A Doll In Every Pot

Trump is going to insist that declare that anyone who refuses to personally buy a ton of coal to keep in their backyard is un-American.

The funny thing is that the top of the article suggests that there's a conflict between ICE and the PD this guy worked for and you're like "Hell yeah! The thin blue line is finally working for us!"

But no.

The PD is just embarrassed they hired an "illegal" like "We checked e-verify!"

I guess you're better at reading minds than I am.

Starbusts!

I'm not sure what your point is.

Individual/small business health insurance would not exist in any appreciable way without the ACA, so...

Another similarity to Obama's 2008 campaign is the way he's able to message to disparate and conflicting groups that he is really "one of them" without angering anyone.

The term for this is cognitive dissonance. The brain makes some really wild leaps when a false belief is confronted with a contradictory reality.

It's striking the degree to which media narratives are entirely vibes-based bullshit.

American chattel slavery was like, one of the worst things humanity has ever invented

There's a reason Lincoln said that there was basically no limit on how much punishment a just and righteous god might inflict for it

Plenty of people died for secession, but afaict no one was ever punished for slavery.

"I sent those planes"

Netanyahu and Hegseth really did a number on him with the Iran bombing mission, didn't they.

I buy candy in the checkout lane "for morale"

Ew

Unfortunately, Ukraine is cursed to be the rocks on which Putin's Russia mindlessly dashes itself to pieces.

They can't hope that Russians will come to their senses. They can only hope that the inevitable collapse of Putin's corrupt regime comes sooner.

Not to get too hallmark-y, but it's good to remember that children create these moments all the time and are worth everything before and after.

"You should not inflict your terrible person on another woman" is a version of that wish.

Trump and his grifters do *not* want to do that. 50 years of billionaire money have molded a safe space for fascism into our democratic institutions.

These guardsmen and maybe even the governors might think that's what they're going to do.

It's a recipe for chaos.

He might turn out to be Fetterman, but Fetterman is better than Susan Collins.

Not casting aspersions, but people need to wrap their brains around the fact that this guy talking about strengthening unions and fighting the oligarchy in an ad that looks and sounds like he's pitching the Chevy Silverado is probably not going to endorse Mamdani in NYC.

eleventy billion reasonable things to hate the ADL for, such that if you get one-shotted into Leo Frank trutherism because some strangers on the internet said so, you’re a fucking idiot

No meaningful consequences last time.
No consequences at all this time.

Exactly.

Universities should be leaning harder into standing up for universities.

There's a fundamental problem with sending the "Dems" to fight battles on the side of institutions that have already surrendered.

The President of the United States said (in public, in the context of dying and going to heaven) "I'm hearing I'm not doing well"

Suspension of disbelief.

Truly.

Elizabeth Holmes is a symptom of VCs being credulous fools with no sense and too much money.

He knows he's been conned, but he doesn't understand it because, like every good mark, he's addled and simple and believes the conman's ideas are his own.

Appalling and shocking if you accept his premise.

Pathetic if you know anything about LLMs.
