Frighteners meaning "the military is here to make a statement/show of force", this is...a lot more than that.

He hasn’t succeeded in gerrymandering the House. He got Texas and NC but Dems are winning a lot of other fights.

Run. Hide.

It's too late for me, save yourself!

The “George W Bush becomes commissioner of baseball” timeline is an improvement, this is similar.

Look at his playlists at events. It's the YMCA and Broadway shows. And other evidence:

Trump Loves Musicals? We Imagine What His Broadway Playlist Might Be — OnStage Blog
“We may never know what Trump’s Broadway Musical playlist sounds like, but we think we can take a guess based on his business acumen and how he governed the country.”

Opera, no. Broadway musicals, yes.

The Butlerian Jihad forgot they had to specify “Thou really shalt not make a machine in the likeness of God”

As a mainline Protestant preacher’s kid, I’m “awarding“ myself 5/5.

Just the number of (non-civil) wars within South America are very few; note lots of jungle and mountains.

Within the 20th century, the Chaco War counts. There's some smaller incidents where the # of dead is <1000. But the Falklands wasn't on the continent proper.

This was a worthwhile trade for Minority Leader McConnell, but it wasn't a cheap one.

A lot of the pictures and videos the feds presumably have are going to need censored because, uh, CSAM.

This really shouldn’t be controversial. The rules of the game aren’t a state secret.

This is also a problem with having rules that are paygated in the first place.

A Dem majority that is willing to do those latter things is also a majority willing to get rid of the filibuster.

Which of those is more likely isn’t the argument - and frankly we can still change that likelihood. Make primary decisions accordingly.
November 13, 2025 at 6:09 PM
Whether the filibuster survives 2026 isn’t the inflection point for “what will the Senate do in 2029”. If the filibuster exists, and a Dem Senate majority won’t toss it, they wouldn‘t be doing SCOTUS reform or fix gerrymandering or anything else that will be critical anyway.
November 13, 2025 at 6:09 PM
If we can’t get a Senate with 51 Senators willing to blow up the filibuster in 2029, then we can’t get a Senate willing to do the hard work that will be necessary.

Anglo-Papal relations have also been in the news.

And Henry VIII, depending on when specifically we're talking.

Non-trivial chance that some of that kompromat was from Epstein to Putin.

Before. Francis made it a point to call out JD Vance in all but name back in February about ordo amoris - basically “who is my neighbor”

Power is the right to be wrong, and wow were these guys very very wrong.

Like Bolton, my assumption is that these are “because of who he works/votes for”, not because of the underlying conduct. But that there could be underlying conduct (unlike Comey and James).

If she became Speaker of the House, 2. But that's the only House member who's in the line of succession.

Liz Cheney turned against the entire GOP. MTG won't - she'll be "Trump without the pedophilia"
