That Snarky Autistic Chick

I was NeverTrump long before being so was cool. ExGOP. Snarkier than your average BlueSkyer.
Since when does a POTUS have the power to do any of this?
Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social · 14h agoTrump cut down cherry trees for which Washington DC is famous for one of his tacky golf courses. He’s planning to sell some of Yosemite Park to a private developer. He’s destroyed the East Wing. He’s threatened to demolish the Kennedy Center. That vulgar slob has no respect for beauty.
I’m telling you - the default position of this administration is fear. Fear of questions, fear of transparency, fear of being found out, and fear of the American people.

Extraordinary, powerful and heart-wrenching. Active duty Marine Colonel Zach Schmidt, speaking in his personal capacity, about Khalil, an Afghan national whose family helped U.S. forces in Afghanistan. Khalil was deported by the U.S. on Friday to a conflict zone.
So the USA is stealing Venezuelan oil and entrenching a new dictator in power to oppress the Venezuelan people. There needs to be a reckoning for all this.
WaPo actually does some reporting(!), calls the oil deal “a potentially costly and legally precarious proposal” and notes that the key Venezuelan partner is under investigation for money, laundering, and embezzlement. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202...
Trump says he has secured a vast U.S. stake in Venezuelan oil industry
The plan involves the United States taking more direct control over Venezuelan reserves as crime and steep logistical challenges discourage private investors.

Dan Froomkin/Press Watch/Heads Up News@froomkin.bsky.social · yesterdayNot one word here about how it’s a deal at gunpoint, how kidnapping Maduro was illegal, how this is inevitably corrupt, not one word from a critic, or an environmentalist.

The Trump administration is urging the National Park Service to hand over a quarter-mile stretch of Yosemite National Park to a Nevada-based real estate company called Kingsbarn Realty Capital.
Michael McKeon@grinch67.bsky.social · yesterdayTrump Quietly Working to Give Part of Yosemite to Private Developer. You can’t put a price on Yosemite, but you can apparently put a driveway through it.
Remember when Trump kidnapped Maduro and Rick Scott and a bunch of south FL Republicans told Venezuelan-Americans this was all about liberating the country so free & fair elections could be held to oust the remainder of the Maduro regime, and I said it was all about stealing oil.
"For generations, Americans in uniform have carried Stars and Stripes wherever they were deployed. They trusted it because the journalists who produced it were free and willing to tell them things the Pentagon would rather they not hear." Keep it that way.

If ‘Stars and Stripes’ can’t report bad news, troops will look elsewhere.

Good for Milo that he's adding his small contribution to make the Trump regime's deportation goals a reality.
The Milo stuff is the perfect picture of fascism. You think you're protected because you go as big as you can on racism, you spend years harassing the movement's perceived enemies, you even disavow your own sexuality. They'll still throw you in a cage over the tiniest disagreement already forgotten.
Good. He can bloviate to a captive audience of his stooges.

More Canadian companies need to do this. It’s a big planet to draw from. If the neighbours are toxic better to move on.

I want to thank the service member who shared their story about what it's like to serve right now. It's not easy to be honest about burnout and open-ended orders when you're still in uniform. Every service member has a constitutional right to speak up. That's not unpatriotic or inappropriate.

And this is why you don’t assign the National Guard to be on an anti-crime task force or in any capacity that pits them against citizens. Our troops are supposed to defend us, not kill us. I thought we learned this lesson at Kent State in Ohio, 1970.

The Associated Press@apnews.com · 2d agoTennessee National Guard members assigned to a federal anti-crime task force in Memphis fatally shot an armed 20-year-old man in the back, according to an autopsy report obtained Thursday by The Associated Press, contradicting police accounts that said the man was facing the troops when they fired.
It’s a point that has been made before: These people are here without authorization only because the administration revoked it. It is as if Trump were somehow to strip citizenship from every Democrat.
Bradley P. Moss@bradmossesq.bsky.social · 2d agoThese people had protected status. They lived here legally. They worked, they paid taxes. They made lives. Raised families. Now we’ve dehumanized them. Ripped away that protection and told them to get out. This is a stain on the soul of this Nation.
Mitch McConnell must be declared dead, or show proof of cognitive life ability to perform, assessed by an actual independent medical team of actual doctors with actual training in all fields of actual medicine, as defined by the AMA. Is that too much to ask?
