Oh i need to clarify β I would never use a photo of me, what a terrible shock that would be each time I pulled out my phone!
Threads post: People who don't have pictures of yourself, what's your lock screen?
π€£π€£π€£ I changed mine yesterday, for the first time in about a year.
I canβt possibly answer this question without dying of embarrassment lol. Threads must have surfaced this post in an effort at a collective shaming ritual π

ββ¦the Florida Bar rejected two other recent ethics complaints against Bondi, saying it βdoes not investigate or prosecute sitting officers appointed under the U.S. Constitution while they are in office.β

Where did all the competent people go?! Thatβsβ¦a pretty wild mistake. Or a panicked reversal.

Yeah. Grr.
Yeah I was starting to think they were just going to get away with it. The revelations about what went on with that grand jury were genuinely jaw dropping.

Utterly insane. Which is why I have to say, I feel a lot of respect for the three who tried to reassert Congressβs war powers this week π«‘
And the Fourth Amendment. I just remembered she violated the Fourth Amendment.
Oh and the Fifth π€£ She told the grand jury Comey would have to testify at trial
Yeah but ethics is something everyoneβs meant to understand?! π€£
Mitt Romney said that loads of his colleagues told him they wanted to vote to convict, but were terrified of their families receiving threats. Or losing a primary FFS π
Itβs going to be Operation Rebuild DOJ in a few years time πͺ
π I still canβt wrap my head around anything she did. Did she just not pay attention at law school?!
It was right there!!! I still feel sure he could have found enough votes π«
They only make them in Kentucky. (I think Mitch McConnell was born before the states decided which one would have the honor π€·ββοΈ)
Got to wait until June π« I need them to release it a lot earlier than that π€£
So 2026 happened and now Iβm sitting here as a βradical left lunaticβ who is *deathly afraid* that heβll lose his primary because of that guy in the Oval Office. This is a legit source of anxiety for me now. Thank you world, what a time to be alive π΅βπ«
Itβs pale pink π₯Ή Iβm so pleased π€£
Look what just got announced!!! OMG Iβm so excited π I have all the perfumes in this series (vanilla, tonka, iris β the BEST β and jasmine). This one has notes of TOFFEE!!! π₯³π
So I was wondering why reading Massieβs second paragraph reminded me of that hideous βitβs Supreme Court opinions day and now the world is all wrongβ feeling.
Long story short, I learned a new term:
CONSTITUTIONAL GRIEF.
Holy shit.
Iβm going to do that βWTF Iβm so frustrated and angry WHAT IS WRONG WITH YOUβ crying, commonly associated with Supreme Court opinion days π«
βThat's the exact circumstance in which the Founders intended for Congress to authorize war, but sadly we've now abdicated that responsibility.β
Thatβs three Republicans across two votes who showed moral courage and personal integrity by standing for the Constitution: Thomas Massie, Warren Davidson, and Rand Paul.
And five Democrats who didnβt: Henry Cuellar, Jared Golden, Greg Landsman, Juan Vargas, and John Fetterman.
βFour Democrats β Representatives Henry Cuellar of Texas, Jared Golden of Maine, Greg Landsman of Ohio and Juan C. Vargas of California β broke with their partyβ¦β
Iβm not sure why they even bother swearing oaths these days, do they do it with their fingers crossed behind their backs?
President Trump just announced on social media that Kristi Noem is out at the Department of Homeland security. He wants Senator Markwayne Mullin to replace her.
Markwayne Mullin?! Fucking Markwayne Mullin?!?! Heβs just swapped the drivers in this Clown Car.
(Republican) Rep. Warren Davidson on today's war powers vote: "...the moral hazard posed by a government no longer constrained by our Constitution is a grave threat."
Fact check: True!!!!!!!
