Meanwhile the President just yesterday said an assassinated journalist deserved it and celebrated his killer
New: Reuters has tallied job losses, suspensions and investigations stemming from the reaction to Charlie Kirk's Sept. 10 assassination. Its findings: More than 600 Americans have been punished, and the figure is likely to be an under-count.

Seriously, it's just a cartoonist caricature of a mafia threat
Trump in response to an Epstein question: "ABC, your company, your crappy company is one of the perpetrators. I think the license should be taken away from ABC because your news is so fake and so wrong. And we have a great commissioner, a chairman, who should take a look at that."

Stupid Tony Soprano-ass presidency
Trump suggests Khashoggi had it coming: "You're mentioning someone that was extremely controversial. A lot of people didn't like that gentleman that you're talking about. Whether you like him or didn't like him, things happen. But he knew nothing about it. You don't have to embarrass our guest."

Friends, Vatican II teaches that we should engage in ecumenical dialogue with our separated brothers and sisters in Protestant ecclesial communities. Joining me today is my friend Joel Webbon to discuss how Catholics and Evangelicals can collaborate in furthering the common good of the nation.

I think it's fair to say Schumer makes for a seriously bad look still currently getting to call himself Minority Leader, I also think if you're a lefty complaining about how he is and owns the party when most of them disagree with him and just don't want his job, you're helping him push out the left

As one of the 3 dozen people on here who actually pay attention to this issue and MENA more broadly as a job it is still very amusing to see people think it's the left who loves this plan. The most voracious defenders of it are Blob careerists or their orbiters— Blinken, McGurk, Lindsey Graham, etc.

The debate over whether this is 'fascism' is a silly semantic one in which a small minority mean 'completed fascist authoritarianism' and the vast majority mean 'the people in power say and do things that demonstrate completed fascist authoritarianism is what they want to achieve.'

I am reminded of how Olivia Nuzzi's evidence for Biden's senility was that he didn't remember who she was. The kind of narcissism that gets you promoted to the upper ranks of U.S. political journalism.
The prose is incoherent & the only way to make it through a paragraph is to rely on the North Star or her self-pitying narcissism. The gist of this graf is “strangers obsess about me, must be because I work so hard,” but it is almost immediate lost in the morass of “typed on notes app while hiking”

all of these are things people very much do in China, a state where the police often torture people, dissidents are disappeared, and which runs labor camps. even in authoritarian states there are different layers in who the police have impunity to brutalize and who they don't.
You DEFINITELY wouldn't be out on the street, yelling at cops, or pleading with them to be honorable, or demanding to see their ID.
You just...Would Not.
(Throwing food at a cop? Under fascism, you'd be better off just jumping into the river instead of the beating - or bullet - you'd get.)

"Reasons" Well there's your problem, you're assuming that you can assuage every desire for violence or that it's always rational, at least as you and I see it. You can't. Violence is often personal, irrational, emotional.
abolitionists want to create a world where personal violence is unthinkable because the underlying reasons why we hurt each other have been addressed to thoroughly that harm never feels like than option. i hope we succeed.
I‘m tired of being nice about this; “abolitionism” has had years to develop a non-idiot policy program and the best they’ve come up with is ”murder without even the pretense of juridical process.” And I am not nut-picking; this is all over abolitionist writing.

You're the professor that's carried by esteem and a rep, but when anyone takes your course, they find it's the ramblings of a guy's who's professional relevance ended 20 years ago. An infinite semester with you would lead to mass suicide.
It's like the longest, worst graduate seminar with the least bright students I ever had to teach, and the semester never ends

My mistake has been trying to explain what "fascism" is to people who don't care what it is.
So I'm going to try something else. Let's do this as a practical thought exercise.

In Bovino's upside down world, there is no difference between an armed gang member preying on others in his community and a guy working 12 hours a day washing cars, flipping burgers, or installing sheetrock to feed his family — and he wants you to hate and fear both men equally.
Bovino: "Whether they were criminals or individuals that were taking jobs from Americans -- you name it, that's what they were doing. And I'll tell you what's gonna happen. We're gonna go even harder on the streets. If he releases those 650, we're gonna apprehend 1,650 on the streets of Chicago."

Maybe our judges and opposition politicians should throw a bit more of a stink for an officer of the President's goon squad waving threats around
Bovino: "We're ratcheting operations up in Chicago. That's a very corrupt system in Chicago. Whether it's those elected leaders like Pritzker or those out of control judges, Chicago needs some attention. You're gonna see some very dynamic operations."
