I appreciate Bruce Springsteen and Billy Bragg coming in hot on Minneapolis, but if we really want to hurt Trump we need Andrew Lloyd Webber to write a song calling him garbage.

Every single time a Trumpist says “the rhetoric of the left is putting people in danger,” wave your middle finger in their face, because they are lying shitbirds without any principles.

Ah, imaginary whataboutism, the best whataboutism.
You're asking me about a bad thing that really happened? Well, whatabout a different bad thing that didn't actually happen, something I've imagined? Whatabout that, huh? I'm a victim here.
OK, now that these things are balanced out, let's move on.

Ron Johnson on Ilhan Omar getting attacked: "Let's talk about how crazy this is. Had that been a Republican member of Congress and an illegal immigrant spraying something at them, in Minneapolis what would probably happen is they would release that illegal immigrant."

This is why I have real fucking problem with blithe criticisms of "polarization" or "congressional dysfunction." We have a Republican member blaming his colleague for being attacked.
The problem isn't polarization or dysfunction. It's the Republican Party.

To say aloud that the vice president is friends with Nazis and to point out that his Holocaust tweet is crafted so as not to offend them is to sound crazy to everyone who doesn’t know both are stone cold facts. Frustrating thing.
Legitimately a feat of carefully calculated writing to issue a Holocaust Remembrance Day statement of this length without mentioning either (1) the people who perpetrated the Holocaust or (2) the people against whom they perpetrated it

Once you start noticing it you can't stop: when the real Trump falters and is incapable of defending his administration (more and more frequent) the actual Trump is "subbed out" of news coverage for an invented, imaginary, often explicitly hypothetical version of Trump who is reasonable and cogent
A few hours ago the msm unquestioningly repeated the White House spin that Trump had changed his “tone.”
Um, holy shit? This has gotta be up there in the most crass & worse things Trump has ever said

"Everything I've done, I've done at the direction of the president and Stephen," Noem told a person who relayed her remarks to Axios.""

CNN reporting that a week before Alex Pretti was killed, 5 agents tackled him and he suffered a broken rib. CNN says he stopped his car after he saw ICE agents interacting with a family on foot and began to blow his whistle. Source tells CNN Pretti believed “That day he thought he was going to die”

Rittenhouse had a rifle which he brandished, Pretti had a pistol he kept holstered. Rittenhouse shot and killed two people while Pretti didn’t shoot anyone. For that, Rittenhouse became a cause celebre on the right, meeting with Trump at Mar-a-Lago, speaking at TPUSA events, and raising big money.

While I think it’s true that Miller is to blame for the ghastly specifics of ICE’s approach, I think we have to be careful not to go too far on that lest the media start to let Trump off the hook, as if grandpa has no idea what the kids he’s supposed to be watching are doing downstairs.

Donald Trump could have a different impact if he were a totally different person with different ideas and different policies, that's true.
But here in reality, he's the president, and the one person most responsible, by far, for his administration's abuses, rights violations, and lawbreaking.

This is embarrassingly on-the-nose textbook “psychology of fascism” stuff. Bitter, impotent tools getting to feel powerful by proxy watching brutality done on their behalf.
Tim Pool: “I’m not licking the boot. It’s my boot. I voted for it. I’m the one stomping…”
This mindset is genuinely pathetic.
It’s an alpha fantasy: watching state violence and imagining you’re exercising power rather than the one submitting to it.
