Enough with the threatening. Do it.

By not playing the video you are protecting Kristi Noem from prosecution under the Hatch Act. Way to go, you woke bastards.

Hatch Act violation. But nobody cares.

Citation is an art. I'm stealing this one (for an epigraph of something not yet written): it's gnomic, comic, and suits the times we're living in.

Then contact the white house and tell them that Democrats agree not to include health care for immigrants in a negotiated bill. Guarantee it. Simple.

My favorite part of today's speech was Trump leaning on the Generals to use their connections & influence to whip up sales of U.S. made armaments and weapons to foreign countries, as if they were Fuller-Brush salesmen. Perhaps he thinks he can co-opt them thus--by paying them a sales commission.

I heard this sculpture is called "Moving the Goalposts"

Yes Mr. President, by all means, go into Chicago. Black women with MAGA hats are inviting you. Ball is in your court now, friendo.

He's ideally suited to do it. Chicago rules.

I wish someone would take up the taxpayer angle on all these silly moves by Trump. We, all of us, are paying for this theater that does nothing but provoke court cases (more tax dollars).

Unserious click-bait journalism at its finest: "Six months into his term, the Trump administration is veering toward what some say could be a constitutional crisis."

This is why J.D. Vance is a sub-human ratfucker. He's clearly lying out his ass, and he knows it, to try and demonize the opposition party. Everyone knows that the Epstein scandal is non-partisan, but there he is. Makes me think he knows Trump has serious liabilities.

Trust me, they're overrated (not to mention the legal costs)

Just some math. Trump carried TX by 57% to 42% for Harris. Right now TX Dems hold 13 of 38 house seats in Congress, or 34%. Fair redistricting should give TX Dems 40% of house seats. But no, Trump n' Abbott want to shift 5 more seats to Republicans, leaving Dems with 22% representation. Bullshit.

It would be worth celebrating if Robin Ventura was a bad guy. But he wasn't. He got halfway to the mound and started to have second thoughts, then got a beating. Sure it was a spectacle, but I'd rather not celebrate two guys doing what they had to do according to a bygone hit-by pitch-ethos.

Swear to god how fucking stupid MAGA if they didn't see this developing. There's a good chance Maxwell (and other actors) have solid evidence against Trump. Also good chance they trickled some of it out last week to make a point. Also good chance that "pedo rings" are, at root, blackmail rings.
