So it's clear the report says running to the center is what doomed the 2024 election.

I know the Secret Service takes their job very seriously but they could at least post up on the roof wearing tricorner hats for fun.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck this. Thank god my passport doesn't expire until he's out of office. My kids on the other hand......

The more I hear about inverse proportion, the less I like it.

I continue to find the "shooting" narrative really odd! Security footage did not seem to show Allen firing shots at all; the gunfire appeared to come from Secret Service. "Attempted attack" would be more accurate, at least until there's more evidence made public.

AllI can say is that Josh d'Amaro better tell Trump and the FCC to fuck off and sue the shit out of them

one time the biden administration politely asked social media platforms to take down covid misinformation to save lives and the rightwing ecosystem spent years screeching about the perils of censorship

Crazy how their racism and bigotry just creates these feral barbarians in their mind, meanwhile Trump’s sons steal money from child cancer patients and celebrate the attack on Paul Pelosi.

BREAKING: DOJ's leaders just filed what amounts to a Truth social post as a legal filing in the ballroom case. Acting A.G. Todd Blanche, Associate A.G. Stanley Woodward, and Trent McCotter beclowned themselves in yet another dark, embarrassing moment for DOJ. Overnight, at Law Dork:

You really cannot overestimate the level of status trauma a lot of white Americans experienced at the election of Barack Obama and how much of our politics is still influenced by it bsky.app/profile/beau...

Vought needs to be in the first rank of the dock at The Tribunal, along with Elon Musk

A real photo of Kid Rock addressing service members at the Pentagon today. Nice summation of where things stand in the United States.

Thinking again about how Mackenzie Scott has given away $19 billion of her $38b and still seen her net worth increase, these are some weird little pissbabies

So that’s Musk, Zuck, Thiel, and the enshittifiers of Google. Good fucking riddance, and good luck in Florida. Learn to swim.

You are being robbed, America.

I asked Matt Mahan on a Zoom call last week about his donations from major players in Peter Thiel's orbit and he told me I was cherry picking donations and generalizing. Anyway, the co-founder of Palantir donated to both Mahan and Republican Steve Hilton within 24 hours.

Has anyone else noticed that Facebook pages make up an increasing percentage of Google results?

The DOJ has been taking down Epstein files. Here’s what remains. The massive tranche of files the Justice Department currently maintains is more than 65,000 pages shorter than what the agency initially released. www.cbsnews.com/projects/202...

what exactly is the challenge, he’s at 30% approval and 7 months away from being completely neutered, tell him to fuck off and reap good will

if only Louis XVI had had a ballroom he might be alive today

I'm sure this has been talked to death but Kimmel's "expectant widow" joke was obviously not about assassination, and if you think it was I want to sell you a reverse mortgage

this is like a caricature of the small ball, no conviction, triangulating nonsense that many people associate with democrats

The thing that keeps coming into my mind about the WHCD incident is that scene in THE HUNGER GAMES where Katniss scandalizes the Capital by throwing a spear into the press box during the scouting session. Look, we're all here to have a good time at The Murder Games but she could've hurt someone!

📌Barack Obama was targeted 11 times in assassination attempts during this two terms. I bet you don't remember any of them because they were handled through proper channels, professionally, and he isn't a whiny bitch.

In re: the utterly abject poverty of our National Conversation™️ about Tone Policing The Democrats while the far right authoritarian party does its daily dose of far right authoritarianism.

He quite literally won't shut up about a White House ballroom he can stay in for safety, what are you taking about?

If you think they're insufferable now, wait until the next WHCD event where they give each other a standing ovation and tell themselves how brave they are.

Liberals say that after Citizens United, the US ceased to function as a democracy and began to function as an oligarchy. They're wrong—after Citizens United, the US ceased to function as a republic and began to function as an oligarchy.

Uhhhhhhh........

For absolutely no reason thinking of the recent Daredevil episode where the Kingpin holds a big self-aggrandizing promotional event and intentionally has his security leave a weak spot in the perimeter to lure in vigilantes so he can make a show of defeating them. No reason at all.

Not to "Actually...." here, but actually, it was the current Vice President that compared Trump to Hitler.

I know normalization is just what we've decided to do to cope but turning a botched assassination attempt on the president of the united states into a public debate on gilded playspace is FUCKING STUPID and I refuse to treat this bullshit pivot seriously or with respect.

This move by SCOTUS is deeply insulting. The district court gathered a massive amount of evidence in record time, and District Judge Jeffrey Brown wrote a careful 160-page opinion. Now a majority of justices have dispensed with it without even providing a full written opinion.

This is what Marco Rubio decided to do with his life: "AIDS Creeps Back in Parts of Zambia, a Year After U.S. Cuts to HIV Assistance: A once-robust HIV treatment and prevention system, credited with saving hundreds of thousands of lives, has begun to crumble..." www.nytimes.com/2026/04/25/h...

Right. Recent Dem WHs have downplayed the risk that POTUS was under after gunmen were stopped/arrested without getting close to him. Trump's campaign and WH have accentuated the risk, portraying him as uniquely endangered (on orders of The Left).

i hate that these people keep making me say (relatively) positive things about bush but i think its so stark how will ferrell literally made his career shitting on bush and bush never called for snl to be canceled over it

In any assassination and terrorist event, it's important to have factual clarity about what happened. Alas, as with two earlier assassination attempts, Trump insists on muddying the water by lying. www.thenation.com/article/poli...

The White House Correspondents Dinner no more "defines democracy" than the New York BBWAA banquet defines baseball.

The Red Sox didn’t lose their way overnight. Their incentives shifted. When private equity enters sports, the questions change — and so do the answers. Inside the organization, some describe the culture as “toxic positivity.” The story behind it: open.substack.com/pub/joonlee/...

On this day ten years ago, Ted Cruz named Carly Fiorina as his running mate, transforming US politics for several hours

the thing about the ballroom is that trump very clearly wants the white house to be a kind of living tomb where he doesn't ever leave

A whole lot of people are equating “Security“ with “attacks must be prevented before they can ever happen“ vs “we must act quickly and safely if they do happen” This is why all these elites are calling for fucking precog AI shit in your email

Look, I am not genuinely convinced it was fake, but if you're asking why people think it's fake that an 80 year old man who lies about everything survived his third assassination attempt at a dinner that KEPT GOING while the nazi group chat says "this is why we need a ballroom," you are not serious

New in PN: A more secure ballroom will not stop the madness "Trump is to individual acts of political violence what climate change is to hurricanes: We may not be able to blame global warming for a particular one, but we know it creates the conditions for hurricanes to be more common and intense."

kfc in my small town has started halving their chicken breasts and selling it as a 2-piece. Multiple people have brought this up to me in the past week. It is quite literally the talk of the town. Someone called into the radio station about it and said it should be burned down with the owner inside

*flinging a copper from the window* You there, boy! What news from the op-eds? Do they hold the president responsible for radicalizing his assailants? Do they say he must change for bringing this on himself?
