The president who promised "I am your retribution" is getting it, and everyone is paying for it.

Last week, while the Iran attack was already approved, FBI Director Kash Patel fired a dozen counterintelligence staffers because they worked on the classified documents investigation. They were also Iran experts, the squad that tracked Iranian retaliation in America after the Soleimani strike.

Now embassies are burning in Saudi Arabia and Kuwait, seven countries are defending against Iranian attacks, and Trump admitted the strikes killed so many Iranian leaders that "second or third place is dead," leaving nobody to negotiate with. The FBI built a team to protect us from any retaliation in America, and Patel gutted it for a grudge while the war was already decided.

Call your representatives and demand they invoke the War Powers Act. Ask who is protecting the homeland now that the FBI's Iran team is weaker because Kash Patel had a score to settle days before a war the White House had already decided to start.

so, we have ourselves a quick 5 week military operation in and out? They should really just knock it down to a 3 day military operation to get their message out better. Though it would be best if instead trump and every maga just fell over dead and we just up and stopped bombing brown people, especially since were just doing it for a mix of greed, xenophobia, and hate.

Kingdomonsterdeath

One correction you should make is change the header to "Trump Epstein" they were partners after all.

PuzzledCompletely

And we know how much FOTUS likes his name on everything.

#1 just how many fights is mango mussolini trying to start?

#1 Are You Fucking Kidding Me?
George, Seriously. Did you make this up just to prank me?
Well Done! I fell for it! I actually thought this joke was real. You got me George!
Ha Ha Ha!
Wait, What?

bruh don't you know he stopped eleventy-seven wars? he started 3 more, but overall, he's got a losing record!

#4 Is a Win right?

It really is. NYU's hospital capitulated and the AG gave them legal cover.

I'm trying, DOJ, I'm trying, but I have an order from the New York Attorney General. Go talk to her.

Barbie Doll from The Department of Litigation? Not gonna help your cause.

#10 So.. Your child, Rafael is now wants to refer to himself as "Ted"

Daliena06

So naturally we should all be legally obligated to refer to the VP by his birthname, James Donald Bowman, right? No way would these laws be applied inequally after all. /s

inequality is the default state of fascism...

BDSMThroatHugs

I'm in early today. I feel like there is some legal push back but then you just realise the consequences are only ever the judge saying to stop breaking the law at which point they break it and many others only to once again get a stern talking to.

Read today's (#397) - there's good news on the judicial front

Judges towards the US government:

That is so on point it actually hurts before the snicker…. https://media1.giphy.com/media/v1.Y2lkPTY1YjkxZmJlaHU1NXZ3a3p0djJjZmVlYzV3MXF0dnE3eTE5cmZpa2pxa214Z2JvZSZlcD12MV9naWZzX3NlYXJjaCZjdD1n/7IW6ys4NjIMwkN7euU/giphy.mp4

adamlstf9

Hey! You keep breaking the law like that and they might even get around to writing a sternly worded letter in a week or two!

chewmaca2

Or a official reprimand like they gave to musk

Oh no! A reprimand?! Whatever will he do!?

MaybeIllDisappear

#10 it would be awesome if all California school kids changed their name and gender in retaliation. Flooding the database and protecting the trans kids.

Prototypo

That was my thought too. Like all kids say they want to go by Sam or some other non-gendered name just to fuck over the system.

Kotarisu

Can we name them all Bobby Tables to destroy the Dept of Education's databases?

MurderousCoat

I'd like it if Teachers complied with the order. "You son Jason is demanding everyone call him J-Dawg.".

Kitty!

Friggin' orange cats. :D

#6 "Disparages" *WHITE* "Americans." Quotation marks to denote sarcasm aimed at the intended meaning of the words.

My air quotes weren't good enough? You gotta add more? ;)

Once again, I find myself wanting to comment on an entry, then rather ask a question about another or post a wtf gif about another one, and by the end of my read I'm just too depressed to comment anything...

thinkybrainpains

I understand AND the overwhelming chaos is designed to get people to shut down. 1. Self-care is a form of dissent 2. Take action when the shit hits locally 3. Stay informed while also knowing you cannot change all of the mess they are making 4. Reach out to like minded folks when you need support and energizing. you are NOT alone

This is an excellent point. Thanks for posting it. :)

This suits so depressing to read, and I think I'm a pretty good judge of what's depressing.

Why yes auto correct, I said suit, not shit. Thanks.

haIucid

Autocorrect doesn’t give a duck what you meant to say.

jammer909

It's tailored to be depressing. It suits the times. It's an organized reaction to the off-the-cuff BS coming out of the White House. We should take a vest-ed interest in what's happening. But, maybe we should all cut ourselves some slack(s).

Attire puns aside, you may have the username, but you don't got the monopoly. It's hard to stay positive, isn't it...

I think 10 million citizens need to drop everything they are doing and go to DC with their rifles and burn every single government building down, expel all federal employees, detain and hang all politicians and lobbyists, and burn the fucking constitution and bill of rights. Then we can either start over new, or not. Either way, we won't be funding billionaires and endless wars if we destroy DC.

Good puns!

a reminder that iran was in the middle of a drought and protests were over water rations when war was declared #zerowing

meaning these leaders were already in a corner due to climate and their own choices, and now they got bombed even deeper in that corner.

someone remind me of that Klingon proverb about cornered beasts

There is "meQtaHbogh qachDaq Suv qoH neH" (Only a fool fights in a house that continues to burn), if that applies.

you know, never having watched Star Trek i never really thought about Klingon having a written language. Interesting.

Here it is in Klingon script based off Okuda's work in TMP:

very fascinating, thanks for sharing
