Our Constitution gives us 3 coequal branches that are intended to serve as a check and balance on the other.

All you need to know about Mike Johnson's fealty to that Constitution is that he chooses to dress like a cheerleader.

Does that count as a plan?

Trump (or Vance) will still be president for three more years, so even if Dems somehow won both houses of Congress next year, Rs would still bear most of the blame.

Did stories about egg prices talk about what Republicans planned to do about them? (I doubt it, since I wasn't aware of any such plans, but then again I also mostly ignored the egg-price discourse.)

Trump: Pro-crypto or Pro-crime? Or are they the same thing?

"why would Trump, whose poll numbers are cratering, generate even more negative headlines by pardoning Hernández, who was duly convicted of conspiring to send more than 400 tons (!) of cocaine to America?

The answer is the influence of the crypto/tech broligarchy."

And here's the really fun part: Guess how many of the 21 boat strikes are against Sinaloa, and guess how many are against their rivals? I know this because apparently, cartels use established drug trafficking routes, and none of them have been on the rountes Sinaloa uses.

I got to thinking: "What if it's not about the contradiction between the Hernandez pardon and the air strikes, but about the consistency between them?"

As President of Honduras, he used the power of the government to go after certain cartels—primarily the rivals of the Sinaloa Cartel, with whom he

Why would Kelly sacrifice buyout cash to take the Sparty job?

If that counts as trying... man I don't know.

Incompetence is a qualification. Competent people are dangerous to the would-be autocrat.

What would make him think Hegseth would not be that foolish?

Number of states where average gas prices are below $2:

Zero.

Number of states where average gas prices are anywhere NEAR $2:

Zero.

Trump allowed 17 members of the Sinaloa cartel into the US.

In May he commuted the 6x life sentences of the leader of the Gangster Disciples, most notorious drug trafficking & murderous street gang in the US.

Now Honduran drug trafficker Hernandez.

Is Trump setting up his own drug corridor?

I heard that if you stand next to Lara Trump your thumbs turn into two middle fingers to your constituents and everyone that knocked on doors, campaigned and voted for you.

He *still* thinks people seeking asylum are coming from mental institutions.

Why are you like this?

Even after learning about the alarming number of murders?!?

If we would reach a degree of civilization higher and grander than any yet attained, we should welcome to our ample continent all the nations, kindreds, tongues and peoples, and as fast as they learn our language and comprehend the duties of citizenship, we should incorporate them into the American body politic. The outspread wings of the American eagle are broad enough to shelter all who are likely to come.

The guy shot two random people with a gun, I don't think you can say he wasn't assimilating into our culture

The DC shooting story is really getting to me because we literally trained this man as a child soldier for a death squad in a forever war and Stephen Miller et al want to blame it on other cultures? It's our culture, American culture, that killed that woman.

man i sure wish there were a search engine that would make up plausible-looking but completely incorrect search results

So quit, bitch, wtf

Even this loser weasel with no evident talents can still find some kind of wingnut-welfare sinecure that financially secures him for life.

Now that the WAC name is available again, they should go with that.

I still don't understand how this project is even legal.

I can still recite this from memory, over 40 years later.

I tried to figure out the structure last week and it's the most outlandishly zany "tournament" I've ever seen. Pool play, but you don't play everyone in your pool, and also even if you win your pool you still are not guaranteed a path to the championship.

We warned you that self-driving cars would just create self-driving traffic jams, and here they are.

The car industry has no solution to the shortage of space in cities. Public transit, cycling, and walking are all part of the answer, but cars are not.

To be fair, he got rich before he became a senator. He's going broke as a senator.

Where's he gonna get the money? The IRS will need to get in line.

Burn it all down
