This guy looks about the age to be the son or grandson of someone who fought the Nazis. He would have grown up watching the same "Nazis bad" films everyone in the Boomer and Gen X eras did.
Wtf has to happen for a guy to betray his family and his national culture this comprehensively?

Trump voters like this, the way they liked the "Access Hollywood" tapes, bc they're united by their commitment to violent misogyny & dehumanization of women. It's how Trump unites incels w/Evangelicals & actually gained a greater proportion of the vote from men of color with each election 2016-2024.

LOL. I was there to watch the entirety of the Reagan presidency unfold, from candidacy thru both terms & the aftermath.
I met the man, shook his hand. I watched him turn otherwise sentient adults into blathering morons.
"KNOW THIS" -- is that how people in Moldova or N Korea think Americans write?

Teaching the Progressive Era today I said “I tend not to weigh in on current issues in class but I beg all of you to honor these reformers by only drinking pasteurized milk.”
New Mexico Department of Health investigators have been unable to detect the precise cause of the Listeria infection which killed the infant, but said unpasteurized milk the infant’s mother drank during pregnancy was the “most likely source.”

Ever had a Kölsch? Light on the hops, served in small glasses so it's always cold. Delightful. I lived in its hometown of Cologne for four years and became a fan.

Ooh, love me some Levy, but he's visibly exerting too much effort.
Mike Johnson may be the worst Speaker of the House ever, but he's the best contempt-conveyer I have ever seen. Floats like a butterfly, smirks like a backpfeifengesicht.

Can I tell you my super-accurate asshole detection screening mechanism on BlueSky? These 2 tests never fail to identify people to block:
1/ Anyone who uses the r-slur
2/ Anyone who refers contemptuously to mothers having political agency--e.g., use of terms such as "wine moms" or "normie moms"

Watch this with the sound off. Have you EVER seen a human face so effortlessly convey cheery dismissiveness and polite contempt?

Q: Pope Leo cited Matthew 25:35 to critique Donald Trump's mass deportation agenda. How would you respond to Pope Leo in scripture?
MIKE JOHNSON: Sovereign borders are biblical and right and just. It's not because we hate the people on the outside. It's because we love the people on the inside.

Bernie gives great sound bites and on many things his heart is in the right place (I've worked with him), but he's one of the most ineffective lawmakers the US has ever seen: he passed a grand total of 3 pieces of legislation in 3 decades in office, and 2 of those were for naming post offices.
