Slightly increase a band: Four Camel Night.

"But, but, tariffs are paid by the furrin countries!!!"

We need 38 states to amend the Constitution.

“The enemy of my enemy is my enemy’s enemy. No more, no less.”

Fintech is entirely just discovering appalling ways to lock people into more usury. There is no offramp for the complete financial disaster that was inevitable after nothing changed in 2008.

I have a concept of a plan to get that to you in 2 weeks

This one is better

"Some say his politics are right-leaning with a bent towards white nationalism. Others are not so sure. The truth is more complicated as we found out in Maine."

All Jonathan Karl has to do is show his phone log. If TACO 45 did not call him, then someone is impersonating him, and Kash Patel should be looking into it. Right?

In which Lisa Murkowski reiterates her support for the Iran war.

Seems to be implying that the illegal war he started in the Middle East is where things went wrong. That ignores the majority of Trump's involvement in politics for the past decade. The illegal war is a culmination of ten years of doing illegal and unconscionable shit and getting away with it.

Riddle me this: why do Blueskyers often and regularly call for the boycott of Amazon (because of Bezos) but remain huge fans of WWE (despite Linda McMahon)? Or even Apple (despite Tim Apple)?

He's too lazy to even read them. Trump isn't a details-guy, he's a rape children, and steal from cancer-charities kinda guy.

#SFFChat Intro: Check my bio, if you care. (You shouldn't) My final meal? The liver of the most powerful Republican, with spicy fava beans and a bottle of Merlot.

These shitheads still haven't made up the kind of narrative yet that they can rile the right up with while running it into the ground!

On Bluesky--ostensibly, a left leaning platform--I hear calls to boycott businesses owned by Bezos, Musk, Thiel, ... because they all helped get TACO 45 elected. Do not hear that much about boycotting Apple, even though Tim Cook did the same. Even less about boycotting WWE, despite LINDA MCMAHON!

I chopped up the dogs and made the sheriff gag on the pieces.

"what are Democrats supposed to do, just roll over and let it happen?" Yes, that is exactly what they want us to do. We should stop pretending that MAGA are just different folks with different opinions and recognize just who and what they truly are. I'm not having it. "Fuck off", indeed.

New tone just dropped

Just a thought: people who ask for refrain until all the details are available related to a shooting, should not simultaneously exclaim “Political violence is never the answer.”

A casino, where every $100 tossed into a slot machine would get you a shot of Zafiro Añejo

Tell me again, how attending the Führer's celebration over a conquered group of access journalists is shittier than some random people on social media say about them. I double dare you. There have been 130+ mass shootings this year with fatalities. Maybe one post in remembrance?

Using the Epstein Files as a distraction from the Iran War wasn't working. Maybe the Epstein Ballroom will.

Hear me out, but James Marsden as the next Indiana Jones would be a casting coup for any up and coming casting director.

@mitchellepner.bsky.social Maybe KAT needs to miss a couple of easy plays and get embarrassed. Because it just happened in G4-Q2. Then, he started playing possessed. The KAT NYK needs. Not the disconnected, deferential version until then.

...and a flamethrower.

I did not know who Hasan Piker was until a few weeks ago. Since then I have learned that he is some podcaster/streamer who says shitty things that is typically the domain of rightwingers, but is a leftist or liberal or something. I don't care to know more about Hasan Piker. Am I judging harshly?

The Inaugural Annual Access Journalism Conference. Jake Tapper to present TACO 45 with a surprise award.

Ohh this could almost get the ADL to mutter some sort of vague statement of frowny face.

Nothing, he was always this way. Some of his admirers started discovering this over the last 5-7 years. Of that group, Orin Kerr still stands tall.

We live in a colossally stupid timeline This isn't even the 1984 dystopia of a terrifying totalitarian state telling us that 2+2=5 This is an Idiocracy dystopia in which a garbage pollster asks, "Well I dunno, you guys! Does 2+2=5, or 4? What do *you* think?"

It takes less than a day for a Republican judge to declare a redistricting illegal. How long does it take to get a stay? Time's a tickin', and soon it will be too late to redistrict for these elections.

#Texas ranks 49 in Personal Freedoms. Tax laws are built so the poorest pay the most taxes at 13% while the richest texans pay 3.1%. Abbott handed SpaceX a $17.3 million grant specifically for their Bastrop facility. This is taxpayer money going to a billionaire to build private infrastructure.

Remember the hissy fits from Free Speech stalwarts when the asshole was jeered for 3-5 minutes by college students, where he was an invited speaker? They seem to be maintaining funeral silence at this egregious theocratic ruling.

over at the newsletter I wrote about the White House Correspondents Association dinner, and the pitiful complicity of our broken brunchlord access press

Incisive. Required reading.

Good question.

VA redistricting live results:

Swing a sledgehammer at a statue gets you 30 days? What does sexual assault of a Palestinian detainee get you?

After this much fuckery, TACO 45 still is at 37% approval. When Biden left office, he was lower than this! Half of America is absolutely vile; that is the problem. They elect fucks like TACO 45, and too many stand with him.

Odd way to phrase "Iran refused to attend because of preconditions set by the US."

Wonder if some consumer watchdog will sue Amazon and Apple demanding a refund on behalf of consumers.

Magyar played it well. Warned Netanyahu so that Hungary doesn't invoke the wrath of TACO 45 by arresting him.

Yes, but Djokovic is greater.

Wonder if the ADL and AIPAC will—at the very fucking least—make grumbling noises. No. No they won't.

Maybe another time, you can get kids to say "Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV”

Politico is using a poll to decide whether TACO 45's claim of having won the war against Iran is accurate. Journalism Extraordinaire!
