  I'm wondering why they haven't gone after TP-Link yet. Maybe they're aware of the chaos it would cause, since they make pretty much ALL of the decent cheap routers out there today. I've been delaying uprading my mesh system (currently a somewhat older TP-Link setup) because it would be just my luck for the feds to step in and brick a brand-new rig.

  Or they could wait for the right moment to give him a Sadat Sendoff. Since he invariably surrounds himself with sycophants and cronies, there need be no fear of unwanted collateral damage.

  Self-incrimination appears to be a characteristic of the Trump administration, along with incompetence, bigotry and arrogance. Are you folks that voted for Florida Man feeling buyer's remorse yet?

  It remains deeply ironic that a man who has hidden behind due process for his entire (criminal) life sees fit to deny it to others based solely on racism.

• On the post: National Guard Troops Aren’t Happy They’re Just Trump’s Toy Soldiers

  Go for it, Donny Boy! Keep pissing off the armed people that comprise our military to bolster your ego (and wealth). You can be the next ANWAR SADAT!

• On the post: The RFK Jr. Congressional Hearing Was An Unmitigated Disaster

  A symptom of a symptom of a symptom. The root problem is the corrupt, binary structure the two political parties have erected to compromise our democracy. Since we are only permitted two choices, the lesser of two evils becomes the best possible outcome. Until we can find a way to make these "public servants" act the part, we are DOOMED. A terrific start to reining them in would be to hold the current administration accountable for all of their nonsense, but that's unlikely to happen. I suggest that we start having the impeachment BEFORE the election, since neither party seems terribly interested in vetting their own candidates.

  It would appear that our little "experiment in democracy" only had a lifespan of about 250 years. Okay, folks, break's over. Back on your heads...

  How long before Hegseth announces that California has WMD?

  We have now officially entered the era of jury nullification. The fascists may find ways to take away our votes, but the people will STILL have a voice.

  Here's an idea of them- have a LOTTERY to see who gets access to the precious jab. Proceeds can be put toward some more tax breaks for the wealthy.

  Bread and Circuses

  The Romans had it better. Our bread is "Wonder" and our circuses are packed with COMMERCIALS. We deserve better from our Emperor.

• On the post: RFK Jr. Vowed To Find The Environmental Causes Of Autism. Then He Shut Down Research Trying To Do Just That.

  

  Nimrod ( profile ), 28 Aug, 2025 @ 02:35am

  "By September", he said? Very well. When he fails in THREE DAYS it will be time for him to RESIGN, then.

• On the post: John Bolton And Bitter Irony Of False Equivalence

  

  Nimrod ( profile ), 27 Aug, 2025 @ 01:54pm

  All Bolton has to do is shave off that awful mustache, and nobody will recognize him. You can't arrest someone you can't recognize (unless you're the ICEtapo, that is).

• On the post: Federal Prosecutors: Thrown Sandwiches Are A Felony But Openly Carrying Rifles Isn’t A Problem

  

  Nimrod ( profile ), 27 Aug, 2025 @ 01:52pm

  That must have been one KILLER sandwich, because now he's in a real pickle. Let's hope his attorney can cut the mustard.

• On the post: Mississippi’s Broken Age Verification Law Forces Bluesky To Block All State Users

  

  Nimrod ( profile ), 26 Aug, 2025 @ 02:42pm

  All this verification stuff is nonsense because all you need to get around it is a VPN, and they'll never outlaw them because even Republican politicians like their porn, and they like their anonymity even more. Just more diversionary tactics while they quietly steal everything that isn't nailed down, and even some things that ARE.

• On the post: Justice Jackson Correctly Defines The John Roberts Supreme Court As The Calvinball Court

  

  Nimrod ( profile ), 23 Aug, 2025 @ 02:59am

  I've been referring to him as "The Dread Pirate Roberts" for some time now, and suggest that others do the same. A lot of what he does is INCONCEIVABLE!

• On the post: Fired Antitrust Official Reveals How Trump’s Friends Turned Justice Into A Pay-To-Play Business

  

  Nimrod ( profile ), 21 Aug, 2025 @ 02:03am

  Everything's transactional to Trump, which is fine for him. We can make it fine for US by letting him buy his way out of prison when his term in office is over. The cost for him (and his family) to avoid long prison sentences? ALL of their ill-gotten lucre. Then they can GO TO WORK like the rest of us. THAT would Make America Great Again. Wouldn't you LOVE a news story about Don Junior PICKING LETTUCE? I sure as Hell would.

• On the post: DOGE’s “Efficiency” Theater: Wasted $21.7 Billion While Destroying Life-Saving Programs Based On Conspiracy Theories

  

  Nimrod ( profile ), 09 Aug, 2025 @ 05:26am

  Who's going to pay?

  WE will, of course, and by "we" I mean all living things on the planet. In fact, we already ARE, and it's only going to get worse, and in every possible way. This is Trump's legacy, and his name should very much be a swear word when and if it is uttered at all by future generations. I submit that we need to change the meaning of the word to reflect this fact. NO MORE should " to trump" mean to "beat by saying of doing something better", because that CLEARLY isn't what he does. From today on, the verb "to trump" should mean to destroy utterly by way of greed, stupidity and mean-spirited vindictiveness.

  Vaccines

  Trump was responsible for ONE good thing in his entire time in office and he's done everything in his power to shit on it ever since.

  This is the sort of thing you get when you elect a career criminal from a family of career criminals to the highest office in the land. Trump is the Mafia President, and the inmates now run the asylum.
