Fugitive would also be a good choice for a Chicago pope.

Mark Twain was going to use this as a book title, but the publisher rejected it.

Solid.
Speaking of Felix, in the movies, up till Jeffrey Wright, only one actor portrayed him twice: David Hedison.
He was in Live and Let Die in 1973, then License to Kill (criminally underrated) in 1989.

" [I]t’s not absurd to think MTG may be positioning herself for a post-Trump presidential run."
Maybe. I've said this before - the smart republicans would be better off if they moved away from maga. Trump is an albatross around their necks. I just didn't think she'd be a "smart" one.

I Want You to Understand Chicago Politics Chicago 2025-11-08 I want you to understand what it is like to live in Chicago during this time. Every day my phone buzzes. It is a neighborhood group: four people were kidnapped at the corner drugstore. A friend a mile away sends a Slack message: she was at the scene when masked men assaulted and abducted two people on the street. A plumber working on my pipes is distraught, and I find out that two of his employees were kidnapped that morning. A week later it happens again. An email arrives. Agents with guns have chased a teacher into the school where she works. They did not have a warrant. They dragged her away, ignoring her and her colleagues’ pleas to show proof of her documentation. That evening I stand a few feet from the parents of Rayito de Sol and listen to them describe, with anguish, how good Ms. Diana was to their children. What it is like to have strangers with guns traumatize your kids. For a teacher to hide a three-year-old child for fear they might be killed. How their relatives will no longer leave the house. I hear the pain and fury in their voices, and I wonder who will be next. Understand what it is to pray in Chicago. On September 19th, Reverend David Black, lead pastor at First Presbyterian Church of Chicago, was praying outside the ICE detention center in Broadview when a DHS agent shot him in the head with pepper balls. Pepper balls are never supposed to be fired at the head because they can seriously injure, or even kill. “We could hear them laughing as they were shooting us from the roof,” Black recalled. He is not the only member of the clergy ICE has assaulted. Methodist pastor Hannah Kardon was violently arrested on October 17th, and Baptist pastor Michael Woolf was shot with pepper balls on November 1st. Understand what it is to sleep in Chicago. On the night of September 30th, federal agents rappelled from a Black Hawk helicopter to execute a raid on an apartment building on the South Sho…

Kyle Kingsbury is not a journalist. He is not an op-ed writer.

He is a computer safety researcher.

And he has written one of the most compelling, comprehensive accounts of the ongoing hell in Chicago that you could possibly imagine.

Same. She was outstanding in that role.

Yea, but there are now more republican votes to release the files. Which is another reason that little prick hasn't called the House back.
I've been "politically aware" for 45 years. I've never fucking seen anything like the Trump years. Not even close.

Is Johnson 5 feet tall?

Yea, it's bullshit.
This also doesn't bode well for them holding anyone accountable for the crimes of the last 10 months.
Fucking cowards. Anyone that votes for this shit needs to be primaried.

Yes, the House has to vote on it as well.
And I was thinking the same thing. At some point he's going to have to reconvene the House, tho. I mean, JFC.

Primary every one of these cunts.

Hopefully it will convince their congregation to either:
Pressure the church leaders
Leave said parish

No.

Last night, the Trump Administration sent a letter suggesting Wisconsin should return our FoodShare payments.

She’s so great. Loved both episodes.

I can't imagine a scenario where I would believe anything these people said.

“Reaches deal” =

Caves to autocrat

95% of maga.

2021 tweet from Bethany Mandel: "I got an STD in my eye while I was at a rave in a bathhouse in Budapest and now I’m so old and boring that people think I do my cheating on my husband at a mother fucking playground. A PLAYGROUND. I’m sorry, it’s insulting. I know I’m a mom but DO BETTER."

She's objectively a really bad person.
I had to google the tweet from a long time ago as I'm not on that platform anymore. But this is an all time classic.

*When two dads run into each other at Costco* Dad: "uh oh, here comes trouble" Other dad: "I guess they let anyone in here" Both dads: <Tom Cruise laughing>

Dad jokes..

Wow. That was a journey. I don't even know how to comment, tbh. It's a lot to digest.

Also Ross Douthat: "Why aren't more American women Catholic?"

In this case - our money shoveled into the AI slop trough™.

and another thing: im not talking about govt backstops. please dont put in the newspaper that i asked for govt backstop.

AP called it already. 50 won.
Almost 2m votes counted and it’s at 62%

AOC: We have a future to fight for, and we're either going to do that together or you're going to be left behind. It's not about Progressive. It's not moderate, it's not liberal. This is about do you understand the assignment of fighting fascism right now? And the assignment is you come together…
