you stupid mother fucker (markwayne not eugene) we tricked the entire world into sending their smartest hardest working people here and then tricked those same people into staying permanently instead of going back to their home country you are BLOWING UP OUR SPOT

the idea that supreme court reform would lead to the dissolution of the republic is a very stark demand that republicans be enabled to rule for eternity, and whatever else david french says about the republican party, this is what he actually believes

This is deeply disingenuous and, frankly, a dereliction of journalistic integrity. A quick glance at Yum! Brand’s annual filings reveal that this is common language included every single year as an investment risk factor. The most recent filing is no different because the risk is always present.

The detail I can’t get out of my head here is how he told his ex-wife that he had been hired by ICE, but she thought he must have been having a delusion, because how could ICE hire someone who had such a long history of family violence?

Canadian firefighters hauled ass to get down here when half of Los Angeles was on fire last year. What a characteristically classy way to repay that favor.

cooked, low energy, things of that nature in all seriousness: I’m not going to say we aren’t in trouble because we are obviously in trouble but whining about the SAVE Act is not the act of someone with a coherent plan to steal the elections and when he tries it’s going to be a haphazard shitshow

Trump's declassified election intelligence pretty clearly shows that China *could have,* but didn't, meddle in the 2020 election to help Biden win. But that Russia *did* meddle to help Trump win.

I am once again begging Hollywood to stop using the Greek alphabet for an Ancient World movie, if they can't afford to even throw a couple of quid at anyone with an inkling of the language. Unless they really think audiences are dying to see THS THDPSSSSPS

Chat is this good

It is objectively insane that this is what the president of the United States does every fucking day. And this is like the more harmless bullshit compared to the vindictive authoritarian bullshit he also does every fucking day. But just this shit is disqualifying.

The typical voter almost never sees, and the media conveys only tiny and often sane-washed snippets, his rambling gibberish both on Truth and on camera. There is definitely something to the point that people are actually under-exposed to how constantly, manifestly batshit insane he is.

this guy wants as many americans as possible to die of preventable diseases. he views that as preferable to vaccines or long term medication. makes us “stronger”

We love to see it

i see stoller is entering his tom watson era

Another historical inaccuracy from Nolan—IMAX had not yet been invented in the Mycenaean period, so this is not the aspect ratio that people saw in! Smh

Wurman's #2 is almost word-for-word what opponents of extending citizenship and suffrage to black Americans said after the Civil War

the brains of establishment media reporters need to be studied in labs

This is “so it’s illegal to make plans with friends now?” in the wild It has always been against the rules to collude with opposing counsel to defraud the public out of taxpayer dollars

the answer is bexause the author of this article is party to many crimes of an international nature

this is “pete hegseth wants an all-white military”

the "deliverism" v "popularism" debate in american politics is crazy because it's like if the highest paid chefs in the world decided to have a debate about whether "choppingism" or "boilingism" is the key to cooking

Michael Fanone's take on Lindsey Graham is one of the most powerful I've read:

How about when he threw an angry tantrum in defense of a SCOTUS nominee credibly accused of rape? Did you all have a good collegial chuckle over that?

Lindsey Graham spent the last decade of his life in public service as a US Senator, trying hard to be remembered as an enemy of the Constitution who worked to destroy American democracy and exhibited occasional signs that he knew why that was bad but kept doing it anyway. I will honor his choice.

The political press desperately wants to imagine RFK Jr as a type of independent-minded anti-establishment politician, and they will pretend his affair with Olivia Nuzzi is interesting to make it happen.

victory lapping on this one

by definition, anyone willing to work for trump is a fool and a scoundrel and should be nowhere near any position of power.

I bet they'll have a good laugh about this at the White House Stenographers Dinner.

when you theory-brain yourself into thinking a man with a bin on the head is the establishment

The American census says there's 340 million Americans. It is wrong. There are many more than that, they just haven't made it home yet.

A type of anti-anti-Platner take that I don't want to ever see again (but have indeed been seeing) is "people who didn't support Platner after Mills dropped out just didn't care enough about beating Collins." Because the thing is we fucking tried it your way and look where that got us you clowns.

My real name is Nick Farruggia, and the best thing about me is that I’m the son of Robin and Doug Farruggia. My dad passed away unexpectedly last week. The world should know what he was like, so I wrote about him.

You guys know Mike Rowe is a right wing crank with a communications degree lol

*searches article for mention of all the Christians killed by USAID cuts and finds none.* whelp.

he is not being covered as if he is a terminally unpopular lame duck because the media sees him attempting a coup and attempting to rig elections and think it would be more fun to help him do that than it would be to help stop him

That story about Daniel Moraff and Morris Katz trying to groom Oyster Boy for a 2028 presidential run instead of AOC is just a reminder how the left is a toxic old boy network that will never support a woman's presidential bid.

the next Democratic President needs to send aid targetted specifically to blue municipalities and states to restore the funds that were stolen from us under Trump.

This article is disturbing on it's own but something it doesn't address that I want to highlight is, if Moraff DID get other journalists to lie about Platner, then that's the kind of fireable ethics breach that could be used as blackmail to coerce a journalist to do further unethical things for him.

One of my main grips with the entire candidate thesis, is that a big problem with "outsider, not owned by anyone" is that also means they are accountable to no one! If they go out of pocket, there's no party leverage to carrot/stick them back. Platner is currently toying with an extreme example.

Credit to Bluesky, “Nazi tattoo bad” managed to nail the litmus test on the first go-round.

"it turns out that our audience was not as enthusiastic about rape apology as our editorial staff thought they would be. in future, we will install a dial titled 'rape apology' and will turn it slowly, checking over our shoulder for audience reaction."

Uhhhhhhhhhh Do we know if "until" here means "until just before" or "until after"

this is the sort of thing i was getting at in my Glonzo article there is nothing wrong with disliking AIPAC or the causes/candidates it advances, but when it becomes a generic villain you throw out in random contexts it should start to raise some eyebrows

I’m out visiting New York and I admit it’s a neat little town. I’m getting to see some local culture.

We still see the commentariat claim that white Obama-Trump voters were motivated by “economic anxiety” or felt “left behind”, because their mythology imagines that racism ended by the 80s and segregationists disappeared into thin air.

Fwiw the Platner withdrawal video begins with him once again denying the accusations and, as he starts to tear up, saying that he never wanted to get into politics. Pathologically incapable of taking responsibility.

One of the failures of access/political journalism is their treatment of political actions as story arcs with a predetermined beginning, middle, & end. So after Noem & Bovino exited stage left, they treat the story arc of the ICE raids as having been completed they move on to the next one.
