Poor little Lindsay, a Beta male perpetually in search of an Alpha. Senator Quisling. Special place in hell for folks like him and Marco who knew better.

“The bigger picture.” Sounds like a Nuremberg defense.

Springsteen should be paying Trump and MAGA rent for the next few months, because he is living in their heads.

The tour concluding show at Nat’s Park will be memorable. Can’t wait.

I have studied it all my life and wondered how it could happen in the middle of Europe in the middle of the 20th Century. How could they let it happen? Now we know.

This show is getting lousy ratings. Let’s not pick up the next six episodes.

Iran has 90 million people. It is as big as Alaska. Attack Kharg and their response is likely to be to light up every energy facility in the Gulf. Sure you can take an island or beachhead near the Straits. Then what?

We need USAF Reserve JAGs in the first wave.

Who owns your local? Sinclair owns many affiliates and pushes their right wing crap out for pickup. NEXSTAR too.

If it is Friday and MAGA has had an awful, bad, no good week, then it is time to sue Harvard again! Who cares if gas is $5.00. So much winning!

I am quite sure they did. Trump gave the order anyway, not capable of understanding anything he hears from real experts, and relying on his own superior military genius.

Every ship is a minesweeper, once.

Own goal by Mamdani.

Read the room, dude. It is over.

Let’s see—Trump polls in the dumpster, awful bad week, MAGAs getting mad. What to do? Attack Harvard Again! Bread and Circus for the MAGA masses!

Too soon

Or else, what exactly?

Don’t forget Gaza.

In my world, there's a certain reluctance to being merely, or in a knee-jerk way, a resist lib. That's understandable, even commendable. On the other hand, let's be clear: It's a hell of lot better, morally and intellectually and politically, to be a resist lib than a Vichy conservative.

There is no statute of limitations on homicide in Minnesota.

I wish the new management team the best, I hope they quickly earn the trust of the Lerner family ownership group. But I do not see commitment from ownership to spend, and I predict wheel-spinning until the team is finally sold. And a sale is unlikely until the coming labor dispute plays out. Ugh.

Shhhh!

This is just pathetic. Grade school excuses. I hope my MAGA military friends are waking up to the fact that Trump, Hegseth and their ilk do not share our values.

I've had a missile blow up next to my airplane, been shot at dozens of times by anti-aircraft fire, and launched into orbit — all for my country. I never thought I'd see a President call for my execution.

Trump doesn’t understand the Constitution, and we're all less safe for it.

I proudly worked for one of them, John H. Chafee of RI.

It would be unwise to place too much confidence in a 21st Century Maginot Line.

It is a cult. If he said the Sun would rise in the West tomorrow, MAGA would get up tomorrow morning and look towards the Pacific.

Since 1958, West Point has honored one U.S. citizen annually with the Sylvanus Thayer Award for embodying the values of "Duty, Honor, Country."

Tom Hanks was set to receive the award later this month. His ceremony was just abruptly canceled by the Academy.

They want the fight, not a deal. MAGA base loves fighting with Harvard. Goes well with the narrative, and the general assault on science and knowledge.

Kind of like when Hirohito welcomed MacArthur.
