one of the stranger phenomena in American life is that hate is supposed to flow in one direction (rural people get to hate urban people, Republicans get to hate Democrats) and if the hate goes the other way people pretend as if this is very upsetting.
The media made a HUGE deal out of "basket of deplorables" and "cling to their guns or religion."

But, of course, it will totally ignore Trump saying he hates Democrats: "I hate them. I believe they hate their country."
in addition to his "shylocks" comment, i can't imagine the media backlash if Biden said anything like from this screenshot - that he "hates Republicans" - and i'm also tired of having this "IMAGINE IF BIDEN!" thought experiment but it's just a constant reminder of the double standards

Trump admits (1) the company thrived during the last year of Biden’s economy and (2) will be bearing the brunt of tariffs in Trump’s economy
The pivot to blaming companies for the obvious consequence of your tariffs has begun

If Biden, who is actually Catholic, posted a picture of himself as Pope there would be a thousand op-eds and cable news hits for months about how it was the most blasphemous thing an American president has ever done and we’d assume he had gone insane.
This is real

Just so I am keeping everything straight…the government can’t tell you to wear a mask because FREEDOM!!!!, but it can decide you are a “terrorist” and send you to a foreign gulag without due process and throw away the key.

That right?

When Andrew Tate was charged with rape and human trafficking, Trump intervened to fly him back to the US.

When a working-class father of a disabled 5-year-old child was wrongfully deported and charged with NO crime, Trump refuses to lift a finger.

My latest on Substack: Jackie Robinson purged from the military web, the Iwo Jima memorial scrubbed of Native Americans and Douthat talks to Bannon about technofeudalism and rich folks' posthuman future, while Teslas are literally burning. Are we great again, yet?

The Daily Reid: race purges and serfdom ... are we finally great again?
Jackie Robinson purged, the Iwo Jima memorial whitewashed, and Teslas literally burning. But Steve Bannon and Trump won't get a "live forever" neurochip, as far as we know...

It’s a war on dissent. So much for free speech.
If you are visiting the United States, having a negative view of Trump is enough to get you denied entry.
If this was coming out of Russia or China, we would deplore such an authoritarian attack on freedom of expression.

Good times
The Malibu quakes: There have now been 12 M≥3.0 quakes in approximately the same location north of Malibu since February 2024. In comparison, the previous 25 years had 7 M≥3s in the same location. A couple are clear aftershocks (within a few hours of a larger event), but the others are spread out
