"The tulip doomsayers are warning of a bubble, but that doesn't seem to matter to people buying tulips." Which is to say, this is definitionally true.

Agreed, But the thing is, courage requires an ongoing commitment, while cowardice only takes a second. So let's see how long they remain steadfast.

Stephen Miller tells Trump it's time to send troops to Portland.

America's war on Venezualian fishermen escalates. WaPo's credulous reporting continues. When the truth comes out, neither will even pause to reflect.

That's absurd. Her photo should be in the dictionary next to "conservative peer." She is the apotheosis of "conservative peer."

When someone tells you you're not funny any more, that is NOT an attack on your free speech.

Maybe just start blowing up American fishing vessels and then making up some crap about how they were really arms shipments.

Who told you "they were going to do everything they could for the American workers"? Because every credible source I know of told you the exact opposite.

Democrats can't control what Trump does. They can only control what they do. Do they collaborate with the Trump regime, or do they resist? That's the only choice.

Does Tyler Cowen even realize that this is a whole article about how he finds real women icky and they make him feel uncomfortable?

I sincerely hope the price of getting Democratic votes is going up every day the shutdown drags on. Tbh, it should really include Trump going down on his knees in the middle of the White House lawn and begging a sombrero-clad Hakeen Jeffres to make it stop.

"Testi-lying" -- from crafting a story to omit anything messy to outright fabrication -- is so much part of the US law enforcement culture that any juror should discount anything a cop says under oath.

If it happened today the Post's headline would read: "Some Democrats claim hacking reporter to death violates press freedoms"

His absolute masterpiece, "The Thing" is not included. But "Assault on Precinct 13" is a brilliant movie that ratchets up the tension to almost unbelievable levels. And "They Live" is one of the best schlocky B-movies ever made.

"giant eyes to warn off predators" If this is the case, shouldn't we insist that people cover their actual eyes?

Only if you let Americans change English Ss back to the original Zs.

Literally every single journalist who reported this knew that Project 2025 and the Trump campaign were 100% aligned. None of them feel ridiculous, because their lie helped get Trump elected, and that was their sole motivation.

WaPo finds its own disinformation campaign is not working. Sad.

Ashamed to say I voted for these people. The lesser of two evils is still evil. Will never make that mistake again.

For one brief second, I thought the headline was referring to Mamdani. But he's the wrong kind of "religious" I guess.

Strange thing for the gutter press to be complaining about, tbh

If I went about my office, constantly boasting that I was capable of walking down stairs if I did it carefully and slowly, and waiting for pople to applaud my accomplishment, I don't think I would be allowed to hold a position of any authority for more than 10 minutes.

Freak out seems a little strong, but I'm sure they are taken aback: how many of them have had the chance to visit an late 19th century New Orleans bordello?

Increase the wishlish by $500 billion every day Trump refuses to negotiate. That's how you negotiate with a crazy person.

"So one day we might be saying, ‘Hey, you know, the president has a good point about Bagram... At the other time, we might praise Democrats who are standing up to Mamdani." So you'll pushing both parties to be as right-wing as possible? Cool story, bro.

I doubt whether any of them (the Times, the Post, the networks, CNN) even thinks about the public interest as a consideration. They are businesses. Their obligation is to serve their shareholders. It's the law. Corporate media is an oxymoron.

As far as I can see, the kindness of others (Pascal, Watson, etc) only serves to enrage them.

Democrats preparing to undermine the only significant thing they have done for working people since LBJ.

i think the issue is that Klein believes morality, principles, and values are all political liabilities, and that Democrats must abandon those things in order to find common ground with people who have no morality, principles, and values.

There is no planet on which Jeffries' endorsement helps Mamdami. But in the real world, Jeffries' passivity renders the Democratc Party weak and irrelevant. I don't want him to bend the knee, I want his to get out of the way.

Show me one survey that suggests passivity is a winning political strategy. Not some mealy-mouthed Ezra Klein shit, but actual objective evidence that what voters want is a party that rolls over and plays dead rarher than fighting for what it believes in.

We are holding our annual indusry conference in Chicago in November. We moved it to Chicago because our old host city (Washington DC) is full of armed troops and ICE thugs and people attending from Europe and the rest of the world were terrified of what might happen to them there.

This was golf, a "sport" only slightly more intense than competitive mold-growing. I would suggest that this does not bode well for the World Cup taking place in Trump's America.

Personally, I would have waited until I was out of the country and beyond the reach of ICE...

This is what happens when you lower your admission standards to Dean Cain levels of fitness. But that fact that ICE is objectively at Keystone Kops levels of ineptitude can't blind us to the fact that these are despicable individuals inflicting massive harm on American society.

"This is a new experience where ChatGPT can proactively deliver personalized daily updates." For all those people who wish Siri would just start yapping at them every morning, telling them things they didn't want to know about even if they were real.

I had never heard of this med bed craziness (now endorsed by our president, because of course it is) and my first reaction was that it's hilariously stupid. But tragically, there are people who believe it, who pin their hops on it, and who send money to the perpetrators. And that's heartbreaking.

On what planet does this even qualify as "a thought"? Please just get out of the way....

As Orwell knows, we have always been at wat with Portland, Ore.

There's one thing we're not talking about enough: Nobody does this kind of stuff (ICE, Comey, Portland, etc) if they think they might one day lose power and be held accountable. Trump and Miller do not expect America to be a democracy again. They can't afford for America to be a democracy again.

I would be open to discussing this as a solution to Tom Homan and other white collar crooks, tbh

does it though?

If they had a right-wing, “tough-on-crime” coded mayor, crime would be through the roof. Because right-wing approach to crime DO NOT WORK.

Also, if you step on a crack in the pavement throw salt over your right shoulder NEVER THE LEFT And if you walk under a ladder, spin around THREE TIMES and say "WHITE RABBITS" out loud. Thank you for your attention to this nonsense.

Sarcastic as far as fans are concerned. Some of my best freidns root for the Dodgers, But I don't think this kind of non-competitive division is particularly healthy and certainly not much fun for neutrals. (Or, presumably, for Rockies/Dbacks fans)

No wonder Dodgers fans always seem completely disinterested in their own team. This must be borning as fuck.

Goes without saying, but they would never have dared to try this when Biden was president.

Do you mean the immigrant detainee shooting? Because I don't believe any ICE were shot.

So India was never "fighting to win" when it threw the British out because India had no "theory of victory" because it didn't want to govern London? Replace India with every single former colony that gained independence. They ALL won their wars. Worst alternate history take ever.

If it was a "negotiating tactic" telling them its a negotiating tactic renders it useless (obviously). Which suggests that it is more an attempt to manipulate the media and the public into beliving that Trump has a backbone and this leak is a stage whisper to tell Putin not to worry.
