Nerd stuff.
This has been quite a week. The most honest assessment yet of Biden's unfitness while in office and also Trump continuing to give example after example of why one might make that devil's bargain.

As we mourn the passing of George Wendt, I'd like to, once again, bemoan NJ liquor licensing, which means my little town currently has no Third Place to raise a glass in his memory.

It's like he's a court appointed attorney trying to give the best defense for his indefensible client. Probably why he quit law and got into politics.

This man doesn't believe any of what he is saying.
Rubio spreads misinformation about Van Hollen's trip to El Salvador and meeting with Abrego Garcia: "We deported gang members, including the one you had a margarita with. And that guy is a human trafficker. And that guy is a gang member."

Wait--Habeas corpus is a what???

Malice and incompetence are neck and neck to explain this terrible response
HASSAN: What is habeas corpus?

NOEM: Habeas corpus is a constitutional right that the president has to be able to remove people from this country

HASSAN: That's incorrect

It's time to grow a conscience, Rubio. You have all the dirt. You know what to do.

It's going to be wild to see a bunch of Christian home school patriots dumping money into the ACLU if the next President is a Democrat who treats the Bill of Rights the way this one does.

Shame, too. Because their money would go farther right now. An ounce of prevention, and all that.

Shortly, expect talking points in right wing media discrediting the very notion of narcissism.

Because that cabient meeting is just a whole other level of narcissistic supply.

I feel a little bit for the PR types in the President's orbit. He could stubbornly defend Hegseth for four full years of blunders and missteps, or he could hear a funny joke during a round of golf that convinces him to tweet out Hegseth's termination on the spot.

I would put equal odds of both.
The Trump White House rapid response account accidentally retweeted a report that Hegseth is on his way out

How to retire early as a White House Correspondent:

1. Sell stock
2. Ask President about the Fed
3. Buy back stock at discount
4. Wait a couple days and repeat

If you are at an event where someone on stage gives a Hitler salute and that person is not dragged off by security and kicked out, you are at a Nazi rally.

Hear me out, please:
The head of "Government Efficience" has a lot of pork coming his way. A LOT.

But, despite the popular narrative, SpaceX actually did not come to dominance because of pork. It's going to be increasingly difficult to distinguish how they got here and how the next four years look.

The guy who supports the extreme right in Germany, runs a Nazi social media platform and retweets Nazi conspiracy theories did not mean to do a Nazi salute. It was accidental. Who among us etc.
