Sorcerer (1977) dir. William Friedkin

"There’s an iconic image of Hillary Clinton on the 2016 campaign trail looking out of place and conspicuously uncomfortable in an East Harlem working-class apartment. Zohran Mamdani’s campaign for mayor was the exact opposite of that, all the time." I'm on this team

Bless Elizabeth Warren for making sure Larry Summers never achieved his dream of being Fed Chair. Small victories.

Not sure “He was raping teenagers, not raping children” lands with the qualifier impact Megyn Kelly intended.

I love the way each of the six baby crocodiles in this photo seems to have a completely distinct personality. Top (l.-r.): Introvert, idealist, jerk Bottom (l.-r.): Class clown, stoner, pessimist

Just thinking about how Obama almost made Larry Summers Fed chair....

Maybe it's time to make more noise about this? Last spring a thousand agents frantically redacted all mentions of Trump's name in the Epstein files. How does that square with what can and will be released?

The value of reading history is you know that in 1860 there were abolitionists who were so demoralized that they thought chattel slavery would be permanent. 5 years later those still alive had lived to see its end.

You know who:

All this and more.

They call economics the dismal science for a reason.

Salo was a documentary, the truest film ever made, one that slides farther down the spectrum from metaphor to literal reality every year

Kind of feel like the Epstein was murdered club got a lot of new members today.

How does the news cycle always ultimately end up being about the New York Times.

By any reasonable calibration, the two biggest assholes to afflict themselves on Harvard University in the modern era are Larry Summers and Alan Dershowitz, and of course, Jeffrey Epstein collected them both.

i have said this before but i think that the people who were “charmed” by epstein wanted to be charmed

He was a pure manipulator; his brain, if he had ever had one, must have early oozed along into the muscles of his fingers.

Pizzagate: If you replace the word “hot dog” with “little boy” and “pizza party” with “child sex orgy,” you will see the lengths these elites go to cover up their crimes. Real elite emails: Send me nude pictures of those 8th graders we abused last weekend post-haste! I am the Ambassador to Turkey.

Something absolutely perfect about Larry Summers riffing about the scourge of woke cancel culture being unfair to predatory men in a friendly email to his pal JEFFREY EPSTEIN.

I don’t understand what you’re talking about. This Brawndo economic report says it’s what plants crave

trump made the prosecutor who gave epstein a pass the secretary of labor!

A weird aspect of male supremacy is that the baseline presumption of innocence is exponentially higher in cases of violence against girls and women than in most crimes.

the republican party is engaged in a cover up to keep the american people from learning whether president trump is president pedo

Obvious but worth saying. We really think the White House/DOJ which disappears documents and people pretty regularly is gonna go, "Welp, House voted so I guess we have to turn over the stag films of Trump with a 15 yr old. The rules are the rules." I'm not saying the exercise is pointless at all.

Soft secession Legislation creates a Federal Tax Escrow Account in the state treasury. Instead of employers forwarding collected federal taxes to Washington, they send them to the state. The state holds the money in escrow. A legislative panel reviews federal spending for constitutional compliance.

Wanton murder is a deal-breaker for some democracies. Who knew?

These wealthy senators are in on the game.

it's not that i ever doubted that being a barista was a skilled position, but my year-long effort to try to produce a half-decent latte at home has convinced me that a good barista is easily more skilled than virtually every c-suite executive on the planet

Just watched Bernie Sanders on Maddow and in response to whether Schumer should step down from leadership, his answer was "Look Schumer is part of the Dem Establishment and if he steps down who will replace him?" I mean... Bernie, WTF???? Take a damn stand.

It’s not that we didn’t want the shutdown to end, it’s the fact that millions of people suffered throughout this shutdown and it was for nothing. That’s the most upsetting part.

Why? What was the reason? The shutdown stunt didn't piss off enough people? Does it seem advisable to take away people's jobs, incomes, and healthcare and now their treats, too?

Don't call the cops on someone in a mental health crisis unless you want them dead.

no quote about the US political system has ever gone harder than this one

This is incredible no matter how you look at it, but the fact that she did it in a minivan, makes it even more amazing. It's like winning a marathon while wearing a cast on your foot.

these are the dumbest people on earth.

This isn't "internal recriminations." It's voters expressing overwhelming opposition to what the people they elected to represent them are doing, and anyone--either in journalism or politics--who characterizes it as infighting is either not seeing and hearing what's right in front of them or lying.
