I'm sure he has not an inkling of the image it would give of an overbearing military force to descend on the city where an overbearing military force helped spark the U.S. Revolution, but even his most loyal ass-kissers who actually are somewhat aware of U.S. history would probably scream over that one.
Plus, those Irish folk wouldn't put up with the shit.
And neither, probably, would New Yorkers. And Chicago may very well revolt.
One of these days someone/s going to fight back against the New Gestapo, and there will be a real riot for really real.
PAB is doing his best to ensure this happens. The plan, initially, is getting USians comfortable, or at least tolerant, of these illegal military actions. And if not comfortable or tolerant sufficiently cowed.
Then to spark a revolt that will allow him to declare "MARSHALL LAW, THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!!!" That's the end game, cancelling the mid-terms, or at least creating an atmosphere where he can shit all over them by having police crawling in blue cities to dampen turnout and other fuckery.
If they hide their identities, the local authorities are under no obligation to assume that they're actually Federal agents or troops of any description, and they can be stopped and detained until it's established that they have authority to be carrying weapons around Chicago contrary to local gun laws. After all, without identification, who's to say they're not impostors?
"So perhaps if Pete Hegseth does invade Chicago on Friday like the administration says is the plan, his troops will not do law enforcement this time? We shall see."
It's so fucking bad that this shitshow makes you side with the damn Chicago police department. Jesus Christ.
Thinking about the Defense Department and how they are dealing with all this shit… The people in charge at the Pentagon KNOW the rules, and I still believe that a majority of them believe in those rules. So how do they square the circle of patently illegal orders with their decades of following the constitution? I guess it could be selective choice of who to put in charge of specific actions; i.e. choose the proto-fascist general when you want to do fascist things, and everyone else just keeps their heads down and thinks about not losing their pensions.
Which is not an unreasonable concern, given Assmouth’s predilection for punishing anyone who opposes him. But it’s hard to see NOBODY senior in the Pentagon resigning publicly to highlight the unconstitutionality of the orders they are being given. Plenty of senior civilians have done it; sad if they have more courage than our “warriors.”
Being a left wing lunatic who obsessed over TACO’s health over the weekend, all I have to say at this point is that yesterday’s pictures of a vibrant TACO demonstrated a big lump below his left eye and a lessor but still very pronounced lump under his right eye.
Advice needed: I am going to have myself a birthday party at The Dancing Crab, a fun little place around the corner that does excellent boils and fried shrimp. However, I am off sweets so I won't be having any cake. But should I still get a cake for others? They have these really cute cat plates and napkins that go with the cat invitations I got and I really want to have a reason for the plates and napkins. What is a good alternative to a cake? A nice cheese and fruit tray maybe?
Fruit would probably be good. I know the stores around me sell 6- and 4-inch cakes so you could buy one that size if you're worried about having leftovers.
The Rs are running on the Ds doing just that. They trying to scare their base into forgetting about Epstein, and the economy, and the wars he isn't ending, and the big fuck you bill, and ....
God, I'd love seeing that. I don't even care if it doesn't have an ice cube's chance in hell of passing, just make the damn gesture. Get people talking about how they're all a bunch of incompetent crooks and liars.
Mrs Pixelz & I once visited a "Boot Hill" western cemetery. We were expecting something like "Dastardly Dan" and other outlaw types. But what we found were mostly graves of children.
I've been reading this local Baptist treatise and he begins with an entire introduction section on religious persecution in general, starting with the puritans. Then he notes how as soon as those Puritans were set up, they went right on to persecute everyone else, and how one dude said that the only people who should have a say in the land were the indigenous folk, whom he befriended, and who took him in when the Puritans exiled him for heresy.
One line of ancestors came over on the Mayflower II, and immediately LEFT the crazies and moved to the western part of Massachusetts. Connecticut and Rhode Island were basically settled by the splitters.
We should probably stop venerating people who were such irredeemable assholes they persecuted everyone who was not them. And quite a few who were them.
I mean....
It's like instead of founding freedom from religious persecution, as we are told as children, they merely imported religious persecution
"The use of hormonal contraceptives by tens of millions of women could plausibly be having population-level effects on behaviour, including political behavior,” the post stated.

PAB is too big of a PAB to send troops to Boston.
I'm sure he has not an inkling of the image it would give of an overbearing military force to descend on the city where an overbearing military force helped spark the U.S. Revolution, but even his most loyal ass-kissers who actually are somewhat aware of U.S. history would probably scream over that one.

Congress is MIA. SCOTUS is not to be trusted any more. WHAT NOW???

I don't want everyone sitting around eating cake except me!
Careful and clever slicing could probably net you a little sliver, just enough for a bite or two.
Or you could get a fruit tart for your guests, and fresh fruit for you. Then it's almost like you're all having the same thing.
cheesecake? linzertorte?
Nah. Cake. Always cake.
But then everyone gets a piece except for me!
And now we see the *real* problem. lol
It's my party, I'll cry if I want to!
Eat a lot of broccoli and drink a lot of beer!

Politico: Johnson says shutdown ball is in Democrats ‘corner’ [https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2025/09/02/congress/johnson-says-shutdown-ball-is-in-democrats-corner-00540013]
If only Rs ccontrolled the House, Senate, White House and SCOTUS, such a shutdown could be avoided.
Yes, because it's the Democrats responsibility to give their opponents everything they want when they can't get their shit together.
Hey the press, you gonna do your job in this one?
Or no
Yeah, no...
Jeffries does...nothing with the opportunity.
I want every D running for Congress next year to promise impeachment on Day One.
The Rs are running on the Ds doing just that. They trying to scare their base into forgetting about Epstein, and the economy, and the wars he isn't ending, and the big fuck you bill, and ....
Multiple impeachment. Most of the cabinet, in fact. And a promise to debate impeachment on at least 2 SC justices on ethical grounds.
God, I'd love seeing that. I don't even care if it doesn't have an ice cube's chance in hell of passing, just make the damn gesture. Get people talking about how they're all a bunch of incompetent crooks and liars.

Mrs Pixelz & I once visited a "Boot Hill" western cemetery. We were expecting something like "Dastardly Dan" and other outlaw types. But what we found were mostly graves of children.
What a self-fucking country!
Surprised the one year old was named. Way to often in those days the young one was "baby" until near or about age 2, because /they died so damn often.
Wonder if they were papists; need to name the kid to, as the Baptists put it, "baby sprinkle"
I live around the corner from a pioneer cemetery. Almost all of the babbies were named here in rural California.
Congregationalists. You know, Puritans without the purity and with the prosperity.
I've been reading this local Baptist treatise and he begins with an entire introduction section on religious persecution in general, starting with the puritans. Then he notes how as soon as those Puritans were set up, they went right on to persecute everyone else, and how one dude said that the only people who should have a say in the land were the indigenous folk, whom he befriended, and who took him in when the Puritans exiled him for heresy.
Then he went on to found Providence or something.
Interesting shit, considering

Awake in the night and so grateful for the comments I found here. Thank you.
Good humans do the right thing for their furry family members ... even when it is hard and hurts.
Same! This place is the best.
Elon Musk Warns Contraceptive Pills Are Warping Women’s Emotions, Changing Behaviour
"The use of hormonal contraceptives by tens of millions of women could plausibly be having population-level effects on behaviour, including political behavior,” the post stated.
The eccentric tech mogul has highlighted the severe side effects of hormonal contraceptives in the past. Last year, he said that “Hormonal birth control makes you fat, doubles risk of depression & triples risk of suicide.”
Ha! As if he would know.
Has Elon never met a preteen girl? Or a teenage girl? They don’t need birth control pills to go crazy on you.
Wanker with... how many... kids seeks to end hormonal birth control.
His human-replacing robots behind schedule again?
This from the dude who is mainlining ketamine. Fuck off, Elno.
Note how he lists "makes you fat" as the top complaint.
Never mind that it does not double the "risk" of depression or triple the "risk" of suicide
PEE-LON!
With that kind of expertise, he could be the next Secretary of HHS.
Population level effects.....
And now we see the narrative being set to support the push to strike down Griswold v Connecticut.
Remember like 5+ years ago when the MAGA piece of shit GQP tried to be for over the counter BC pills so the cost would go back to individuals rather than to insurance?
Oh yes.
There was that article posted just yesterday about the young lady watching the influencers tell her this same shit.
/it is concentrated
Yep.
Well clearly that means we need more IUDs.
Idiocy, but far too many people won't ask why Elon and others want them to think that.
"Eccentric"
"Is he mad?"
"No, he is too rich. He must be eccentric"
If you're getting your advice on BC from PEE-lon, I hope you...never mind. I'll shut up.
I'd be worried, also too, with the sheer amount of capital investment involved in the AI race.

So any old appointee can override a decision by Congress on dispersing funds? This isn't going to end well.
What is weird is how Biden was NOT allowed to cancel the WALL funding.
Remember?
In certain circumstances (Trump appointee, Trump judges), yes.
For us.
