Right @crunchyfishtaco.bsky.social?

Recently, the right has been very successful in nutpicking the right extremes and claiming that they represent the D party. May not work this time, but it has in the past. Ignoring this would be electoral malpractice in the part of the party.

Re: Platner Anyhoo, Jay has a short memory. Platner- Nazi tattoo, drunk, assault allegations Hegseth- Nazi tattoo, drunk, assault allegations Strong argument that Graham would be good as SecWar. /s

Too soon, Phil. Too soon.

The best part is that Trump is functionally an atheist who grabbed on to religion as part of his grift.

Plastic Bertrand’s “Ça plane pour moi.” Or Mono No Aware’s “Kamukamo-Shikamo-Nidomokamo.” (The version by Haku is super-dope)

No cheating, the last saved celebrity is your therapist

Message to the GOP- If you really want to stop socialism and communism in the US, a good first step would be to hold white collar criminals accountable and start cracking down on corruption. And this includes the corruption of POTUS and SCOTUS.

Jesus… The billionaire support newspaper has thoughts…

Jaylen Brown for Paul George??? Did Craig Breslow replace Brad Stevens?

Also, the admin tried to change the meaning of a constitutional amendment by executive order. That alone deserved the biggest smack-down possible, which is what we got.

My firm belief is that when an editorial board takes a position 180 degrees from prior positions, it should be required that they explain the change. Also applies to the campaign finance decision from yesterday. Otherwise, we can assume hackery.

Linguists and libraries… Describes my household

Might be? I remember that pathetic video he made after the “grab them by the…” tape was released. He even made a grumpy declaring he couldn’t support Trump. Then he became Miller’s most loyal Senator. At least with Graham we know that Lindsey really likes bombing the shit out of people.

So yeah… Flew to DFW for tonight’s RUSH concert and Geddy’s come down with laryngitis. Postponed until July 11. Have to fly back to Honolulu on July 5. Guess my streak of not seeing RUSH is extended.

BREAKiNG: SCOTUS narrowly rules that you can’t change the meaning of the constitution via Nosferatu’s executive order. Good!

I could be wrong, but it seems that a lot of this being driven by the fact that the worst person to ever serve as president is the one defining patriotism. The banners, the UFC match, the passport… It’s just all so unAmerican and I think that a lot of people get it.

It is incredible to me that no major media outlet is asking how this will be funded. Tariffs? Cuts to other programs? Tax increases? Absolutely bizarre.

Replaying all of the hits. Never mind that his approvals started tanking when he sent CANG to Los Angeles.

Oh… President Troll doesn’t like it when he’s being trolled.

Gotta be honest, you’re gonna get the stink eye if you’re out there promoting race based pogroms in Belfast. Kinda surprised he didn’t understand that.

The media should start reminding people that these sorts of negotiations take months, if not years. One of the many reasons to not undo what prior admins already did- the terms are always the same or worse. A very good chance that this is not resolved before the ‘28 elections.

Maybe Anthropic had a point…

The GOP primary in ‘12 was far more damaging to Romney than anything the Obama campaign came up with. Anyhow, “palling around with terrorists”, secret Muslim, not born in the US, were all part of the campaign against O. Plus, ask the GOP about its ORCA GOTV cock-up. Had nothing to do with Obama.

At least this time they released these excerpts while he’s in office. Still, somewhat troubling that these abuses of power don’t come to light until a book is about to be published.

Since Major Pete won’t resign, seems to me that the GOP ought to be calling for the resignation of the Secretary of Lethality.

I don’t like Vance at all and pray that he’s never elected president. BUT… These terms were negotiated by Witkoff and Kushner. Trump’s the guy who thinks that diplomacy is the same as a real estate deal. So no, it’s not only on Vance. It’s on Trump and the entire clown troupe.

Between this and the DoW stuff, how much money is gonna be wasted on signage and letterhead???

Definitely smack Barro around, but Reed Epstein, the reporter QT’d by Barro, also knows this.

Started reading, or re-reading, a collection of Lovecraft short stories to kick off the Hawai’i State Library’s summer reading program. It’s been a while since I’ve truly read anything for kicks.

Musk’s wealth isn’t necessarily the issue. It’s more that he’s actively trying to destroy the US government and what it’s supposed to stand for or do.

Gotta be honest, threatening to use a nuke if Iran doesn’t give up their nuke ambitions seems to be an incentive for them to keep working on the project.

By the way, Steely Dan is NOT yacht rock. Go ask Donald Fagen.

Insanity. This is what I get for talking shit about the Knicks. Incredible.

JVJCPOA

Edit and run ads with just this 24-7. Fair is fair.

It is still mind-boggling how much ink has been spilled telling us that MAGA loves Trump. I saw the media defend its approach on Biden vs Trump by saying that Trump’s supporters weren’t movable, but Biden’s were, so we’re focusing on Biden’s problems instead. It’s lazy and damaging to the country

As I ponder Major Pete’s weird and obnoxious comments about Europe and migration, it’s pretty important to remember that it’s partly, if not mainly, due to destabilization in the Middle East and Asia caused by, wait for it… American wars!!!

One of the reasons I always cringe when I hear someone proclaim that Israel is our greatest ally is because we know that they spy on the US. Always have.

Um, this is a very broad interpretation of employee misconduct. I’m not sure that I’ve ever seen a termination “for cause” based on a heated meeting. Could be wrong, but this seems a stretch.

Maybe I’m alone, but Trump pretending that this test is the same as an IQ test just offensive. My mom failed the test, has dementia and is now in a facility. She’s a brilliant person who played piano brilliantly. It’s the President she supported calling her stupid, though. I’m pissed.

Yeah…

He could maybe get away with thinking this if his administration had done the bare minimum in explaining to the American people what this war was about. He couldn’t even do that. So no, people aren’t willing to pay a bit more. Especially when his day one promise was to lower prices.

Not the main point, but the GOP’s entire argument against campaign finance reform in the 90s was that disclosure was all that was needed. The point was waved away completely after Citizens United. Now disclosure is opposed because of a trumped up concern over doxxing.

A fan of UT football? Called it.

As I said… Anyhow, no officer in command that I know of has ever publicly uttered these words. DO NOT PROMOTE AHEAD OF PEERS

So much whining… And this turns his supporters on???
