People need to stop reading the stupid New York Times and listening to stupid Bill Maher. The centrists are wrong. And they continue to divide the left. F*ck the libertarian concern trolls dressed in leftist garb. Oppositional politics for the win. No compromise with fascism.

Behold, an elderly man in the throws of complete cognitive decline. He is living in an extended delusion that’s being fed and encouraged by the sycophants around him, so that they can run the country for their own evil purposes.
Every part of this is bonkers. The intro is bonkers. The transition to his health is bonkers. The mention that other presidents didn't need cognitive exams is bonkers. The claim that this screening test is somehow hard is bonkers. The idea that criticism of him is treason is bonkers. All of it.

After Duffy’s ridiculous request for travelers to dress better, people are wearing more pajamas to the airport.
Duffy should worry less about what people wear and more about the increasing number of plane crashes since he took over.

Let's see the radical calisthenics the rightwing Justices are willing to go through to achieve their cherished result.
the idea that a handful of conservative legal scholars have an understanding that should supersede a settlement affirmed my generations of american is astoundingly arrogant, and the idea that trump — or any president — can unilaterally overturn that settlement is just despotism

This is really an incomprehensible situation. The immunity decision should be considered void and of no effect.
Some say it is illegal to arrest a sitting president. It is not. The president is subject to the law like everyone. That none have been arrested in the U.S. is only a policy internal to the DOJ based on the need for continuity of government operations--a policy that never imagined a criminal POTUS.

AI powered surveillance! Oh boy.

Once again, for the people in the back: Fuck the NY Times, and Fuck the centrist pundits who are nothing more than empty concern-trolls. These people should shut up and leave the room.
My latest newsletter is about how centrist pundits got the lessons of the 2024 election wrong, and how the politics of 2025 exposed them.

We are not at war with Venezuela, yet. The boats are civilian craft. The U.S. criminal code does not maintain a death penalty for drug smuggling. Due process is required before conviction or sentence.

All of the 80 people killed thus far are wanton murders slain under illegal orders. All of them.
