Setting aside the overblown speculation about overturning Obergefell and substantive due process, this means that evil woman might actually have to pay plaintiffs what she owes them for violating their constitutional rights.

Gutting and politicizing the FBI is a win-win for this administration. If we get attacked because we’re vulnerable, it’s just another opportunity to crack down on dissent and consolidate power. bsky.app/profile/news...

"General Arnold has been fighting for West Point all year. He will keep fighting."

It’s not left v. center or progressive v. liberal or anything like that. It’s fight v. don’t fight.

Capitulating Democratic senators waited until after the election, indicating they know capitulation was a bad politics that bothers their voters and reduces their chances of retaking power.

The ugly reality is that the Democrats caved because of unions. They've been under enormous pressure to give in so that unionized federal workers get paid (and notably, that's the only concession they got). The rest of the American people -- who do not have union insurance -- can go to hell.

The American People: [deliver a big electoral win for Democrats who fight the regime] Democrats: Oh, that means they want us to cave.

100% this. The idea that our "great Founders" intended for the President to be able to raise taxes on Americans because someone in Canada ran an ad he didn't like is legitimately insane. It's the epitomization of arbitrary power.

Congrats to the eight Democrats who gave this regime a huge win over the weekend. Here’s your reward. www.nytimes.com/2025/11/10/u...

Putting aside Rick Scott's history with fraud ... while I like HSA's for routine care, they are in no way suited to replacing health insurance. Do you think people are going to negotiate prices while having a heart attack? And what happens if costs get big? My wife would be dead by now.

From @hal10000.bsky.social "As for his influence on national politics, I would caution my Democratic friends from reading to much into this. NYC is its own thing. A number of NYC mayors have thought their tenure would be a springboard to national politics. It has never worked out for them."

somebody's been informed he's losing the case

All of these morons are convinced that the only mistake they made in Trump 1.0 was not being lawless, violent, repressive, and ruthless enough. And now they're indulging that fantasy, imagining that if they hurt enough ppl horribly enough, everyone will instantly surrender unconditionally to them.

Refusing to work with Israeli academics means refusing to work with one of the main sources of dissent within Israeli society. To be sure, their views are not uniform, but that is a reason to avoid broad based bans,

They’re wearing masks so they can’t be prosecuted later. As long as they think they can’t be prosecuted, their crimes will intensify. They will torture, starve and kill, as they have already, on greater and greater scale. Signed, someone who’s covered the unaccountable War on Terror for 23 years.

They lost their retirement savings on Trump’s crypto and NFTs. They blame Democrats.

My theory about Joyce Carol Oates is that all her bad posts are her charging up like Godzilla's spines until she lets loose with a radioactive blast that leaves the world's richest Nazi a pile of ash

Trump has staffed his government with straight up segregationists who are almost literally spitting on the graves of people who gave their lives for this country.

I’ve only used it to see how wrong it gets things.

This is fucking obscene. The Heritage Foundation is filled with unAmerican bigots.

Look, I'm not going to make a donation to his campaign so quit trying to talk me into it.

The Republicans are a bunch of rapists, pedophiles, and violent misogynists, meanwhile they’re trying to smear this guy just for following THOSE DIRTY WHORES

Mamdani is going to implement Charmin Law. Anyone who squeezes toilet paper before buying it will be sent to Mr. Whipple's re-education camp.

Whenever a politician talks up his faith, check your wallet.

The housing bubble and financial crisis was driven by multiple interconnected industries, and tons of voluntary participants at various levels. The AI industry is centered on a handful of companies, with a few prominent very rich leaders who openly meddle in politics. A backlash could be severe.

They’re bailing out Argentina because they’re all going to be living there when this is over.

Lando was the MVP of the Battle of Endor. Saved the fleet from smacking face-first into the shield, saved them again by mixing it up with Star Destroyers and then was first in/last out assaulting the Death Star. His instincts were better than Ackbar's plans. Legend.

Even better: "Trump Administration threatens to arrest and/or shoot people for praying."

"Or other health issues" including cancer. And this, my friends, is why my Aussie wife, whose pancreatic cancer is technically in remission, can't visit her family.

They just LOVE dancing around Trump's increasingly-obvious mental illness with phrases like "strange obsession". He is insane. Deranged. Absolutely barking mad. Bat-shit crazy. A dangerously-unhinged megalomaniac. Stop trying to hide this behind polite words like "strange".

I thought they were decent to great at the time. Still do. A lot of people grew up on them. And the Clone Wars series retroactively made them better. Also, the sequels, by contrast ... I mean, at least the prequels had a plot.

Everyone who has ever worked in retail knows that corporate memos are nonsense handed down by nitwits who have never worked at the business' front lines and have no idea how ridiculous their demands are.

Looks like the New York Sharia Communist Caliphate fell apart before it could get even get started. Someone tell the Wall Street Journal.

sometimes an Oxford comma can make all the difference

Gets a little less funny when you find out the city spent $95 on the park this slide is in.

How it started. How it's going. Fuck RFK, Jr.

"Get rid of Obamacare and replace it with Obamacare" is always where this was going.

Yep. Regard anything DHS/ICE say as a lie until proven otherwise.

The laws of war are not mere niceties. They are lessons from centuries of blood agreed upon to keep the world more stable. Violating them isn’t hero cop who cuts through red tape to get things done, it’s psycho cop who crosses lines in ways even the rule benders find appalling and must be stopped.

Federal agents forbidding faith leaders from praying sounds like a violation of religious freedom. But then I remember that “religious” means “white Christian identity politics,” and “freedom” means “Christian nationalists’ unrestricted ability to impose their beliefs on others.”

Panera’s moderately caffeinated lemonade was loosely associated with 2 deaths before it was taken off market. This article alone has 4 examples of ChatGPT encouraging young people to commit suicide, and OpenAI’s own public stats estimate over a million users discuss suicide with ChatGPT each week.

Someone at the NYT needs to be turned upside down and shaken vigorously until a useful organ slides in to fill that empty spot in their skull. French's entire piece (free link: www.nytimes.com/2025/10/23/o...) is about how this idea, pushed by Helen Andrews, is *wrong*.

Given that she seems to mainly sit around the White House feeling sorry for herself, I guess she *is* the most patriotic member of this Administration.

Counterpoint: no

John Williams' music could make paint drying the most thrilling thing in the universe. Almost makes you forget, as @four4thefire.bsky.social and I once discussed, that Ackbar executed the dumbest strategy since Lee said, 'let's send an entire division slowly through the center of everyone's fire'.

This can't be real.How can the most powerful man in the world look like he went face-first into a manure truck?

It only takes a casual familiarity with David French (even as generally a David French hater) to realize this headline is wildly misleading.

The most insecure petty little man in history.

Things are better but I still occasionally get a random whiff of skunk in this house. And Sherlock Bones still smells despite three shampooings, two with anti-skunk properties. I think it got into his skin (he has somewhat thin fur). So we may just have to live with a smelly dog for a few weeks.

She does this constantly, so I'm not terribly worried. Yet. But what a sad pathetic person.
