Well done. We went out for dinner last night. It was NOT not busy. πŸ˜†

Sadly, it's not. He's choosing to be this awful. That's worse.

They're not the brightest bulbs. And no one has enough courage to tell Trump how bad tariffs have hurt the people, the economy, and Presidents in the past.
To be fair, I'm pretty sure Hoover was a lot smarter than Trump and he thought they were a good idea, too. πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

It's appalling that people are intentionally choosing to follow trends and pseudo-medical advice that will make them sicker and endanger their children.

Thank you! And I agree it should be a lot closer, but I think it's more a reflection of who is choosing to participate in polymarket than reality. And then you have to factor in how little many people seem to care that Congress has abdicated their responsibilities. 😑

Thank you! That's good information and exactly why I think polymarket represents everything that's wrong with our culture and late-stage capitalism. πŸ™„

I'm not familiar enough with polymarket to really understand what this means. Is it saying that 63% of bets placed think the GOP will hold it and 38% think the Dems will take it? Or is it using past events to actually predict what will happen? And does that include Trump not accepting results?

11.02.2026 22:14 β€” πŸ‘ 1    πŸ” 0    πŸ’¬ 2    πŸ“Œ 0

I believe this is the issue. Can people even recognize consequences of everything is a bet?

I'll be generous and pretend he's talking about TSA, but that's still not an accurate comparison. TSA asks everyone for ID, not only nonwhite people. What a moron.

Awesome quote, and he's got a more classic country sound than most of those "country" artists you hear on the radio. πŸ˜‚

This is so amazing! And I'm so happy for Darnold. As a Vikings fan, I think they did him dirty last year. (I know he's too polite to say that to them.) Walker was on πŸ”₯ last night, so it's no surprise he's the MVP! 🀩

Sam Darnold’s Quiet Super Bowl Revenge An NFL survivor defies his noisiest critics to win a championship. He’d rather talk about his team.

I am so happy for Sam Darnold and the Seahawks. Plus, he seems like an amazing teammate and leader.

1. Trump's not smart enough for that.
2. Pretty sure these people suck enough on their own to be responsible for their awful actions.
3. Trump doesn't care what they do as long as he gets to do his ridiculous pet projects and gets rich.
4. He chose them because they suck up to him.

The scary ad tactic is what Republicans do, and it's gross. @jamestalarico.bsky.social, if you have any contacts with the PAC, tell them to do better and/or denounce the ad. Either of you would amazing. I will proudly vote for either. The real question is how do you want to win?

I don't know how PACs work and how much coordination there is between candidates and a PAC. I am appalled by the latest Lone Star Rising ad against @crockett.house.gov. I support @jamestalarico.bsky.social and believe that he has a better chance in the general election. But this ad is not the way.

That, sadly, says more about the United States than it says about him.

I miss political cartoons in newspapers. Every single reader of the Wall Street Journal needs that in their face.

Dear Thomas Massie and Rand Paul, does federalizing elections match with your Libertarian beliefs? You could become Independent and caucus with the Dems. They're currently the ones supporting states' rights.

Honestly, I would like to see him try to sue. Between discovery regarding the Epstein files, the fact he's a public figure, and Noah has freedom of speech, he would be laughed out of court
