Well, well, well...

Far more likely a bit of aspirational fuhrerprinzip on Pirro's part.

"I had always hoped that this land might become a safe and agreeable asylum to the virtuous and persecuted part of mankind, to whatever nation they might belong."

This is literally what CURRENT LAW requires. It’s in the Constitution! www.politico.com/news/2026/02...

Short of a full bore military coup...that they don't have the resources to launch...it only matters if control of the House comes down to a few seats.

That is not the scenario that's currently unfolding.

This.

This is what cultural exhaustion looks like...and it's entirely confined to the right:

This:

Year Zero but in the dumbest most performatively possible way...

Screenshot of Elon Musk post on Ex: “Elon Musk y X @elonmusk For those unaware, Space has already shifted focus to building a self-growing city on the Moon, as we can potentially achieve that in less than 10 years, whereas Mars would take 20+ years. The mission of SpaceX remains the same: extend consciousness and life as we know it to the stars. It is only possible to travel to Mars when the planets align every 26 months (six month trip time), whereas we can launch to the Moon every 10 days (2 day trip time). This means we can iterate much faster to complete a Moon city than a Mars city. That said, SpaceX will also strive to build a Mars city and begin doing so in about 5 to 7 years, but the overriding priority is securing the future of civilization and the Moon is faster.”

BREAKING: “in my 24th year of my quest to settle the planet Mars, I have just been informed of a basic fact of celestial mechanics.”

Culture always wins:

Just 4% of the people who watched the halftime show choose to watch the MAGA cultured version:

Remember: culture always wins.

Donald Trump has turned America into a violent fascist kleptocracy. But the NFL just forced some culturally unfamiliar music upon me. I have never felt more politically homeless.

I'm hardly the first person to note this, but it's enormously instructive that our President and his followers saw the message "THE ONLY THING MORE POWERFUL THAN HATE IS LOVE" and understood it, correctly, as an attack on them

Not only was that halftime show kind of great (the couple was actually married right there on stage) but they helpfully translated into English the most important message many Americans need to remember right now:

Bad Bunny Stuns the Super Bowl With Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin and a Real Wedding Ceremony as Pedro Pascal, Jessica Alba and More Party on Stage Bad Bunny staged a Super Bowl Halftime performance for the ages on Sunday, with Lady Gaga, Ricky Martin, an elaborate set and a real wedding.

Variety confirms the wedding in Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show was real

Rohan Nadkarni @RohanNadkarni This is incredibly cool — A source familiar with Bad Bunny’s performance tonight tells me that the couple in the halftime show got married for real. They invited Bad Bunny to their wedding and in turn he invited them to get married during his performance.

Normalization is a hell of a drug:

Magnifique.

What the Russians taught Epstein

This: unherd.com/2026/02/what...

The important thing to take from this is not that Trump has any real sensitivity towards those he considers to be of his class.

It's that he knows that leverage is valuable and the Epstein files continue to provide plenty of it.

And the Bezos laundering has begun:

WaPo editorial board when TX imposes a legislative gerrymander: don't freak out guys! Not a threat to democracy!

When VA responds to TX with *referendum* on their own gerrymander: brass-knuckled hypocrisy, anti-democratic gamesmanship.

There is hypocrisy here, all right, but not from VA.

An insult.

"When there's nothing left, you bust the joint out. You light a match."

Fair. With this administration no bizarre situation is too unlikely.

Also..."CIA activities" is not the DNI office. Absolutely different things.
