Did John Ringo write her talking points?
Megyn Kelly: "I know somebody very close to this case…Jeffrey Epstein, in this person's view, was not a pedophile…He was into the barely legal type, like he liked 15 year old girls…He wasn't into like 8 year olds…There's a difference between a 15 year old and a 5 year old."

Anyway leaving in a bit to go to Vegas, McCarran is always a GODDAMN DELIGHT.
The two easiest TSA walkthroughs I've ever been on have been Manchester in NH and Kansas city. Kansas City has the various terminals physically separated so they have way more TSA people because they can't funnel them through it.
Ah, the advantage of small town life. At the Charlottesville airport and TSA took literally one minute. No one is here. Now we'll see what it's like when I get to Charlotte, but I won't need to go thru security there at least.

Big vibes of Kruschev remarking that whenever he wants the West to Squeal he'll squeeze Berlin. Trump is going to take this lesson away if the Dems don't get a win.
"Well I'll just cut off food for the poor"

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

Said back on week one of this to a furloughed colleague: straight up the Admin will agree to the subsidies, then just use the allocated money for something else. And the Dems will be like "damn someone should do something about that. Not us tho"

Can they? Because they don't have a supermajority to override Trump's veto. And there's no guarantee that the Trump regime will honor the appropriation -- they haven't been following the law so far.

this should be one of defining images of his second term, because its impossible to tell from looking at it whether he is too indifferent to care or too senile to notice

Arguably you could say that since this isn't the obvious response there's a serious critical thinking problem going on in rural VA, to me it's a bit like dynamiting fish in a barrel.
is ignoring that NOVA would be poor without the rest of the country.
Fundamentally it isn't a flex. NOVAs economic strength comes from federal largesse, extracted from the rest of the country. Even the massive data centers are there to snag government contracts.

Lot of VA election posts on Threads that have Rest-of-VA complaining about NOVA throwing election, while NOVAns smugly responding they pay for their food stamps/services.
Going to say this as someone who is pleased the GOP got spanked: saying "the rest of the state would be poor without NOVA" 1/*

There was a guy on my ship who was allegedly an actual psychopath, as in he didn't really feel emotions at all,band my gut instinct here is that even he would have gone through the performative motions or at least have a mild interest as to what was going on.
incredible photo that's definitely worth at least 1,000 words from Andrew Harnik of Getty
