He needs to overemphasize the shh-iness of all of Tuckers S sounds a little more but the tone and cadence (and laugh) are perfect

Honestly Tucker's *Whole Fucking Thing* is so distinctive and easily mockable that I'm a little surprised it took this long

A decade and a half ago the right blamed Obama for the death of the Twinkie and it was treated as the demise of the republic to liberalism.

Anti-ICE Protestors Convicted in Federal Anti-Antifa Case

What would we call anti-antifa?

Do we have a word that describes a person who is anti-antifa?

Somehow three of the worst people who ever lived produced history's greatest internet interaction and one of them was dead at the time

This is in fact very bad and I will now be adding a promise to immediately pardon all eight bystanders on day one as a litmus test for any Democratic candidate

1) Yes, it is a war crime but
2) No, I don't think Pete Hegseth is smart enough to know what "no quarter" means and just think it sounds badass

Mike Johnson declines to condemn Republicans’ anti-Muslim remarks The speaker suggested his members meant to decry “Sharia law,” not the Muslim faith.

The text of the article acknowledges it, but the headline really should clarify that he declines to condemn the remarks because he deeply, fundamentally aligns with them.

Trump Says He Thinks Putin Is Helping Iran

As a college teacher, I get really tired of the infantilization of college students, in terms of the strength of their political commitments (especially for Gaza) and of their intellectual capabilities. I witness them maintaining both under extreme pressure not to!

They loved to wear pants.

Since joining the Death To Pants All Pants Must Be Destroyed movement they have felt betrayed and abandoned.
