Book deal. Talk show circuit. Boone’s Farm.
seeing people confidently stating that Greene is obviously going to run for senate or gov. certainly possible. I mean, the whole thing is a stunner to me. but looking at the statement, the calendar and the year, I'm kind of skeptical about that.

He’s delaminating before our eyes.
The President of the United States is publicly calling for the political prosecution of his political opponents, urging the death penalty because they urged soldiers to uphold the rule of law.
This should be front page news everywhere. It is not, which tells much about how we got to this point.

“Things happen.” Really. If the question were about Charlie Kirk and someone said that, the right would be calling for their resignation or firing.

ABA to review law school standards, may drop diversity rule amid pressure
The American Bar Association will undertake a sweeping review of its standards for law schools as states weigh dropping the organization as an accreditor and critics blame its regulations for driving up student costs.

Since I evidently still have the critical acclaim juice, if you know of anyone who needs a narrative/content/game designer with technical and management skills, 15 years of experience, acclaim in related fields, and has some other fancy awards like being a Forbes 30 under 30, I’m your guy!

Just heard re: some ICE agents who raided a Chicago taqueria, then went back to the same taqueria for lunch the following week and got confused when the owner kicked them out, and I realized "jesus these doofuses really do believe we're all living in a video game where the NPCs have no memory"

Our season finale is tonight at 11pm on HBO Max/11:12pm on HBO!! And when we’re back in February? It may feel like we’ve been away for years! But keep in mind, that’s mostly because John is aging at an extreme pace. Months read like years on his face. It’s startling. Even to us.

It occurs to me now that the discipline of history was not born out of reverence for the past, but rather out of somebody watching the people in charge make the most insane decisions and just being like “if I don’t write this down nobody’s ever gonna believe any of it happened”

My impression has been that there is a significant slice of the progressives that will only come into the tent if the centrists leave. A willingness to share the tent is necessary to enter; purity tests and coalitions are incompatible.

I mean, can’t we raise our public discourse above this? I mean, it was probably a different Bubba who Putin might, potentially have pictures or videos of Trump performing felatio on. It’s less than 50-50 that Trump ever blew Bill Clinton. He probably blew a different Bubba.
Whoever is making these hilarious memes should be ashamed of themselves.

Someone else compared it to dousing his and her career with gasoline and tackling him into a fire. But they had quotes and comments off. So I couldn’t say “She’ll rise from the ashes like the three-toed phoenix she was meant to be.”
Greene’s doing this for the same reason she was pandering to brainworms years ahead of when it became the GOP platform. She’s cynical but not actually stupid, and better than most at getting ahead of the curve. Knowing which way the wind is blowing. She’s placing her bets now for the post-Trump era.
