Ok, actually just high AF right now. Impeachment, conviction and now, removal. The convicted party will probably object. Um, optimistically, the people who swear to uphold the Constitution insist that the former President leave the premises. The VP is sworn in. There is a Democratic majority in Congress that does not have the power to overturn a veto.
Here’s my question. What’s next?

The farm was dangerous?
Did someone get high and have a moment of self-reflection?

@JuliusGoat posts a column exposing the ongoing oppression of conservatives.
"Immigrants oppress conservatives by existing, and this oppression takes the form of conservatives having to be aware that they exist ... this is a very oppressive thing for conservatives to endure, and if you don't believe me, go ask them."
He also offers a future path with hope for more oppression like that.

I read an interesting story from Dropsite that I'm not going to link because it's on Substack. But it was a deeper dive into the LA Fire Dept budgeting over the last few years.
I'll just say that decisions were made that look pretty stupid today in light of the destruction of entire sections of the city.
But what strikes me is the difference between the discussions of fire dept budgets vs police dept budgets.
We have a priorities problem in the USA.

Me: Wow, my workday was brutal and I'm beat.
Wife: I've been sick all afternoon.
Me: No worries we'll get a pizza. [looks at today's date]
Me: We're not buying pizza today. I'll start dinner. [sigh]

I think it's total bullshit that Souter is being praised as being somehow "left."
Even in the oft-cited Planned Parenthood vs Casey, his decision gutted women's rights to abortion. It upheld Roe in name only. From the wiki: "Souter considered upholding all the restrictions but was uneasy about overturning Roe. After consulting with O'Connor, the three ... developed a joint opinion that *upheld all the restrictions* in Casey except the mandatory notification of a husband "

Super crazy optimistic. The House majority, after negotiations, agrees on a particular set of charges. The minority opposes loudly, but the impeachment bill passes, nonetheless. It moves to a trial in the Senate. Is there a filibuster? Optimistically assuming the new Senate rules eliminate the filibuster, you need 51 votes for a conviction. Again, how many Senate votes will drop off as the flood gates of money open?

Again, so very optimistic and unrealistic. Impeachment is most certainly warranted. Do you charge him with the big questions, like violating the Emoluments Clause of the Constitution? Should you prosecute a particularly corrupt, Article 2, Section 4 act like bribery, that is clear and easily understood? Are there enough votes to account for those that will drop out due to fear, greed or ambition?

I’m feeling dreamily optimistic in the USA this morning. Let’s assume that, in 2026, there are elections. Previously, for many years past, these elections have been subject to rigging and cheating and that’s all baked into the outcomes. So, in this imaginary election, the party that is not currently in the majority becomes the majority, in both House and Senate. What does that party do with the majority?

I think something that is getting lost in all the noise around Joe Biden's statement is the fact that Republicans actually are garbage.

OK, I just read a thread that had roughly 3x more discussion than likes or boosts. It was among folks who are UX designers.
I know nothing about UX design and yet, I enjoyed the entire thread.
Just saying, I really love it here.

If you've been getting paid to spread Russian propaganda while unaware of the content's or the money's origins, then maybe you aren't as smart as you think you are. Maybe shut the fuck up for a minute and do some thinking about how you ended up displaying your gullibility to the world.
Of course, they won't do that.
Because they knew all along. They're just fascists being fascists.

Trump appointed a sleazy criminal as Ambassador to France. It's a straight up insult.
I hope that, at State dinners, France seats him between North Korea and Syria at the end of a long table that gets served last.
They should forget his name all the time. Make him wait for police escorts. Quietly laugh with each other as he passes.
I hope they treat him like the insult he is.
Yes, I am this petty.

Meanwhile, over at The Reframe, @JuliusGoat has solved his funding issues. All he had to do was straighten out some Very Fine Facts. In fact, these are the Very Best Facts, the most factiest facts that were ever facted.

I've already put in 36 hours this week and it's only Wednesday. I need to spread 4 hours over the next 2 days.
Sure, it will be a challenge, but I have years of slacking experience to bring to the project. I can do this.

So, I've been watching the story of the duct-taped banana.
I'm beginning to wonder if all the effort of trying to save civilization from climate change is worth the bother.
We've reached a point where a piece of overripe fruit is considered by some crypto bro to be art on a level of Guernica or The Starry Night.
And we're all so tired already, guillotines just seem like such hard work.
