Not Sure

Like if you are a professional journalist i hope this makes you realize that there is nothing for you in the information environment you’ve been trying to accommodate. No matter how far you bend over they are going to give the job you want to someone dumber & less principled.

I wonder if, in the navel-gazing world of journalism, the thing that breaks this normalization dynamic is just pure jealousy at someone as unqualified & grifty as Bari Weiss getting such a big undeserved gig

Say what you want about MTG’s abhorrent beliefs but at least it’s an ethos

Hey they aren’t miracle workers

Nah it’s cool

He’s just like Bruce Springsteen (derogatory)

I think we are past the point where things can get better without first getting much worse

You’ve been putting your trash in bins while we’ve been building an army

We already gave it all to Argentina

Oh, do you mean “law”?

If you want us you gotta come through them

Fake news

Oh look it’s the all you can eat special forces

And actually that’s not even fair bc mohela wouldn’t even lose $ from student loan forgiveness. They get paid to administer student loans, there would still be student loans. Forgiving some loans would have no effect on their contract whatsoever. Literally no harm.

Like if mohela can sue the govt for forgiving student loans then haliburton can sue the govt for withdrawing forces from Afghanistan

I had a very low opinion of the court and even then didn’t believe they’d be able to grant Mohela standing. That really was the case where they decided they don’t have to even pretend to be consistent.

I mean he’s right. We are going through a transformation.

Cool so when we’re back in power and bail out student debt I don’t wanna hear one. Fucking. Peep.

I keep wondering whether he could see this all coming so precisely or whether the concept of helicopter raid roundups of every latino in sight & widespread breakdown of due process still seemed like an extreme vision of the future at the time he wrote it & we’re just moving really fast

These boys are fresh out of the mustering hall

There are a lot of good reasons they aren’t really fucking w New York but the most obvious one is that they can’t. They don’t have enough guard troops. ICE are basically yeoman levies, untrained militia who are operationally useless. And the actual military can’t be deployed.

Dolly Parton kept her regular guy husband completely out of the public eye and was paranoid but it mostly bc he was too hot. She wrote probably her most famous song about it.

Most charitable take is that the Biden years created the impression that presidents can’t actually do anything

Maybe it’s time to spell this out more plainly to republicans:

You better hope your assault on democracy works.

For instance, I suspect there may be many thousands of illegal guns throughout Texas. We may be interested in using some of these new imperial powers to protect America’s children.

Andrew Cuomo ate my dog.

Let that sink in.

Truth & reconciliation commissions. Reeducation camps.

Yeah I’m glad no one has been complying in advance
