I think the Elissons know that ratings are going to tank, but buying CBS/Paramount is worth it to them for the influence.

I think Bari thinks this is what the people want.

Kinda like a bizarro Major League situation.

I mean, a bill that has support from "over 35 house Republicans" is not going anywhere and MTG has less than zero pull. "They lied to their voters because they think their own voters are stupid," might be a pretty good message.

Well aware. But most people who were persuaded by the ads don't know that. Schoolhouse rock vision of government is powerful. And most executive branch stuff can be reversed.

Nobody has mentioned the fact that R's control entire Federal government and yet seemingly (unless I'm mistaken) aren't going to pass any legislation on this issue...

Someone should try to goad them into admitting they prefer to "maintain the issue" so they can run on it again...

Someone's gotta figure out a way to redirect dollars from those money sink races to something useful.

Is Johnson still using the silly "Pelosi rule" framing or has he ditched that yet? We are well past that timeline, right?

The classic taste we all love to know and describe.

We need something innocuous for these people to channel their doofy cult energy into. Like Eurovision song contest for MAGA.

Not only that, it's also the reason why he brought up Hannibal Lecter constantly during the campaign. Hannibal > Insane > Asylum. Yet he was never asked about it...

As a journalist in 2025, you have to be willing to ask him the logical next question, even if it's the stupidest possible question, and even if it means swallowing the follow-up question you had ready on the tip of your tongue.

"How many people do you think live in the United States?"

Bookmarking this for when Van Hollen is the 2028 VP candidate.

Sheesh bro took Carolyn Maloney's state funeral from her and then retired. Diabolical.
