It’s good that we’re showing Republicans and their voters that we will inflict equal or greater damage on them from this moment forward.

I don’t know what lesson you failed to learn but it’s going to get a lot of people killed. Grow up.

I don’t want a level playing field against my ideological enemies who, daily, threaten violence against me, my loved ones and my countrymen. I want to destroy them and I want any potential imitators to know why we did it and that we’ll do it again to them if they feel like taking another swing at it

What you have realize about Rod Dreher is that his wife divorced him and his kids despise him because he’s a pathetic worm unworthy of love or human connection. I’ve lost my train of thought and I’m not sure how any of this relates to the initial point, but all that stuff about Rod is still true.

You can’t hate these people more than they hate themselves.

Failing to imprison this man as soon as possible is a mistake on par with pardoning Confederate leaders during Reconstruction.

Not a math guy; is this good?

The surest sign that SCOTUS think we’re all a bunch of fucking suckers is the repeated attempts to convince us that the most political entity in the United States government is not actually political AND that them being friends in this context is a good thing for the rest of us.

Defensive security guarantees in exchange for sustained cessation of hostilities feels like a reasonable trade. But they don’t need bulldozers to defend themselves, and we’ll need to mean it when we say we’ll walk away if they renege.

They don’t, but everyone is still mad at them for fucking up worse than anyone ever has and they can’t handle it.

I think these guys (Patel, Lyons, et al) are figuring out they can pretend to ignore large parts of their jobs but they can’t disregard the psychic weight of knowing they’re responsible for the lives and deaths of thousands of people and are simply not intellectually equipped for it.

Yeah, that’s my favorite part.

To be fair, it’s only ever been profitable in two FYs since its founding. In that sense, he merely continued to ruin an already shitty business.

Dude has spent the last four years barely containing the worst aspects of his personality on the road to becoming a more marketable product and he is going to fucking pop any day now.

Joel Kaplan has flown under the radar for far too long and it’s hard to overstate his contribution to our noxious info environment.

He’s mentally unwell.

What is the Perfect Airplane Movie, to you?

Rollins made her bones in Texas politics advocating for the end of agricultural subsidies, but I’m going to assume the farmers who voted for Trump en masse for his second term already knew that given her prominent policy role in Trump I.

Not 100% on install, but the PC Richard on Atlantic will do same day delivery.

Oh, I totally get it. I’m just sick to death of hearing about the congenial nature of the Court *from* the Court, and how it’s a bastion of non-partisan deliberation and honest dealing. If it ever was, it isn’t now.

Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas blasts progressivism as threat to America He said that the values enshrined in the 1776 Declaration of Independence have “fallen out of favor” among Americans.

Sure, but meanwhile…

They don’t know how to back down and the Catholic Church has proven that it has nothing but time.

The sheer irony of Trump’s war in Iran causing the PIF to tighten the purse strings on the golf league his clubs are hosting twice this year…

It’s a good day to remind everyone that this man possesses the unilateral authority to deploy nuclear weapons.

lol

Prosciutto is ham and if you’re criticizing prosciutto you better get right with your gods because I am coming for you

Bloomberg didn’t run a three way race, though.

Yeah, the entire job is blocking the shit that rolls downhill toward your people while advocating for them upward. It’s not a job you can fake for long; too many things hinge on your decisions and no one at either end of where you sit stays quiet for long when you fuck up.

We may be understating what years of horking down beef aspics did to the 1950s American brain.
