Resisting the loss of democracy from Australia any way I can. Lover of books and the beach.

A very close friend of mine works for a firm that builds casts (or molds? There’s a slight difference idk) and he was telling me that this is a multi-year procurement issue. The missile stockpile is going to be very low for a while

One year from now, I don’t want to hear members of Congress acting shocked about the damage Todd Blanche does as the United States Attorney General. They know exactly what they’re voting for, and they had a chance to stop it. Consider them complicit because that’s what they are

I would assume beating your wife and little girl gets you extra clout in the GOP. They all think women are just property anyway. They all want Gilead, so this is not even remotely surprising or shocking. Mike Johnson is just stating the obvious. The GOP loves wife beaters. It's in their charter.

I think we have reached the point where we can’t trust any enquiry, any criminal investigation. The only thing that will resolve this is full publication of every last piece of information, without redaction however awful the content.

Abusers always stick together… Note he’s not sorry for the women that were harmed. He’s not concerned for the child in the middle of it who suffered an injury. 

This is how communism was propped up for decades. Pretending things were good, creating propaganda all the time. Lying about everything… These guys like to badmouth communism but they’re halfway there. They’d make awesome communists. Trust me, I grew up under it.

If the GOP has made anything clear it is that it does not stand for principles, for family, for morality, for the nation, or for the law. It stands for power. At all costs. It is a completely amoral party. It defends corruption, pedophiles, misogyny, racism, as long as that makes it keep power.

Why are we listening to the Treasury Secretary talk about war negotiations? Is Hegseth going to tell us about interest rates and monetary policy? Not that I trust Hegseth talking about the war, but why should Bessent have any war negotiation credibility?
