On Thanksgiving, the immigrant children held at the Dilley detention center gathered in the gym for what they thought was a holiday feast. The kids salivated over a spread of turkey, sandwiches, pastries and pies, a family told me. But the food wasn’t for detainees — it was for the staff.

“Democrats are the normal people in America. Republicans are the out-of-touch, beyond-the-pale extremists.” @stevemnomoremister.bsky.social nomoremister.blogspot.com/2026/02/once...

"They [MAGAS/Republicans] are not normal Americans. People who are dissatisfied with Donald Trump's presidency are normal Americans. Our political culture needs to wake up to this fact." *This is the most important political insight of 2026*

Same.

Dreher is running the same grift that Bannon profits from; the only difference is that he sincerely believes in demons. Being sincere instead of cynical buys him good press but results in the same damage.

I even read one of his books to do better informed mocking.

"Is he presenting the planks of a larger platform that he can run on for president? Or is he headfaking a run to build buzz and draw interest to his ideas...?" We know he's running. Stop insulting our intelligence by pretending there's some mystery. www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Yet another poll in which two-thirds of independents (or more) agree with nearly all Democrats on multiple issues. apnorc.org/projects/a-m... Republicans aren't normative Americans. They're the outliers. They're the weirdos and oddballs.

Imagine reading Dreher for non-comedic reasons!

Trump nominated a legit white nationalist to a top post at the State Department. I asked him some basic questions about his belief in the “erasure of white culture”. Watch this embarrassing, fumbling answer. Like he has never before been asked to explain his views.

They confuse "giving good quote" with honesty and transparency.

Showing up for that Melania movie party sure paid off, hunh?

In El Paso, Trump's Cowboys Want to Create an Airborne Minneapolis (new post) nomoremister.blogspot.com/2026/02/in-e...

The comments below by Ben Collins ("Tim Onion") are smarter than this.

I find this argument to be a stretch only because I have yet to see it come close to matching the boosters’ promises. Is it possible? Sure, but so was the “everything will be on the blockchain” hype of a few years ago.

Californians need to know that a "Democrat" running for governor is basically a tool of the worst tech barons. Gil Duran explains.

Every photo from Minneapolis looks like this. Cops decked out with guns and full tac gear facing off against people in bathrobes, parkas, and sweatpants armed only with whistles and cell phones. Yet every verified MAGA chode on X dutifully calls it a riot or violent insurrection.

I recently watched the New Yorker documentary and we have Roz Chast, so I guess it evens out.

I'm sad to learn from that Nadler clip that Pam Bondi is left-handed. Well, the law of average say some of us have to be horrible people.

So the consultants who say they're telling Dems how to win have made them into a party no one wants to donate to - and they might lose elections as a result. If I didn't know better, I'd say the consultants *want* them to keep losing (and looking to them for advice). Political Munchausen by proxy.

I gave her money before seeing this. I probably should double my contribution. www.axios.com/2026/02/11/a...

A Mexico invasion will give Trump a poll bump, but Trump doesn't do follow-through on any of his military attacks, so we'll probably forget this happened long before the midterms.

I Think We're About to Invade Mexico (new post) nomoremister.blogspot.com/2026/02/i-th...

Regarding the airport shutdowns, I assume we're about to attack Mexico. This is from November. www.nbcnews.com/politics/nat...

It's actually a good thing that Musk cozied up to Trump, because otherwise I think the regime would have banned electric cars.

They're eventually going to make solar and wind power illegal, aren't they?

I think they should just put it back every day--put a new one up each day--and let them take it down every night. Will show how completely obsessed they are. Also, just ring the park, on city property with a hundred massive flags. equality.house.gov/media-center...

Wow, this is embarrassing - the GOP candidate for governor of New York announced his running mate and the running mate said no. nypost.com/2026/02/09/u...

In Philadelphia, ICE will share office space with a DMV. A proposed ICE office in Portland, Maine is within walking distance of 8 places of worship. Today WIRED is publishing the locations of dozens of planned ICE offices across the US, part of a major expansion. from @leahfeiger.bsky.social

This disgusting Islamophobic ad is being run by the "good" Republican in the Texas Senate race, John Cornyn. www.youtube.com/watch?v=xZSe...

My response is "Get a life."

so is it a common experience that the same dudes who were super into crypto like 7 years ago are the same dudes that are super into ai hype now? is it just the same group of guys getting scammed over and over while they lecture us normies about how we are missing out because we are stupid?

I don't want to be that guy, but Obama was president throughout 2016, and he was born in 1961. Still, that's the year we first elected Trump, who was born in 1946.

It's staggering how this political eunuch has not just done nothing at all as Speaker of the House, but has actually worked to prevent his colleagues from doing anything at all as well. For all the right's fetishization of "originalism," this is a development that would've made the founders weep

Thomas Massie is cooking right now and explicitly states that UAE Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem was sending torture videos to Epstein
