I would classify that as a type of mental illness, but one that is rendered somewhat invisible due to our system. Politics, business, and entertainment privilege extreme narcissists. The kind who would have been institutionalized in any other context.

I have a theory that his mental illness is so severe that he functionally cannot process the world beyond the late-80s (ie just before his business collapse/bankruptcy). It explains so much about him even before his brain turned to mush recently.

He is forever in an era of his success.

No. He’s be surrounded by such a bubble of wealth and privilege his whole life (and particularly of a New York type of privilege) that I doubt he’s ever been grocery shopping or driven or taken the train or even prepared food for himself.

Sliwa is an insane person and absolutely a fascist, but would 💯 accept in-laws who were black or brown or a child who was trans. He’d bring food to undocumented neighbors.

He’s a particular type of paradoxical Older Urban White Ethnic that many of us grew up with.

There are two types of Americans: people who live here, and people who haven’t gotten here yet

Imagining this in Jerry Stiller’s voice.

No surprising if you remember that the OG neocons (like Irving Kristol) had been anti-communist Trotskyists. This is merely neocons returning to the broad left.

A movie you’ve seen more than 7 times with a GIF.

They were originally the O’Reillys, but that was too ethnic a name.

(yes he really put that to paper)

PA (esp. Eastern PA) with its prominent German history/sizable German-speaking population has those too.

Obama-effect. Mamdani is likable and a natural and is not trying to be something he isn’t.

Her dolphin teeth look like a cushion zipper to him.

Leading white supremacist arrested following affair with mother-in-law Battery charges and the likelihood of a lengthy prison sentence now await Matthew Heimbach.

lmao it was that one fascist who was schtupping his mother-in-law.

They found him by following the cigarette smoke

I’m old enough to remember the NYC medical examiner and city services having to commandeer fucking refrigerated trucks from fast food restaurants and grocery stores to store bodies.

Like something out of a fucking horror movie.

(it's a very short thread 👇🏽)

Got a yuge pack of ‘em from Costco. The blue 3M joints.

Very satisfying.

None more “dad” looking.

Isn’t this the “You survived four years of Trump, you’ll survive another four years of Trump so vote against Harris because Palestine” guy?

Got called once but never made it to the selection phase.

The "it's class not race" crowd 🤝 white supremacists

Kids menu-ass president

You guys will eat infinite shit for a white guy who provides you with platitudes it’s a sad sight

20000 won’t be enough

She comes from a wealthy Indian family and is more a product of the conservative legal pipeline (clerked for Kavanaugh and Roberts) than even Vance. If they weren’t married she would probably be a right-wing judicial/executive appointee or candidate.

I would have if I still lived in VA.

Also, HE RELEASED THE VIDEO HIMSELF!

*That* was his attempt to get in front of the tattoo issue. His only strategy was to self-wound with oppo and then whine about how unfair everything is.

Dumb, pointless, and ineffective.
