uh, Daily Mail has an absolutely wild story about Kristi Noem's husband that he essentially confirmed to them in a phone call www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article...

It's largely forgotten at this point, but before Tinder, we relied on our stereo manufacturers for opportunities for casual sex

Many of these people have also committed state crimes and could be investigated and prosecuted now

This is a crazy take. It wasn't failing.She was an enthusiastic participant in an ideological takeover.Her entire business model is getting rich assholes to give her money and responsibiliy. Also from the view of ownership she has succeeded by making it a regime outlet.They don't care about ratings

We may get to test this thesis soon.

this video has a satisfying conclusion

The steakhouse is on the meal plan!

Just like with the NRA on guns making AIPAC responsible for our foreign policy is a way to free the American people from responsibility for their votes and views and to avoid engaging with the difficult work of persuasion and navigating a pluralistic society where people have wrongheaded views. 1/2

These are all in cross-tabs with the standard 7-point political ideology measure Here's the Jewish power one -- Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: "Jews in the United States have too much power" Higher overall agreement on the right but pretty close at both extremes

And here's the collective blame one -- Do you agree or disagree with the following statement: "It is appropriate for opponents of Israel’s policies and actions to boycott Jewish American owned businesses in their communities." This is highest on the far left

Trump is like a human version of the One Ring. You cannot use him for good, or even really your own purpose. He's an inherently corrupting power that only ever serves his one master, himself. When you use him, you become bound to his will.

Perfect

"Why won't u vote 4 awesome person just cuz she's new?" We OK what are voters going to rely on in the primary to prove that you're awesome? They're going look at how well you've done in similar jobs and your previous history in the community.

People are arguing a strawman like "there is a de jure rule you must be a third generation resident " and not the actual situation "convincing people that should you represent them for a very important job is hard to do when you showed up fifteen minutes ago and have never done any similar work." 1/

Okay in all seriousness I would have voted for Biss and I’m happy he won. But losing an election really sucks, especially if you thought you wouldn’t! It’s basically the worst feeling short of someone dying. So genuine condolences to Kat who did much better than I would have expected at the start.

What it's like to be watching the World Baseball Classic and then be subjected to ads for Fox's original programming

I like to remind people that Krysten Sinema started off as a Green Party candidate and a bunch of senior Bernie people are MAGA or anti anti Trump. People who can't stay ideologically moored are unreliable and aren't just going to be dragged leftishly.

When my colleague David Bier at a Senate hearing yesterday defended his statement that DHS has promoted ethnic cleansing, some conservatives reacted with anger. But Stephen Miller's deportation plan does indeed fit the description of ethnic cleansing, argues Kyle Varner at @theunpopulist.net. /1

Laker Fans Furious As Bam Adebayo Dies In Even Worse Helicopter Crash

As @mtsw.bsky.social has noted the author of The Power of Positive Thinking was the pastor of Trump's church and officiated his first wedding! It is not a speculative connection!

The idea that America isn’t for everyone who wants to be an American is something that makes my blood boil. Posting a photo of yourself as a Congressman smiling next to these words is wicked. It’s antithetical to the concept of America.

@ilyasomin.bsky.social pls fix.

Could you please keep our fucking names out of your mouth? Seriously, this "oh, the Jews have it so good here, they're treated so well, everyone wants to protect them" shit is its own form of antisemitism

Not my insight but it's the index fund of political analysis. Outperforms more complicated approaches virtually all time.

The refusal to accept that things will get bad because surely someone will stop it has been the defining popular and elite failure of the Trump era. Played a big part of everyone ignoring COVID until it was too late.

@gelliottmorris.com is there a reason that there doesn't seem to be an especially good correlation between Trump's approval in a particular poll and the generic ballot in the poll? This a much better approval than most but more D favorable generic ballot than most.

really good essay appreciating HIGHLANDER - a movie that that I honestly don't like very much. But it's good that other people like it!

Jim from the Office is another one who has aged badly.

people opposing this are cowards

Any discussion of the war that does not start with the understanding that Trump is an ignorant madman who invaded a US state and wanted to invade Greenland, is going to miss the point.

it’s not his fault he is under the control of a small rat that hates poor people
