He is aware that Woodrow Wilson re-segregated the White House and screened unironically Birth of a Nation? Or is that why he made it?

He would say, what would someone who knows what they are talking about say?

He acknowledges in this response that he has no clue what he is talking about and counts on his followers to just accept what he says as gospel. How did we get into this?

What a farse and colossal waste of public resources. Shame on all of them even if it is funny to watch these troglodytes try to make something of nothing.

Weird how used to it we have become, you know, to constitutional crises. This should be non partisan and congress should act in unison in opposition as should the courts. Shame on them all for threatening to toss it all for nothing.

He probably just means he hasn’t been told how to respond yet by his dear leader.

Who is even paying attention to him anymore? We know he is unethical and untrustworthy and says whatever. It’s not like he is going to have a moment where he becomes reasonable. It’s just an embarrassment and we hopefully will learn - I’m not confident

Been 15 years. Sounds like they just want to go back to what it was before the ACA to make it so the insurance companies don’t have to let sick people get in the way of their real job- collecting premiums. Bet he takes a lot of money from them

We have so many laws currently that are being broken with impunity. Absent an enforcement mechanism they are words on paper. We have an emoluments clause in the constitution and he does what he wants because he thinks he’s above the law. In a constitutional republic he is not. Integrity is lost.

David McCullogh wrote about Truman’s renovation in his biography. The records he reviewed showed that the White House had been in disrepair for years and these were to fix problems on the building that had accumulated over years of neglect. Not the same as tearing down the east wing for vanity.

It cannot be undone and he clearly went around all extant process.

Could buy a lot of ACA healthcare premium subsidies.

They should bill the family and his enablers for the demolition and repairs.

Hasn’t looked this bad since 1812 and the British did that.

Also, the substance of what he says is false. Petro was decertified for defending his own people from pesticides and militarization. He elicited aid and incentivized Colombians to fight against trafficking. It’s all political and the US admin wants a return to pliable dictatorships in Latin America

Sheet pans don’t go in the dishwasher and no one likes to wash them making them more work. Always a compromise to get everything on one pan.

So performative. The actual economic indicators (except the stock market) are all substantially worse than they were this time last year. The stock
Market is the same. Things for the 1% will get much better next year because of stock buy backs. This shit show is careening toward recession.

Enforcement of the constitution is what matters and that is in doubt right now.

Why is it even remotely relevant that he is a federal agent? Are they above the law? What kind of corrupt system tolerates such nonsense. He was arrested in assuming but that he said this as a way to be set free when visibly drunk slurring and stumbling. What a joke.

Come on NYT. There is no substance to this “proposal”. Where are the actual numbers. It’s all steep discounts. Did he reduce the cost 1500% again.

Why did we need new trade policies when the old ones worked well? Also it’s President Biden not Joebiden. Have some respect for the office Brooke

Now do Virginia.

the Argentine bailout is for investors and banks. It will do little for Argentina but it will give relief to investors who lost their shirts. So when Milei’s successor fails they can blame the “left”. He will lose but the failed neoliberal tricks have done the harm. No shift can fix it fast.

No one who can be baited by a tweet - I think that is what she said a decade ago - has the temperament to be president.

Not a great day to be a Buffalo fan today. The Bills and the Sabres both have an inability to score and a crisis of confidence.

This team should be 6-0 going into the break. How they look this inept is unreal.

Can’t get worse I hope

Josh seems to be throwing the ball awkwardly. That is concerning.

The MIT leadership seems to have followed the advice of AAUP-MIT who wrote an excellent rebuke of the letter sent by the feds. This is the way. There is no good faith restriction on academic freedom, it’s all an attack on the academy.
