Tucker Carlson: I'II be tormented for a long time by the fact that I played a role in getting Donald Trump elected. We're implicated in this. I misled people.

It'd sure be nice if Kamala Harris' campaign organization wouldn't constantly promote Tucker Carlson, Alex Jones, Megyn Kelly, and whatnot. But oh well.

The latest filings in the case suggest Mr Carlson expressed his dislike of the outgoing US president two days before Trump supporters stormed the US Capitol to derail lawmakers from certifying Joe Biden's election win. "We are very, very close to being able to ignore Trump most nights," he wrote in a text sent on 4 January 2021. "I truly can't wait." "I hate him passionately," he added. Mr Carlson, the top-rated host on the conservative network, also appeared to denigrate the Trump presidency in these private messages, despite lauding his achievements on air. "That's the last four years. We're all pretending we've got a lot to show for it, because admitting what a disaster it's been is too tough to digest. But come on. There isn't really an upside to Trump."

Tucker says "I'm sorry for misleading people. It was not intentional," which is provably false.

Tucker will of course campaign for JD Vance in 2028 like none of this ever happened

There is no moral metric here - people killed, vulnerable populations killed, children killed, displacement, method of killing, treatment of hostages, etc. - where the IDF doesn't come out orders of magnitude worse

The Republican National Committee entered April with $117 million on hand. The Democratic National Committee entered April with negative $4.4 million on hand, inclusive of debts.

So glad the DNC picked Ken Martin over Ben Wikler

Dana Fash forgets to give the "context" that Netanyahu has an ICC warrant, but also I would love for somebody to give a consistent moral argument as to why Hamas is worse than the IDF. The only argument for this is if you inherently believe state actors are morally superior to nonstate actors.

Haters talking all this mess online but if they met you in person they'd be begging you for fantasy football start/sit advice

part of the problem with the two-state delusion is that the 1967 borders would leave roughly the same number of Israeli settlers living unwillingly under Palestinian rule as were expelled from Israel in the original Nakba (800,000)

It does not matter whether it is right or not

How did she ever become governor in the first place?

Every single poll, both nationally and in each state, shows that Bernie Sanders is the most popular Democrat in the country. Has been that way for like 5 years now. Democrats have chosen to learn nothing from that fact.

The distribution of Boston Marathon finishing times from 9.7 million runners

This is an especially appalling thing to say as a guy with a computer job. Just open your laptop! Every airport has WiFi.

Former Biden administration senior advisor Amos Hochstein says he supported last summer's Operation Midnight Hammer, in which the Trump administration struck Iran's nuclear facilities, because "we had thought internally in the Biden administration we may have to take [strikes] if there was a second term." "We did war games. We did some practice runs on what it would look like to look into it, because that may have had to happen under

Biden's point man on Lebanon and one of his overall most important advisor for MENA said yesterday morning that he agreed with Trump's strikes on Iran last year lol.

Democrats really need to reassess how people like this were (and still are) allowed to be at the top of their foreign policy echelon.

Elsevier too

Trump is going to leave the presidency like $10 billion richer than he entered it.

Israel is expanding its genocide

You can either have one person (the candidate) shift their positions or you can imagine some fantastical scenario whereby millions of people who all consume vastly different information come to the exact same conclusion. Somehow we argue about this like it’s a real conversation.

Behind every vote shaming politician or pundit is a belief in a magical fantasy. It assumes that somehow we can coordinate the moral behavior of millions of people spanning thousands of miles to all adopt the same moral framework. It’s an impossibility. The onus is on the candidate to win voters.

When Michael Jordan retired, the NBA lost half of its revenue over night. The year LeBron joined Miami, a max NBA contract was $16 million. Today it is $60 million. The league has to have a singular superstar to thrive.

Do The Right Thing, Big Lebowski, Fargo, or Dog Day Afternoon

It’s funny that the NBA is tearing its hair out trying to fix tanking when really the only thing that matters to the league’s future is whether you can replace LeBron James

It seems as if the leader of the Democratic Party has failed at his job!

The swing from Swalwell to Becerra among insiders, as if they were interchangeable widgets, is deeply illustrative of the Iron Law of Institutions.

Bearstar, etc., would rather prop a new stalking horse up — and risk letting two Republicans into the general — than cede their power over the party.

A lot of people are still in the denial about how much the median Democratic voter, the median Democratic volunteer, and the median Democratic activist has shifted on a variety of issues. Well here's the handpicked candidate of Chuck Schumer being booed, about Gaza, at the Dem convention.

Trump continues to crater. New NBC poll has his approval down to 37-63, which is 26 points underwater.

Crucially, 50% disapprove *strongly.* Has any other president had half the country strongly disapproving?

“Whether it’s Mahmoud Khalil… or President Trump. It’s all bad.”

Jake Tapper is such an Islamophobic piece of shit

There are tens of millions of people who are outraged by the Trump admin and ready to be politically activated and mobilized. Rather than playing to this population, Dems are punching left to chase a few thousand centrists they imagine will only turn on Trump if Dems are a little more racist.
