Vituperative Erb

I remember my son just toddling around trying to stick a magnet to various things and going through various theories: it sticks to hard things, vertical things, things the color of the fridge, etc

It is very fun and interesting to watch kids that age make reasonable but incorrect guesses about how things work

Andy, if you’re going to make something up could you try to make up something more interesting?

The DOJ only tracks indictments, not dismissals, so a third option is that this is the informal compromise between management and the line prosecutors

The number of you people with the stones to do this asymptomatically approaches zero

Hugh Thompson is one of the greatest Americans ever to do it

We got bigger boys that this in the Midwest

Yo what the fuck

Man fuck off

It is a crime in Illinois to point a gun at someone

Is the president imposing a trillion dollars in new taxes on his own authority and then using it as a slush fund a major question? Who can say?

Immigration agents become increasingly aggressive in Chicago Activists, residents and elected leaders say increasingly combative tactics used by federal immigration agents are sparking violence and fueling neighborhood tensions in the nation’s third-largest cit...

The scenes out of Chicago should outrage us all. These federal agents are out of control, committing senseless acts of violence & putting everyone at risk.
 
American citizens are being detained & brutalized.
 
This kind of immigration "enforcement" shouldn't be acceptable to anyone.

Relatedly, anyone got a book rec for a history of the English Civil War? I’ve listened to the Revolutions podcast season

What possesses you people to think you need to tell a grown man stranger to wear a bike helmet

It makes you think

Never before has the United States had an Attorney General and FBI Director who openly serve the president personally as he works to break laws rather than enforcing laws for the country, Constitution, and American people.

I don’t know if any previous one even said “the president’s agenda.” Ever.

My bad he was beheaded

They hanged Charles I for this shit

Hey buddy what did he do after he left McKinsey after the minimum commitment the career office tells you that you need for your resume?

Ignore for the moment Bondi's seeming confirmation that FBI does have the pics from Epstein's safe and that's (one thing) they're covering up.

But take a step back and consider how inappropriate it is for the AG to wail bc someone said mean (true) things about the President.

His brain doesn’t appear to work good

Trump: "We call them the water drugs. The drugs that come in through water. They're not coming. There are no boats anymore. Frankly, there are no fishing boats. There are no boats out there period, if you want to know the truth. Does anybody go fishing anymore?"

very cool that if you are working on behalf of right-wing culture warriors, you no longer need standing to have your claim adjudicated by the supreme court

Buttigieg, famous dodger of questions

What interview was that

Lol

Like it is true that I cannot dispute that you have imagined a hypothetical future Buttigieg where he did different stuff than he said and also that you personally get a neoliberal vibe from him, but I’m not sure what you expect me to do with that, I kinda need to go with things he actually said

Ruben Gallego on whether Trump is talking to Democrats:

“Look, the President clearly has some kind of dementia, so I think there's a he's probably talking to himself, or think he's talking to a Democrat, but I sincerely doubt that that's actually he's actually physically talking to a Democrat.“

Lol
