What an incredibly fucking absurd time to be alive.
With as many guns as we have in our society, there are far too many stupid people in this country, many of them in positions of authority where their incompetence creates horrible tragedies.

Recall that the whole National Guard deployment to DC began with Edward Coristine getting beat up for being a pedophile.

Correct.
"A death-haunted Trump is fed a steady stream of AI-generated news and polls while he focuses 100% of his efforts on building a ballroom that would dwarf the rest of the White House while navigating a series of accellerating and hidden health crises" is my take on the current situation.

I think it was @hurricanexyz.bsky.social who observed that what these guys actually want is to outsource their moral judgment to an authority who will tell them that vice is actually virtuous.
you're telling me a right-wing catholic convert is just a protestant in disguise? shocked
In newly leaked audio, Peter Thiel admits he urged JD Vance to ignore Pope Leo XIV on moral questions — including the ethical development of AI.
He goes even further, branding Leo “the woke American pope” and suggesting he’s a tool of the Antichrist.

There are a lot of public figures who have basically given up and accepted Trumpism, whether or not they personally like it, and it's extremely important that we make those people pay

blocking people insane about Will remains one of the most consistent ways to make this website a more pleasant user experience; he draws the maddest fuckers.
i have agreed with stancil and i have disagreed with stancil. he has sharp elbows. but the accusation that he is a raging transphobe is not connected to reality. and the weaponization of "i'm listening to trans people" to smear someone because you disagree about fucking econ polling is disgusting
No, I do not “pick on” trans people, I have never done anything like this. And frankly, I think the willingness of some people to completely invent accusations of transphobia in the desperate search for a cudgel against ideological opponents suggests they don’t really care about transphobia

What apparently everyone except Senate Democrats understands is that the survival of Democrats, perhaps literally, depends on Trump hitting Ceaușescu levels of unpopularity.
This goal is not helped if Senate Democrats do anything at all to reduce the harm Trump is inflicting on the American people.

However vexing Stancil can be, the people who've made hating him their entire personality are infinitely more annoying. The sheer force of their hatred has long ago outstripped anything the man's actually said or done, and this is just another wacky example.

Will say it again: We the People don’t need (& shouldn’t want) our military to take unilateral action to remove a President. That would be a coup. We need our military to remain professional, disciplined, subservient to civil authority — & quietly stay in the barracks when ordered into the streets.

Once again, Bluesky is wrong about politics.
Enten: "Trump's net approval rating is at -15 -- the lowest it has been during his entire second term... the Democratic lead on the generic ballot has widened. Trump's political position has worsened. I don't think how you can look at both and conclude anything other than that Dems won the shutdown"

I just cancelled my subscription due to the Scherer piece about RFK which I found deeply disturbing. My decision was reinforced by the author’s interview with Charlie Sykes which helped to clarify his confusion and disappointing approach to his work.

If I have to wait hours at the airport because of this administration’s incompetence, I’m gonna do it in my comfy clothes. And I don’t care what the washed up reality show has-been pretending to be Secretary of Transportation thinks about that.
Sean Duffy: "Dressing with respect -- whether it's a pair of jeans and a decent shirt, I would encourage people to maybe dress a little better which encourages us to maybe behave a little better. Let's try not to wear slippers and pajamas as we come to the airport."
