Because we need to get rid of this rhetoric:I made some crude signs to take to our local protest tomorrow on Presidents Day, Feb. 17.

On Saturday afternoon, during Presidents Day weekend, the twice-impeached president and convicted felon was, to his credit, honest about it: He believes he’s allowed to break any law he wants.
“He who saves his Country does not violate any Law,” Trump posted online — not just once, but twice. The president felt strongly enough about the sentiment (which several observers pointed out appeared to be based on an apparently fake quote from Napoleon) that he blasted it out on his own Truth Social site as well as his account on Musk’s platform X, formerly known as Twitter.
Musk and his army of dipshits on Twitter keep pointing to Bill Clinton’s federal worker reduction in the 1990s to defend Trump. The difference? Congress passed a law that Clinton signed, he didn’t just get the nearest billionaire to illegally start dismantling the government based on his whims.

Good morning, bloggers!!!!!
I fear that we have seen the imperial presidency has become something far worse.
History will not remember this era well.
Sorry to be so silent, but I have been busy. Fortunately, my dog is feeling better.
This WaPo piece has something valuable inside: the names of some of the grownups running DOGE behind the scenes. The Incels are a distraction.

These people are real. It'd be helpful for people in the agencies to ID anyone from DOGE for...reasons.
