CARTOON OF THE DAY…

Benjamin Franklin famously said (supposedly) “you have a republic if you can keep it.“ He also said, that only a virtuous people can maintain a democracy. As people become more vicious and corrupt they have more need of masters.

Ai

Ai anyone

On July 4, the president reminded his audience of just how much he has changed his country, argues @davidfrum.bsky.social: "Trump’s speech demanded credit for a history that Trump regards as a sucker’s mistake."

For all you evangelicals out there who thought you could use this man to get POWER, you have helped create a world where God will be mocked. Enjoy.

I think jd Vance didn’t study for his Get Catholic exam

He had help from the Soviet Union in destroying America.

Trying to watch the first episode of “the Madison”. Obviously Taylor Sheriden knows nothing about New York. When we punch nepo babies in the face everybody expresses concern.

Bari Weiss, in six months turned a historic and respected news org into a punchline from which viewers are running like rats fleeing a ship . ..Weiss is a poisonous figure ... It’s fun to see her fail. open.substack.com/pub/noahberl...

Listening supinely to this monster is endorsement. All the democrats can do is sit at home and write lengthy beggary for money. No spine.

Trump just said Republicans should “take over the voting and nationalize it.” That’s authoritarianism, full stop. The silence from elected Republicans is cowardice—and it’s dangerous heading into November. open.substack.com/pub/adamkinz...

BREAKING: The President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, just delivered the strongest rebuke of Donald Trump we’ve seen yet regarding Greenland. Wow.

The Supreme Court, Presidency, Senate and two party system are all quite anti-democratic institutions as presently constructed. Our institutions are not only incapable of preventing tyranny—they’re currently enabling it. When democracy returns, we need to reform our political system.

The monster is loose

People on tv are not pointing out enough that Congress is getting paid during the shutdown.

The Totencopf symbol is not strictly a Nazi symbol. It was first used in the 18 century by the Prussian troops of Frederick, the Great. And PIRATES used it even before. So I think Graham Platner must be a pirate.

Q: why didn’t Donald Trump put his hand on the Bible when he swore his oath.

Went to No Kings in nyc today. It was great. Now let’s have boycotts of the tech schmucks and a general strike or two.

Horst Vessal. Reichstag fire?

Jimmy Kimmel is back on the air because millions canceled their Disney subscriptions. Who really has the power? The people. Think General Strike.

@gavinnewsom.bsky.social Keep it up. I’m for you if you do.

i hope you find something you love in life as much as Trump loves Putin (Getty)

"Murkowski promised to make sure that 'Alaskans and *people around the country* are not impacted in a negative way' (emphasis ours). That didn’t last." www.thebulwark.com/p/senate-gop...

Republicans who pledged not to cut Medicaid, such as Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), happily explained it away by redefining the word “cut.” In an interview, Lawler claimed the bill will actually “protect critical services like Medicaid.”

@profgalloway.com Yes. And what about Trump? About whose health we know next to nothing.

2) Man’s laws not God’s and if you cut them down, and you’re just a man to do it, do you really think you could stand upright in the winds that would blow then? Yes, I’d give the devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake” — Sir Thomas Moore in Robert Bolt’s play “A Man for All Seasons”

1) “Oh, and when the last law was down, and the devil turned around on you, where would you hide, Roper, the laws all being flat? This country is planted thick with laws from coast to coast.
