every single person in this story is a monster but the only one I have seen sustained defenses of is Nuzzi and I think everyone doing so needs to sit with the fact that her absolute mockery of the entire concept of journalism has a large and growing body count

DOGE was created for data theft and infrastructure dismantling and it wildly succeeded on both counts within the first few weeks of its existence. It will take a generation to rebuild what it destroyed and the breach of data is unprecedented.
Bye bye, “DOGE”.
It no longer exists as a “centralized entity”, according to the Office of Personnel Management.

You don’t have to like Nuzzi or approve of her conduct to understand that Lizza’s choice to publish the material that he is publishing is meant to sexually humiliate her in public in retaliation for disappointing him romantically. The term for that is revenge porn.

The juxtaposition actually is crazy. A 34 year old first time mayor and the POTUS, and Zohran is just lapping him. How embarrassing.
Mayor-elect Zohran Mamdani:
“I have spoken about the Israeli government committing genocide and I’ve spoken about our government funding it.”
Pres. Trump:
“I think he’s different than your typical guy… I think you have a chance to really make (NYC) great… you’re going to have a really great...

One of the most dead on quotes from a U.S President. Obama broke their brains fr.
"If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."

one of the big lessons re conservatives and especially conservative christians is that they are more satisfied by being comparatively better off than others rather than being better off in absolute terms.
they’re perfectly happy to lose if you lose more.

This is an accidentally honest answer. What she's saying in code is:
"The President is a misogynist, petulant bully. You've all seen him be a misogynist, petulant bully. And lots of voters out there are also misogynist or petulant or bullies and that's why they like him."
"The President is a misogynist, petulant bully. You've all seen him be a misogynist, petulant bully. And lots of voters out there are also misogynist or petulant or bullies and that's why they like him."
Q: What did the president mean when he called a reporter "piggy"?
LEAVITT: Look, the president is very frank & honest with everyone in this room. You'll all seen it yourself. You've all experienced it yourselves. And I think it's one of the many reasons the American people reelected this president

Don Quayle lost in the 90s cause he couldn't spell potato & Howard Dean lost because he got too into his cheers but 12 years later we elected this sociopath. Twice.
When asked if there was anything "incriminating" in Epstein's emails, Trump pointed a finger in a female reporter's face and snapped. 'Quiet. Quiet, Piggy.'

The reason why most women my age couldn't care less if Bill Clinton goes down with the ship is that we were teens & young women when the Anita Hill and Monica Lewinsky scandals happened. It's rotten to the core. All the way down. Your "lost" era is not ours.

Elections have consequences.
This fact irritates both the left, whose mantra is that elections don't matter and thus their refusal to vote for harm reduction is not selfish and ignoble, and Republicans, who like to set the house on fire and then say they never expected all this burning to happen.
