If you think a bunch of young Republicans saying horrifically bigoted things is shocking, wait until you hear how everyone cheered at the inauguration party when the wealthiest man in the world gave a pair of Nazi salutes

He says ICE agents are “doing the Lord’s work.” Perhaps he is not familiar with anything the Lord said. Particularly about ‘who is your neighbor?’ and ‘what you do to the least of these you do to me.’

Over 50,000 people are running today in “war torn” Chicago for the city’s marathon.

Pritzker is getting a lot of flak on this. But consider that if Illinois didn’t maintain order around protests, then a case is made for Trump’s use of Natl Guard. The troopers were allowing the protest but clearly told folks to stay out of the street. ICE gonna ICE, but Guard isn’t needed.

Remember when the right wing was all torqued up about “Jade Helm 15” military exercise where they feared Obama was going to invade red states with US Army troops? Texas gov even sent Texas National Guard observers to make sure nothing bad happened. Amazing how much projection they do. Every damn day

Great choices. Hard to overlook MASH and I’d have gone with Rockford Files over Mannix.

Bbbbbut, what about Dear Leader’s Nobel Prize. Bibi wouldn’t jeopardize that…would he?

How ANYONE can like or admire such a narcissist is beyond my comprehension.

Loved the boost in intensity from subs in 2H. Garner continues to be outstanding no matter where he plays. Pickford and CDs made a number of great, great plays to keep it from getting away in 1H.

His skill set is limited, but when he’s plugged in his intensity can make a difference. While I credit Alcaraz for the intensity lift in the 2H, Beto was part of that and did the job today. (That said, he’s no Haaland, who just made Brentford look silly rn.)

Alcaraz was such a spark. Garner was also fantastic today. Such better intensity in 2H. UTFT!

The public has a very poor grasp of policy and the ideology behind it. For decades the GOP brand was small government. Now they praise a dictator who seeks to inject the government into every aspect of our lives and “solve” every “problem” in society. 90% of GOP doesn’t even see the contradiction.

Tbf, if someone really rich is reading this then he did lower their taxes.

Don’t worry Senator, if they can’t make a living they can just die.

I can’t stand Trump, and invading Venezuela is wrong, immoral and illegal. But, the economy is hardly in free fall. Moreover, overseas wars tend to be stimulative economically.

I hate this result. It’s notable that any SA case that occurred over four decades ago that results in any type of conviction seems very rare. So, I’m glad to see some sort of conviction even while I’m disappointed at the very light sentence.

Mine’s also TP. His death was like reliving Stevie Ray Vaughan’s death nearly 30 years earlier.

Zelensky should’ve bought Dear Leader a plane.

Shameful. Undoubtedly the most unethical foreign policy decision in history. I pray that not one American life is lost in defense of DJT getting a big gaudy plane.

If they vote 90% MAGA, then yes. Trump is the King of Debt. Don’t be too surprised when deficits (as % of GDP) are back to COVID levels. He makes promises with other people’s money. (In this case future generations’ money.)

Tariffs have NEVER been good for American agriculture. Old school, rural Democrats knew this from pre-Civil War times. MAGA won those voters with culture war issues, but MAGA doesn’t understand or care to economically help the farm economy. Just more handouts. The very thing the GOP used to decry.

MAGA “thought leaders” think the late nineteenth century era of robber barons was the apogee of American greatness. It was a horribly corrupt time that resulted in bringing reform. Reforms led to public administration emerging as a profession with the “neutral administrator” as the ideal.

Maybe just stop adopting fascist policies?

That last line was a hot take.

The fools running MAGA trade policy haven’t forgotten comparative advantage. They have never heard of the concept of comparative advantage!

The main difference between immigrants coming to America today and those who came to America 150 years ago is that a higher percentage of those who came here back then were white.

And for racists, that’s the only attribute that matters. That’s the only thing they’re capable of seeing.

Also, Reagan amnestied millions of illegal aliens (something that seems to vanish from these discussions), eliminated an entire class of nuclear weapons, appointed the first woman to SCOTUS, among other things that Trumpists would today howl are the marks of a RINO cuck

Tylenol has been on the market for 70 years without issues, but yeah, let’s trust the guy who thought injecting bleach might cure COVID.

I took my newly 1 year old baby to her check-up this morning & she got her MMR, chicken pox, flu & COVID shots. If she's feeling fussy tonight, I'll alternate Tylenol & Motrin, per my pediatrician's rec. How fun that I get to ignore the president & be a good mom (and good citizen) instead.
