How DARE they suspend "America's Favorite Christian" ?!!! (and one of the smartest, funniest accounts... EVER)

The Access of Evil

I know it seems as if there is a backlash against sexual freedom and tolerance in America, but this weekend there‘s a very public event where prominent people are going to a party in order to be humiliated and urinated upon. Each to their own!

This is in response to this story, about the Secretary of the Navy resigning, presumably to search for his missing neck

If Republicans can't unilaterally gerrymander to gain control of the federal government, I'm going to become an even bigger federalist.

A great, positive NYC story that I thought I would share:

She's leaving Congress to, uh, spend more time with her family, her ambassadorial dreams are ashes, her career is over, and maybe it's okay to stop asking her stuff

I'm pretty tuned into Democratic politics and I have never in my life heard anyone ever use the phrase "justice involved population." But thank you for now vouching for the existence of that phrase and letting Fox News do a thousand pieces about it.

Pope Fiction The Biblical backlash to Don's Medieval musings and Pete's pulpy pontificating has the president looking like someone turned his Diet Coke into Pepsi. And sending the gimp to Budapest to eat quarter pounders was a political bust. Maybe they should have sent the wolf. by Maureen Dowd

July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.

Provide the social safety so that grandmothers don’t have to take multiple jobs to pay for their husbands cancer treatment

"It's a shame that the Pope has made the Catholic Church political." Do such people have the literal faintest idea of the history of the papacy??

Trump’s Erratic Behavior and Extreme Comments Revive Biden Mental Health Debate

The American president counts Vladimir Putin and Kim Jong-Un as his friends while denouncing the Pope.

Trump was unelectable until the Democrats found a way to nominate two candidates who couldn't beat him

The ultra powerful California Teacher’s Union has revoked its endorsement of Eric Swalwell.

hey do you want to watch a financial expert that is paid a ton of money for that expertise argue that 3.3 is a smaller number than 3.0?

BARTENDER:.Last call... HEGSETH: Excuse me. Why are you so rude? Just wait. So nasty.

It's a good thing the Democrats weren't in power during World War II, I guess.

I am, and it is, and no, they don't

BREAKING: Donald Trump meets privately with Kash Patel and Pete Hegseth to assure them their jobs are secure, amidst swirling rumors that they may be the next cabinet members to be fired. #KashPatel #PeteHegseth

Firing Pam Bondi doesn’t change the sweetheart deal Ghislaine Maxwell got in exchange for saying she never saw Trump doing anything wrong. For all we know, there’s a pardon or a commutation in the works, too. open.substack.com/pub/joycevan...

Raskin: "It doesn't give me a lot of comfort that Todd Blanche is now the acting AG. This is the guy who transferred Ghislaine Maxwell from the higher security prison to the low security prison camp in Texas."

Pete Hegseth is practicing day drinking the right way. by Ezra Klein

/2 It’s important to note that this doesn’t mean @nytimes.com NEVER calls out bigotry or ALWAYS fails to report on it and its significance. But it has become fundamentally unreliable on the subject, prone to charitable euphemism, evasion, and inaccuracy. Sometimes right is not enough.

Early Beatles is really underrated. Hard Day’s Night is a really excellent album. Yes their later stuff is musical genius but painting their early stuff as just pop fluff couldn’t be more wrong.

This is what solidarity looks like. #NoKings

Tiger Woods is using painkillers the right way. by Ezra Klein

It's sad for all Americans that we have to celebrate the 250th anniversary of our great nation with the most corrupt, evil president in our history.

i've got this one: he forgot the words "diego garcia" and the first thing that popped into his head was "ireland" because he'd been briefed on the it being an island in the *indian* ocean. this should not make you feel better about these comments.

it's incredible that as long as you do the right amount of bigotry you can just rob the country blind and enough people will not care, even though those same people will be filled with incandescent rage if someone uses food stamps to buy a 12 pack of diet coke

Think voting doesn’t matter? 766 votes.

They gave us a present, and it arrived today.

Trump is Nero and Caligula rolled into one.

Donald Trump is celebrating Robert Mueller's death the right way. by Ezra Klein

They should tell him they'll open the Strait in two weeks.

It's the weekend, baby

"I didn't think you'd go to the prom with me, I just asked so I could prove that you're terrible and won't go to the prom with me, and I WAS RIGHT"

Iran is shutting down the Strait of Hormuz the right way. by Ezra Klein

Never send a White Zinfandel to do a Cabernet’s job.

"War is peace"

Remember the good ole days when McNamara and Rumsfeld were the worst SecDefs of all time?

I really don’t care…

Donny Can You Hear Me? Trump is more Tommy Tuberville than Tommy the Pinball Wizard, and when told of the Strait of Hormuz, he probably said the Who? The bad man behind red lies produced a new boss of Iran—same as the old boss. I'd say we won't get fooled again, but sadly we will. by Maureen Dowd

Pretti Pretti Pretti Good Curb your enthusiasm for any change from Trump. While he plays Palestinian Chicken with Bibi—and black swan-eating RFK Jr. gets a pants tent for Cheryl Hines—he's shown Alex Pretti and Rene Good less respect in death than Larry showed Ida Funkhouser. by Maureen Dowd

When asked to comment on the Iran War, Speaker Mike Johnson declined, saying this was the first he was hearing about it.

New in PN: The worst cabinet in history "Even having one or two cabinet members as disastrous as Noem, Hegseth, Kennedy, or Bondi would be a stain on any administration; putting them all in one govt has created a kind of Bizarro World 1927 Yankees, an all-star team of incompetence and malevolence."
