"​Ambition must be made to counteract ambition. The interest of the man must be connected with the constitutional rights of the place... If men were angels, no government would be necessary. If angels were to govern men, neither external nor internal controls on government would be necessary."

This isn't about anything but the first part. At the polls we should vote for folks that want to restore the executive branch to its co-equal place. Hold the corrupt to account. End the war. And most importantly reinstitute a sense of intelligence and pride in how we govern ourselves.

Well, I'm sure none of these folks vote. Right?

Remember: James Madison to Thomas Jefferson: "The constitution supposes, what the History of all Governments demonstrates, that the Executive is the branch of power most interested in war, and most prone to it. It has accordingly with studied care, vested the question of war in the Legislature."

Checks notes: who is in charge of addressing "food-induced illness"???? The patients are running the asylum....

The folks making the argument to shrink government making the argument that they shouldn't be in charge of anything is a weird recursive loop.

Fun fact: 2026 mid term early voting begins as early as September 4th. Accountability is on the ballot this year.

Good news just sold my one and only gm. Timing was...

What we have learned in trump 2.0 is that a news cycle, (unless it is Epstein) dies in a week. They timed this pretty poorly.

Let me translate: If we lose the mid terms, there is going to be massive prosecutions, investigations, and likely the left will hold us accountable. Let's make it seem like the elections are under attack so we can interfere with them. It's the only possible way to win...

Here's some fun states rights accountability.

They warned me that if I voted for Kamala Harris we’d get a new deal with the Iranian regime worse than the JCPOA. I voted for Kamala, and they were right.

Steven Miller had both fangs in this idiot. This is a declaration of war against a political party. When the impeachments start rolling through in March if next year DHS has to be gutted.

That's a big no shit ossoff.

We are so screwed. Pin this post. The economy is officially going to be hosed for years. Again...

Donald Trump is sending the Justice Department after a woman he raped.

Imagine missing your own son’s wedding so you could go surrender to Iran

If releasing your tax returns and the Epstein files would end your presidency, then your presidency must end. It’s that simple.

Narrator: this was proven false time and again.

Read this. It's perfect. no01.substack.com/p/march-19-2...

I have a spin on this. What if the director of the FBI doesn't know how our laws work?

All of this is fucking senseless. Minnesota did not have an immigration problem. Trump sent his Nazi thugs here because he's racist against Somali people and to own libs like Tim Walz. Now two Minnesotans are dead and Minneapolis is on the verge of going up in flames. None. Of. This. Was. Necessary.

This ass is picking a fight with, (checks notes) yup says right here, America's oldest ally.

WSJ investigation: In the past 6 months ICE agents have fired at vehicles 13 times, leading to: * 8 people shot * 5 of which were U.S. citizens * 2 died * no victims drew a weapon The playbook: Agents box in a vehicle, block attempts to flee, then fire www.wsj.com/us-news/vide...

We literally live in the dumbest timeline.

Senator Kelly is correct. Plus a Public Service Announcement: KEY section of Department of Defense's Law of War Manual is 18.3.2.1. The VERY rule on the "requirement" to refuse illegal orders gives as its paradigmatic example of what is "clearly illegal: "orders to fire upon the shipwrecked."

O'DONNELL: Why did you pardon Changpeng Zhao? TRUMP: Are you ready? I don't know who he is O'DONNELL: His crypto exchange Binance helped facilitate a $2b purchase of World Liberty Financial's stablecoin. And they you pardoned him. TRUMP: Here's the thing -- I know nothing about it

I'm a big no on this behavior.

While we are tearing the Whitehouse down and rolling tanks into our own communities, I just wanted to ask: When do we get Greenland? I haven't forgotten how important that was to these guys. I for one need Greenland to still be a distraction. -KM

I'm old enough to remember last week when this was a thing...

Didn't even hint at it. He just said it. Donald and Pete seem to want a war with America itself.

Remember folks these guys believe their greatest enemy is the enemy within: “authorizing full force, if necessary to handle domestic terrorists” They are placing sitting armies in our cities and loosening the rules of engagement. Clearly spoiling for a fight amongst us.

This one is festering for me: When you take away primary sources of income from rural hospitals, which the administration was warned they were doing, (aka removing Medicare/Medicaid subsidies) the hospitals can't stay open.

Imagine you're a career military general being summoned for a pentagon strategy lecture by a former game show host and a former weekend talk show host.

the first amendment is absolutely what makes our constitution powerful. We have to continue to find ways to disagree. Boldly and like neighbors. The violence isn't reserved for 1 side, it will consume us all.

Outrageous.

To be clear, that's a pretty big show of force picking up a guy who a: said he would come in, and b: is charged with sandwich related crimes. Honestly, it has the opposite effect they think it has. These guys are terrified of us.

On our day of Independence and freedom, remember my friends, democracy has to be fought for.

[Exit King.]

Definition of a military coup: Violent overthrow of a government by its military. We are officially at the point where the US government is overthrowing our state and local governments. This ends only one way my friends.

A hidden 10 point tax on business or consumers, or both. Maga, the party of inflation and higher taxes.

Yup

We need the news media to take a good look at who is shorting. Shorting stocks, crypto, all of it. Inevitably, they knew it was going to tank the market. They aren't trying to mitigate the damage. If you are in a position of insider knowledge and power and are short, that's fraud.

Our Ag sec clearly has only worked with complete idiots if these are the smartest she's worked with. Her version of "think tank" probably is her margarita blender.

This.
