really showed us, by making the worst example imaginable of the neoclassical architecture they're (allegedly) obsessed with

well, look, he did such a good job of policing them bef-
ha
haha
hahahahahaha

okay but look when it came down to it he'd EVENTUALLY disclaim them after they got too embarrassing.
now, this may have actually stopped zero of them from further pursuing Republican politics, but

okay I know it's not "politically correct" to ask but are Montantans civilized enough to govern themselves, this is the second freak they've elected who simply can't hold himself back from assaulting someone

running a governor for senate might've made sense on paper, it's working other places, but if you're paid to do this I think you gotta spend at least a minute checking
- do they *want* to run (?)
- are they actually popular still
... and apparently he didn't?

At least happy to see Collins approaching Trump unfavorability, I'd hope she'd need a bigger split than that to save herself

perhaps Jesse Singal and ally accounts making up stuff (and all the calls for others to kill themselves) radicalized people? the NYT simply must run 100 articles asking if Jesses Singal really belong in society before we can get to the bottom of this bsky.app/profile/joho...

just today I was seeing "well perhaps he was merely polarized into virulently crusading against trans people because people made up stuff about him" so by that bar I believe you're allowed to write one thousand op-eds asking if Jesses Singal should be allowed in our society

Glad we're finally not shackling American power with woke and gay notions like "telling our allies so they don't shoot our own planes down"

her pastor won the nomination for her seat!

eh, given polling swings, all the leopards-eating-faces, even businesspeople reacting in shock early that "the tariff man constantly yammering about tariffs... wants to raise all the tariffs!?"
I have to accept some people did in fact believe "well, he didn't mean THAT."
Or that somebody'd stop him.

she might not get as low as sixth this time, but I have faith in her ability to lose even more somewhere else!

We need to do harm reduction, Democrats must offer fixed-cost anime waifus to young men to redirect gambling impulses to something that could possibly be moderately less harmful to society and their wallets than sports betting

we took fanfiction tags for actual marketing when clearly we should've taken the "long-winded light novel title in place of description"

I guessed $10k, before second-guessing whether that was way too low. So not as terribly off as I feared, just, you know, almost double that when not on sale.

one of my favorite takeaways from a Revolutionary War era history class was that the colonial army tried a brief "surely Canada will greet us as liberators and join us" before being rebuffed, it literally predates the United States!

I don't know that anyone (well, besides reactionaries themselves, I suppose) has ever actually been rewarded *for* doing this? Seems all downside either way.

I feel like if anything, THIS is what "bombing Iran quietly" looks like: not building up to it, barely trying to justify it, brief presidential statements, not even making as much Contentβ„’ from it as their murdering random boats once things went wrong

It's still pretty hard to miss!

I think there were signs she would probably have done *better* even there even though it's a shame she wouldn't say anything, but it's pretty bad that Ds get no trust (for some understandable reasons) while so many trusted Trump wouldn't do anything he said he'd do (for no understandable reasons!)

"cost of living" is so funny
"let's not focus on how we might make gas more expensive, focus on how we, whoops, made everything else more expensive"

has TCW introspected and drawn a conclusion once in his life?
impressive to write three memoirs without, I'll grant, but

I mean, you gotta hand it to the NYT writers: they're obsessed with people mostly over 18, which is better than you can say for a lot of Republicans!

I do think he sincerely believes Trump is too low-class and incompetent to realize the immortal ethnostate of his dreams and he'd rather somebody superior was in his place.
Which absolutely does not make him an ally, or even opposed to any given thing Trump does!

Honestly not sure if Dems even enter into their calculations at this point, seems like half of it is just "wait for the markets to close so any news won't spook them", which reflects even worse on Congress

I wish we could've been doing something better for the 250th, but I have to admit making basically every point of the Declaration of Independence an issue to fight for is...
well, pretty hacky writing. but I gotta believe symbolism that bad's not good for them.

Not really the point but... the "coolest vice president" in recent history pretty easily had to have been Biden, right?
I mean, they can't all have an Obama, but Vance wishes he had one meme that wasn't derogatory.

I think Jay Jones winning rattled online republicans so much because it's the first real sign we've had that there IS in fact a decent constituency for [redacted], or at least who don't care too much if [TOS violation]

Online lib/lefties have gotten so used to censoring they were totally unprepared

it's true Dems may have to win over some casually bigoted people... and he's still not worth listening to there, because he commands no army of voters who are as much of freaks as he is!
just a bunch of the media, apparently. unfortunate!
