It’s long overdue. This should have been the response last year when the Pentagon started limiting press access and required journalists to sign a pledge to only publish pre-approved information.

The last extension cord you will ever need.

As an American, I approve this message.

The feds aren’t directly repealing state laws. Though the Trump administration is actively trying to indirectly repeal state laws by getting them struck down in the courts. Just last week the DOJ filed suits against Virginia and California to try to overturn some of their restrictions. The DOJ sued Colorado back in May as well.

So many regulations. Moreso at the state and local level, where they vary wildly from place to place.

Whether the regulations make sense is another issue altogether.

1,595 days into the 3-day special military operation…

And just like that, an antique meme gets new life!

I’m at a loss.

TL;DR: The DNC admits, in soft language, that they have nothing to offer the American electorate aside from “At least we aren’t Trump.” They are toothless and have no counter to anything the Republicans throw at them. They have no plan to revamp the party in any significant way to become relevant again. They admit that Republicans are simply better at politics.

They have plainly admitted the obvious.

CNN has report highlights here for people who don’t want to waste time reading the whole 192-page report:

Still is hot, but he used to be, too.

It’s the worst ski year I’ve seen. My last day out I was dodging twigs and mud some spots. One small resort in my region completely closed for a few days last week due to lack of snow. It feels like early April out there, not early February.

Or use their moment to make a visible protest. 1968 comes to mind.

US Constitution Article 1 Section 9 Clause 8, “Titles of Nobility and Foreign Emoluments”:

No Title of Nobility shall be granted by the United States: And no Person holding any Office of Profit or Trust under them, shall, without the Consent of the Congress, accept of any present, Emolument, Office, or Title, of any kind whatever, from any King, Prince, or foreign State.

It’s literally unconstitutional. In the past, foreign gifts to presidents were typically turned over to the National Archives to avoid breaking the law. If Congress was a functional governing body they would rake him over the coals for this, among the hundred other laws Trump has casually flaunted.

I hope so, but I’m not optimistic. Starting in 2016 the GOP centered their entire platform around Trump. Candidates completed to be the most dedicated Trump supporters. Republicans who weren’t on board either resigned or were largely replaced at the polls with MAGA candidates. They can’t abandon him; it would be a total identity crisis. They are going to ride the Trump train to the bitter end.

In case anyone forgot, Rittenhouse went to a protest with a loaded rifle looking for a fight, shot two three people, walked away untouched, was acquitted, and got speaking gigs on conservative TV shows. You can do whatever you want as long as you’re on the “right” side.

Years ago I went to a big Dropkick Murphys show that was all ages. It was fantastic seeing parents and grandparents the seats, watching their kids party in the pit. Good times were had by all. The world needs more of this.

It would be a (small) step in the right direction if it had any chance of becoming law. It’s a non-starter in the House, and Trump certainly wouldn’t sign it either.

That resolution was kneecapped by the Authorization for Use of Military Force after 9/11. Multiple presidents have treated it as a blank check to execute military actions around the world without congressional approval. Just call the targets “terrorists” (or “narco terrorists” now) and do anything without repercussions.

So this is the view from Mailbox Peak I’ve always heard about.
