Kid hid a car while riding a moped last summer on our vacation. I just fucked him up by showing him this voicemail before telling him everything was fine and he had nothing to worry about

Am I a dick because I'm going to laugh at my brother when his fire department(mostly volunteer staff) has no funding? Or his day job(mortgage) shrivels up?

lol, nm, I don't care. He's said that his political view is 'leave me alone', so I support him getting what he wants
Legit q to my brother: suppose I tell my kids how you voted

Anyway, hating America right now is understandable; hating all Americans is bigotry.

The justices' questions for Clement—Lisa Cook's lawyer—sound like efforts to shape a ruling against Trump. There are some genuinely hard questions here that SCOTUS can avoid answering while still siding with Cook. Pressing Clement on those issues doesn't signal general hostility toward his position.

Look, I pray it happens quickly for him. I'm not that much of an asshole.
INBOX: Air Force One (tail number 29000), which was carrying President Trump from Washington, D.C. to Davos, Switzerland, appears to be turning back. (h/t @PollTracker2024/X)

Chris runs a successful legal blog/newsletter and still manages to take good care of himself (and encourage others to take care of themselves!). Someone coming at him for posting a damn hot picture of himself on his personal timeline is nutty
THEN DON'T FOLLOW ME.
C'mon. I don't follow you for workout pics. Respect for your normal posts, tho.

Kristi Noem: I thank you for not naming the president, because getting his name out there will increase threats. It's important that people not know President Trump's name
VAN SUSTEREN: The church -- that's a particularly troubling issue because you got a pastor, I purposely didn't name it, he's reportedly associated with ICE

NOEM: Thank you for not naming him. People don't realize that when you keep naming someone over and over, you increase the threats against them

Time of day matters, though. If it starts between 2-9 AM ET it's probably him again, 9AM-6PM might be the courts
bluesky has now reached critical enough mass as a Sports App that we can correctly and safely assume that contextless exclamations are sports-related and I’m very proud of us

wait I lived in Riverside for a couple years, and people got very mad when I tried to say I was from LA. I think it's time to fact-check TPUSA Faith's Make Heaven Crowded Tour.
Make Heaven Crowded is an insane title.

I get the point, but Trump is also even more unhinged than he's been in the past and it's pretty obvious some of that is age related. There's obviously a point where cognitive ability is too severely impaired without being a "vegetable"
tbh the 25th Amendment really wasn't designed for this, Section 4 exists as basically solely for the "what if Jack survived Dallas as a vegetable" edge case.

the remedy here is impeachment (and also impeachment is a lower bar to clear)
It’s really too bad that Trump’s cabinet are all spineless worms or equally crazy because “the President has gone insane and is going to destroy the transatlantic alliance because they didn’t give him a Nobel Peace Prize” is kind of exactly the thing we have a 25th Amendment for

This guy successfully raised over $50k in ~24 hours for something or other, and has spent the 48 hours since then completely unraveling to show a Trumpian core. Any criticism is part of an orchestrated effort by inauthentic people. Don't they know who he is? Criticism of Simon is defamation!

The replies are full of people who don't get that "my friend" is deeply cutting in this context
I want to address my friend Ilan who says here that he has been subject to “a lot of hate” from academics who “should know better” and haven’t respected the “academic enterprise.”

I don’t dislike Ilan. I also think his paper is fundamentally wrong and not scholarly.
