[slapping the trunk] this bad boy can fit so many us jet pilots

acting like bad policies are criminal defendants entitled to a court-appointed favorable oped. shut up. gtfoh

also like what, the opinion section is just a weather vane for whoever's in power? what's the utility of that to readers? save money on columnists and just print a WH press release in that case. this is just nonsense. cmon

this shit is really pissing me off. so like e.g. if the (not-all-that) fringe rightwing idea that we should repeal the 19th amendment gained wider purchase, it would be the duty of the NYT/national opinion pages to print columns about how women shouldn't vote? no one believes that. don't talk shit

"actually they have to run opeds about how bombing iran is good, even if they don't agree, because of The Rules of Journalism" please stop bullshitting us

also that's just not even how it works, when trump was saying put bleach and uv light inside your body we didn't get opeds saying that was a good idea. there's lots of stuff he does that's bad that doesn't get an oped and likewise lots of stuff biden did that was good that didn't, this is just a lie

that makes no sense

why

Really this is going to be a problem for any governing party

The reality is republicans are only happy with the economy under a republican president and democrats are always unhappy with the economy

In 2029 I think even in the dream scenario we'll see some impossibly apocalyptic economic polling bc democratic voters aren't as polarized as republicans

Percolating in the background of everything is that no one will ever be happy with the economy again

Frankly it's much closer to gavin newsom than zohran mamdani (ducks)

I guess in the sense that joe rogan is an extraordinary political communicator (which...let's not get into that). But in terms of what he's saying in the clip it's just the generic "democrats have abandoned the working class, we need to be the party of the working class" you hear all the time

big strong objectives, with tears in their eyes, trying to give me a kiss

this was an attempt to cargo cult the traditional trapping of the presidency into this clown show, but his brain could only do that for 20 seconds before donnie reasserted itself

I'm half expecting to wake one morning from uneasy dreams to find myself in the middle of a congressional campaign

How am I just learning today that both kat abu and platner were bartenders

Feel like if we don't get ICE to unmask masked police are going to become the norm

War ought to be the absolute hardest illegal unconstitutional abuse of power to do and instead it's the easiest

It would be worse if Trump could instantly make all his "HEREBY DECLARE" stuff real but still the situation we've constructed & accepted where the us war machine is just on a string pulled by the president and now the president is a madman is real bad

The president doesn't have the power to do either one of these things but it's funny that "throw the us military into an illegal war with iran" was effortless while everyone knew "cap credit card interest rates" was impossible & grandpa just saying stuff. And by funny I mean very dark

I think the answer is probably (3) which is that a lot of populist politics are ideologically incoherent and conspiratorial in a way that transcends whether they are left or right-coded, and that this is all downstream of the total aesthetization of politics, and the collapse of strong boundaries.

I hope you aren’t drunk and took your staff’s advice, Rashida and I don’t know this man and feel confident he didn’t care about us. Please restrain from drinking too much as you have been warned from your staff and stay off social media when you are drunk. I pray in his holy month you find peace and respect for your self,

uhhh oh my god

Yeah I've only seen silo and severance lol

The bombing will continue throughout the week OR until there's world peace. Whichever is... sooner?

Just so intolerable that these two criminals who walk around spouting pure lunacy as though it's common sense are in charge of anything

I doubt either statement makes any practical difference but trump saying "stay home, we're bombing" and netanyahu being like "go out, we're bombing" is another little indication that this is all madness conducted by maniacs

Emily has made the mistake of talking about how a trump military action makes no sense for its stated aims and will now be placed in the sky marchini contraption
