Mike D in Long Island

* Treating the moment like

At present, the only agenda that matters is to stop the administration that is shredding the Constitution and running an authoritarian regime.

That’s it. If you don’t stop that, there is no agenda that matters.

And treating the months anything else minimizes the threat.

I mean, there is no universe in which they are the same.

That must go really hard if you never studied Reagan.

I think he wants to meet the moment by putting forward the best candidate possible as measured by the only criteria that matters right now - who can win?

Have no fear, Republicans will bail you out at some point with a huge chunk of taxpayer money to pay you for not being able to sell your products because of their policies. Then you can post on social media that you’re voting for them because you are against socialism.

I think a very small percentage of Jets Twitter accounts have made it over here. I can only imagine the anxiety of those that haven’t right now. 😂

Maybe Twitter needs a Department of Efficiency 😂

Donald Trump has disgraced the United States of America in countless ways since he first entered political life ten years ago.

But he had never disgraced the nation as badly as he did today.

He has brought shame on this country to an extent I had never thought possible. And he has only just begun.

This seems really significant. The Judge will want to know how the error occurred and who fed the lawyers inaccurate information. Government lawyers are trained to make sure their representations to the court on material matters are truthful and accurate. Judge Kelley is unlikely to be pleased.

JUST IN: Judge Amy Berman Jackson becomes the 5th judge *today* to block an aspect of Trump's early-term orders, this time the firing of ethics watchdog Hampton Dellinger. And night isn't over. yet ...

When it’s going great…

Elon Musk arguing with all of the MAGA influencers and trolls who want to eliminate the Department of Education and think women came from a man’s rib, that Americans are too stupid to work in STEM on the app he bought to amplify them, is peak reap-what-you-sow discourse.

Santa might just have more treats in his sack.

In can get far, far, worse.

Far worse.

PLAY IT NOW!

PLAY IT NOW!

I’m very sorry that your family member suffered. That’s awful.

We’re either a nation of laws or we’re not. We can’t just sanction murder when we think people have a good reason to be upset.

Society will unravel.

They are going to get that care by murdering the CEO? Is that how that works?

What other scenarios are you prepared to sanction murder as an appropriate course of action?

Counterpoint: in a functioning democracy, all we have is the rule of law. You want to go after insurance companies through legal means, political means, legislative means, go for it. You don’t right civic wrongs through murder.

“Risky endeavor”? Are you suggesting he mount a legal defense that he preceded the killing with a declaration of war?

It’s murder. Murder is, you know, a really bad crime. Can I help you?

Okay, well, I guess we’ll just have to green light any extrajudicial killing that is performed in support of a societal problem. Should work out great.

Nope. We needed a wartime president.

How does one set the immortality of extrajudicial killing aside, exactly?

The minute we do that, we are no longer a functioning society. We’re cavemen.

This is the way. If Republicans are going to confirm her, make it come at a steep political cost. This is how you fight.

Bold call but the right one. Trust your team to gain a yard to end the game.

“You can keep the dime?”

Comforting to know a billionaire so easily misled by misinformation is going to be in charge of finding efficiency in the largest bureaucracy in the world.

When he passed, the story about Mike Breen’s dad just killed me. Truly amazing guy.

They won’t ever make one like him again. I wish I got to see him play in his prime.

Well, sure, if you’re going make a Constitutional case out of it.
