I’m sure a lot of yarn site refugees are following me over here now.

Good chance I won’t become super-active here, too much like ye olde birde for my liking in all the wrong ways, but welcome.

This is a *very* niche post, but I’ve now been the subject of a David Aldridge moment on the Tony Kornheiser Show, so I think I can retire in peace.

Someone needs to ask him if he’s been seeing a neurologist
Trump on Jerome Powell: "He's got some real mental problems. There's something wrong with him. It's just ridiculous. I'll be honest, I'd love to fire his ass. He should be fired…and he should be sued."

In the private sector, a pretty solid clue that you're about to be cut loose is when the boss leaves you out of the loop on company business. This feels like Trump didn't fill MAGA Mike in on the plan to continue to obstruct the release while fully briefing Thune 😂😂
Mike Johnson earlier: “I called Thune and shared our deep concerns. So I’m very confident that when this moves forward in the process, the senate will take the time to methodically amend this discharge petition.”

Schumer: The Senate has now passed the Epstein bill as soon as it comes over from the House.

There are rumors on the yarn site that Zuck is dead. Anyone heard anything to that effect, or are such rumors spreading around here?

It was the decisive factor imo
Had a pretty liberal English teacher colleague become a Trump supporter after RFK Jr. endorsed. I think that was a bigger deal than many suspected at the time.

Christian persecution has arrived, and it’s the people that always told us they were afraid of Christian persecution doing it.
Update: secular authorities are now considering raids on churches during holy days
I can’t believe we’re back to medieval level conflicts like “local authorities deny catholic prisoners the Eucharist, bishop arrives, Papal sanction may follow”

One issue I’ve had with The Dispatch, they’ve taken a stronger anti-anti-Trump turn and hiring Sarah Isgur is one of the prime examples of this
Wow, Sarah Isgur just pitched that the government shutdown was a voter turnout operation for Dems to win big in Virginia by making all of the lib federal government employees in northern VA unemployed and angry.
Man, The Dispatch has been getting a lot of bad advice from new media consultants. Their podcasts are sounding more and more like NPR (derogatory).

He’s not doing it right. Gotta pull like you’re flossing between your brain cells
Argentina President Javier Milei doing the “Trump dance” at Mar-a-Lago after getting an $40 billion bailout.

Meanwhile, Trump won’t renew subsides for American healthcare.

Now Zuckland seems convinced that JD, Usha, and Erika are in a three-way. I mean, I’ve seen weirder, especially among MAGA types, but this fixation on these folks’ sex lives is kinda weird in and of itself
Though I did see someone try to imply that Erika is a lesbian. But then again the yarn site is going crazier ever since they sent you packing

More power to any MAGA republicans who finally want to step outta their closet...
It's lucky for Fox Propaganda that it has no shame because ridiculous nonsense like this would cause acute amounts of it.

It's also hard to make executive branch dominance the central reality and affect of your administration and then get away with blaming the minority party in the Senate when you can't keep the government open
The Republicans can end the shutdown any time they want because they have 53 Senators.

If Americans want a constitutional republic of free people rather than bow down to a monarch, you’ll break more laws and hurt the country?

Your terms are acceptable. I’d really prefer if you didn’t hurt the country, but if you insist, announcing that it’s because you hate freedom, so be it.
