The Superintendent’s Bio Seemed Too Good to Be True. It Was.

"lying silver-tongued charlatan runs to the US, attempts to reinvent himself, turns out to be pretty good at an important job" this is like one of the foundational American Stories www.nytimes.com/2025/10/05/u...

I remember Astead being a little asshole and saying he had no regrets about his coverage of Biden's age and would do the same of Trump if it became the issue, where you at now you sniveling little fuck

i truly hate that the language of business has come to define all government functions. like "oh the mail has to make enough money to justify its existence" fuck you its a public service

People care more about prices going up than their wages going up is part of it, but we shouldn't neglect that the Democrats are Mom and the Republicans are Dad, and voters were mad at Mom for telling them they couldn't see their friends in 2020, even if Dad was in office at the time.

It is fully irresponsible to argue for an American return to global leadership. This country is deeply unwell and has no business leading anything until that's no longer the case. There's a whole world out there capable of tending to the world's problems. We must tend to ours.

Did Trump win in November because he showed grace and empathy to people who voted for Joe Biden in 2020? Politics is not an Afterschool Special. You put out a strong message about what's wrong, propose a compelling policy agenda, hope the economy cooperates and that's it. None of this mush.

Happy September 21 (ish)

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by the process of law.

they don't have the capacity to compel obedience by violence.

the only lever by which they can obtain obedience is fear.

do not offer it to them.

I respect how Philly killed that freeloading canadian robot

Sorry for our rep's rudeness 😔 hope the rest of your visit here was more pleasant

People are often surprised to learn that Lee was an officer who never made it past colonel. The purported promotion to general was awarded by a treasonous cabal calling itself the "confederate states of america" which was put down by force by the Union army, which also had superior generals.

Okay I guess I can see why this new logo is controversial

All of my political views and policy ideas have basically collapsed to "Punish the Villains" and I mumble it to myself every time I see a news article these days

i pay a fair bit for news media but it's almost all written copy because the difference between slick professionally produced cable news hogslop and tiktok reels influencer hogslop has shrunk down to basically zero to me

It's a wise investment into fine literature

one of the easiest and worst functions of online culture is to serve you back your own despair

if i cannot win without parrying i will simply cheat or not play it

CBS cancels Colbert as media continues to turn Trumpward It's not just bending the knee. It's also oligarchic solidarity.

"Execs at CBS’s parent company Paramount may have dumped Colbert not to appease Trump, but to join with him. There’s ample evidence that billionaires genuinely, sincerely like Trump’s vision of authoritarian rule by billionaire, and want to do their part to crush dissent and discipline the proles."

it could happen at any time! i'll probably live to see it!

one of the things i really want to see in up and coming congressional hopefuls are people who want to reclaim congress’ mantle as first among equals within the government and do big things with it

As I would not be a slave, so I would not be a master. This expresses my idea of democracy. Whatever differs from this, to the extent of the difference, is no democracy.

It's because Trump is weak and checked out -- more Hindenburg than Hitler -- and the people with real power (Miller, Vought, Colby) are insane ideologues relatively insulated from political pressures.

will the media cover this totally self-inflicted, deadly shortage as much as they covered the temporary shortages of infant formula while Biden was President? If not, why not? Is this an objective judgment about the news value of each thing? If it isn't what's the other way for deciding?
