Like when Elizabeth Taylor called Michael Jackson "the least weird man" she'd known.

JD Vance is lecturing the Pope on Catholicism and Pierre Poilievre is lecturing Mark Carney on economics and RFK Jr is lecturing scientists about vaccines and Donald Trump is lecturing the world on tariffs and Pete Hegseth is quoting Pulp Fiction and thinking it’s the Bible

Howie Carr was a definite exception, though I'm not sure how much of that was print vs. radio.

I'm skeptical about that last sentence. I know from experience that sports columnists generate a lot of interest, but I'm not sure that in-house or syndicated op-ed writers have had the same effect. (Granted, I can't prove it either way.)

Again: for any big liberal donor who wants to funnel millions into fixing this country's politics, the ROI on buying any struggling paper and simply tasking it with doing real reporting on local news is vastly higher than the same $$ given to some group that does mass ad buys every election year.

Late in my very conservative grandmother's life, I bought her a book about '80s politics I thought she'd like entitled "The President, the Pope, and the Prime Minister." Moreno can take that book, turn it sideways, and cram it.

The US isn’t as as bad as Hungary of course but it’s very very obvious that the media environment shapes how people think about political issues! It would be weird to deny it in Hungary and it’s weird when people do it here about trans rights or vaccine hesitancy or anything else.

He's not allowed to have an active stick, so that makes sense.

My first thought was Voltron.

West Coast? Finally, your excuse to get that pied-à-terre in Fresno.

This is probably true. Also, is it possible that insurance ad characters -- Flo, Jake, the Gecko, Mayhem, all the Liberty jackasses, etc. -- are the most recognizable figures in America?

YES, A FAILED IMPEACHMENT MEANS REPUBLICANS APPROVE OF TRUMP'S CONDUCT. THAT'S THE WHOLE REASON TO DO IT

This World Cup is shaping up to be the most repulsive major international sporting event since Berlin 1936.

Yes, when the moment called for the "Liberal Newspaper" to act like it, the Globe went squishy and ceded way too much of its opinion pages to the likes of Hanania, Singal, Macedo/Lee. Terrible decision.

Yikes.

so, he should still be removed from office as soon as humanly possible

I always go back to Daniel Dale, spending hundreds of hours in 2016 meticulously documenting thousands of lies to establish how unfit for office the guy was, and it was all just ... a tree falling in the forest.

"A whole civilization will die tonight" is a statement that invites, even requires, fears about the worst-case scenario. Sorry.

This is exactly it. Democrats in Congress should be loudly pressuring Republicans to defect. No backroom conversations, no tepid tweets. Find the news cameras, call your press sources, and unload.

You've got an infinitely better chance of impeachment and conviction, no? (Also, you've got no chance of impeachment and conviction.)

If your question is “Where the fuck is Congress right now?!” This is the answer.

Republicans in Congress support this.

It’s that simple

We don’t even have a declaration of war and the President of the United States threatening ”a whole civilization” with death. I would say that this constitutes an emergency that Congress and Cabinet must deal with asap before he can follow through on this insane threat.

Nothing I could say about the GOP base is as illustrative as the fact that Trump understands that posting black people in what his audience considers a “white space” will make them incandescently angry bsky.app/profile/atru...

The New Hork Times The Athletic Today Opinion Q Lifestyle S A Harrowing Race Against Time to Find a Downed U.S. Airman in Iran For the Iranians, the Air Force colonel whose fighter jet had been shot down was possible leverage. For the U.S. military, finding him was a moral imperative. 6 MIN READ Isfahan Province, Iran

I know this is the oldest game, but can you imagine if Obama had threatened a mass casualty event in an unhinged rant that ended “Praise be to Allah” — on Easter no less — and the Times thought it wasn’t the story of the day?

Leaving out key parts of a direct quote from the president is lying.

This isn’t journalism. This is creative writing by fascist sycophants.

In a very real way, the President of the United States should be held to the highest standard of conduct in the whole country.

Somehow, he’s held to a lower (nonexistent) standard of conduct than literally everyone else. It’s unfathomable.

I don't think he wrote That Post. Feels like an imitation by Cheung or one of the other psychopaths.
