okay, I don’t have concrete numbers in front of me to prove it, but: I don’t think the ICE recruitment commercials targeting blue state and city police officers will work that well. why would a cop with a good salary and killer job protection give that up for a few years of a federal rodeo?

Hookup tips from over at the other place.

the fact that in multiple cases the Supreme Court has worked to legalize bribery in the United States is a major corrosion of our civil order

stephen miller fascinates me on a technical level because you have to admit it's somewhat unusual for a jewish person to be such an open and unapologetic nazi, in a very white, very gentile way. at least radical zionism has an explicitly /jewish/ affect to its fascism, but not so with miller

Check out the chyron -- they are shilling their merch store during a funeral. The sheer vulgarity of these petty-hucksters-gone-big is wild to me. Government by fashy used car salesmen, I swear to God. It will never ever not be fundamentally strange to me that their own base find this appealing.

my question for ahmari: the federal reserve is subject to democratic control — congress can, whenever it chooses, alter the terms of fed independence. how and why is the unilateral authority of the president, exercised outside of rule if law, more democratic than congress’s legitimate authority?

A fourth boat bombed in international waters. Total death toll now 19 What I dont get is, if these boats are "carrying fentanyl" as Trump says (they absolutely arent. Even the DEA says VZ doesnt produce fentanyl), then why not seize one and show us? www.miamiherald.com/news/nation-...

something fascinating is watching COMPACT and Free Press editors + writers increasingly horrified at the trajectory of Tucker and the contemporary right

periodically I see the president doing things like “post crimes for his attorney general to do that were maybe supposed to be an unencrypted DM on his own personal social network” and I remember that he got elected in large part because of information security practices and I black out in rage

The presidential historian the NYT quotes as an authority can’t correctly recall what happened five years ago.

The A-10 is the key to the defense of Taiwan, it's the key to all of this

JUSTINIAN, to Belisarius: "You're still trying to replace the province of Italia. I told you we can't do it. But we can rebuild it in the aggregate."

Wow. Finally, someone answered the question of what the Gettysburg Address would have been like if everyone involved had lead poisoning.

I remember Lincoln was more or less a self-taught autodidact when it came to strategy and genuinely could be ranked alongside some of them in terms of his strategy: www.smithsonianmag.com/history/linc...

There's no more fitting tribute to Charlie Kirk than the one they're giving him right now: nominally Christian survivors on the same grift clambering over one another for more publicity, capped by the shambling, lurching embodiment of everything they long to be. You couldn't write anything meaner

Can someone please explain to me Hegseth's obsession with shaving? DND in Canada released BEARDFORGEN a couple of years ago and AFAIK no one on the right or left is mad. So why is it political in the US?

One thing that strikes me is that, for its proponents, the A-10 truly is all things to all people. For this man, the A-10 is the Anti-Woke Plane That is why the A-10 will be renewed in 2773, after ways and means hears testimony about how it was instrumental in pacifying Zeta Reticuli IV

Because AirPower is feminine, real men attack without air based fires

This is woke

Metroidvanias are either Protestant or Catholic. Castlevania? Catholic, of course. Metroid? Protestant. Blasphemous is Catholic. Dead Cells, Protestant. Hollow Knight is Protestant, but Hollow Knight: Silksong is Catholic. That's why people are complaining the game is hard. Cause it's Catholic now.

god it would be so funny if It Happened at Kirk's funeral like can you imagine

Tom Homan, listen, I got a guy who can take that $50,000, turn it into $50. Interested?

Even if you take the most lenient possible interpretation -- that SCOTUS has made it increasingly hard to prosecute bribery and corruption -- you still have to ask what kind of crooked-ass administration hires a guy who just took $50k cash.

Dear gestapo trash:

I need you to start hating Republicans like I do actually.
