Imagine trying to convince someone a decade ago that this sentence would be a 100% literally accurate description of the American political situation.

The older I get, the more I realize that modern society functions essentially as a giant pyramid scheme of people mutually blackmailing each other into enabling and covering up the worst of human abuses, from genocide to child trafficking.

Politicians should probably get on Bluesky to get better in touch with the American electorate.

He knows he won't live to see a third term. This is all bluster so we don't realize he's a lame duck.

He lied. I know y'all are addicted to the passive voice, but c'mon. This is weak, even for NYT.

"What appears to be"

NYT passive voice is a helluva drug.

Is there anything weaker than alpha male bravado? Unlikely.

They're so scared of how big turnout is going to be. Good.

I always defer to Rick Wilson's axiom: Everything Trump touches dies.

They really think this 'hate America rally' line is working.
It is. But not how they think it is. Thanks for making sure media actually covers these protests, Mikey. We appreciate it.

JD Vance (41) defending hate speech from 40 year olds by saying "kids will be kids" is some weapons-grade telling-on-yourself

No. It's going to be worse.

The GOP always stays on message, but now the message is insane so they sound insane.

I reached out and Palm Springs International Airport has confirmed they will not be airing the video as it violates California law and the Hatch Act.

The Toledo/Bowling Green rivalry was always funny to me. BG deeply cares about it, Toledo never thinks about BG. And yes, I know, no one thinks about Toledo. That makes it all the more amusing

only good thing out of that university (I may be biased as one of my best friends in high school was one of the first graduates of that degree and has put it to excellent use as a curator at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. She wrote the excellent companion book to the current SNL exhibit.)

I had completely missed Angie Stone's passing. Two gigantic losses. What great artists.

OAN is the only one to sign on. (Not sure about RSBN)
