same for asking him over and over about invading various US cities with the military
I think it's straight up unethical to continually ask Trump if he's invading Colombia or Greenland at this stage. We learn nothing and it makes it stick in his head

I’ll tell it again. Once in law school I was 23 and really drunk and obnoxious and the owner cut me off and the bouncer told me I needed to go, and I told him, “I’m going to be a lawyer and you’re always going to be a bouncer,” and that bouncer was Mike Tomlin.

yep. i can identify any number of structural issues but at the end of the day the basic problem is the republican party. this has been apparent for at least 20 years. it is also an incredibly unpopular observation to make among “serious” people.
Right.
If you want a good explanation of why the American system of government worked well enough for 200 years and then suddenly stopped, it's because Republicans in Congress suddenly started letting their partisan interests COMPLETELY override their institutional interests

a lot of problems wouldn't exist if we had a congress with even an ounce of self interest

Thread. You do not have enough contempt for this style of "news" or the political reporters who do it.
Link to article, which, in my view, fetishizes accessibility. Is it interesting that Trump answers calls from reporters at 4:30am? But usually such behind the scenes pieces about how reporters work includes a “how I got the story” payoff, which this piece lacks.

if you need to mediate every direct interaction with another human being or something created by a human being through a chatbot, how are we “relating with each other”
Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella says people should move beyond calling AI 'slop'
"We need to get beyond the arguments of slop vs sophistication and develop a new equilibrium ... that accounts for humans being equipped with these new cognitive amplifier tools as we relate to each other"

Are you tired of hearing Trump is the fault of elected Democrats? Well David Frum, speechwriter for Donald Rumsfeld, is here to tell you that Donald Trump is your fault anti-Trump American
"Trump thrives on the ineffectiveness of his opponents. The operation in Venezuela is a warning that Trump’s imperial ambitions are growing. An ineffective anti-Trump movement is an indulgence American democracy cannot afford or accept." - @davidfrum.bsky.social

It really is incredible how many people treat being too stupid to hold the thought “two things can both be bad” in their head as some great badge of moral courage.
If Maduro was a dictator then how was his abduction illegal? He'd been indicted after all. You're repeating the same mistake made 20 years ago with Iraq. Its not a mistake either you just support this stuff. You liberal imperialists are every bit as guilty as the republicans.

The significant part of it for Americans is going to be recognizing the role the republican party as currently constituted plays in the alliance of global antidemocratic forces
We should think broadly about this as the menagerie of democracies constituting it may include states that don't yet exist and other powerful corporate bodies politic that aren't territorial states at all.
It feels like things are going to get much weirder very soon and we should brace ourselves.

Their messaging is so fucking incoherent. Maduro was an illegitimate leader who lost in 2024, which is why we're replacing him with his VP instead of the person who won in 2024. We did this to stop fentanyl, which is why he's indicted for cocaine.
We're also occupying Venezuela via Zoom call.

The only other alternative is violent revolution, so people who want that should call for it explicitly. An impeachment that gets voted down immediately won't do anything.
ah yes. let's wait until dems sweep house and senate in midterms so we can have two more years of crippling constitutional crises before trump cedes power peacefully
