I think people who say things like this, especially prominent people with power, should be shamed and shunned and reviled — cancelled, if you will.

“Free speech culture” disapproves of that sentiment — says that it’s worse than what Ogles said.

Judge it thus.

Groypers on James Fishback’s insane campaign are now so misogynistic that they’re saying gay sex is straighter than heterosexual sex. www.thebulwark.com/p/james-fish...

a number of thoughts here:
- oh my god he admit it
- what happened to the reactionary group chat?!
- commonality here is that none of these inputs will offend their sensibilities by challenging their worldview one bit
- i expect a full pivot from this class to 'filter bubbles are great, actually'

NEW—In a phone interview, President Trump told me the war could be over soon: “I think the war is very complete, pretty much. They have no navy, no communications, they’ve got no Air Force.” He added that the U.S. is “very far” ahead of his initial 4-5 week estimated time frame.

Pete Hegseth to 60 Minutes over the weekend: This war has just begun!

Trump, today: "I think the war is very complete, pretty much."

The Free Press Book Club with Bari Weiss and Nellie Bowles was a fawning session over Nellie Bowles' book.

The guy failed at running casinos in Atlantic City, which in the 1980s was quite literally a license to steal money

Exclusive | Trump tells The Post there’s no reason to panic over Iran war oil-price surge: ‘I have a plan for everything’ “I have a plan for everything, okay?” Trump said in a brief phone interview on the 10th day of the joint US-Israeli war with Iran.

We get the government we deserve.

OMG they released the deposition videos where they revealed that these two DOGE bros were just feeding grants into ChatGPT and saying "tell me if this is DEI in less than 120 characters."

Today I learned from JD Vance’s muse that Iran’s Islamic, fundamentalist regime is a manifestation of the same leftist political energies as those which animate Brooklyn leftism. Ok dude, sure, whatever

I’m sorry, doing this in a baseball cap sold by your campaign store is deliberately disrespecting the dead.

I feel like we typically see these sorts of completely outraged opinions from federal judges a couple times a year across the whole country, maybe a little more often in last few years. Now, in cases stemming from Trump's immigration crackdown, judges are ringing the alarm bell several times a week.

This is what they mean when they say shit like "suicidal empathy."

It's just bloodlust. Not patriotism or deft military strategy. Just thuggery on a global scale.

Opinion | Why the latest racist, antisemitic college MAGA group chat points to the GOP's future Anthony L. Fisher Young MAGA activist leaders —the heirs to Charlie Kirk’s legacy — keep getting outed as bigots. And the right’s mostly just yawns.

A leaked Florida college group chat revealed TPUSA's chapter president — and other young Republican activist leaders — giddily using antisemitic, racist and fascist rhetoric.

The heirs to Charlie Kirk’s legacy keep getting outed as bigots. And the right mostly just shrugs.

I see a bunch of words but none of them appear to spell out "I believed Trump and was an idiot to do so."

One thing that’s always been wild to me is there inability to recognize who the bad guy is. Jessup, Patrick Bateman, Jordan Belfort. These guys consistently idolize the obvious villain.

Trump is completely indifferent to the potential of U.S. civilians being killed as blowback on his illegal war of choice.

I know a lot of Twitter discourse is about how you have to stay on Twitter or you'll have no influence on the general public and miss out on great ideas but I dropped in on X today and it's just a bunch of MAGA and heterodox pundits mad at Lindy West for being polyamorous.

Calling states "red" and "blue" based on presidential results not only ignores the partisanship of other statewide votes but also ignores how lousy those descriptors are at the presidential level.
