You know, I almost hope that someone makes a joke about Carr and he initiates a retaliatory censorship regulatory action on the spot against CBS. That would be nothing less than those contemptible lickspittle quislings deserve. It turns out that the "free press" is its own biggest enemy.

Analytical side note: Maybe I’ve missed them, but I haven’t seen Wilson do many (any?) appearances like this before/in recent years — I.e., as one of several talking heads on a program that includes voices critical of him, as opposed to a one-on-one debate or being the only one being interviewed.
"But Great Replacement is REAL!!! I'm NOT misleading you about that, no siree! Every taco you eat is one less REAL AMERICAN hamburger!!!"
Over on Truth Toilet, Trump said in his praise of Tim Cook, "I was very impressed with myself to have the head of Apple calling to 'kiss my ass.'" And that's now the only way we should remember Cook: lips firmly attached to Trump's rear like a frantic remora.
Did a bear fund this study?
And that was from when the United States was real!
So relatable
btw I learned to hold grudges from my mother who to this day curses Irsay every year on the anniversary of him stealing the colts
periodic reminder that bart stupak can go fuck himself
Maybe Democrats would have a bigger lead on the generic ballot if the first words out of every prominent Democrat's mouth weren't some variation on "My party sucks and people are right not to vote for us."

Always worth remembering that Sister Souljah was a REPUBLICAN congressional intern! (And Clinton's attack was a disruption of Jesse Jackson's effort to promote dialogue.)
I feel like Dems have been consultant-brain-rotted by Clinton’s famous “Sister Souljah” moment—and feel like they need to include scolding “Sister Souljah” lines in every speech or appearance. You don’t. You can offer a positive message & attack the corruption of the GOP. Your enemies are not Dems.
Congrats, Gov. A phrase no one had ever heard much less uttered, has now entered the parlance and will be used as an attack.
You just allowed a nonsense expression to “seep into our language”
This reeks of the same spew from Gavin Newsom saying Democrats needed to be “more culturally normal” and “less judgmental.” Dog save me from ambitious DiNOs looking for an excuse to be shitty to the disenfranchised by claiming language is too woke.

The Democratic party needs to stop using advocacy speak. I read this veterinary textbook and it kept calling kitty cats "Felis Catus Linnaeus" so out of touch. We've got to talk like normal people again.

In which I propose the extremely radical idea that it's actively counterproductive to project every Democrat with a pulse into some higher office when they might actually be best suited to (and extremely useful in!) the job they already have.
Progressive U.S. Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed said he agrees Democrats should use plain language, but that it has to be backed by substance.
“I would add a proviso, which is to say that you got to be talking about things that people actually care about,” El-Sayed told me for @michiganadvance.com
“That the President of the United States would use the most holy day of the Christian calendar year to utter foul war threats against his enemies is sadly unsurprising.” www.liberalcurrents.com/remembering-...
This is precisely why it’s essential for every signatory country to invite Netanyahu & all other war criminals. Maybe they’ll get careless & caught.
they are just so used to not unsettling the status quo and faith in institutions and incrementalism and the kids are looking at them like EVERYTHING IS ON FIRE WHO THE FUCK CARES ABOUT THE INSTITUTIONS THEY HAVE FAILED MY ENTIRE LIFE
More broadly, if you came of age under Bush, that was hardly normal compared to anything that came before. "Conservatives Without Conscience" by John Dean (of Watergate fame) was about authoritarianism's grip on conservatives when The Apprentice was just getting started.
I think one of the reasons that Schumer and so many in the party don't seem to understand where the youth are politically is that they simply can not internalize that for these kids they have never seen a normal politics so they look at these guys like wtf are you doing just standing there
It is an excellent question that should be asked of Trump and every Republican.
Vaccination is important & saves lives but it didn’t keep me from catching covid and becoming disabled by it. We need layered protection- mask & vax & testing. Especially us. Long covid is disproportionally common in queer community & among low income people.
I'm fine with "virtue is its own reward" less so with virtue-signaling, much less expecting an infinite return in the afterlife, which seriously reframes the moral calculus.
“The historian Henri Locard compiled a book of the slogans that were regularly regurgitated in Democratic Kampuchea. The most common (was) “With the Angkar, we shall make a Great Leap Forward, a prodigious Great Leap Forward.”” 😱
I was never deeply aware of Khmer Rouge ideology, but this seemed obvious to me from the beginning.
Kudos to Kash for actually following through and filing a lawsuit! It will be dismissed so fast that we might not have time to talk about how insane it is.
But the lawsuit is simply an appeal to keep his job, so dismissal would be a good outcome for history’s worst federal law-enforcement chief.

Wall Street Journal photo shows Army Secretary Dan Driscoll with his hand over his heart to honor fallen service members as clownish Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth salutes in his civilian suit with a ridiculous stars-and-stripes pocket square.
Observe the difference between Hegseth & Army Secretary Dan Driscoll.
Both served as junior officers in the Army in Iraq. (Hegseth was a Guardsman.) Both are now civilians in control of the military—as required by our system. But only Hegseth is saluting. Hegseth is clown, a warrior cosplayer.
