Since they were only saving him from himself, I'm not sure how much credit it deserves. It's good for the country, but it's good for Trump too, even though he doesn't have the sense to know it.

It's challenging to take people seriously when I know that they would also support the Jersey Shore cast or Puck from Real World for president as long as they said mean things about minorities.

Remember when we thought Sarah Palin was the dumbest person in politics

A couple decades ago it may have been the world's best-smelling city thanks to Stella. Hopefully that's still true.

Andrew Johnson was horrible. But he had some redeeming qualities. He was plain and self-made, and he was almost uniquely loyal to the Union among Southern politicians. Even monsters have redeeming qualities. I'm not aware of any for Trump.

Exactly right.

Bovino's leaving? Great, get Noem to resign.

Noem resigns? Great, defund and dismantle ICE.

Go after Stephen Miller too. Bring charges against ICE thugs at the state and local level. Lawsuits. New state laws restricting them.

Every possible angle.

Marco Rubio is reportedly saying Maduro will stand trial in US courts.

Which means it’s now the US administration’s position that US courts can hold foreign presidents, but not the US president, accountable for crimes.

Hey man. My inheritance ran out.

Can you loan me some more money so I can keep being ruggedly individualistic?

Democrats are reluctant to adopt Republican post-truth tactics. But making Miller smaller in every photo without acknowledging it is spiritually appropriate.

The next Supreme Court term is shaping up to be the most consequential since 1937. Depending on how it rules, it may cease to be accepted as a legitimate arbiter, and even nullify its own power as an independent judiciary.

Luckily, Sinclair has a helpful database of all their stations, so you can see if they're operating in your area and respond accordingly.

My military officer friends have been passing Ghost Fleet by Singer and Cole amongst themselves. More a cautionary tale than a novel, but it nonetheless works in enough of a plot to be a good read.

Important to remember that everyone involved in renaming the DoD to the Department of War is afraid to take the subway.

The Good Guys won in the American Civil War.

The Good Guys won in World War II.

The Good Guys won in the Cold War.

If you don't believe these things, I really don't want to interact with you.

The maximum IQ for a Trump voter is 105. The minimum IQ to understand the concept of due process is 110.

Don't try to explain it to them. It's a hopeless task. You'll have more success teaching sign language to your hamster.
