I guess @GOP are no longer blaming election outcomes on "rigging?"

When did that stop being a thing?

Sarcasm is usually the 3rd go to excuse Donald Trump uses.

If "I really don’t know the person" doesn’t work then he says"you’ll have an answer in 2 weeks" & then finally he says "it was sarcasm"

So you may have to understand I don’t really think it’s a very good look using sarcasm as a defense

When your profile claims that you provide "coverage of American authoritarianism" and then you ask for a "list of all the people," it makes me wonder whether your coverage of authoritarianism is as a proponent of its emergence in America

I'd like to think that's true, but a year until mid-terms is still a very long way to go

I’m afraid there will be lots of infighting within the Democratic Party that sees continued movement toward the polar opposite of MAGA rather than toward the center

Still, I'd be happy to see @GOP implode

Perhaps it would make more sense to begin a reconciliation project within the Democratic Party so those feeling as if Progressive Democrats fan flames of antisemitism are given reason to feel welcome in the party whose tenets they have long supported & championed.

Does that translate to Limerick?

Honestly, I don’t know how I’ve survived the last 10 years or so without getting real time information on the market imbalance at the close

I'd like to think in addition to rolling over in his grave each time her name is mentioned, Joey Ramone throws up just a little bit in the back of his mouth

“Jobs are booming” is Treasury Secretary-speak for “most-announced-job-cuts-for-a-full-year-since-2020.”

“Inflation is falling” is Treasury Secretary-speak for “inflation-is-at-an-eight-month-high.”

So many people were detained extrajudicially, were tortured, or died because of Dick Cheney. You can't get to the danger we're in now without everything he did. The weapons he helped forge are ones we need to take away from U.S. presidents forever.

Trump Weighs Options, and Risks, for Attacks on Venezuela

The great thing is when you’re in the running for a Nobel Peace Prize that opens up so many more options to you for attacking a foreign nation.

I just hope Trump won’t have to share his Nobel with the Department of War

And here I was thinking that Kimberly Guilfoyle presenting her diplomatic credentials to the Prime Minister of Greece was pretty much as low as we could sink today.

One would imagine for purposes of the art of the deal that setting anything in stone would be counterproductive, although I do wonder if quicksand is really a suitable alternative.

What exactly has Oklahoma Senator Mark Wayne Mullen done to create a level of credibility or expertise that has warranted so many featured appearances on @cnbc.com?

As Kimberly Guilfoyle assumed her new position as the United States Ambassador to Greece, one can’t even begin to imagine what were the "diplomatic credentials" she presented to the Greek Prime Minister.

I suppose knowing the dosage of Adderall snorted by Don Jr. has to count for something.

Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent calls for 5 brave Democrats to come across the aisle during @cnbc.com interview

Wouldn't it all be so much easier if 4 brave Republicans did that?

His soul and the figurative portion of his heart died sometime in the 1960s

@andrewrsorkin.bsky.social I start off each morning scrolling through the @nytimes.com (Obits first).

Based upon that activity it's hard to disagree with Karp's view that we are in the midst of a dystopian world and I shudder to think where it might be without $PLTR (I sold shares at $37!)

I'm prone to giving more of that credit to Lynne Cheney

Any life lessons gleaned from Dick Cheney by Liz can't be altruistic ones

Dick Cheney, Powerful Vice President and Washington Insider, Dies at 84

Is it too soon to recall what he horrible person he was & how he manipulated a totally inept George Bush during his 1st term, normalizing lying to the American people & helping create a straight line to the abuses of Executive power we now see?

Trump Doubles Down on Nuclear Tests. His Energy Secretary Differs.

Trump has the distinction of being able to fuck up everything in his personal & professional lives....so why would politics be different?

He is methodically debasing & destroying everything that made America great with monumentally bad judgment & horrible execution

RFK Jr. said he never heard of "autism" and now he's director of Health and Human Services

You might be qualified to be the next director of the American Dental Association

If your dentist is the one both writing the prescription and filling the prescription of the toothpaste for you you could be correct, but the scam is being run by the dentist.

You must have some pull over at CNBC… Is it possible to get Stephen Moore and Judy Shelton relegated to weekend infomercials?

I'd even trade for more Judd Gregg for less of the two of them

I never understand why Stephen Moore and Judy Shelton are still given oxygen on @cnbc.com

Probably part of a CBS legal settlement with Trump that they can't imply he's involved in any negative, unlawful, unconstitutional, illegal, unethical, indecent or immoral activity or anything construed as undermining democracy

Also, if discussing Trump & the weather they can't mention the Sharpie

@hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social A very basic question to ask of the American people & their @GOP representatives is how is a Republican enacted extension of tax cuts for the most wealthy different from a Republican blocked & Democratic endorsed extension of health insurance subsidies for everyone else?

It's really not a fairly posed question.

The reality is on the right side of the spectrum not all hate Jews, because they need Jewish people in Israel to fulfill Biblical prophecy

But on the progressive end of the spectrum it's nearly unanimous opposition to Israel as a cover for antisemitism

I will always remember where I was when:

- JFK was assassinated;
- LBJ announced he would not run,
- Mets won 1969 & 1986 World Series;
- Nixon announced he would step down;
- Keith Moon died;
- Challenger exploded,
- stock market crashed 1987;
- OJ Bronco chase;
- 9/11; and
- Jerry Garcia died

My DIL's father is a retired Episcopal priest. Her mother attended the Culinary Institute of America

Each year they post for family & friends their elaborate Thanksgiving day menu

This year, however, it’s a little different

It’s nice to see Christians who actually value the tenets of their faith

I lived off Northern Blvd & can still hear the victory horn honking procession lasting until about 2 am

I watched the games in a rocking chair with my 1 month old

How he wasn't thrown to the ground each time I jumped is a mystery

Between the Astros & the Red Sox it was an incredible post-season

Progressive Democrats are the expected political reaction to the MAGA phenomenon

Neither extreme movement is destined to survive

Eventually American voters come to their senses after dabbling with lunatic fringe populists

I only hope Trump's damage can be repaired in a single generation
