Sleepy Piggy's Retribution Campaign Stumbles Again

The Justice Department on Thursday failed to secure an indictment against New York Attorney General Letitia James, a person familiar with the matter told NBC News.

The presentation to the grand jury came less than two weeks after the original criminal case against her was dismissed.

A grand jury voting "no bill" when a prosecutor is pushing for an indictment is rather rare, as the standard of proof for an dictment is pretty low, roughly "we think he done it." That they couldn't persuade a grand jury to indict is pretty damming.

But Don Snoreleone and Bribable Barbie will have some amoral toady at the Departmant of Legalish Hackery try again.

Illegal Orders Datapoint

Nothing really says "we're giving illegal orders" like firing the guy who questions the legality of the orders.

The orders to bomb defenseless and irrelevant boats (if they were carrying cocaine, it was going to Europe, so there was no legitimate threat to American interests). Rather than justify their orders, Kegdeath fired the guy who was willing to call him out on his murder spree.

That should indicate to a rational observer that Whiskey Pete knew he was going to be murdering people.

And then there is this:

Murder or War Crime. It's One or the Other

The Pentagon knew there were survivors after a September attack on an alleged drug boat in the Caribbean Sea and the U.S. military still carried out a follow-up strike, according to two people familiar with the matter.

And there you have it: A extremely clear violation of the DoD's own Law of War.

So are we a nation that condnes war crimes or a nation that prosecutes them?

And if the latter, then everyone in the chain of command, from the person who pulled the trigger up to Whiskey Pete is well advised to hire a criminal defense lawyer.

More Signs Trump is Aligning With Putin

He and Whiskey Pete have cut off communications with the German military, one of our closest allies since the mid-1950s.

America under Trump is an unreliable partner to countries that were once our friends and allies. Which is crazy. GErmany is a rich country. Russia is bordering on being a 3rd world shithole, a country that is an autocratic kleptocracy.

The only possible reason for that is it's in Trump's interest to be buddies with that murderous Russian thief.

Orange Piggy's Racism Was on Full Display

Watch for yourself:

He's a racist right down to the marrow of his bones. He might as well have been wearing a set of Klan robes when he went on his rant.

The man is a bigot and he is neither subtle about it nor ashamed of it.

And that stain drips onto those who support him.

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.

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

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.

Happy Thanksgiving

On a number of radio stations back in the day, playing the entire song was a Thanksgiving tradition. Some of them were commercial stations-- almost nineteen minutes of no commercials. And some of them played it twice, at noon and 3 PM.

The judge was really blind, he had a Seeing-Eye dog. He played himself in the movie (as did Officer Obie).

I hope that if you're in America, you and yours have a good Thanksgiving. Try not to punch out your racist uncle or your commie nephew.

And please, enjoy the day without resorting to rampant consumerism.

Or burning down your hostess's house.

And you can maintain peace at the table by dividing up the attendees.

(Yes, the above is almost a complete repeat from earlier years. So sue me.)

And a bonus meme or two, plus a classic clip:

Right-Wing Terrorism

The unofficial brownshirts of the Right are trying to work their intimidation campaign on Indiana Republican legislators.

I spoke with a Republican member of Indiana’s legislature who opposes President Donald Trump’s push for the state to redraw its congressional map to gain two GOP seats and help the party hold its House majority in next year’s midterm elections. Trump, with support from Indiana’s Republican governor, Mike Braun, has vowed to back primary challengers against members of the GOP who are, for now, blocking the redistricting plan. The lawmaker I spoke with asked that I not publish his name. He isn’t worried about Trump’s political wrath; he doesn’t plan to run for reelection. His fear of speaking out is much more personal: “I’d rather my house not get firebombed,” he told me by phone.

Such a worry is not as far-fetched as it might sound—not in an America that has seen an eruption of political violence over the past few years, and not in Indiana over the past few weeks. Republicans in the state have faced a wave of “swatting” incidents, in which a false call to emergency services draws a police response, for not endorsing the redistricting plan. (Braun said he and his family have also received threats.)

Indiana lawmakers have reported other apparent attempts at intimidation, including at least one bomb threat, as well as subtler forms of harassment. Not all of them have been made public. Earlier this month, the Republican I interviewed was returning home from an evening walk and saw a Domino’s Pizza car parked out front. The delivery was under his name, with his home address, but he had not ordered it. The phone number that was given to the delivery driver was not his. The confirmation that no one in his family ordered it came when he asked the driver what was on the pizza: sausage and pepperoni. “We don’t eat meat,” he told me with a laugh, “so none of us ordered that pizza.” When the lawmaker later called the number affiliated with the order, it went to the state police in Indianapolis. Hoax pizza deliveries have been a favored tactic of MAGA supporters who have tried to enforce loyalty to Trump and his agenda. Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia reported a similar incident before she abruptly announced her resignation from Congress. “The whole idea is, We know who you are. We know where you live,” the Indiana lawmaker said. “They’re trying to intimidate us.”

That's the thuggish Right at work, a movement that has barely graduated from bombing churches and burning crosses on people's front lawns. And it does work, witness the fact that Trump wasn't convicted at his second impeachment because the GOP senators were too cowardly to so vote.

Dear Mike: Just Fucking Quit

Even in a softball interview, Mike Johnson can't help but go all "woe is me" about being the Speaker/Puppet of the House.

And seriously? Stephen Miller is so white that all he eats is mayonnaise?? I thought that was satire, but as we've been finding out, the line between satire and the Orange Piggy Administration is almost invisible.

DC Shooting

I don’t know what the outcome of the DC shooting investigation will be.

But I’m confident that the Trump Administration will respond with the maximum possible levels of racism, bigotry, xenophobia, and overall hatred.

Because that's who they are, a pack of small-minded nasty bigots, a veritable shitstain on the nation.

Which should not surprise you that one of them would use ICE to resolve a custody dispute.

Steve Witkoff is a Russian Asset-- Prove Me Wrong

He was coaching Russian negotiators how to sell their point of view to Trump.

An American envoy who is caught on tape coaching the other party how to sweet-talk his boss into a deal is an enemy agent who should be escorted out of the negotiations in irons.
