Exactly! Real “how do you do, fellow kids” vibes here

I remember how the foundational text of that whole deal was a little work called “Hillbilly Elegy”…

He is the useful idiot. Don’t think this was as true of his first term, I do get the sense that he called the shots more consistently then. But he is 100% the useful idiot that the Voghts and Millers keep placated with his gold leaf and his boot-licking cabinet meetings.

Oof… the 2nd plane on 9/11.

And at this liberal elite school i got shut tf down and told that i was totally off base and it WASN’T just because of that, obviously, for all these other GEOPOLITICAL REASONS AND SAFETY. Never forgot that feeling of seeing people be so sure in their own wrongness.

I took an Intro to Peace and Justice studies my 1st year of college in 2002 during the leadup; we spent a lot of time talking about Iraq. I remember the prof initially asking us to list the significant reasons why the US might engage, and i blithely said “obv bc of our oil interests in the region”

I can never not see Maria Bartiromo actually as 17 year old Maeby Funke who accidentally conned her way into being a Fox News host after getting fired from Tantamount

White men in power bitterly complaining about feeling the mild consequences of their own actions is such a throughline of this whole stupid time.

I’m genuinely curious about his “thank you for your attention to this matter!” textual tic. It’s new as of this term, right? To me it smacks of OFFICIAL SERIOUS PERSON playacting… What do you make of it?

“Cringe and incredibly dystopian” is a perfect encapsulation of this whole administration tbh

This is abjectly impeachable conduct by cabinet members. As a constituent, I urge you to introduce articles of impeachment ASAP, starting with Hegseth.

So what are you doing to leverage your hand to make “Congress…return to a bipartisan way of working together”?? Wagging your finger and issuing statements? Wake up to reality: Trump and his congressional ilk are NEVER going to engage in good faith. Leverage the power of being the opposition party.
