"Public executions are what oppressive dictatorships like Iran and Afghanistan do," said GOP Sen. Thom Tillis.

MAGAs strike me as the type of people who would bring a family picnic to a public execution and make a day of it. - Amy

Rubio Threatens To End The International Criminal Court. How Is He Going To Do It? Public Executions?

The United States was accused of launching "an assault" on the world's legal order after imposing more sanctions on the international criminal court (ICC).

Unveiling the Trump administration's latest escalation against the court, which it has accused of politicization and unfairly targeting Americans for war crime charges, Marco Rubio, the US secretary of state, declared: "Either the ICC will end its threats, or we will end the ICC."

Even if Trump gets booted out, the world cannot trust a country that elected a monster like him TWICE

Christian right wing fundamentalist lunatics

What Will Trump's Favorite Judge Do?

A group of current and former FBI agents who are "experts in the handling of classified information" and don't want to violate Judge Aileen Cannon's orders are once again asking the Mar-a-Lago jurist for some "necessary" clarifying relief...The attorneys emphasized that "immunity" for the agents wouldn't protect them from "court-imposed sanctions" for which they "could be held in contempt," given Cannon's order.

Trump: "New York City officials released a map showing ethnic communities. It includes Little Senegal, Little Guyana, Little Haiti, Little Yemen, but it does not include a place called Little Italy. An unthinkable omission. We are gonna work on that immediately, or we're not going to be sending them any of the billions and billions of dollars that they want to waste all the time."

Looks As Though Kimberly Guilfoyle Will Be Left Flapping In The Wind
Businessman Eric Deters said he has "no doubt it was pay to play," claiming Kimberly Guilfoyle, now the U.S. ambassador to Greece and ex-fiancee of Donald Trump Jr., asked him to wire $100,000 to pay her American Express bill in exchange for her help with the Trump administration ahead of Guilfoyle's Senate confirmation hearing.

If Anyone Knows Mortgage Fraud, It Is Trump. He Tried The Same Thing With New York Attorney General Letitia James and Failed.
President Trump has established a committee to investigate allegations against Federal Reserve governor Lisa Cook, including mortgage fraud and whether her statements constituted legal "cause" for Cook's removal from the central bank.

Every billionaire "started in a garage" story conveniently leaves out the parental loans, elite university connections, and safety nets. Bezos got $300k from his parents. Gates' mom was on IBM's board. Musk's family owned an emerald mine. The garage is aesthetics. The capital is inherited. Stop calling it self-made when it's generationally funded. - Renzo

Here's your bit of cuteness for today.

This warmed my heart.  Last week I was searching for an allhatnocattle image of Abu Ghraib torture and google AI came up with this...

Excuse my sloppy cut and paste skills. Google got 99% correct except for that I "originally managed the operation in Ashford, Alabama" is incorrect. I started this adventure in Navarre, Florida.
