I hated Reagan…. And he was a step up especially in recognizing immigrants. Heck even Nixon knew to draw a line somewhere ….
I swear that’s why the faux outrage over the old news/highly suspect Minnesota cases - cases that like EVERY OTHER STATE were already being investigated and dealt with- in order to put up a great wizard of oz smokescreen to his the actual wide scale fraud and grift that Trump et al are doing.
Is it just me or are all the MAGA cabinet critters learning to make the same “mouth as anus” expression as Trump?
Apparently someone in her larger family -mother of her niece- was just detained for deportation to Brazil. And the top comments were variations on “I bet KL was the one who called ICE”.
Live your life so people DON’T immediately think of you like that.
I don’t like pecan pie… but I once made a dark chocolate pecan pie for my dad that was food of the gods.
Count me as one though who didn’t think it needed the Lord Byron quote to end it-I liked it paired with the creatures ending look-but just because the book was born out of that milieu doesn’t mean we have to continue the fashion of covering a woman’s work with a man’s reputation.
Bovino daring Gov Pritzker to join them in Little Village then skipping out of town when Pritzker showed up reminds me of my middle school bully who said they would beat me up after school-but suddenly had to get home when my entire bus load showed up behind me.
Ummm…from what I read he’s NOT one of those few giving in to vote yes.
They start with the premise -“moderates good, progressives bad” -and make everything fit that narrative with help from never trump republicans who want to take over the nest now that theirs is soiled.
True…. But after watching them vote for him AGAIN. And after hearing people believe lies, talk nonsense and elevate hate….i just don’t think there’s any long term solution that doesn’t involve a great deal of FAFO. otherwise we’ll get whiplash from people trying to keep throwing us backwards.
My pet peeve lately is when someone from England or Canada or Denmark does a scold about how could we let this happen -they would never- and I think about the racist thugs marching in England or Denmark trying to fen off the far right or Canada using our example to steer clear of the abyss…
He totally wanted to say “then give it to me”. Like a bully. So he could put it with “his” soccer trophy. “Mine. Mine. Mine”.
I had heard Ukraine is going to try to monetize its drone technology…and I wondered if Trump switched gears to try to get a piece of that. He’s like a locust towards money.
What in the heck are you rambling about?
I think we should respect anybody who “got into the arena” and Harris is not wrong-I am so fed up with the “not this woman” crowd and all the latent sexism. Even now I see some say women should stand down cause it’s too important. Love Pete. Love Kamala. Nobody should be making this a ‘thing’.
This is why I love being an artist-I CAN filter them out! 😀
It’s ridiculous these “context claims” -“no, never said black women lacked brain power -just a selection of some of the most successful, educated black women”.
It’s straight out of fascism playbook….and yet we are not supposed to say that?
In the copious amount of “can you imagine it reversed?” has got to be all Greg Gutfields unfunny defamatory jokes about Kamala Harris…and yet, Biden didn’t put pressure to fire him. Tell me again who are the ones who cancel and go after people?
And I don’t think she remembered the tea party or Sam Adams wild rovers or tar and feathering etc. nostalgia glasses that fake up history are the worst.
I think he would have been better to STAY in university.
He was at university for ONE semester four years ago. And anyone who knows Utah would find it ridiculous to think they are radical or indoctrinate left or promote violence.
As we go through one of those political tectonic shifts I find myself “liking” one of Kristol’s comments…. Are we in another dimension?
That was a great oped. I love Gessens reporting.
In my opinion it’s largely based on the manufactured gotcha questions, chopped responses for clickbait and reliance on pro forma answers. Pretty concerted efforts to discredit him but I’m not buying. This article is pretty good answer back:

The NYTimes a few days ago had an excellent oped with Mamdani fuller responses, not the chopped clickbait and gotchas they used to try to push antisemitism.

It’s not just our country it’s the world. Not all but too many everywhere. A commenter said “S Korea has a ways to go on women rights but at least they care about the welfare of their citizenry”. I said “women are HALF of their citizenry! So no, they don’t. “
This hardcore originalist stuff is more like thinking the constitution is a straitjacket and we are all stuck in amber. What an excuse for racism and hate. I’ll give the founders this-they knew they were f’ed up and they wrote it in the largest language they could so we could grow better.
Andddd….thats the last time your child will say anything meaningful or sincere or true to you as they wait out the years till they can leave home and not let you near their kids. Even if it wasn’t about themselves sooner or later they will know you aren’t right and distrust you.
People constantly miss this-they em bye him with smarts over and over. He’s dumb. And a conman. You don’t need smarts to be that-just a traumatic childhood and a psychotic intuitive sense of how to use people.
