You're willing to drag the world into deadly turmoil when your only reason for being in power it to avoid jail.

Congress has no fucking balls. And the Supreme Court is a bunch of sycophants. Our checks and balances aren’t checking or balancing.

Frost: For so long, the right wing has held up patriotism as a vibe, as an aesthetic. But patriotism is more than bald eagles and flags and beer. Patriotism is about loving the people who live in the damn country — every single one of them.

Homan: "We gotta stop the hateful rhetoric. Saying this officer is a murderer is dangerous. It's just ridiculous. It's gonna infuriate people more which means there's gonna be more incidents like this."

lesson learned from this thread: never interact with any rando on bluesky when they are so culturally and politically illiterate and flat-brained that a satirical and precise visual reference to one of the most famous anti-authoritarian images in modern history confounds or infuriates them.

Makes me wonder what 1 year of Skubal @ $30 million would cost.
January 10, 2026 at 4:56 PM
Yeah but a few million is peanuts if any of the guys in the deal end up being even simply contributors for a few years, no? Maybe Elias and get brewers to include Joey Oritz. D first utility inf would help ‘26 orioles.

Definitely hoping for a negotiating window if they have to give up that much. Still not sure how o’s got burnes for such a reasonable package. Inflation!

AOC excoriated Vance here.

Let’s see how the American public responds to Vance's “we believe young mothers should be shot in the street” political slogan.

After this week, that line will forever and always be JD's rallying cry.

So does this open up the possibility that a foreign power will unilaterally bomb us and take OUR president? Asking for a nation.

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.

We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.
