It is fashionable in Georgetown to say Biden did plenty, and you ungrateful bastards were too dumb to see it, too spiteful to admit it, it wasn't "viral," etc. Those people exist. The larger problem is that Biden felt he was doing enough to restore order.

Ohioans are sick and tired of the corruption they’ve come to expect from our politicians like Jon Husted.

This is what happens when you elect incompetent dipshits with no desire to actually govern. #Losing www.theatlantic.com/internationa...

Pro-European, center-right Péter Magyar has been sworn in as Hungary's prime minister. The EU flag was raised on the parliament building in Budapest for the first time since Viktor Orbán's authoritarian government removed it in 2014.

“officials discovered two industrial-scale water hookups feeding a data center campus located 20 miles south of downtown Atlanta. One water connection had been installed without the utility’s knowledge, and the other was not linked to the company’s account and therefore wasn’t being billed.”

“Tyrants and autocrats have always understood that literacy, learning, books and newspapers are potentially dangerous. They can inspire independent thought and even rebellion.” ~ Carl Sagan (1934-1996) #Art by Mndphoto.

Seem to recall something in some book some where about some people worshipping a golden something and their God being really pissed or something. Hmm... Can't quite put my finger on it... 🤔

WaPo-ABC-Ipsos poll: 87% of Americans have a negative view of Trump's social post appearing to depict himself as Jesus 69% dislike Pete Hegseth praying at the Pentagon for 'overwhelming violence of action against those who deserve no mercy'

hundreds of millions ensuring their confirmation. Justice Alito took a private phone call with President-elect Trump while Trump had active cases before the court. Roberts isn’t wrong that people see the court as political. He’s wrong about why they see it that way.

President Obama to Stephen Colbert: "We can survive a lot." "We can't overcome the politicization of our justice system … You can't have a situation in which whoever is in charge of the government starts using that to go after their political enemies or reward their friends."

The aim of the war is no longer regime change. The aim of the war is now to convince people this wasn't a mistake in the first place.

What separates the men from the boys in politics is the boys seek office to be somebody and the men seek office to do something.

Wrong question. The correct questions are “How many ways will he try to rig the midterms, how much impact is he likely to have, and how likely is he to get away with it?”

Trump ended 8 wars with Iran.

Baskin-Robbins Chik'n & Waffles (2023-2023): Buttermilk waffle-flavored ice cream, loaded up with a bourbon-maple syrup swirl and chunks of "chik'n-waffle bites", which were bite-sized (meatless) morsels engineered to taste like fried chicken and waffles.

One of my TAs literally told me this exact thing yesterday. They are from a small, rural town where "everyone looks just like [them]". They really like being at a school where there are lots of different people with different backgrounds and cultures. They like the diversity.

"For this focus group, conducted shortly before a sustained green glow began emanating from the station’s superlaser array, we spoke with residents who said they had backed Emperor Palpatine but now felt conflicted."

Jar-Jar Binks Lollipop (1999-1999): A promotional item for "Star Wars: Episode I", this candy featured the plastic likeness of character Jar-Jar Binks, whose mouth opened to reveal a retractable strawberry-flavored sucker, shaped and textured like his tongue. Delightful.

Ohioans are working harder than ever, but still struggling to get by. Jon Husted’s advice? Just do more work.

“Once a government is committed to…silencing the voice of opposition, it has only one way to go, and that is down the path of increasingly repressive measures, until it becomes a source of terror to all its citizens and…a country where everyone lives in fear.” ~Pres. Harry Truman, 1950. Image: AP.

This is a real post from the president during a war while gas prices are at a 4-year high and his disapproval is at an all-time high in some polls.

Let's start right now, release Trump's cognitive test! And all the Epstein files.

We now know the Iran war price tag is more like $50 billion - hundreds of dollars per household - and counting. It's enough to cover all the health insurance premium credits that the Republicans got rid of for this year, and next. It could save rural hospitals, pay teachers, fix roads.

“Only to the white man was nature a ‘wilderness’ & only to him was the land ‘infested’ with ‘wild’ animals & ‘savage’ people. To us, it was tame. Earth was bountiful & we were surrounded with its blessings.” ~ Luther Standing Bear, Oglala Sioux Chief (1868-1939) # Sculpture, Chief Standing Bear.

It's 28th Amendment week in my Discourse & Democracy class! Students are all pitching their ideas for a new amendment and voting on which one to adopt. First idea: All Americans should learn a second language!

Not sure I even care about whatever happened at the correspondent's dinner last night. It's kinda ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I mean this always seems to happen when Trump's approval ratting is rock bottom. Yay, he survived, let's get back to worrying about the economy and what Trump was doing on Epstein Island.

“Overcoming poverty is not a gesture of charity. It is an act of justice.” ~ Nelson Mandela (1918-2013) #Photography, Socialpolicy Greece.

Q: Ken Paxton said requiring the Ten Commandments in public classrooms is a ‘major victory for our moral values.’ Your response? Talarico: I’m not sure if Ken Paxton is in a place to lecture us on moral values. The only thing worse than a tyrant is a tyrant who thinks they’re on a mission from God.

This is very accurate.

I find myself just wanting to ask the mainstream political media this question over & over again. You have discovered that the conservative movement is composed of a bunch of lunatics who believe insane, obviously false things. WHY DOESN'T THAT CHANGE THE WAY YOU TREAT THEM?

So, American taxpayers have had to pay about 90% of the cost of the Trump tariffs. And now that the Supreme Court has pointed out the illegality of the Trump tariffs, importers will now have to be refunded... by American taxpayers. Do I have that right?

This reads like someone trying very hard to believe their own story.
