I would like for national political reporters to place a moratorium on “But what will voters in the rest of America think about New York City’s socialist mayor?” We don’t care! Red states are notably full of psycho politicians yet rarely do you see pundits asking Brooklyn people about them.

This piece is embarrassing. The tea party's deficit stuff was always a mask for out-of-the-mainstream ideas about race, gay people and immigrants. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...
In Trump’s GOP, the once-mighty tea party is hard to find
Since the movement upended politics 15 years ago, Republicans have sharply changed direction under MAGA — with many tea party veterans along for the ride.

World Series is a painful reminder of 1997, when Cleveland was up 2-1 in the ninth inning of Game 7. Marlins tied it, won it in 11.

Sometimes I miss doing bad things
Whether it's alcohol, cigarettes, or secret rebellious stuff, being a "good kid" has never come easily to me.

It's of course not the point, but Trump doesn't even have the sense, taste, or knowledge to use USA-quarried Danby marble, the stone used for monuments and buildings in DC, and of which the feds have exclusive claim on the finest varieties.

The inflatable costume thing with the protesters is really good because it renders the body armor/CoD weaponry aesthetic of the ICE Nazis even more ridiculous than it already was. Suiting up like Rambo to face down a dancing frog. No coming back from that
