We did this to ourselves with our votes. We watched people like Mitch McConnell go after the Tea Party and never punished him for it. The list is endless. Lindsey Graham, Paul Ryan, Schumer, Pelosi, Grassley, Cruz, Rubio, waddling pants-crapper Nadler, and so on. We just kept voting in people that are trashcans as humans and now we sit back and ask, "what went wrong?"

We voted for the worst people on the planet and gave them tons of power. That's what happened. We're idiots.

That sounds like activity on a classified system that gets logged.

Massie Derangement Syndrome claims another victim.

Trump sits in the cuck chair while Bibi has his way with Melania and our military.

"I'm gonna get her in trouble with this, but I actually asked her once, I said, ‘So Miriam, I know you love Israel. What do you love more, the United States or Israel? She refused to answer. That means—that might mean Israel, I must say.”
- Trump

One day, people are going to learn that Massie is actually reading these things that come up for a vote.

Why is spending increasing, then? FY26 is projected to be a bigger deficit than FY25. Where is the money going?

Need about 30 million more deportations.

Their messages were designed to make military members adopt a position whereby orders were presumed to be illegal, rather than the other way around. Every military member is given training on this, Congress knows this. There's simply no reason for them to give the messages they gave, going direct to military members. They are the Congress - if they had issues with the orders being given, they have their own mechanisms to take that up with the Executive. Rest assured, if Republicans did the same thing, Merrick Garland would have already had them in prison.

People have questioned Kurt's death since 1994. His marriage with Courtney was pretty rocky. A lot of people questioned her influence on him. Also, she had her own band, Hole. Their album, Live Through This, was released the same week as Kurt's death. The bassist for Courtney's band (last name Pfaff) died the same year as Kurt. Both were drug addicts, though she had recently gotten sober, allegedly, and had gone back home to the midwest. She died during a trip back to WA to get all of her stuff. She was together with Hole for one album and one tour, I believe, and things didn't go that well, even though she was a great musician. She and Kurt were friends, shared music ideas, and talked philosophy. People around them said there was no romantic connection but Courtney was very jealous and made it known.

The narrative around Kurt's death has never sat well with people that looked into the details. There have been rumors for over 30 years that Courtney played a role in his death. There are some fan-made documentaries on youtube that are interesting and worth the time to watch on a rainy day.

Nevermind and In Utero were both fantastic albums. Nirvana was part of what may have been the greatest year in rock history - 1991. The list of albums released that year is nothing short of incredible. Grunge produced the two best MTV Unplugged shows ever with Nirvana and Alice in Chains. Overall, Grunge doesn't get the credit it deserves. These were good bands, often playing in Drop-D tuning and the best of them had the world's best drummers and best vocalists, with only a few notable exceptions being outside of the grunge genre, like Neil Peart from Rush, on drums.

Heroin took quite a few people from the grunge era. It's not hard to see how Kurt lost his way, got overwhelmed, and took an early exit. It's also plausible that foul play was involved. Some think he was on the verge of breaking Nirvana apart, for his own sanity, thinking the fame, money, attention, and pressure was a negative influence. Remember, a substantial part of the Grunge vibe was being in music for the sake of being in music, not for purely commercial interests. Some speculated that Courtney felt this would put a stop to her gravy train and decided that Kurt was worth more to her if he was dead, rather than being married to the guy that broke up Nirvana and decided to live isolated from the fame and the fans. Some felt she believed that her career would fade away if Kurt broke up Nirvana, because she was tethered to him.

Many people in music have questioned Courtney Love's talent and ability to front a band. Her band did put out some good songs, though. "Violet" and "Doll Parts" were two, early, good ones, from Live Through This, with lyrics like, "when they get what they want, and they never want it again...go on take everything, take everything, I want you to...". The retrospective analysis fueled conspiracy theories.
"Celebrity Skin" was good. Their best song may have been "Malibu", in 1998. Probably when she was at her best in terms of looks and talent, which is sort of strange, given it was four years after the tragic and unexpected death of her husband, who was literally on top of the music world in 1994. Didn't seem to have any lasting effects on her. But, perhaps music was her therapy.

(I just recently finished watching some videos on Grunge, Kurt and Layne, their lives, their spirals downward, the odd tale of Demri Parrot, Layne Staley's off and on girlfriend who also died after destroying her life with heroin, Kurt's death, and am editing a book review about the Grunge era trying to do things to make some money, so this stuff is fresh in my head right now. Just prior to Layne's death he told people that she'd come to visit him in the apartment that he secluded himself within. Alice in Chains recorded Unplugged just a few months prior to Demri's death. She had severe health issues from heroin abuse and was deteriorating quickly at that time, and if you watched Layne, it was obvious at that recording he was spiraling down as well. That show was pretty much it for AIC.)

Don't know if this will show or not... (nothing will happen) the link appears to be a gif but things from tenor don't seem to show up. LINK

You say this while completely ignoring the boondoggle project he literally vetoed.

Then Trump signed off on a spending bill sending many times this water project amount to go to places like Egypt and Jordan and Israel.

The water project has been in the works since the 60s. It's definitely another issue that is more state than federal; but, let's not pretend Trump vetoed this out of any urges to be fiscally conservative or eliminate waste. It was his first veto and this project was to provide clean drinking water to Americans. Lot of options out there that are better suited for your first veto.

At Davos, Trump "hinted at a $800bn reconstruction fund for Ukraine" according to Alastaire Crooke. He's not interested in pinching pennies, and we all know he's going to sign up US taxpayer dollars to cover a blank check to do whatever Israel wants with regard to Iran, Gaza, and rebuilding Gaza as an Israeli vacation resort. There's just no way to believe this water project jumped out to him as wasteful spending that demanded his veto, in light of his other spending.

He knows this shite too. After all, he is spearheading the fricking charge. Again, if random assholes like me on the internet understand their reasons for redactions, he damn sure frickin does. Especially after reviewing them unredacted.

You seem exceptionally angry about Massie's desire to shine light on people that enjoy watching torture videos, and openly state this as part of their correspondence with someone known to have abused and trafficked young girls. Also, when the admin released emails about the Mar A Lago raid a few years back, they left plenty of email addresses and full names exposed. Blanche's comments here don't make a lot of sense.

Massie is burying himself in real time here.

He's not, though. That's not the perception anywhere on this planet, except here and within the ultra hardcore MAGA contingent.

He is literally siding with the communists before our eyes.

Communist would be siding with the faction that wants to concentrate the power and the information in the hands of the government, like DOJ's grip on these files, and their refusal to be open or tell the truth. There's simply no way to suggest that Trump and his admin have handled this well. This one issue has rallied people against him and divided his supporters, especially when he called people stupid for wanting more information.

How can you be angry with Massie over this stuff? He's the only reason we got this latest tranche.

His policies at DHS were designed to harm the country. And yet, Bondi has not gone after him at all.

I don't see Elon being trustworthy. Let's see if anyone takes him up on this offer and if he tries to compel them to sign an NDA, as other big names did.

That said, it's time for the survivors to name names and specifics. It's the only way they'll ever get a measure of justice.

Decided to watch Schitt's Creek or whatever it's called. Never seen it before. Don't like it. Now watching Seinfeld and working on a project.
