Ask him if he'd be willing to donate his net worth--beyond, say, a measly 50 million--to the CA State general fund prior to the primary, so that we can be assured that his goals are truly selfless.

But shall this crazed old man be tamely suffered to drag a whole ship’s company down to doom with him?

I've built a socioeconomic system that depends on everyone to do useful work and act ethically except the people at the top, who get unimaginable rewards for being antisocial frauds and criminals. And I think it will stand the test of time

"President Trump will hit the home run, score the touchdown and win the marathon. He will bring home the bacon AND fry it up in a pan. He will bring in the funk, he will kick out the jams. And I assure you -- he will, he will rock you."

"Sir, many people are saying you're scared to sail through the strait yourself. When do you plan on proving them wrong?"

This week, on a very special episode of Freedom Force with Steven Seagal and Dr. Phil:

The Trump administration could really restore confidence by getting the entire Cabinet to ride a tanker through the Straits of Hormuz to show everyone how safe and easy it is now.

They could bring along a lot of MAGA influencers and Fox News hosts to broadcast it all live!

We are bombing Iran to drive out their authoritarian government that cruelly suppresses the democratic will of its people. And if they won't surrender, we're going to cancel the midterms.

I can't message you via Bluesky, but I worked on a lot of issues you're interested in during my 30 year environmental law/project management career, and it would be fun to compare notes. DM me.

I was the CPUC lead for the transmission line project that got power from Ivanpah to the grid, then eventually moved to CEC and worked in the Division where the environmental analysis for the Ivanpah permit was done (prior to my arrival). Get in touch--it would be fun to compare notes.

Between Tillamook and Umpqua, we're living in a Supermarket Ice Cream Golden Age on the Best Coast.

Update: Civil War cancelled due to shooter being demographically uncooperative

I don't know how anyone who doesn't have a kid in middle school or high school can possibly understand or interpret the behavior of anyone under 25, much less navigate a news cycle involving it

basically a generational cohort split here where certain younger people intuitively grasp the irony poisoned context, and if you aren't already up to speed, very hard to explain

From fecal material secretly collected from Putin in Alaska we will make a potion to revive Donald Trump.

“Mr. President, JD Vance says he’s ready to take over for you as soon as you die. Any comment?”

wild to watch an entire country deliberately and repeatedly shoot itself in the dick, esp. when you live in that country.

They might be making Trump mad, but Newsom has been throwing these at the press -- if you think these are beneath my office, why don't you say that when the president does the same thing?

He's exposing that the media has a separate set of standards for Our Very Special Boy and that's good.

usually if you ask experts why an empire fell they’ll say it’s nuanced and multifaceted, so i think it’s kind of cool that with America future historians will get to just say like “oh they took the idiot train to moronsville”

Remember "facts don't care about your feelings"? Turns out that, too, was pure projection. The entire Republican governing project at the moment is devoted to addressing the baseless fears of conservative cowards.

Trump tells MAGA to fuck off, that he doesn’t want their support anymore.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Blessed are the entrepreneurs.

Has the collapse of an empire ever been so stupid

old Soviet joke for our times:

Guy stops by the newsstand every day, scans the front page, doesn’t buy the paper. One day the vendor asks what he’s up to.

Guy says: “looking for an obituary.”

Vendor says “those are towards the back of the paper, comrade.”

Guy says: “not the one I’m looking for.”

scores of pissed off Mormon CIA agents who just got canned are ideologically cross-pollinating with platoons of fired trans FBI agents. we are on the verge of new types of politics our ancestors could only dream about
