all butt hurt when they only get 125%. We’ve seen this game before. There’s nothing new coming out of the “grand” Old party. smh.

There’s a book on OCD called The Boy Who Couldn’t Stop Washing. I have to wash my hands a lot for work, but that ok, I’m not OCD, I have a rationale! :-D

OCD is no joke, and if you need that book, here’s a link: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/325571/the-boy-who-couldnt-stop-washing-by-judith-l-rapoport/

It was a poster I saw up in the PacNW years ago. Nice artwork, and the phrase “Spawn or Die!!” which I thought was hilarious, because it truly is spawn and die. I tried to find it on the interwebs but was unsuccessful.

Putin could end this at any moment, by withdrawing.

That’s wonderful news! Yay!! Spawn or Die!!

I love how he throws up the excuse, “…that is not the way we do things in the House,…” as tho’ propriety or social or even governmental norms mean anything whatsoever to him or the rest of the GOP.

And then this reversal after nearly 24 hours go by, "Johnson’s comments also mark a reversal after he said on Thursday, “the speaker is not involved with what happens in ethics. Lots of important reasons for that.”Johnson’s comments also mark a reversal after he said on Thursday, “the speaker is not involved with what happens in ethics. Lots of important reasons for that.”

Nope.

Deus Vult https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Deus_vult

Adoption by right-wing groups as slogan

Deus vult has been adopted as a slogan by a variety of Christian right and Christian nationalist groups,[7][25] as well as alt-right and white supremacist groups.[6][8] This usage was disseminated widely online,[8] through hashtags and internet memes.[6] Crusader memes (such as an image of a Knight Templar accompanied by the caption “I’ll see your jihad and raise you one crusade”) are popular on far-right internet pages.[26] It is one of several pieces of Crusader imagery used by groups characterized in The Washington Post as far-right Christian nationalists and dominionists.[25] One perspective is that racist movements co-opt the slogans and iconography of the European medieval period, to evoke a fantasy of a “pure” white European heritage, a nostalgic view that is historically inaccurate, and has been denounced by medievalist scholars[who?] as a gross distortion of history.[6][8][dubious – discuss]

The “Deus vult” slogan has been used by perpetrators of right-wing terrorism; it was repeatedly used by the perpetrator of the 2017 Quebec City mosque shooting[27] and was one of the tattoos on the body of the perpetrator of the 2023 Allen, Texas outlet mall shooting.[28] Deus Vult was among the slogans and symbols used during the violent far-right riot in Charlottesville, Virginia in 2017.[29]

The slogan, as well as other Knights Templar imagery, has also been associated with far-right subgroups in the U.S. that merge Christian nationalism with gun culture; a Florida gun manufacturer engraved the slogan on its “Crusader” model of AR-15-style rifle.[30] The motto is also used by Christian nationalist groups in Europe; the phrase was portrayed on large banners carried by unspecified groups characterized by The Guardian as far-right marchers in 2017 in Warsaw, Poland.[25][31][32] American television host Pete Hegseth, who is set to be appointed by President-elect Donald Trump as Secretary of Defense, has a “Deus Vult” tattoo on his right arm.[33]

“both sides the same”? Is that really your level of intellectual rigor? smh

Naps, the best daytime cure for woke.

Unimaginable is entirely the wrong word here. It’s prosaic, it’s old, tired, worn out corruption. Completely imaginable by the idiots who are being allowed to do it. There is nothing new, creative, original at all about this. smh

SMH! Damn, it’s so hard to convince people to get on the fedi, and crap like this makes it harder. I got the blsky account to appease a friend. k, back to work.

I just signed up for bluski, and it offered the option of running it from my own server. So decentralization appears to be possible. The more people use this option, the more decent it will be.
