I now have three Mario 64 paintings!

*sing-songy* mike johnson caaaaannnn'tttt cooooouuuunnnnttttt

They juiced him

If you were (per his words) denied reenlistment because your tattoo that you claimed to have gotten in 2007 violated tattoo regulations, you not only know exactly which order, section, chapter, subchapter, and line it violated - you signed a form saying you understood why. This is just cowardice.

House passes bill to aid Ukraine and impose new sanctions on Russia https://www.wtae.com/article/house-passes-bill-aid-ukraine-impose-russia-sanctions/71500331

from the fucking rafters

As someone who also opposes what Israel’s doing: We do not want to embrace the guy with the Nazi tattoo as a pillar of the movement. If anything, we need to push back on him harder so that we can say that anti-Zionism isn’t antisemitism and have people believe us.

Personally I would not try to make the SS tattoo guy into a martyr for the anti-Israel movement, especially given the number of successful candidates who can make this case and *aren’t* abusive serial liars.

If you want the next big political phenomenon, they have to truly be the first of their name, not a dime-store ripoff of a preexisting brand. And, not to put too fine a point on it, but you know who comes closest for Dems? AOC.

My last Mario 64 painting is done

President Trump just made it extremely clear that: 1) His $1.8 billion slush fund is on hold due to scrutiny, not dead. 2) He really wants it to happen. 3) The money is 100% intended for J6ers.

A Bunny Hop in development at Fast & Furious Hollywood Drift. Seems like the peak is designed so that equipment can pass underneath. A boom lift, for example, needs to inspect both sides of the track and supports as part of regular maintenance.

i'll watch it if they make them do a Wipe-Out course

And, as some people have been at pains to make clear lately, in the most embarrassing ways possible (see: Klippenstein, Ken), this is, yes, all about gender. A cargo cult politics built around the idea that if *we* just got a flagrantly irresponsible macho failson to run, we'd never lose.

I don't know if he'll fall apart just yet, but if and when he does, there'll be a lot of finger pointing with people trying to blame *only* liberals or leftists for this failure, when in reality it was always much more complicated and the need for soul-searching will be widespread.

This is a very preliminary thought, but I think this is the failure mode of the pan-left desire for "a fighter" who is better than the mealy-mouthed Dem establishment. That rage is keenly felt by liberals and leftists alike. Which explains Platner's broad appeal.

people are so hungry for appalachian socialism. and it keeps returning 404 movement not found

Also, just to sidebar this bit: this represents a very long-running tendency in American politics. I'm old enough to remember when the GOP was saying "we need to find the next Reagan." They never did; instead, they found the first Trump.

So to sum up: It's a nothingburger because he doesn't appear to have committed *sexual* assault, just *regular* assault. Oh, and false imprisonment. Oh, and he referred to women as "hatchet wounds." Oh, and that he often fantasized about raping burglars (but "not in a gay way.) What a relief. 🙄

had never seen this one and it's killing me

If Maine Democrats (and unenrolled voters who chose that ballot) who used an Absentee Ballot want to try re-voting in light of today's Platner revelations, call or visit your Town Clerk's Office. Many towns have already begun processing those ballots, but not all. www.maine.gov/sos/election...

Fuck everyone on this website who acted like he couldn't have been lying.

Holy shit.

This is a subtle attack on two bad candidates, of course.

People are dying after release from ICE custody. So they’re going to stop reporting the deaths.

“When you’re doing all of this stuff, hosting sporting events, it’s really outside of the goal of what the government was intended to be because our tax dollars and resources are funding this operation,” professional fighter Bryce Mitchell told reporters. trib.al/d7t21cl

Death to the Pod Save bros, of course

sure american cattle ranching might be decimated (or worse) but at least we stopped BIG GUBMINT from spending $500k a day on some stupid flies

I would point out two things 1. 60% of Maine's electorate is women 2. Susan Collins is a survivor of domestic violence

So we have Platner physically assaulting, bullying and belittling women he's been in relationships with, saying terrifying things about rape and violence and cheating on all of them is this the red line? have we reached it? any one?

Amazing work, everyone. Tremendous moral courage AND political acumen on display. Definitely keep listening to fucking Tommy Vietor.

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

if you are so insecure in your own masculinity that you need a SS-tattoo wearing rape-enthusiast serial liar and cheat to represent it for you, talk it out with your therapist, don't boast about it

lots of guys very much telling us Who They Are right now

TBH this bullshit shows just how many people are desperate for the *real* Dem MAGA down to a sleazy 'aw shucks' racist giving them permission to be their worst selves, because they're chickenshits who need someone to give them that rather than having the backbone for their own BS.

how can this man tell us about what being a man is when he hasn't even cheated on his wife

Ukrainian President Zelenskyy sent an open letter to Putin. It includes some hard facts unpleasant for the Russian dictator. However, he also proposes a direct meeting for ending this war, on neutral soil, e.g. Switzerland, Türkiye or an Arab country.

Ukraine is having the strategic initiative. Putin is getting humiliated again and again. The war has reached Moscow and Saint Petersburg. Putin is under pressure, and even some Russian allies must feel it by now that Russia cannot win.

I simply decline to do the thing where I imply people who aren't on my political team deserve to be raped. You know, the thing Donald Trump is actively doing with the DOJ to his rape victim

I focus on strategy because we already know his boosters were bad people with horrible ethics but man, there are purely cold-blooded reasons not to run or vocally support guys like this

I feel like we’re in for many years of “haha, they were spending taxpayer money on bug condoms—DOGE to the rescue!” turning out to be something important Elon’s Tween Team didn’t understand.

It is funny to consistently claim you’re an expert/biographer for every person in the news. I will give him that. Good bit

This guy always used to do 100+ tweet-long threads dripping with sweat about how Robert Mueller was seconds away from imprisoning Trump. Just an observation
