It really is noteworthy that for a lot of these chumps they wanted 2015 but got served 1933

Granted, I don’t follow Ezra Klein closely, but it seems like he never revisited any of the assumptions he was making when he participated in the attempted martyrdom of Charlie Kirk. He never thought to himself “gee, I wonder why this opinion didn’t go over well, maybe I was wrong about things”

The media just seems to keep doing stuff that goes according to that original script — Trump 2.0 is chill, good economy, pussyhat types given up — no matter what actually happens and no matter how often it fails.

Like, I get that the point of Bari Weiss is to make CBS news maga-friendly or die trying, but she keeps seeming **genuinely surprised** that it’s not going well in a business or reputation sense.

Trump 2.0 has been marked by an increasingly wide and obvious gulf between media elites and the general American public, which the elites themselves seem oddly confused about.

“The wealthy cultural elite who run the media really, really wanted Trump to win” was a much better way to explain what happened in 2024. And the things we’re learning from the Epstein Files give some pretty solid evidence as to both how and why. The anti MeToo backlash was EXTREMELY important.

This pathetic clown - and his supporters - need to ridiculed at every step, all the time (alongside everything else we need to be doing to save a world aspiring toward freedom and peace for all). The Arsonist Wants Applause open.substack.com/pub/marygedd...

They should throw it right back in his face “who do you work for Mr trump?”

When Trump blows off a reporter's question and asks rudely "who are you with" , they should all reply: 1st. I am with the American people and their right to know the truth and the facts. 2nd. I'm with the 1st Amendment and the free press. 3rd. Who I work with shouldn't matter.

And here we are.

The irony is not lost on us.

Is the world really going to have to burn because the USA can't impeach a president?

Have you clocked how the outrage machine works? The right rages about “fraud” nonstop as a culture war trigger. But not when it comes to the billionaire class. They get a pardon.

I'll tell yall what I want. I want all of them arrested and charged and when they are sentenced I want the judge to stop and tell then what portion of their sentence is for operating with contempt for the American people and their self dealing . This is OUR government not theirs and they must pay.

Not only is Trump a lying coward, he’s a child molester.

Never in my life have I believed Iran state media over our own government. Until now. That’s not being “unpatriotic,” it’s having a brain that functions.

The Democratic party is wildly unpopular right now. Polling shows that people have noticed that they are not fighting. What does fighting look like? For one: forcing votes on impeachment so that we can see that they are united in democracy.

"Not ONE prominent, active Congressional Republican has condemned this despicable post. They are as unconscionably disgusting as he is..."

So there's little chance that voters will blame our allies for the mess Trump created. He knows he's on the hook for this fiasco and that there's no easy or obvious way out of it. 6/6 newrepublic.com/article/2080...

Our discourse assumes that right-populist-coded policies are popular. But the last year has shown otherwise. Tariffs and deportations are widely despised. I think the same is likely true with Trump's threats to NATO and destruction of multilateralism. 5/ newrepublic.com/article/2080...

Trump created this mess in another way. He reportedly didn't consult with our allies before launching the attack on Iran. So when they responded to his demand for help by saying, "this is not our war," this is not only true; it's a creation of Trump himself. 4/ newrepublic.com/article/2080...

Trump's stance is ridiculous. His advisers informed him of this problem in advance; he simply assumed our (his?) "strength" would overwhelm any boring complexities. He has spent the last year pissing on our allies. Now he suddenly needs our alliances after all? 3/ newrepublic.com/article/2080...

His fury at our NATO allies is wildly incoherent. He keeps saying that reopening the strait is easy and that we've already "won." But if so, why hasn't he done it yet himself, and why does he need help? He obviously wants to spread around blame for this fiasco. 2/ newrepublic.com/article/2080...

Trump just raged at our NATO allies for refusing to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz and bail him out of the fiasco he created. He threatened to withdraw from NATO with childish insults. This is best seen as an admission of serious political weakness. 1/ (new piece) newrepublic.com/article/2080...

ICYMI: Six years after Breonna Taylor’s killing, Trump quietly rescinded the rules that could’ve saved her. And now federal prosecutors are seeking to drop all charges against the officers who used a no-knock raid to ambush and kill her.

❗️Hungary under Viktor Orban gave Moscow sustained access to EU discussions for years through compromised foreign ministry networks and direct contacts. Foreign Minister Peter Szijjarto relayed live updates to Sergey Lavrov during meetings and has made 16 visits to Moscow since 2022. #EU

Trump got rid of the Iran Deal because it had Obama’s signature. Now we’re here because he’s a blackmailed asset. I’ll say it again, Trump was installed to destroy the US from within.

Oh this is a really important win. So you know people who use AI generated images and then copy that as a physical painting? This means that as it has no copyright protection (because AI does not), if it's too similar to the existing art AI ripped off, it is easier to fight back legally.

Women in the military didn’t just serve they changed everything! They walked into spaces that told them you don’t belong & proved otherwise with strength, skill & grit! They’ve led troops, flown into combat, saved lives on the front lines & shattered every barrier placed in their way! #SheShed
