Trump and Netanyahu are similar in that they are both very transactional. There is no long-term thinking. They don’t care about principles as long as the tactic they want to achieve in the short term gets done.

It just shows that it really wasn’t that hard to be informed and to say “no”. It says a lot more about the greedy and amoral a-holes who said “yes” and later made some lame excuse.

Trump Administration Live Updates: President Ousts Noem as Homeland Security Secretary

Great, so we replace a moron with the next moron on the list. Markwayne is an idiot.

The problem is there won’t be enough of those scientists left to make a difference.

Considering Trump wants to be involved in the decision, and the Iranians are certainly going to tell him to go fuck himself, the date by which this ends is clearly when Trump finally keels over.

Between you and Krugman, I’m not sure which one of you makes me more depressed.

This is not terrible timing. It is incompetence yet again.

Tell Wesley to please stop yelling into the mic or get a producer who can manage his levels. I love his passion, I get it, he gets excited and his volume goes up ( I do the same). But I am not on a podcast.

This is not “terrible timing”.

This is “incompetence yet again”.

It’s like being mostly dead.

How about, just report the fucking news with intelligence and courage and drop the stupid campaign no one will see, but someone in the marketing department will put on their LinkedIn resume as an accomplishment.

Some of us need to learn to accept (myself included) that we live on a timeline where a significant number of people think this guy is smart — ha ha, he owned that NBC reporter, ha ha.

Labor Secretary Is a Rare Presence at Department in Turmoil

Labor Secretary Is a Rare Presence at Department in Turmoil www.nytimes.com/2026/03/02/u... once again New York Times you’ve put your keen mind to the task and come to the wrong conclusion. The real story is why is this the only governmental Secretary under investigation?

Marvin was supposed to lead Iran?

So no pencil drawings of mobile chemical weapons facilities to present to the UN?

Our cat oddly likes that. I know it’s not normal, but she does.

Can we crowd source a new sign off for Paul rather than “have a nice day”?

Here is one suggestion, “Hang in there we can make it through this together“ or something like that.

However I am sure collectively someone can easily do better so just reply and let’s give him a solid list to choose from.

“Operation insecure masculinity.” Yes that’s the perfect name for it.

By the way, you need to find a new sign off. After all the gloom and doom of your post, “have a nice day” seems a little inappropriate. How about, “hang in there we can make it through this together“ or something like that.

YES TO THIS!!!

But then again every conservative columnist at the NYtimes would be well below the Mendoza line

Nailed it!

Congratulations, with a 7 day delay you belatedly win the internet.

HULK SMASH!!!!!

You were not alone in grabbing the dictionary. And you were twice correct because damn it, it’s Saturday morning!

Chances of a positive outcome given forced regime change coming from the outside is rare, combined with the mass incompetence of the Trump administration make the odds of a positive outcome less than slim

In math, when something asymptotically approaches zero, you just treat us as zero.

He’s always projecting what he would do when he accuses someone else.

I like Jasmine Crocket. But there is a big difference making sharp quips from the back bench for a congressional district vs stepping into a statewide senatorial race. Especially when your opponent is incredibly likeable and exceptional at making counterpoints with facts and a smile.

This is the same problem in healthcare where bad science and mouse studies in pay for play journals are considered just as credible as large peer reviewed clinical trials with placebo arms . This is also why AI will argue that Turmeric is good for all kinds of things beyond a good curry.

Especially with hindsight, how was removing Saddam a good idea unless you can answer the second half of the question of what would you have done differently that you think would’ve worked? It seems like any scenario where Saddam is removed ends up in a shit show.

It all depends on your success metrics.

If you are measuring the amount of quality news stories criticizing Trump that have been spiked as a key success factor, then I think they can report a 10 out of 10 on that metric to the board of directors.

And at this point, Mandami has conceded absolutely nothing other than a headline mock up. It’s a slippery slope that he may well end up sliding down. Is there anyone who hasn’t without upsetting the giant orange head?
