Because what's a dictatorship without indoctrination?

At least seven armed and masked ICE/CBP bodyguards because a GS-15 had to take a piss. do you know how much of your taxpayer $ was just standing there waiting for Bovino to find his dick

No no, the problem isn't black pilled young men; the real problem is young women with their aggressive and dark concerns over the environment, bodily autonomy, fairness, and compassion. Oh the horror

Of course he is.

"I know you are but what am I" is basically what's going on here.

It's almost impressive how aggressively stupid she is.

Tapper: "By this standard, would any of these officers be justified in shooting and killing the people causing them physical harm?" Noem: "Every single situation is going to rely on the situation those officers are on." It only gets dumber from there.

Tapper to Noem: "I just showed you video of people attacking law enforcement officers on J6. Trump pardoned them all. You said Trump is enforcing all the laws equally. That's just not true. There's a different standard for LEOs being attacked if they're being attacked by Trump supporters."

He's just straight up rationalizing that it's OK for them to murder people over "hateful rhetoric." "Contempt of cop" is not, in fact, a crime, especially not one that warrants summary execution on the streets.

Saying the officer who committed murder is a murderer is dangerous, but it's OK to claim that his victim was a domestic terrorist who literally ran him over.

Chris Murphy: "I heard Homan say they are taking 'targeted enforcement actions against criminals.' Just not true. The vast majority of people they are rounding up are peaceful immigrants ... they are putting citizens in harm's way."

Noem noticeably more comfortable with her spewing of lies on Fox versus the other shows

The pathetic flopsweat performances of Noem and Homan on the Sunday news shows is a good reminder that when you staff an administration with hateful stupid thugs, they'll handle the "fucking around" part well enough but will be utterly useless when the "finding out" begins.

Chris Murphy: "The amount of training that's given to an ICE officer has been cut in half by this administration. The number of days of training they get are 47. You know why they get 47 days? As an homage to the vanity of POTUS. No wonder the number of violent incidents are going through the roof."

WELKER: Where is that $50,000? Did you keep it? HOMAN: I didn't take $50k from anybody & that's a question for the FBI. Bottom line I did nothing illegal. WELKER: But was there $50k in the bag? HOMAN: I'm not addressing it WELKER: But did you keep the money? HOMAN: $50k is ridiculous

WELKER: Has the president crossed the line of impeachment? CHRIS MURPHY: I have common sense. I know this president has committed 10 times more impeachable offenses in his second term as he did in his first. He's stealing from the American people.

Chris Murphy: "Let's talk about what's at stake here. The president is spending every single day thinking about invading Greenland, managing the Venezuelan economy, building a ballroom. He's not thinking about the American people at all."

Frey: "There is deep mistrust because so many of the things that we are hearing are not true. Obviously people can come to different conclusions, but when there is debate about baseline facts like, for instance, did the ICE agent get run over? Guys, the answer is no. It didn't happen."

This is stunning. Listen to this in Philadelphia. Thousands singing “Hey-Oh, we won’t be silent while our friends are gunned down.” Really listen to it.

Trump continues to make billions from foreign govts and oligarchs with new deals happening around the world every month from people who want a lot from the US government and are getting what they want. And Trump is just getting started obscenely profiting off the presidency.

The only reason you think arguing with Megyn Kelly is more productive than arguing with me is that the two times you've argued with me you've been embarrassed.

They’re opposed to preventative healthcare policy because they believe they’re an intervention in the natural eugenic hierarchy, framing this as an issue of “government overreach” while they’re literally banning healthcare for disfavored groups assists in that effort.

They've already been sued over this and lost, now they're trying different legal bs.

As I mentioned yesterday, they’re trying to get around the limits which in Section 527 of the annual appropriations bill. That bill says it’s limited to funds “made available … by this act.” What this memo says is we are going to deny access, but only using funds from OBBBA (so a different act).

Every time i go to look for something from this guy some obvious bullshit jumps out. No you did not do 26 million interviews. Boasting about machine learning is not an answer to "data". You are running a bullshit factory

Hey, it's a bad sign when a theocracy sees their mosques burning by an angry population, right? Asking for an Ayatollah

Man what the FUCK

If the capitol police reacted on Jan 6 the way ICE did in this encounter there would have been dozens dead

Given my mentions lately, need to point something out: The invention of modern policing was a multipronged process, and slave catching was just one part in one place. The first modern police forces were in the North, and slavery wasn’t their target.

Granted I’m biased but I actually don’t think that looking like a lesbian should justify summary executions.

If only the founders had written down their thoughts on whether or not America should be a "Christian nation" if only

It's fun to say things.

Horrible. Arson attack today at Mississippi’s largest synagogue, on Shabbat, destroyed multiple Torahs and left parts of the building in ruins

They want it formally dead, but NATO is already functionally dead as a geopolitical reality. Even if he backs down (wouldn't bet on it), there's no going back from sending European capitals into a spiraling panic that the US is seriously about to invade one of them. You can't unring that bell.

Prosecutor: *Accurately summarizes the law* Washington Post Editorial Board: That’s a bold claim by the prosecutor!

They are so mad that they have to be likeable now.

WP Editorial Board: "I don't understand why deliberately lying to knowingly perpetrate fraud is considered illegal."

Tonight thinking about this all-time @ndrew.bsky.social banger

There's no coherent argument for invading or buying Greenland, and when Trump tried to say one to NYTimes it came out as gibberish from a condo salesman about the pride of ownership. It's basically the same as declaring war on Germany to "own" Ramstein Air Base. No upside, immense downside.

I have some congresspeople who follow me, so I'll just throw this out there: As a taxpayer, I would actually prefer that you *not* continue to fund the fascist military machine that is being used to kill and kidnap people from our communities.

genuinely fascinating to me that even after an american is executed in the street by the state your instinct is not to condemn and discuss this on its own terms but to use it as fodder for abstraction and discourse policing

'...the macroeconomic data does not support the idea of a structural shift in employment caused by automation. Instead, it points to a more cynical corporate strategy: “We suspect some firms are trying to dress up layoffs as a good news story rather than bad news, such as past over-hiring.”'

But, but, we're liberators. Shouldn't we be greeted with hugs?

Erika Kirk, after achieving GoFundMe goal, closes donations and asks that donations go to other worthy recipients, proving once and for all she's not a grifter. What's that? Oh. Sorry. That was Renee Nicole Good's family.

Elon: "If white people become a minortiy, that which we have done to others will be done onto us"

Who is doing the legal analysis for the Washington Post editorial board and why are they so bad at it? www.washingtonpost.com/opinions/202...

I mean, I think it’s fair give a high travel advisory warning to a country if I’m likely to die if I go there because Donald Trump likes to rape teenagers.

This would be a great question to pose to the White House. If you believe that federal officers can kill individuals who disobey their orders, does that mean you think the Capitol Police should have opened fire on January 6th? Do you think Ashli Babbitt deserved to die and others should have too?

The reactionary centrist logic is simple: if the left does something bad it’s the left’s fault, and if the right does something bad, it’s also the left’s fault for making them do it. It’s a simple formula and once you see it every one of their arguments is the same

I am the exact kind of pedantic nerd that would make this kind of argument if it were true, but I am also old enough to have used these. And yes, we just called them floppies. Almost nobody actually said diskette.
