Good Thing That Acute Schadenfreude is not Fatal

Joe Ceballos, a longtime Republican and small-town mayor in Kansas, is facing felony voter fraud charges and possible deportation from the presidential administration he voted for.
...
A recent profile of Ceballos, written by Roy Wenzl for The Wichita Eagle, revealed that the 54-year-old did not understand that as a Mexican immigrant, he was not eligible to vote in U.S. elections, which he has been doing since 1991. Ceballos also said he “probably” voted for [Kansas Attorney General Kris] Kobach and President Donald Trump multiple times, because he instinctively chooses the candidates with an “R” next to their name while voting.

"But, but, but I never thought that the face-eating leopards that I voted for would eat my face!!"

MAGA Terrorism

(Oldenburg, IN) – Longtime local State Senator Jean Leising says her house was the target of a pipe bomb threat on Saturday evening.

The Republican from Oldenburg wrote in a social media post that this was the result of Washington, D.C. political pundits who are in favor of Indiana redrawing its Congressional maps mid-cycle.

The threat was investigated by the Oldenburg Town Marshal, Franklin County Sheriff’s Office, and Indiana State Police.

MAGA is a terrorist organization. They are Trump's flying monkeys. And if they could hurt Sen. Leising in a way that only subjected them to federal jurisdiction, they'd do so in a heartbeat, because they know Thier Orange Piggy Overlord would give them a pardon.

Because the two groups that get pardons, now, are MAGA or those who have rich relatives that can make multi-million to dollar "donations" to Piggy.

Murder by Hegseth (Updated)

Hegseth ordered the murder of survivors of a wrecked "drug boat" and those orders were carried out by SOC Adm. Bradley. It was a criminal and murderous act in violation of the law.

Eighty years ago (11/30/45), three German submariners were shot by firing squad for machinegunning the survivors of the SS Peleus. It's highly unlikely that Hegseth or Bradley will be staring down the muzzles of a squad of riflemen. But the precedent exists, and the law, both international and American, are clear:

It was murder most foul.

ETA: An excerpt from the DoD Law of War:

Hegseth's and Bradley's orders were clearly illegal.

Twin-Otter at Saba:

1,300' is a short runway, but at least the approaches are clear.

Massive Trumpist Hypocrite

Nancy Mace, who is taking credit for things that happened as a result of a law which she voted against.

That was a result of the 2021 infrastructure bill, which she voted against. She is lucky that the Democrats don't operate like Trump, or that grant would have never happened.

Macy is a horrible excuse for a human being, let alone a congresscritter.

Caturday

A store cat.

Because We, As a Country, Have No Guts

Bolsonaro began serving a prison sentence for trying to overturn the results of a presidential election by sending his supporters to storm the capitol.

But we didn't have the guts to do the same.

Trump Celebrates Thanksgiving With His Usual Racist Screed

He was in fine form, spinning his favorite racist fiction, and blaming immigrants for everything.

Maybe we should have stopped poor women from Scotland from immigrating a century ago, or Bavarian draft dodgers 120 years ago. But those were white folk (and his ancestors) and that passes muster for those racist pricks.

Orange Piggy Pivots on a Pinhead, DC Shooting Ed. (plus)

First, they were foaming at the mouth about immigrants when the news came out that the shooter was an Afghan immigrant.

Then, when it came out that the shooter had been vetted and granted asylum by the Trump Administration..

If that's the current official line, Pee-Wee German is going to be sitting in the dark in his office, drinking straight bourbon, eating mayo with a spoon straight from the jar and moaning at the loss of yet another opportunity to ramp up his promotion o racism and xenophobia.

And this:

Because It's Friday

Some night steam.
