A simple piece of legislation would allow for reimbursement of the general public through the same mechanism as the covid stimulus checks. We should do that as soon as we take both houses in November.

Well Kevin, the Supreme Court's embrace of the unitary executive Theory giving him the unquestioned authority to order the doings of the Department of Justice truly have the fox guarding the hen house. It's a circle jerk. From now on limitations on executive power must have an enforcement clause

Every once in awhile I need to take a moment to Marvel at the absolute insanity of the degree to which working class Trump voters are complicit in their own destruction. Anger is the hurt and fear that is unexpressed.

Surprised to see someone other than myself highlighting Steven Miller's public charge Doctrine.

We need to lean in unapologetically on antitrust.

Gaslighting, lying (gaslying?), Freeman Speech Absolutism...Truth as a fungible commodity can only benefit the dishonest, and so has no place in our political discourse.

No shit, Sherlock...

I don’t know this person, but I so profoundly agree with her replies. The purity police on the left, play the same role again & again. It only benefits the likes of Trump. Kamala wasn’t ‘good enough’. Because Gaza. Because whatever else. Meanwhile, not voting & not voting Dem, gave victory to Trump.

The burned hand teaches best...

The Winklevi...hehehehe...

The post covid supply chain shock plus Ukraine war oil supply shock caused the Biden era inflation Spike, and it took 3 years to get better. We have already had similar levels of interruption on both fronts, and there's no reason to believe it will take any less time to get better this time.

I'm wondering if Pam Bondi is going to be able to wriggle her way through her interview tomorrow without getting cornered into invoking her Fifth Amendment right against self incrimination. She is in violation of the Epstein transparency Act after all..

John Kasich is talking but nobody's listening. You worry too much. Telling disaffected Republicans that they are welcome to join carries precisely zero implication that we will moderate our positions in any way to entice them. When we seize power they will get the prog agenda rammed up their butts.

There MUST be a mechanism for bringing this entire abomination under the aegis of judicial review...

That last little uptick is because of the war in Iran. Take that away and we're right at the FED goal of 2%. Any idiot could have, and should have seen that we were on our way there with Uncle Joe, but nooooooo, not fast enough so just shitcan the exercise for lack of patience & lite it all on fire.

Long live The Violent Femmes

Someone remove this angry little rectal polyp in Americas asshole before it turns to cancer. What a horrid little Nazi.

Non College whites and Latinos are the two groups where Trump posted his biggest gains in 2024. All credible polling now shows that the 10 to 15 point swing towards Trump is now a 20 to 30 point swing back towards Dems.

So, we're going to pay nepo-connected Powerus to attempt to develop an inferior version of drone technology that we could have gotten for free from Ukraine, operationalized and ready to go, as partial repayment for all the weapons and support we have given them.

This is "Esprit de Corp" - the boldness of the group. It's a degree of fellowship strong enough to override any reasonable misgivings.

Thanks for including Nebraska in your list of potential flips. Let's all hope for five flips. That will inoculate us against Fetterman getting all pouty.

Everything Donald Trump does or says is the biggest fuck you ever. The troll is the goal.

Nobody ever stipulated to your imminent threat scenario, Shitfuck. Take your "small price to pay" and ram it.

LYING SACK OF SHIT

Sorry Steve-O, but for that line of propaganda to be true it means the government is fraudulently paying out $6,000 apiece for every man woman and child in America every year. Fuck off.

Sorry all you Texans. Time to turn away from beef. I know it's against your religion, but swine is divine. Pro tip- pork only costs about 1/3 of what beef does. I got a 23 Oz marinated pork loin fillet for $7 yesterday.

Screw that entire fiduciary duty construct. The moderately robust tarrif-eating proved it to be fungible when Trump is involved.

After Putin invaded Ukraine in 2022, it took 4 years for oil prices to go back down, despite Biden handling the situation with consummate skill, fighting off multiple attempts to raise the global price of oil and breaking OPEC+ in the process.

If you deliver the punishment up front, there is no longer any incentive whatsoever for your antagonist to not commit the crime that the punishment was meant to deter. As the kids say, "He shot his shot." Fucking douchebag.

Hell to the no on this one. I wonder what kind of restrictions they're going to put on the sailors departing the USS Gerald R Ford after their stay in hell, eating stingy helpings of shit food, sleeping on the steel deck after the laundry room fire, smelling the relentlessly backed-up shitters...

Ossoff has more gravitas and charisma than Beshear or Shapiro.

The Supremes' ruling on section ll of the VRA opened up a semantic pathway to a circular argument regarding the intent of those doing the gerrymandering, but does nothing to obviate the prior findings of the district court. Purcell would be Plan B, and should not be needed.

I wonder what kind of weird quirk has him getting his IVs in the back of his hand instead of his elbow? With a guy who doesn't exercise because he believes each person has only a finite amount of energy to use in their life, nothing is too far-fetched.

I'm hoping that that figure of 40,000 Acres is a typo, because that equates to over 60 square miles, or a square that's 24 miles long on each side.

This.

Okay. Let's see, where were we? That's right! Jane Doe #4 just got punched in the head for biting Trump's dick when he he tried to force her to suck it...

It's important to remember that the first reports of Iran having 60% enriched uranium in their possession came in 2021. That means if they're just weeks away from a weapon now, the same was true back then. If they were so hot to trot, why haven't they snuck a nuke into the US and set it off? Well?

Hey Byron! Do you really think that your Blackness will deter me from criticizing you for fear of being seen as a racist? You're a stupid fucking dildo-ass remora attached to a Great White that's about to have its liver ripped out by a pod of angry orcas.

Should be de rigueur, but we'll go with Holy smokes, for now.

Bravo, Professor.

Michael Weiss deploys "knackered". You go, boy..

Just one of many moments where the ring of truth ('ring' like a bell) makes the heart leap...

The pendulum is making manic swings on a highly compressed time frame these days. Us old people might make it yet..

Despite the fact that almost every segment of the electorate moved towards Trump somewhat, it was the large jump with Latinos and young white men that really made the difference. BUT, polling shows that these 2 groups have shifted BACK TO DEMS BY DOUBLE!

Trump is far more capable of living with the Eternal mockery of his defeat, while calling it a victory, than any of his sycophants- both the opportunists and the true believers.

Goddammit, he's not keeping that plane.

Dude, you're high...

Trump's only way out of the trap he has constructed for himself is to buy his way out. I suppose it's better if he does it with Iran's own money, instead of forking over $25 billion of our funds. Maybe this distinction with no meaningful difference will be a probiotic to help him digest his defeat.

Every single stinking thing that Trump has done since taking office has undermined his stated goals to the maximum degree possible. He is the king of nihilism and self sabotage, the naked emperor, and the reigning world champ of pyrrhic victories.
