"How much can we afford to lose while currying favor with Trump?"

"Well, not 20 billion. Maybe 4 or 5 if we're allowed to turn the screws on Argentina."

It's one big contribution for a tax cut, deregulation or unfair deal to be named later.

Emil Bove's future is likely going to be impeachment as part of a deal between democrats and republicans involving some unrelated piece of legislation.

Since the 2000 election democrats have mostly won on the back of republican calamity and that's going to be true this election cycle. Economically republicans will also be responsible for the enormous backlash against wealth and the unsustainability of life for most Americans. It's going to happen.

This unified strategy of reality denial confirms Trump lives in a bubble where supplicants lie to him endlessly and Stephen Miller is making all the decisions.

Democrats running for president should promise to end the DOJ tradition of negotiating financial settlements with corporate America for criminal acts. No more financial settlements for defrauding people or addicting and killing them. Corporate executives have to start going to real prison.

When the White House press corps didn't walk out when the AP was kicked out for not using Gulf of America Trump knew it was access all the way down and he could treat them any way he wanted. Ask a tough question, you're out and no one will have your back. Call someone "piggy" and nothing. Neutered.

Paramount has a do not hire list of actors who condemned Israel because of Gaza and these are their partners. Nothing means anything.

As the realization of what Trump is breaks maga's brains everyone else should prepare themselves for the credulous mainstream reporting on what these poor duped people are going through and how those on the left shouldn't be so smug and offer grace. Ugh, so many diner interviews in our future.

Republicans just don't want to say their policy for everything is be rich enough to afford housing, healthcare, education, food, a life, etc. or die poor, sick and homeless.

Fortunately for them the press will never ask them about this policy.

The wrong coast? Can't wait for the stories about the wrong coast from the Vanity Fair's West Coast Editor. At least the writing will be hilariously awful.

I used to love Vanity Fair. Everything about it was so cool. Now it's Olivia Nuzzied.

She's right. She was convicted of not creating a revolutionary new blood testing machine. She didn't do it.

Wait, so the secret elite child trafficking sex cabal was a republican false flag to distract attention from the republican secret elite child trafficking sex cabal?!

The venn diagram of not going to the movies and having dinner parties or adults interacting without children is probably a circle. Middle class movies in theaters disappeared with the middle class.

It makes sense that Kara Swisher is Nuzzi's friend. Her advice was probably "Okay, first you ingratiate yourself to power and make a fortune turning them into heroes. Then, when they turn out to be evil you make another fortune and yourself a hero by trashing them. Then collect your flowers."

If you want an eye opener listen to or watch on youtube The Focus Group Podcast with Sarah Longwell. You'll be shocked by different voting groups perceptions and motivations. @sarahlongwell25.bsky.social
