Guessing they have levels of stupid we haven’t even dreamed of yet.

Trump notes his crowd is more enthused about bigotry than they are for tax cuts: "It's amazing how strongly people feel about that. I talk about cutting taxes, people go like that, I talk about transgender everybody goes crazy. Five years ago you didn't know what the hell it was"

George Wallace in 1962: "I started off talking about schools and highways and prisons and taxes and I couldn't make them listen. Then I began talking about n**rs and they stomped the floor."

👀The federal judges in West Virginia, where ICE has been pulling over and detaining people on the freeway, are literally screaming about ICE's tactics.

"It is an assault on the constitutional order," Judge Goodwin says. storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

i've decided not to listen to the audio of a teacher reporting a kindergartender because frankly I don't want to become the person that that event would turn me into. but one thing I hope we are collectively coming to grips with is what it meant that we have lived among such people this whole time

When you wonder why I castigate my fellow citizens more often than our leaders, consider that the United States is *this far* from war with a nation of 90 million people and no one seems to give a hoot.
It's not like they don't know; ten minutes of watching the news would tell them.

Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature
YouTube video by The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Rep. James Talarico On Confronting Christian Nationalism, And Strange Days In The Texas Legislature

Chaser: the 15 minute interview Colbert did with Talarico and posted to YouTube. (The FCC should really know who Barbra Streisand is by now.)

My thoughts on Stephen A Smith potentially running for president are:

Could we please stop fucking electing celebrities and get back to the business of running the country with boring people who just want to do a good job.

Thanks

A better question is how can 1984 be 42 years ago? #old

Can you call a charge when the other dude is running into you? Weird. I am not a college basketball fan, but that seemed terrible.

Every American to the left of Susan Collins is somewhat responsible for the murder of Charlie Kirk, but it’s unclear if the President is responsible for the video he posted.

I know we’re so far past even considering the possibility that Republicans ever actually believed in the Constitution, but it’s a useful thought experiment to read this article as if it was about Biden using technology developed by a billionaire donor to surveil anti-abortion and 2A activists.

Madel: "We have citizens because of the color of the skin are carrying papers. That is antithetical to everything our country is about. I want my daughters to know I stood up and said 'no.' It's far more important that I said 'no' to this than I become the Republican gubernatorial candidate."

A hideous, unbelievable insult to our allies, who suffered a full third of the war dead in Afghanistan. And this from a soulless swine who knows everything about using his bone spurs to stay all the way back, entirely off the front lines.

Every day, he shames the United States as a nation.

I made the mistake of going to the espn webpage this morning and there were multiple “must trade Giannis now” stories. Pass.

Trump’s Most Dangerous Gambit His irrational obsession with Greenland could lead to global conflict.

Danish and Greenland ministers just left the White House. It did not go well.
I have a long discussion here of Trump's attempt to get Greenland and why it could lead to World War III.

I really don’t think the fans were booing Giannis. They were booing the rest of the team’s lackluster effort and performance. Down 30+ before halftime probably warrants some booing.

Perfect world they hire Harbaugh and keep MLF as OC, Hafley as DC, and get a new ST coach. It will never happen, but I can dream.

“I’m here” isn’t exactly a ringing endorsement. Imagine someone asking if you’re happily married. “I’m here” gets you sent to the couch or worse 🤣
