Also fuck you Texas for doing this, invading another state with armed troops; lone star Republic my ass

"He charged Trump for official acts he took as president" is completely false, Roberts lying about that notwithstanding. He was not prosecuted for an executive order, or vetoing a bill, or issuing a pardon, etc. He was prosecuted for crimes he committed while president, but in no way *as* president.

Another Kavanaugh stop

I like Patrick so this is respectful disagreement. Bit IMO once it’s clear that the Supreme Court’s rulings lack credibility, then it’s just up to Democrats to decide whether help the Court get that credibility back. I don’t think they’re obligated.

If their rulings lack credibility and integrity and they’re simply bowing to Trump, then they’re counting on Democrats respecting their authority later. And maybe it will work that way. But I’m not sure it should.

They’ve crossed it. There’s no way these 6 would have been *or will be* as deferential to a Democratic administration. That’s on them, not us.

have said this before but i am very skeptical about weiss’s vaunted charisma

It’s not unheard of for embers to get buried in the root systems. It wouldn’t be the first fire to restart that way.

Fire departments can probably learn something here. But it doesn’t move the blame even one millimeter.

But if this is how it happened: it’s still just rage inducing. You don’t have an open flame anywhere near brush like this. 3/

Important to note: it wouldn’t have been set during the windstorm. He wouldn’t have known that was coming. 2/

The most destructive fire in Los Angeles history, apparently set intentionally. Pointlessly. 1/

It’s fine if she takes down the GOP first. 3/

I don’t want this woman on my side. But I’m fine if she realizes her pointless toxicity can’t be turned to policy and she just becomes disillusioned with politics completely. But…2/

Not just her, but tons and tons of right wing voters around the country have been drawn to the GOP by conspiracy theories or the personality cult around Trump. That’s been awful for the country. But the GOP, which has an extremely unpopular establishment agenda has really capitalized. 1/

What’s dangerous about a lot of these right wing loons for the GOP is that to the extent they’re true believers, they’re true believers in things other than the establishment GOP agenda. What got her motivated was Qanon.

Uh…

Reminder: The only issue raised as to competence in 2024 was whether the other guy was too old. Not one fair minded observer can say Trump’s competence was litigated by the press.

“Who”

His mind is gone. But also: he never knew what this means.

Is David French still with this outfit?

It’s also not like right wing culture warriors are interested in infrastructure

Taliban stuff

The interesting thing about this devoutly and openly religious man is that he doesn’t just lie a lot. *It’s that he very rarely tells the truth.*

Screenshot depicting posts on X, one showing the suspect accused of starting the Palisades Fire, a white man. The X news tab reports on the suspect's arrest, but shows a photo of a black man instead.

Jonathan Rinderknecht, a white man, was charged with starting the Palisades Fire. But on X, the company's news summary tab shows a photo of a black man.

This really is low hanging fruit for the press. If they’re not pressing him on it, it because they’re covering for him.

The Speaker of the House has firm views that Bad Bunny is a terrible pick for singing at the Super Bowl, but hasn't had time to watch the President's speech to our military leadership or form an opinion whether furloughed federal workers should be paid or Illinois' governor should be thrown in jail.

really can’t say enough about how mike johnson is a sniveling little coward of a man. a bayou-bred pushover with a dignity deficit that would embarrass renfield

Thanks!
