One wonders, how were Verizon employees oriented before? If I were a CEO admitting my employees were not focused on delighting customers, I’d lay off myself first.

"Republicans spent a year eroding the Constitution to promoting one-man authoritarian national socialism and suffered severe by-election losses. Have the learned any lessons?" Why does the legacy media only ever have "lessons" for Democrats?

Democrats spent a year at rock bottom. Have they learned any lessons?
It’s been a long year of arguments, wisdom-mongering and profanity for the professional left and its allies.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Has New York Democratic Party chairman Jay Jacobs resigned over Mamdani yet? I hope he hasn't, so that he can instead resign over *improving Republican margins over Trump 2024 in an anti-Republican wave election*. Trump won Nassau by just 4%—now look at this bloodbath

Putin's plane should be accidentally shot down when it enters EU airspace. The EU can then roll out any one of the dozens of explanations the Russians gave when they shot down civilian aircraft.

At his recent press conference in the Oval Office, Trump blathered about how Hungary is a land-locked country without water ports. Everyone wrote it off to his worsening dementia, but it’s worse than that.

Yes. The appeal is never having to grow up or accommodate yourself to the needs or interests of others. It is enormously appealing, apparently. And not just to young people.
It truly appears that the desire to say this sort of stuff without being socially ostracized and so on has been a main driver of one side of our politics from the "anti-PC" 1990s all the way through the "anti-woke" / "anti-DEI" present.
A true political juggernaut, this desire certain people have.

From my receipts, I compared prices for identical items at the identical Target store in Manhattan, New York City between Jan/Feb 2025, and today. Some items went up a lot, most stayed even, and some even declined. But overall, the same basket is 5% more expensive. #trump #inflation

Republicans run the entire government but can't keep it open. That's it. That's the whole story. Not partisanship, polarization, or Democrats.

The president just told all of the military's leaders that all Democrats are evil and promised to send the full force of the military into Democratic cities to assault the "enemy within," and there's *still* a chance that Democratic congressmen provide the crucial votes to keep this regime running.
