Totally this: so few politicians of any party are from the (I hate this phrase, mind you) “pulled up by the bootstraps” folks.
Big money selects big money, which then selects bigger money. I could probably count with my fingers how many politicians had to deal with the word “layaway” to buy things

I did an event in DC & there was a party for donors etc after. Was talking to 2 ppl & I said "Things are so bad." They said "No this is how it is. Things swing one way, then another. It's normal."
That's when I realized why Dems are toothless. They have no idea what this is. Frogs boiling in water.

Keyboards clacked in D.C. on Saturday, thesaurus pages riffed to & fro, Melania documentary film fumes infused half-empty newsrooms, and capitulation resounded as a prime example of rotting traditional media hyped up the most boring use of $45 million in four decades since the 1984 release of “Dune”
Planes roared over D.C. on Saturday, tanks rolled along the National Mall, brass bands resounded and thousands of soldiers marched past cheering crowds, as the Army put on the largest show of military might in the capital in more than three decades. wapo.st/4dYFOck

Not only is this so flimsy, but people flip all the time. Pundit Tim Pool started off covering the Occupy movement, while Howard Lutnick did fairly “woke” stuff for his employees after 9/11.

Saw The Scorpions walk in front of me from their tour bus into a building to do a radio station interview as I was headed to work. One of the band members (Mattias Jabs, probably) smiled at me & gave me the Devil’s Horns wave.
Right folks. Feeling rather down at the moment so bringing back an oldie

SCOOP: The State Department's new reorganization plan includes the opening of an "Office for Remigration," a term popularized by far right extremists and neo-Nazis in Europe. The office will coordinate directly with DHS "to advance the President’s immigration agenda."

This sounds a lot like those “Best Neighborhood” polls that you still find in some media outlets. It’s fluffy but pointless in the end.
I can only wish these topics of debate were the main BS of the moment (like the dress color debate) versus the actual BS we’re being subjected to daily

I wrote about this in my newsletter but the idea that Bluesky has a uniquely hostile culture does not ring true to me. Twitter’s culture, especially at its peak, was so hostile that it lit people’s entire lives on fire if they tweeted something nice about their day that upset the wrong person

If Joe Biden said this kind of word salad on "Meet The Press," I imagine it would be a major story. And this is one of his more coherent responses in an interview transcript that has to be read to be believed. (Link to complete interview in next post.)/1

Just a guess: one local Ohio business will not be boycotting the current president despite his blasphemous display of a very important religious institution.

Seems incredibly “appropriate” that an administration ostensibly putting merit back in hiring essentially hired about the most meritless person possible for one of the most important governmental positions there is.
Pete Hegseth’s wife “met with potential political appointees as the Trump administration scrutinized people for positions at the Pentagon, two people familiar with the issue said. The role effectively had her conducting job interviews…”
