WaPo's writing this as "plz Mr. President we luv u, this is a mistake" instead of how they should be presenting it, which is yet more proof the President is non compos mentis and surrounded by brainless sycophants, hence them all leaping headfirst into an obvious mistake.

No matter what happens, we’re not going to look back and say we wish mocked this sentient blackhead less.

Challenging Trump...to go further?

If ever there was a time not to normalize Trump’s authoritarian fever dreams, this is it. This should be impeachable. ‘War ravaged’ Portland? He’s insane - & insanely power hungry. The script is set - call an imaginary group a terror group and then send in the troops.

begging democrats to fight right now like portland is as important as jimmy kimmel

the president just said the military should start shooting american civilians if they want to

Clear grounds for removing Trump from office. He’s sending America’s military against a domestic terror organization that does not exist fighting a war that is not happening. He’s gone completely and dangerously mad.

I don't think you need complex political triangulation when the president is shrieking "I am sending in the WAR DEPARTMENT because Portland is AT WAR!" You should just keep saying that he should be removed from office because he is plainly insane

you probably need to be of a certain vintage to understand the absolute hilarity of ken starr being in the epstein files

Here are two of the most influential people in liberal media, David Remnick and Ezra Klein, telling each other outright lies about what the 2016 Democratic presidential candidate said because years of exposure to conservative grievance media pounded the original facts of the case out of their skulls

[at my second rodeo] listen up you ignorant sack of shit

The harsh reality is that he did run on going after his enemies. He also ran on inflationary tariffs and pardoning January 6 insurrectionists. He ran on killing green energy. He didn’t even pretend he was gonna unite the country as he called Democrats evil and scum. And he won the popular vote.

We are so humiliatingly deep into tinpot dictatorship territory. The government has just brokered the coerced sale of a major media platform to an ally of the president, who is openly boasting about converting it into (even more of) a partisan propaganda outlet.

Criticizing the enlightened centrist isn’t kicking them out of the so-called tent, it is presenting them with an opportunity to stop eroding the integrity of the tent by tirelessly trying to find commonality with people who want to burn the tent down.

the political policy cure for “male loneliness” is - more time to hang with the fellas (4 day work week) - more money to spend with the fellas (higher wages) - more things to do with the fellas (taxing the rich and building 3rd spaces)

Solidarity is … often a drag. Exhibit MMCXVII.

This was meant as an attack on me, but their assertion that people hear “racists who are spewing conspiracy theories that keep motivating white supremacists to massacre our fellow citizens” and think, “well, that must be Charlie Kirk” is quite an own goal. Anyway, good luck with the grift!

Lindsey Graham, like Marco Rubio and JD Vance, knows exactly what he’s doing and is very deliberately choosing to support the dictatorship of a man he knows is among the worst people alive in the pursuit of personal power no hell hot enough

Incredible start here. We all saw Kavanaugh's hearings where *he* played the victim, red-faced and screaming and spitting and promising revenge! And none of this has anything to do with academia. Go talk to some students! None will say their professors are too soft and treating them like victims!

Just a steadfast refusal to make a basic factual statement

“.. I absolutely couldn’t care less what he [Trump] thinks about me … He’s the living personification of what the 25th Amendment and impeachment were for. If Congress had any guts, he’d be consigned to the trash heap of history.” @time.com time.com/7319963/bruc...

John Thune voted to confirm RFK Jr. He knew RFK Jr. had these types of beliefs. He knew that Donald Trump had spent years talking about the debunked link between vaccines and autism and he endorsed Trump anyway.

Weirdly, she didn't seem concerned about the guy who sprayed the CDC with 500 rounds and killed the police officer there. We know the motive was right wing anti-vax conspiracy theories. But whatever.

if you dont stop calling us nazis we will have the secret police disappear you to a slave labor camp

Semi-regular reminder that a sane country would have already impeached and removed. But then again a sane country wouldn’t have elected a maniac criminal twice in the first place.

“My ‘The 90s in Palm Beach were a different time!’ t-shirt is raising a lot of questions about my extensive, decades-long relationship with a prolific pedophile and sex-trafficker who considered me his best friend. But these questions should have already been answered by my shirt!”

Government censorship that fails due to widespread public objection is still government censorship. Much like a coup attempt is still a coup attempt even if the people behind the coup attempt were mostly winging it, caused haphazard violence, and failed to overthrow the government like they wanted.

I hate this sort of stupid fucking framing from political news media. Its not a "simmering feud" its Trump being a piece of shit & the people he's attacking stating clearly that he is what he is. This is the sort of headline you write when this is all just a big game that you think is fun to watch.

everyone else in the admin over the last couple days: what are you talking about, there was no attempted government censorship, stop fearmongering trump: I’m gonna sue them for putting kimmel back on the air

Could someone go and explain to Politico that this post assumes things they can't know: • What Trump feels • What his motivations are • That they are fundamentally altruistic and honorable And at no point does it make it clear that they are completely unmoored from evidence of *any* kind.

“he just cares too much, except with regard to the well being of women… and well of anyone who isn’t him really”

The Supreme Court could say the president’s allegedly illegal actions must be put on hold while the Court reviews it. Instead, they repeatedly say Trump’s abuses must be allowed to go forward while in dispute. That’s entirely a choice. There’s no basis in law. Made the opposite call with Biden.

I have no idea how law students are supposed take seriously anything they learn in constitutional law when the Supreme Court's entire approach to precedent and stare decisis is just "does Mister Trump want us to overturn it right now" ballsandstrikes.org/scotus/trump...

LOOOOOOOL

it's obviously the most basic form of media criticism at this point but it's so fucking stupid that the news puts this stupid fucking bullshit on live tv jesus god

(anytime someone calls me on my phone, a device i voluntarily bought for this specific purpose) SON of a bitch,

I get why people respond to the “legal arguments” for the unitary executive. But since the real theory is obviously “a president I agree with should be above the law, a president I disagree with is even more restricted than the law says,” the “legal” discussion takes place inside a surreal fiction.

It's particularly the case among the Americans who are paid to decide which news is important, and who despite everything still can't bring themselves to accurately describe the fact that the president is serially murdering people and our systems are unable to stop him

In reality, despite the manner of his death, Kirk was a hate monger, an absolutely vicious misogynist, and a conspirator against American democracy. Let’s not sell tickets to his “spiritual journey.”

What are the names of the U.S. Navy officers carrying out these orders to serially bomb civilian boats that pose no threat to their own vessels, killing everyone aboard? Surely they’ll want to take personal credit for this honorable service and perhaps wear a little campaign medal on their chest.

Trump's claim that Kirk didn't "hate" anyone made me laugh. Hate is what fuels all of them.

I am far from the first to point it out but, man, Jesus would absolutely *hate* these fuckers.

i think one thing people have a hard time grasping is that the central figures of the trump administration are not bad as in "the worst republican blowhard you know," but bad as in "the worst people you have ever heard of." donald trump is a serial rapist whose best friend was a pedophile.

It’s going to happen someday and people are going to celebrate and anybody who wants to scold that celebration had best be prepared to fight.

Twitter and Facebook are not the federal government. They had long been biased in Trump’s favor, not against him, letting many previous TOS violations slide. And Trump was president at the time, not Biden. But it’s still the “look what you made me do” for this wave of state-driven censorship.

Charlie Kirk was not a "civil rights" activist, he was a neo-Nazi.
