I swear there was a window for a Grimjack show somewhere

This is sentimental, but plain Crackerjack with my Dad when I was a kid

The Pope gets flamed by Oak on social media and apologizes instantly

Donald Trump is very unpopular and being seen as opposing Donald Trump in clear moral terms is an almost instant path to political and cultural relevance.

i think we should bully people who let out long-suffering performative sighs about the oppression of ephebophiles

Ahead of midterms, Trump’s DOJ is targeting voting in three of the most pivotal swing-state counties "They're basically acknowledging they got nothing," one elections expert said. "It's going to be used for propaganda and PR. And DOJ's law enforcement powers aren't supposed to be used for propaganda ...

With the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) last week demanding 2024 election records from Wayne County, Michigan, the Trump administration is now aggressively targeting the voting process in perhaps the country’s three most pivotal voting jurisdictions. www.democracydocket.com/news-alerts/...

He has never looked more himself.

Say what you will about the worst members of the Roberts Court, but they all make sure their wives are in on the grift.

Jane Roberts, Martha Alito and Ginni Thomas are equal partners with their husbands in the grand project of destroying the United States and enriching themselves in the process.

the UAE's threat wasn't subtle (give us swap lines or we're going to Beijing) but hassett is dodging here ("should that be necessary") and between this and the Abdulkhaleq post the other day I have to wonder if there was a massive rupture between the US and UAE at the end of last week

“Move fast and break things” as an ethos was always going to run into “laws are a hinderance to xyz” and while people may cheekily call it ‘cyberpunk’ or such the reality is it’s nothing more than white collar criminality and should be prosecuted as such

The waiver Trump signed isn’t going to do Ru much good if Ukraine keeps degrading Ru export capacity.

Garth Ennis has always had an edgelord streak

If there’s any lesson from Magyar’s overwhelming win over an entrenched 16 year kleptocracy, it’s that anger over corruption can mobilize a lot of voters across the ideological spectrum. Apart from Epstein, corruption is little discussed in the US even when it’s in your face.

Trump, who said in the 2024 campaign that Kamala Harris would start World War 3, compares his war against Iran to World War II

We must use US taxpayer dollars to backstop the UAE

Which is facing economic problems caused by the war Trump started and doesn't know how to win

A war encouraged by leaders of the UAE

Who have given hundreds of millions in bribes to Trump, his family, and associates

GOP lawyer Joe diGenova, now running Trump’s “Grand Conspiracy” probe, said Bondi had “nixed” him from the role

The "Grand Conspiracy" theory is what happens when you take ten years of Sean Hannity monologue transcripts and put them in a blender on high. And so the Trump team has snagged an old veteran of Hannity's green room to run the show. www.mediamatters.org/fox-news/gop...

To expand on this a little: one thing that playing fast and loose with the facts lets you do as a judge is lie about the legal principles you're using to decide cases

The "No, not those IDs" gives away the game here. And Republican Judges have no problem with that!

I study racist politicians from the Jim Crow era and this is on par with anything that John Rankin, Theodore Bilbo, or Cotton Ed Smith ever said in public

I’m sure the pandemic and Black Lives Matter broke his brain but both his parents are fascists, his grandfather was a fascist and I don’t believe there was a time when he wasn’t, even if he kept it on the DL.

The Supreme Court will decide whether Colorado violated the First Amendment's free exercise clause by requiring schools participating in its universal pre-K program to abide by a non-discrimination policy that Catholic schools reject. (Exceedingly ominous.) www.supremecourt.gov/orders/court...

The leadership of Israel is high on its own supply and the IDF has exactly zero discipline now. Just the most obviously terrible imagry to keep up pretenses

“Another way to look at this is that billionaires have joined a war on professional administrative class of public servants precisely because of their proximity to formal mechanisms of accountability.”

That part! Everything from documentation to compliance mechanisms to whistleblowing is a threat.

It’s not a coincidence Beshear landed on reasserting the use of “inmates” as a political litmus test.

Which gets us back to the Sistah Souljah of it all and the clearly held belief that “standing up to Black people” etc is clearly considered the best way to signal strength to the rest of the electorate…

LOFL. I didn’t realize that the problem had reached such epic proportions. A tweet announcing that an ex-convict had opened a weed store in New York State!

"The average IQ in Somalia hovers around 70, and that's the threshold for mentally handicapped ... they're a net drain on the society" -- even by MAGA standards, the unvarnished racism of this interview of Rep. Brandon Gill by Benny Johnson is breathtaking

Incredible movie potential though
