Kristi Noem blasts “foreigners” for dangerous driving. According to the Rapid City Journal, that state’s court records show Noem had 20 speeding tickets dating back to 1989, alongside other violations, including failure to stop at an intersection and invalid license plates.

Trump's aesthetic has always been more "Eurotrash" than any kind of American, rich or poor, urban or rural. His real estate tenants were international money launderers and wealth-off-shorers. He was elected by mobilzing political grievance, not for his taste.

Your post is about as grounded in American reality as those European cartoon maps where everything between CA and NY is labeled Texas

A packed crowd erupts into chants of “USA! USA! USA!” as Mikie Sherrill speaks at her Newark campaign rally

Trump’s America: FBI Director is taking govt jets to watch his girlfriend sing, president is in Palm Beach holding Great Gatsby balls after golf, we are murdering people in boats while refusing to show proof of guilty, govt is shut down, airports are a disaster, prices are up.

Not up to the standard.

The person who is currently running our country has lost his mind and it’s time we start talking about it.

Media must cover — not cover up — Trump’s unfitness The president benefits from the failure to focus on his broken brain

I wrote this week about Trump’s mental unfitness and how the media keep trying to soften the hard truth.

Shouldn't you all just pitch in to create one Alt. Governent feed commenting on & critiquing the current admin's misdeeds like a British shadow cabinet?

Strange bedfellows indeed… the kind democracy needs.

I don't know about that. The term "elites" used in this sense came into fashion about 15 years ago in youngish leftish "policy" and media circles to describe people like themselves .They were always spineless.

Yes, but with a caveat: like a lot of narcissists he actually despises the family he pretends to love and finds humor in the idea of their fall after he's gone. So the dictatorship only has to last as long as him, and he knows his days are numbered in the low hundreds. Hence the funerary monuments.

This has been such an Illuminating part of our current moment:

It’s revealed just how unwilling those with actual power are to even just ask tough questions, while highlighting how willing pajama-wearing suburbanites are to physically drive off guys armed with actual guns.

I know this fascist shit is doomed when I see late 50s and early 60s white guys in their Costco Shopping Finest screaming ‘fuck you’ in DHS officers’ faces

Since when does a congressperson Rep need or deserve this kind of treatment?

"break with tradition" is such a pathetic and cowardly way to describe a consolidating dictatorship hiding from the people in a bunker. Shame on Joe Kahn and the latest, lamest Sulzberger.

The good news is that the military almost certainly despises him and won't lift a finger on his behalf should the civil unrest he stokes actually erupt.

Also a remarkable testament to what pussies they are. Real Republicans like TR accepted the hazards that came with public life and went out in public all the time. Losers and cowards cringe in bunkers.

Maybe for all her flaws she is authentic and sincerely believed the BS before and now sees a bit more clearly. Sincerity wd separate her from 98% of GOP colleagues.

That's discouraging, as my main activity is liking your posts.

If you let someone cut in front if you in traffic and they don’t do the little hand wave as thanks, you should be legally allowed to ram their car.

With respect, why with respect? And why amplify a bad-faith actor?

Why amplify?

Definintion: "a moment when you realize somebody much smarter than you is going to speak honestly and intelligently and not indulge your bad-faith baiting"

both @markjacob.bsky.social and @mediaanddemocracy.bsky.social are doling out media grades and I say, More of this please!

to the left of @nytimes.com's front page in June was another journalism crime: Melissa Hortman did not "die"... she was murdered.

FOX: Pritzker has asked you specifically to pause immigration enforcement operations in Chicago so kids can safety celebrate Halloween. Do you have any plans to alter activity tomorrow?

NOEM: No. We're gonna be out on the streets in full force and increase our activities to make sure kids are safe.

We've seen this movie before. (In fact, you co-wrote it. Bush admin replaced State Dept-vetted administrators with Heritage-vetted boobs, sacked Iraq Army. Recipe for creating an effective insurgency.
