Holy cow. God bless this man, whoever he is.

Happy birthday to John Brown, who knew exactly how to handle the south’s “Peculiar Institution”

Samuel Alito’s boy there on the right, doing the Supreme Court’s field work.

Neil Gorsuch was on Megyn Kelly’s show today.

Trump is a rapidly-decomposing old racist lunatic piece of shit.

John Lewis had John Roberts' number from the jump: takebackthecourt.substack.com/p/john-lewis...

Now that’s funny.

Sorry there, Don. Not a lot of pedophiles, con men, fascists, or rapists in the Registry of Great Men.

Who’d have thought a gray banker named Jerome would so delight in telling Trump to go fuck himself?

It is impossible to overstate the extent to which John Roberts has devastated our general sense that, deeply imperfect as it is, our government more or less intends well. He has never intended well, and he actively destroyed the sinews of decently that historically have held us together.

Several years ago I would not have agreed with this. But the SCOTUS has become such an untouchable redoubt of transgressive, anti-democratic hostility — rooted in a contempt for anything that isn’t white (Thomas included) and Christian — that it must be restructured. A country can’t live this way.

Every single bit of this. I have never done criminal work, but I’ve done an immense amount of . . . legal work . . . and White is right — it’s hard to communicate in actual language how unspeakably ludicrous this is.

There is no equivalent on the Democratic side for the pure, undiluted nihilism coming from the federal government right now. We basically have one party of technocrats and one party of Branch Davidians.

He isn't! This is what your media and politicians are hiding from you, because they're bound by a bunch of absurd professional norms that won't let them be honest. Trump is caught in a historically complex diplomatic maze, and he's functionally a chimpanzee. He's just going to fail forever!

Every single word of this. History will remember Volodymyr Zelensky as a great man and an epochal leader in the fight for freedom. History will remember Donald Trump as a corrupt sexual predator who devastated the Western alliance.

Imagine being the Attorney General of the United States and your job is to simp for an ugly ass ballroom

Not gonna lie — excluding all the shooty parts, this “manifesto” reads pretty much like a list of all the things that torque about 70% of the country.

💯 this.

"Do you regret your heated rhetoric?" "No. Do you regret your chilled rhetoric? Do you regret sitting on the sidelines as norms fell away and so many laws were broken? Do you regret pretending like this was all normal and you alone were savvy enough to see that Both Sides Are To Blame?"

Donald Trump called Somalis “animals.” He said Haitians eat dogs and cats. You fucking journalists had a party with him and now you want our sympathy. Fuck off.

These people are so low-rent. The Acting Attorney General just said that they're going to charge the suspect with "anything we can get on this guy."

Here we go. Now this motherfucker is using this as the reason he needs his corrupt, gross ballroom.

I think it’s horrible that anybody should be subjected to gun violence. unlike the guy everyone was there to party with, who thinks it’s good and cool

Here's the initial block list of those who attended the WHCD tonight. Adding names as it becomes clear they were there.

Watching MS NOW, and I got to tell you, these people -- who were there fully prepared to kiss ass in the grossest possible way -- now going on about how they heroic they were in the battle zone, while still in their tuxes and gowns, is pretty stomach-churning.

the irony is that there are many journalists who are threatened and killed for their work globally, except they don’t overlap at all with the people willing to attend the MAGA White House correspondent’s dinner

If the shots hadn’t been fired I was going to say some really juicy stuff challenging Trump to his face. But now that seems like it would be in poor taste.

Are they actively trying to inspire another shooter?

this bootlicker will never know honor

For the record: The Washington Post can go fuck itself. Support pro-democracy media that doesn't have its head stuck up Donald Trump's ass. bit.ly/4qmEiFz

Starting a mid-decade redistricting war only to end up with -1 seats is the same fine strategic genius and subtle grasp of game theory that brough us the Strait of Hormuz.

It must be an extraordinary thing to have a leader who can actually string together a series of related sentences in service of a coherent set of linked concepts. And note the way he very clearly, and understandably, considers the US to be an overt threat.

Arc de L’Humiliation.

📌MEDIA: Stop calling Jared Kushner a "high-level negotiator." He's a damn thief operating in his repulsive family's best interests not ours.

One of the most powerful critiques in this excellent piece involves Trump’s forfeiting our moral standing in favor of an execrable, barbarous regime . . . simply by being himself. There is no more powerful indictment of this odious heel than that the world now trusts Iran more than it does us.

The thing is, the Iranians know this, and are actively using it to enhance their own credibility — they need only say something generally true, but in contrast to the WH’s bullshit . . . voila, the murderous, theocratic Iranian regime becomes the credible adult in all of this. Trump is such a clown.

The President of the United States posted this. That he will continue in office affirms that we are unfit to govern ourselves and our American experiment has failed. Too many of us are too stupid, cowardly and damaged to be citizens of a republic, let alone our elected representatives.

This is what Times Square will look like when Congress or a cheeseburger finally does its job

Hungary is currently over 74 percent participation. If only we could see that in November

As little as I already thought of the man I'm in awe of what he's accomplished in 15 short months. Historic run. Basically threw away all his fire extinguishers and told every firefighter in town to eat shit, and then set his house on fire. We need a separate Mount Rushmore for morons

We have entered the “you can’t kill me if I commit suicide” phase of American Decline

I think it is clear that one aspect of the US mismanagement of the war and now the negotiations is simply racism. They can't understand the way that they were outmaneuvered. And they can't accept it.

One of the most brazenly corrupt events in history will take place tomorrow when Jared Kushner represents the U.S. in critical negotiations with Iran to end the war while he accepts millions in fees (and billions in investments) from the Saudi gov’t which has been lobbying Trump to continue the war

Good, good stuff.

was that Melania speech one of Iran’s demands

When we take back power, I do not want unity or healing, I want revenge. I also don't want a lecture on "but that's just like Trump, he wanted revenge." He was wrong, we are right. It's different. Get a moral compass. Revenge or sit down. Call it "justice" if you must, it's that too.

Trump has no loyalty, no strategy, only ego and greed. If Iran offered him the right to build a casino on Kharg Island, he’d jump at it and happily cater the opening of Iran’s first nuclear warhead factory.

BREAKING: DOJ investigating Iran for Mortgage Fraud.

“In the midst of Vietnam, Lyndon B Johnson angrily and famously declared: ‘I’m not going down in history as the first American President to lose a war’. But he did. And yesterday Donald Trump became the second to also lose one.”
