Amused at conservative outlets who spent the past five months dragging Mayor-elect Mamdani to hell and back with the most vicious, hateful propaganda but had to watch agog as Trump heaped praise on him in the Oval Office. That's some funny shit right there.

Periodic reminder to the media and the Dems and the Universities that standing up to Trump and sticking to your guns earns you a lot more respect from this guy than just handing your money and balls to him in a shoebox

Yes! Think about it like this. Zohran is so charming he got the world's most famous racist capitalist to slob the knob of a brown socialist for an hour in front of the press and if you don't think that matters to the country as a whole then I don't know what to say. Optics are everything to Trump.
I’m gonna implore everyone here to take the W if only to experience the feeling again.

Centrists having some real trouble accepting that the reason Zohran isn’t getting slammed like Whitmer is he didn’t go there to debase himself like Whitmer did in a pathetic attempt at winning over Trump voters. He went there to deliver his message and try to get shit done.

My guess is that Zohran wanted Trump to like him while also not appearing like he endorses anything Trump is doing and unless I missed something mission accomplished buddy

I'm not saying the Trump Administration is stacked with Soviet assets.
I'm just wondering, if they *were* Soviet assets, what would they be doing differently?

Everyone is justifiably mad about the RFK of this post, but I also just wanna take a second to say this is some shameful sanewashing even for the NYT. He’s not “challenging scientific orthodoxy,” he is displaying his ignorance of and/or disdain for science. He’s a fucking charlatan, call him one.
Breaking News: Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said he personally instructed the CDC to abandon its position that vaccines do not cause autism. The move underscores his determination to challenge scientific orthodoxy — in this case, that vaccines save lives — and bend the health department to his will.
RFK Jr. Says He Instructed CDC to Change Vaccines and Autism Language on Website
In an interview, Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. cited gaps in vaccine safety research. His critics say he is ignoring a larger point: Vaccines save lives.

They misidentified the intern. The judge told them they had misidentified the intern. But instead of double checking, they took that as an affront to their authority. So they surrounded the judge's car and threatened to smash the windows to get to the intern.

The part where they threatened to break a judge’s car windows should be a bigger story … they feel comfortable treating judges this way, which means they are being told that they can do literally anything to nearly everyone

It gets lost in the shuffle, but the Speaker of the House is someone who, by all rights, should’ve had his career ended a decade ago by a Shreveport TV news investigative team.
Fond memories of that time Mike Johnson was president of a local law school that never opened its doors, in part because it was attached to a Baptist college that was losing its accreditation, and in part because it was always a scam from the start
Mike Johnson -- who is, yes, theoretically a lawyer -- has not had a chance to look at the American Constitution because he's been very busy lately, folks, he just can't see everything, gosh, how is he supposed to know if it's wrong that the president called for the execution of congress members?

Important to understand that shame has no power over these people, because they feel no shame over doing things like promoting Nazism, but sufficient "noise" in the form of media attention and complaints from embarrassed Republicans can have some effect on policy.

per vought’s own admission, their strategy is to attack every element of government they can, and if they attract too much pushback for one attack, they shift their focus to another target. sometimes they return, sometimes they don’t. but the bottom line is that public outrage is working
