Is that because he's a matador for his wife's bull, Elon Musk, in cuckold nomenclature?

He called Trump "Hitler" before casting aside even the meekest of principles in pursuit of power

Friday: a prosecutor is forced to resign bc he concludes there's not enough evidence to go after Trump's perceived enemies Saturday: Trump makes public post asking Attorney General why she hasn't gone after his enemies Wednesday: DOJ says enemy indictment coming right up sir do I have that right?

Not sure this sentence has been written very often: "Anything that could possibly go Cleveland's way, has."

Sanewashing

NPR is failing us, too, and that sucks

Trump openly tweets his crimes and corruption without consequences. This is the millionth thing that would have ended every past presidency, and is cheered by his vindictive serf followers and the establishment strokes its chin over and sanewashes. Enraging. The most feeble strongman.

This is great piece about the contradictions of unitary executive theory. I’ve always struggled to understand why powerful people take it seriously and the obvious answer is that it takes powerful people seriously.

43 million views. Blatant lies being promoted by the world's richest man on the platform he owns that ensures everyone sees his posts. This is going to incite so much violence, hate, and discrimination against trans people and there's not much we can even do about it.

No amount of better messaging, being nicer on social media, or having modest political goals was ever going to work to stop this backlash because the world's richest and most powerful people have all decided they don't want us to exist. How do you even fight blatant lies like this?

Trump/MAGA have baited media into inflating Kirk into a world historical martyr, thus exaggerating the cultural pull of Trumpism. The reality: It's Trump's authoritarian abuses that are provoking a massive cultural and societal backlash. (h/t @gelliottmorris.com) newrepublic.com/article/2008...

The most offensive WWE persona ever devised is about to be unveiled in Saudi Arabia.

Without question Trump stayed up to watch Kimmel, and I'm sure he's enraged. Some asinine Truth Social post will drop soon, and perhaps some brain-rotted senile whining during a presser, but Kimmel absolutely bested Trump. Autocrats are congenitally insecure and cannot stand being mocked.

The Kimmel monologue was 18 minutes of extraordinary, raw television that will be hated by the people who wanted him off the air for good. Trump and Brendan Carr lost this one as badly as it's possible to lose.

Kimmel: "Disney has asked me to read the following statement and I agreed to do it. 'To reactivate your Disney+ and Hulu account ... '"

KIMMEL: "This show is not important. What is important is that we get to live in a country that allows us to have a show like this… Trump might have to release the Epstein files to distract us from THIS now.”

holy shit lol. What a weird thing to post ahead of a Kimmel show that will have a gargantuan audience.

The American League Central-leading Cleveland Guardians

Watching a third of the country beclown and degrade themselves in cultish devotion to this stumbling turnip makes me want to puke.

It gives me no pleasure to report that he does indeed have that shit on

“Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.”

I wish people would stop acting like my autism is something that needs to be "fixed"

Tigers probably should pull Skubal now

The American Civil War started long before 1861 and certainly didn't end at Appomattox. It's the story of this place since the first European colonists arrived and will be for a long time to come.

I read the first five words of this and immediately clocked that what came next would be some embarrassing hagiography effort over our fascist president's favorite dead bigot podcaster.

I guarantee he absolutely will not be ok with whatever backlash comes. These faith fuckers are more sensitive than a clitoris, and they don't know what that is either.

[new Isaac Chotiner interview]

Accurately quoting Charlie Kirk: "encouraging political violence." Suggesting we bomb the UN because the escalator Trump was on was broken: "lol fuck 'em"

Kimmel is back, but many Americans won’t be able to watch. Two companies — Nexstar and Sinclair — control hundreds of local TV stations and have business deals pending Donald Trump’s approval. They won’t air Kimmel tonight. I’m pressing for answers on potential corruption.

Seems bad for our society when you can’t make racist terrorists the villains

Three Sinclair-owned ABC affiliates here in Michigan ordered not to show Kimmel tonight. Sinclair has long had a well-earned reputation for its shitty far-right ownership.

Same, Greg Olsen, same.

What Megyn Kelly seems to be saying is that it’s one thing to contact the dead, and it’s another thing to meddle, and we are meddling

Amazing how "Antifa" isn't actually an organization but still designated as a "terror group," while the KKK is an actual white supremacist "christian" terrorist organization that has mass murdered thousands of Black people and some white allies for 160 years—and is still not labeled a terror group.🤔

the US if Tylenol actually caused autism

Ukraine captures Moscow thanks to 12 new divisions outfitted by the U.S., and Trump finally gets his hotel in Red Square lol

Trump would overflow his Depends with fear shits if he ever actually met, and had to govern in opposition to, actual radical Leftists.

If Isaac Chotiner showed up on my caller ID seeking an interview, my first move would be to buy a one-way ticket to Pitcairn Island or St. Helena. Then I'd put my phone in the microwave on high for 30 minutes.

America loves to blather on about the sanctity and wonder of free market economics but steadfastly refuses to examine why domestic demand for cocaine is up.

Groton, Conn.:

"Come after me! I'm a man! I'm 4̶0̶ 58!"

He's a blend of Juan Perón, Francisco Franco, Father Caughlin, Huey Long, and PT Barnum but illiterate and with 40 fewer IQ points.

Happy "Alien: Earth" Season 1 finale day to those that celebrate and have not yet been raptured!

Since their return in 1999, the Browns have infamously struggled at QB. Of the 40 to start a game for them in that span, only Baker Mayfield was at least reliably "very good" and the rest were mediocre or worse (or, like Tim Couch and Mayfield not give given time/weapons). Flacco? Solidly solid.

I never thought a dystopian nightmare could be this embarrassing.

Trump's entire worldview is transactional. He's a brittle husk.

I got to chat a few times with Dutch Leonard and he was a sweet, helpful delight -- he even bounced a book title off me his publisher was agitating to change ("Djibouti"). If you're into his books, this is worth your time to read.

I didn't get Raptured but maybe it's by time zones?
